Starting point is 00:00:00 three two one boom and we're live what's happening how are you man i am just stoked to be here i'm stoked to have you here man it's a pleasure to meet you i love your show thank you it's fun it's a fun fucking car show it really is man i tell i tell people i might be the smartest guy in the world i figured out how to drink beer and play with cars get paid for it yeah but it's like it's a fun show it's like, it's a fun show. It's like you're not taking yourself too seriously. You're having a good time. You know, you're buying and selling awesome cars.
Starting point is 00:00:31 Oh, yeah, for sure. It was a dream of mine to get it done. It took eight years to get it sold, but here we are now. Did it really? Yeah, I started pitching the show in 2004. We didn't start until 2008 or 2012. What were you doing before that? Before television or before Gas Monkey?
Starting point is 00:00:50 Yeah. I kind of had two stages in life. I was a firefighter, police officer, medic before I was old enough to drink. I mean, I'm talking 19 years old carrying a gun. Probably one of the smartest things for them to let me do. Damn, you let you have a gun when you were 19? I had a badge. I was a cop.
Starting point is 00:01:07 I mean, literally, I was a police officer. So by the time I was 20, I was also a firefighter. So I did that for a while and then moved into printing and advertising and then sold that and got into this. So was it just like something you're just always into cars and that's what led you to the show? You know, how would I tell the story diplomatically? Realistically, I was watching the shows that were on TV at the time. I'm always been a car nut and a motorcycle guy and what have
Starting point is 00:01:36 you. And I realized one night that my kids are never in the room watching it. And my wife's not in the room watching it, you know and uh the shows that were on were a little bit too much bravado and and i'm a tough guy and you know so i dug it and all my buddies dug it but the wives and stuff and i was like golly they're missing a big chunk of the market here if you could tone down that part of it a little bit and still have a cool brand and still be a cool guy you know and get the moms and the kids in the room hopefully it's a lot more successful and so that's that was kind of where the idea came from and i just went out and started you know, and get the moms and the kids in the room, hopefully it's a lot more successful. And so that was kind of where the idea came from,
Starting point is 00:02:07 and I just went out and started it. That's interesting. So the marketing side of you kicked in. Uh-huh. So the marketing side of you went, ah, I think there's another way to do this. Yeah, I mean, I'm still a tattooed guy with some jewelry, but, you know, I got a poodle on a leash,
Starting point is 00:02:23 not a pit bull on a chain. Well, the show, it doesn't seem compromised. That's what's interesting about it, because it seems like a kind of a guy's show. I never thought about it that way. Well, the way I approached it was just like when I was a kid and my dad had a garage, not open for public garage, but he had a place that we kept his car and the neighbors would come over and they'd tinker, and they'd drink beer. And that's what car guys do.
Starting point is 00:02:47 So we kind of took that approach of that's what Gas Monkey does. We just drink some beer and play with some cars and goof around. It's just like Saturday afternoon, but all week long. Did you have any of a background in automobile knowledge? Did you know, like, how to fix things? Or did you? Yeah, I've never really been the full fabricator. You know, I understand everything and how it works, but I'm probably more of a business
Starting point is 00:03:11 guy. So I was able to go out and hire good guys to do the fabricating stuff. And we've got a great team, but I did have the car knowledge and I, and I had, you know, I had the eyeball for what was good and keeping up with what was going to be happening and things like that. And that's kind of my strong suit is saying, okay, Porsches are fixed to be popular, so we're going to get into 356s or Broncos like the one you drove. Or what have you. And I keep my eye on the market. That's interesting. But you still do keep your eye on the market. I saw that 68 that you have outside, the 68 Chevelle.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Yeah. 68, is that what it is? 68 convertible. God damn, that's a nice car. It's probably the best one I've ever seen, I mean, from an original standpoint. Yeah, it's mint. I mean, it's got little scuffs up. It's driven, you know, but it's in perfect condition.
Starting point is 00:03:55 It doesn't have any dents or anything wrong with it. It's literally a little old lady from Pasadena. I mean, the lady bought it brand new, and she passed away a couple years ago, and I bought it from her grandson. Wow, what a cliche. 52,000 original miles and never been wrecked. Old lady from Pasadena is a cliche. I know, right? It was technically Pomona, but, you know.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Same shit. Wow. Yeah, that car. I mean, I've said this on the show a million times. I'm a giant fan of the time period of 1965 to somewhere around 71 they fell apart. Yeah. You still get a 71 Challenger, a 71 Barracuda is still pretty sweet. For sure. But then you get
Starting point is 00:04:33 into like 72, 73. They had to start putting the big bumpers on there with the shocks and everything just got ugly. It just fell apart. Then you got the gas crunch and then everything got four cylinders and it was a bad time in the late 70s for sure. It just fell apart. Then he got the gas crunched, and then everything got four cylinders. It was a bad time in the late 70s for sure. It was a bad time, but it's a good time now.
Starting point is 00:04:51 It's a really interesting time now for muscle cars. The race is so crazy that they're putting out street legal cars you could buy from a dealer with 700 plus horsepower. And almost every dealer has one now oh yeah for sure i mean i've got a demon myself that's crazy 108 horsepower it's fucking crazy now the new gt500 is out that's gonna have over 700 horsepower you know you have the the camaro l uh um what is it one le it's the no what what is it, LT1 1LE? No, what the fuck is the name of the- It's something like that.
Starting point is 00:05:27 ZL1 1LE. ZL, yeah, that's it. Yeah, ZL1 1LE, which is 650 horsepower, and then the new ZR1 has 750 horsepower. They're just preposterous. Oh, it's, I think it could be a little dangerous. You know what, everybody out there thinking, hey, I could drive a 700 horsepower car because it's completely different than, you know, a normal one. Well, did you see the video of the guy from one of the head guys at GM who took it on track? Like one of the first days they were releasing the car and he spun out on the first turn and slammed into the wall.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Well, I can't say much. I wrecked a brand new Hellcat the other day racing at Woodward. Did you really? Yeah. Oh, no. I went to Woodward Dream Hellcat the other day racing at Woodward. Did you really? Yeah. Oh, no. I went to Woodward Dream Cruise, and they had a little celebrity matchup, and I was racing and just lost it and hit the wall, took out the whole side of the car. Were you on a track, or were you on a strip? It was a street track that they had right there on Woodward Avenue.
Starting point is 00:06:20 So they put up the blocks, and you take off. Yikes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Those Hellcats are beautiful, but they're not that great at cornering. It's still a giant car. It's a big car. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Mustang and Camaro are going to do better in the corners for sure. Yeah. The Hellcat has so much front. There's so much out in front. I mean, it really does remind you more than any of those other cars, though, of those 1970 cars. It really has that. that shape is more I cut like if you look at a 1969 Camaro and then you look at a 2019 Camaro you like I don't see it that's not the same thing but a Challenger really does look like that old car well Kim Tim Kaniski's
Starting point is 00:06:59 killed it I mean that was his whole passion project the whole time he was running Dodge and he just absolutely nailed it. Yeah, no, they did. They made a great-looking modern muscle car. The other ones are just great-looking cars. I mean, they are still muscle cars, but you don't really think about the old days when you see them. Now, they've tried, but they didn't get it as good as Dodge. Now, you guys make some fucking great builds, too.
Starting point is 00:07:24 You know, you guys have done some really sweet custom builds like you were telling me outside that the longest you do a build for is 25 days uh we've got it down to about 25 from 32 ish when we started uh so when you see a car on the show um if it's a single episode then we built that car in 25 26 days that's crazy start to finish paint interior everything how do you do it so quick uh a lot of planning and we've learned over seven years now and 130 of them that um you know we've just got our process in and the crew that i have at the shop now is unbelievably phenomenal and there's only six guys doing it there's six guys that do it
Starting point is 00:08:02 25 days we're done that's insane but what about like if you're going to do a custom suspension or you know art more morrison chassis or something like that it just takes some planning so literally what we do is we build the car three times this is what i tell everybody we'll say okay we're going to build this 68 chevelle uh and so we decide how we're going to build it and what kind of parts we're going to use what kind of suspension wheels motor we we put all that down on paper. And then if it works mathematically for the project we want to do, then I go find the car. Then when I find the car, we order every single part.
Starting point is 00:08:35 And we don't start that car until every single thing that was on that list is in-house, has been checked, and we're ready to go. So now all we've got is actual fabrication time and human error, and we're ready to go so now all we've got is actual fabrication time and human error and we're ready to go still seems like such a short amount of time and all the builds that i've seen take seven months nine months a year it's just the shops are set up differently uh it may be one or two guys or maybe they've got kind of you know assembly programs going on or what have you but we get in there like you'll love the one we're building right now we're building a 77 international scout and started with a really nice one orange white stripes plaid interior i mean the whole ball of wax whack the the chassis out from under it put in a full chris austin chassis works chassis with uh only two-wheel drive and it's all 2018
Starting point is 00:09:23 hellcat eight-speed automatic oh jesus in it and slammed on the ground but it's still a removable top and what it's a great california truck i guarantee you that oh wow so you made it so you lowered it yeah we're calling it the hell scalp ah wow that's pretty badass it's gonna be wicked car yeah those uh hellcat chassis um uh Yeah, those Hellcat chassis, Jonathan Ward, the same guy who's doing this, who did my Bronco, the Icon, they're doing that with one of the, I think it's a Superbird. One of those iconic Mopars from the late 60s, early 70s. They're doing a full Hellcat chassis and the whole deal with that. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:10:05 That'd be wicked. Yeah. What company was the first one to really get stupid with these cars? I guess it was kind of Corvette with the ZR1 with horsepower figures. Yeah, for sure. Corvette stepped out there with the ZR1 and started cranking it up. Everybody was kind of in production. You had the resurgence of Shelby. Yeah, there it is.
Starting point is 00:10:25 There's Jonathan Ward's. Wow. Look at that thing. That's good looking. That is like literally like trying to have a block, like a city block on wheels that you take around a corner. Look how long that goddamn thing is. Yeah, that's going to be a fresh car.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Yeah. For sure. Badass. He does some awesome shit over there, too. He's doing some,'s uh he's doing some well he's doing one that i don't think you can talk about i think he's keeping it under wraps but he's got a bunch of cool shit yeah for sure have you ever been there i have not but right down the street i know go visit afterwards we might i don't think i'm gonna make my flight
Starting point is 00:10:57 when's your flight i don't know i got a couple of them on hold notice i said to say i got a couple on hold because i don't think I make enough money for a plane yet. I'm going to have to talk to Disco on that. Like a private plane? Is that what you're saying? Yeah. I mean, we're all scrambling for something. Yeah, that's the ultimate scramble, the private jet money.
Starting point is 00:11:16 But that is just so much fucking money. That seems pretty ridiculous. It is a little ridiculous. Yeah. But I'd like to have a tricked out one. Gas monkey on it. Big old monkey on the tail with a keg in it somewhere oh yeah for sure now when you do these shows and you bargain people
Starting point is 00:11:34 down and then they watch the show do people ever get pissed i've had a few um and uh in the first uh first few years they were just excited you excited that we were going to be doing something with the car. And there's always an element of sentiment to it. It was their dads or it was their moms or grandmas or whatever. And they want to see it go to a good home. So you got several different kind of people. They wanted you to not do anything or if you're going to fix it up, we want to see it. All kinds of things like that.
Starting point is 00:12:03 you to not do anything or if you're going to fix it up, we want to see it, you know, all kinds of things like that. But nowadays it's a little more harder for me to get a decent deal because of the success of the show. And I show up and they're like, oh, you're that guy on TV. No, I didn't say 10,000. I said 13. You know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Yeah. Well, I would imagine when people see what you sell them for after you fix them up, then they get a little upset. Yeah, they can. But, I mean, they don't understand the amount of work and time and money that we've put into it. Most of the cars that we're building on the show now, we're putting at least $100,000 in and sometimes as much as $300,000. Really? You know, I mean, we're building – everything we're building now, when the new season comes out in June, people are going to be amazed because, you know, we're building this kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Wow. And it's wicked cool. Are you doing that in 25 days? Yeah. Fuck, man. Just put together a good plan and execute it. Well, it must be like a thing now because of the show that people want to get a gas monkey built car. They do.
Starting point is 00:12:59 But how would I say this diplomatically? If it weren't for employees, vendors, and customers, business would be great. So we don't do a lot for the customer until we've built it for ourselves, and then we sell it to them. But as far as coming in off the street, we just like building what we want to build, honing our skills, and then we find a buyer. Every once in a while, I'll have a guy come in and go look i can this is what i want but i can i won't call you i won't come in there with a new steering
Starting point is 00:13:30 wheel you know it's like it gets that's why a lot of times cars do take seven months or a year or whatever because the the guy that's having it's built is in there every other weekend going oh i don't know maybe we move this over here and paint it purple oh yeah i get it yeah no it does seem like it would be way better to just build it how you like it and then sell it well yeah i mean it's still a business decision i'm trying to build it to where i think it's going to do the most you know the most money at the end of the day and stay true with uh what's going on as far as that particular car and what's going on in the marketplace and technology and what have you um and we do get a lot of calls where people come in and they go okay i want that
Starting point is 00:14:09 exact same thing you know and so we'll build another one well sometimes you you do buy cars and just sell them without doing anything to it right yeah that's what we call our b stories you know we'll buy something bring it in maybe just put some wheels on it or whatever but usually it's just clean it up get it running, sell somebody else the dream because not everybody can afford a fully built car and or they want to do it themselves. So we get them a good project. Yeah. I don't think people realize how much money is involved in a fully built car. Ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Yeah. Have you ever seen those Revology Mustangs? I was looking at those last night it's pretty intensive build really really interesting stuff this guy take it's it's essentially not really a mustang i mean it's kind of licensed by ford it looks exactly like a mustang and also on mustang parts but he's got everything new it's just brand new like a just like a brand new you know suv you take the kids to soccer yeah except really fast and fun to drive. And 1966, 65, 66, he's got a GT350. It's not really a 66 GT350. Every part of it, all the fenders, everything, it's all newly fabricated steel.
Starting point is 00:15:19 We're going to do that this season, too. I'm going to build a car back to original, like a 60. I haven't decided if we're going to do a Mustang or if we're going to do a Camaro. Hey uh i'm going to build a car back to original like a 60 i haven't decided we're going to do mustang if we're going to do a camaro but hey there's this guy's car i mean come the fuck on that is beautiful well we're going to build one that never existed look how pretty that goddamn thing is he's killing it i want to see what one of those things is like in real life he's even got push button start you know um it senses when you're near the uh the car so it'll unlock for you but it's the just it seems like it's super high quality build too look how fucking pretty that is well the trick is is how much work goes into it because yes they do make these parts aftermarket
Starting point is 00:16:01 and what have you but a lot of times that's not the best stuff in the world so you end up fabricating that and massaging it in and making all the gaps right and what have you so you can't just expect that you're going to buy a set of new you know a new front end fenders and hood and everything it's going to work out perfect you're going to always have to massage it and get it right well i've been paying attention to this guy for a while and essentially what he's been doing is honing the process over the last few years and he's got a company now that makes i think it's called dynacorp that makes all the parts they make everything in terms of like the bodies body stamps yeah and you know he's got his whole process down but you know when you watch him drive the cars it seems like he's i mean it sounds perfect.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Everything inside of it seems completely locked down. No squeaks or rattles. It's really like a modern car. For sure. And there's a lot of shops that do an amazing job at doing that stuff. That's what I like. What I don't like, I mean, I like the way they look. If I look at a 67 GT500, I like the way they look. If I look at like a 67 GT500, I like the way they look.
Starting point is 00:17:06 But if you try to hit the brakes on one of those things, or if you try to make a turn with those old tires, everything's fucking that skinny, and the balance is all wonky. It's like 1967 car balance. We get a lot of that. I've built a few cars for contests, and somebody will win. And they're like, oh, I won this car. And then they're like, this is horrible. I'm like, that's because it's a stock 65-plus thing.
Starting point is 00:17:34 And what have you. Because if you don't realize what you're buying, then, yeah, it can be a disappointing process. Yeah, those old cars, man, I mean, we've come a long way. It's pretty amazing. If you go back from a 1970 car to a 2019 car and you drive it and you hit the brakes and you do all the numbers like stopping 60 to zero and handling, I mean, the cars of today are pretty ridiculous. It is absolutely amazing the technology that's out. And the fact that we can use that technology is so much easier. technology that's out. And the fact that we can use that technology is so much easier. I mean, you can build these kinds of cars or anything you dream up because you can literally do it right here with your, you know, your Google in your pocket. Okay. I want to do this and this and
Starting point is 00:18:12 what have you. So it ends up being, um, the cars that we're putting out are definitely just like a brand new car. Yeah. But it's a really interesting time too, for resto mods, you know, because so many people are into that now they realize that they like the looks of those old cars but they're not really into the way they drove correct everybody's about comfort and bluetooth and you know all that kind of stuff so i'm not really that way i'm a 32 ford nut and i kind of like cars the way that they more or less came out i mean i'm all for maybe some disc brakes or safety or whatever, but I like the squeaking and having to learn how to drive it and figure it out. The character of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Manual transmissions. Exactly. Yeah. How much longer before the manual's dead? I think it's already got the nails in the coffin. Seems like it, but then, you know, like American cars, they'll come out with cars like the GT350. You can't even get it with an automatic.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Fuck off. Yeah. They won't even sell it to you. Yeah, and they're going to hold on with that as long as they can. But, you know, your big competition cars, Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, Mercedes, you know, you can't get a manual. Wow, everybody wants that Nürburgring time. You know, they all want that super fast Nürburgring time. Nurburgring time.
Starting point is 00:19:23 You know, they all want that super fast Nurburgring time. And unless you have a double clutch transmission, unless you have paddle shifts, you're going to miss a second here, a second there. And then people are going to look at it. It's so ridiculous that people look at those times. Yeah, because the average show isn't going out there and doing that. I mean, modern cars, I mean, like the ZL1 that we were talking about earlier, I think they're down to, the 1LE I think is down to a 7 minute and real low seconds Nurburgring time, which is fucking crazy. That's faster than a GT3 RS from a couple of years ago. For sure.
Starting point is 00:19:59 For a $60,000 car that you could buy at a Chevy dealership. Probably closer to 80, but yeah. Is it? Yeah, I think it's like 78. Okay. Okay. Yeah. But they're... Loaded. Phenomenal car.
Starting point is 00:20:07 I agree that that Corvette and probably the Demon are two cars that are the most bang for the buck. I mean, just get in and go. The ZL1, or the ZR1 rather, is almost too stupid. It's almost too ridiculous. If you're a regular person and you you buy that and you try to take it somewhere to for you to understand the limits of the grip how much gas you can apply for you to have an educated foot yeah for sure i mean i when those when they first started making those how was it seven or eight years ago maybe a little longer uh i had a client had me getting one
Starting point is 00:20:40 he brought it back the next day scared to death He goes I just sell it I'll never drive it He goes that is just stupid Yeah I saw a picture of one the other day In my Google News feed That someone had bought and wrecked the next day Oh yeah I was just reading today Somebody sent me a link
Starting point is 00:20:58 Did you see the episode where we built the F40 Look at that fucking car I'm doing something with that right now that i can't i i guess i can imagine everything you see there the styling the the the carbon fiber points the the lift in the front everything the wing um all of it but we're doing it with a 72 riviera boat tail what yeah? Yeah. It's going to be freaking sick. We've already chopped the top and brought it down so that it doesn't have that clam mouth and looking windshield. And so we're taking all of a bunch of our styling cues and definitely all of our driving
Starting point is 00:21:38 components ideology and we're cramming it into a 72 Riviera. How does that fit? Huh? How's that going to fit? Well, we're not taking the it into a 72 Rivie. How does that fit? Huh? How's that going to fit? Well, we're not taking the chassis and putting it over there. We're making our own. Right. And we've worked with Chris Austin on it also for the rear.
Starting point is 00:21:53 But you're using that transmission, that engine. Independent suspension. Whoa. Independent rear. I got a video here if I can find it. Isn't a 72 Riviera like a million pounds? How much does the thing weigh? It's a lot, but we're clearing all of that out.
Starting point is 00:22:05 We're working with Speedcore, and the top's going to be carbon fiber, and so will the hood, the trunk, and maybe even the full front clip. Speedcore did a nasty 1970 Mustang for Robert Downey Jr. that I just saw online the other day with a supercharged Coyote engine in it. Like a weird color, too. Like a beige. Like a weird kind of yellowish, funky color.
Starting point is 00:22:29 See, I like the funky colors. Do you? The crazier, the better, yeah. I just love it. Like, our car's gonna be like a weird muted gray with red and chrome and carbon. I mean, we're getting
Starting point is 00:22:42 pretty crazy with it. We're about halfway through. So it's a 72? Boattail Riviera. See if you can find one of those. I'm trying to picture that. I had a Riviera when I was in high school. No, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:22:55 I had a Skylark. So yeah, here you go. Whoa. That's a stock one, but then it'll turn into what we built. Look at that. We just started changing it. Yeah. So that's a, you know, a few people have built them into hot rods.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Wow. If you stay on that video, it'll just feed to what it's going to look like when it's done. Oh, I see what you did. So you have, oh, wow, that is crazy. It's going to be nuts. It'll probably be at SEMA this year in bare metal. Whoa. That's a beautiful car.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Don't have wagon wheels on it like that stupid thing, though. Yeah, I'm not a fan of those. That was a thing for a while. That's going to be pretty fucking rare. That's pretty badass. That's pretty badass. Yeah, you don't see those. You never see that car.
Starting point is 00:23:40 That's a rare car. No, we found a one owner with zero hit, zero rust. I mean, the metal launch is perfect. What are those Australian cars that we're in Mad Max? It's finished now. Ooh, damn. That is going to look pretty nasty. It's going to be slammed like that?
Starting point is 00:23:53 And it's going to be nasty, too. We're aiming for around 1,300 horsepower. What? We're building that one just for sheer shits and giggles and for fun because nobody does that. Well, somebody's going to want it for sure. I hope they have a lot of money because that's like a money pit right now. Yeah. How much does something like that cost to build?
Starting point is 00:24:17 $350. Wow. Yeah. To build. And then how much would you like to make? Well, you want to try to – I always try to make at least 20%. I mean, that's kind of my goal. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:27 But. That's reasonable. Yeah. Especially considering all the creative time and putting it together. Yeah, we do everything in-house. I mean, it's, except for interior, we're doing every single thing in-house now. I mean, we've come a long way since the beginning. And when you have that kind of horsepower, what kind of rubber are you going to have on that thing?
Starting point is 00:24:45 Oh, it'll have 15 inches on each side. Right. It'll have, I think we went with 24s and 22s and super, super wide. Wow. Yeah, you kind of have to, right? And even then, it's probably going to spin out everywhere. No, because we're using all the technology. We're using the independent suspension.
Starting point is 00:25:03 We're using all the sensors, all the stuff that's in that brand new vet. So you can use traction control as well? All of it. Wow. How do you adapt that over to an old car like that? You just go through the systems. We've got a guy working for us now that helped us run our standalone Hellcat that they said couldn't be done when we built the SharkCat. Hellcat that they said couldn't be done when we built the SharkCat.
Starting point is 00:25:31 And so he just gets the whole thing and starts eliminating sensors or adding or, you know, and we end up with all the same technology. So the sensors understand when a wheel's spinning. And then they compensate with brakes or... Horsepower, brakes, you know, the stupid the stupid light you know you can't do that you gotta so we'll be able to turn it all on and off just like a brand new car oh so will you have different modes like a race mode street mode like that yeah but what a lot of people try to do that i can't stand is they'll take the something with that idea and they'll go okay i'm just gonna pull the body off and cram this under there and weld it together and hope it works. And we make everything adapt to the old car.
Starting point is 00:26:08 It still works, though, the way it's supposed to in a brand new car. Yeah. I've seen, you know, there's a guy online that has on Instagram GT500 super swap. He took an old GT500 body and put it on a GT500 from a modern chassis and piece it together like that. But I was always thinking with a setup like that, you probably can't have airbags, right? You can. There's actually ways to add it into there. But you get into the –
Starting point is 00:26:38 There it is. Yeah. You get into the geometry and the direction of the airbag. Look how beautiful that looks, though. Yeah, but you don't want to play with the R&D of trying to put an airbag into something like that unless you really, really know what you're doing because you don't, you know, a fraction of an inch off of being where it needs to be, that airbag could do more damage than good. It's weird, though, because you're dealing with a totally different size body, too.
Starting point is 00:27:03 So I wonder how he's doing this. It's easy. Is it really? It doesn't sound easy, but it is. Is it really? Have you done that before? We haven't, but I understand the process. And really, it's just cut, massage, move in, move out.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Because there's a company called Mag Motors. Have you ever heard of them? I don't think I have. Go to magmotors.com. They have, what they're doing is they're putting a carbon fiber body on a modern GT500, but they're using a 67 like Eleanor body, but they're making it out of carbon fiber. So it's, that one's gross. Go to the silver one. That white one looks disgusting.
Starting point is 00:27:41 I just hate the Eleanor body. Do you really? It's so overplayed. How dare you it's just too it's just been done so many times but who cares it's amazing yeah go to yeah that's those are the images but go to get it get it from the side so you get a better look at it that's a fucking beautiful car see to me it sits weird it looks like it sits a little too high and it looks like they're worried like i don't know anything about them but to me looking
Starting point is 00:28:05 at it's like you need to get it down a little bit get a little more attitude get a deeper dish on the wheel um well i think what they're doing is trying to use all the geometry yes of the modern car correct so you end up with something that looks like it could go four-wheeling a little bit right yeah it Yeah, it's definitely not slammed. Yeah, in terms of looks, right? Yes. I mean, I'm sure the car runs and drives and performs unbelievably, but to me it's missing a little something.
Starting point is 00:28:37 You know that company Classic Recreations? Have you seen them? No, I don't think so. They're doing similar cars like that too, but they're doing it from the ground up. There's a lot of people doing it because with technology coming the way that it has, it's not as hard to do as it used to be. It's still a laborious task, don't get me wrong, but you can make all those systems work in anything. See, a guy like you that's a car guy, you look at an eleanor and you look at it like it's played but a person who doesn't see them all the time was not in a car
Starting point is 00:29:11 industry you when was the last time you saw one of those fucking things on the street shit i was there was like five of them for sale that's the thing if you go there but like fusion motorsports they're they're right down the street here. They're the only licensed dealers. They have some deal with the woman who was the wife of the guy who wrote Gone in 60 Seconds or Produced it or something like that. So they make – go to Fusion, Eleanor. They make some pretty sick ones. But you think those have played out? Personally, yeah. I'm just not an Eleanor car fan.
Starting point is 00:29:45 That is fucking beautiful. Why do you hate America, Richard? I don't hate America. How could you not love that? It's just there's hundreds, if not thousands, of them out there. Come on, bro. You must hate America. No way, man.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Secretly. And I love the Mustangs. I've got three of them myself, including a real 68 Shelby. Is it the shape or the color scheme? I think it's the shape. I mean, to me, it's such a popular car in the movie that, you know. Too many people did it. And now everybody's doing it, and it's what have you.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Yeah, but I mean, how many of them are out there in comparison to, like, say, a modern ZR1? There's probably not nearly as many of those out there. I bet you there's thousands of those out there. You think so? Oh, yeah. Really? Yeah, there's different companies making tons of them. All car people say that.
Starting point is 00:30:33 They say two cars they think are played out, 69 Camaros and these things. Like, everybody does a 69 Camaro, and everybody does an Eleanor. Yeah, and the Dukes Azar car. Oh, yeah. Same thing. Yeah. Now, a badass 69 Charger, don't get me wrong,
Starting point is 00:30:48 but painted orange with a flag on the top. It's played out. You can't do that anymore. That flag is fucking persona non grata. That is, for sure. You believe they pulled
Starting point is 00:30:57 that show off the air? Did they? Yes, because of the flag. That show's off the air. I thought it showed on some weird, obscure cable channel. They pulled it off of TV Land.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Really? Yep, TV Land. I wrote a whole thing about it on Instagram, how ridiculous it was. Yeah, I don't know if I agree with that. I mean, it's like trying to erase history or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Well, you live in Dallas, though. It's a little easier to get by with a Confederate flag in Dallas.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Oh, yeah, we don't have a bunch of matcha tea drinkers and what have you like we do out here in california yeah freaking i i you know living in dallas i i have to do my business uh with the people out here in la and it's you know i'm getting off work before they've had their two chai lattes and walked their dog and showed up to the office you know and i'm like come guys. Get up and get to work. Then I get accused of, have you been drinking? I'm like, yeah, it's 7.30 in the night here. I've been off for two and a half hours. People get upset at you if you've been drinking?
Starting point is 00:31:56 Well, no, when I'm trying to conduct some of the business calls that we do in the evenings because they haven't gotten to work yet. And they ask you if you've actually been drinking? Sometimes. Really? Well, because they know you from the show? Well And they ask you if you've actually been drinking? Sometimes. Really? Well, is it because they know you from the show? Well, I'm talking about my agents and managers and networks and whatever. I'm like, yeah, because I've been off since 5 o'clock, guys.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Most people have a couple beers and sit around the shop. Well, most people there, yeah. It's a different world out here. It's a little bit of a culture shock. It is. I don't know. I mean, I like it. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:32:28 But I think if I was going to move a gas monkey anywhere, it would probably be Scottsdale. Scottsdale's nice. It's freaking cool. It's about a million degrees in the summer, though. You ever go there? Yeah, but it's a dry heat. So is the sauna. It's fucking preposterous.
Starting point is 00:32:44 We went outside. I was in Phoenix fucking preposterous We went outside I was in It was in Phoenix Last July And we went outside We just stood there For a second
Starting point is 00:32:50 Going this is This is ridiculous We should get used to this Because this is what Global warming is going to be Like in LA In just a few years Yeah you guys are going to
Starting point is 00:32:57 Either be on fire From the From the volcanoes Or global warming Or whatever Or sliding into the ocean But I really like scottsdale a fun fact next week they have me playing in the scottsdale open in the waste
Starting point is 00:33:11 management open there in the celebrity pro-am oh yeah do you golf i absolutely suck at it do you horribly um i've been a member of the same country club for about 19 years i've probably played about 50 rounds of golf in my life and they've got me playing in the pro-am, the celebrity thing, and I'm like, boy, whoever gets teamed up with me. That's in big trouble. Are you going to tighten up before you go? Are you going to take some lessons or anything? No way, man.
Starting point is 00:33:36 I'm swinging. Because the way I look at it is all I'm going to do then is be pissed off that I can't do what the guy told me to do. Right. It's going to get much better. And then it's do what the guy told me to do right so i'm gonna get much better and then it's like what i tell him on but on top of that is i'm like okay you think you're so good at golf because you can shoot 72 you know or whatever well mathematically this is an 18 shot game right you can figure it out mathematically yeah i mean if you had some insane
Starting point is 00:34:02 ability well yeah but you don't have to have insane ability to figure out the mathematics of it. So it's an 18-shot game, guys. Yeah, but no one's ever done that. So how is it an 18-shot game? Just mathematically. It's like saying every fight is a one-punch fight. Well, no. It's more like saying that because more fights are one- fights than ever a golf game is an 18 shot golf game
Starting point is 00:34:26 I'm seeing mathematically propulsion direction, you know, etc and so forth You can get that ball from that spot to that hole every time it's possible with enough power, right? Yeah But then what have you but that's literally like saying every fight is a one-shot fight No way why because a lot of fights are one-shot fights, but there's never been an 18-hole game that's played with 18 shots. But there are hole-in-ones. So all you need is 18 of them. There's never been 18 of them.
Starting point is 00:34:53 It's never happened in the history of the human race. I think the most they've ever done in an actual real tournament is two. Someone's done two? I think somebody did. Wow. I'd have to look it up. But, yeah. So one-shot fight fight that'd probably be you
Starting point is 00:35:06 fighting me you just hit me and i'd go down there's been quite a few in the that i've called one punch in the beginning of the fight bam someone gets hit and they go down at least three or four in the history of the fight duane ludwig like six seconds first first punchy through that'd probably be me we already talked about working out. Yeah, you're not a workout guy. I go down pretty quick. I can't believe you've never worked out ever in your life. I really haven't. And you're thinking about starting? More like just cardio and stuff.
Starting point is 00:35:33 I turned 50 in two months, so I'm starting to feel it. You know I am a little bit. It's a weird number, right? It's a weird number, plus I look at my dad, and he's 23 years older than me, and I'm like, God, I got 20 years left. Holy shit. Yeah. Well, working out definitely holds off the Grim Reaper a little bit.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Oh, yeah. It keeps your body working better, but it takes effort. You got to be willing to do it. Well, like I said, I just hope things work out. Just hire a hot trainer. Hire a chick that's that's gonna you'll be motivated or embarrassed both you'll be embarrassed and that will get you motivated yeah this chick's like looking at me going what is wrong with you what kind of man are you what kind of man yeah
Starting point is 00:36:16 that is some embarrassing shit with a chick and lift more than you yeah well i'm sure there's a lot of them oh there's a lot of them there's a lot of them around the block yeah well right around the corner there's a lot of them. Oh, there's a lot of them. There's a lot of them around the block. Yeah, well. Right around the corner, there's a giant fucking bodybuilding gym. For chicks? Oh. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:36:31 For guys. For everybody. Right. I mean, it's just savages. I don't know. I like an athletic build on a girl, but I don't know if I want her to have giant muscles. Yeah, there's a point of no return. I don't want her to take bigger crunches than me.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Right. Yeah. There's a point i don't want it to take bigger crunches than me right yeah there's a there's a point where it gets creepy there's like uh yeah roll over i'm holding her from behind a little spoon and i'm like oh is that you joe yeah like veins right like veiny forearms on chicks like something about something about like veiny forearms on chicks. Like something about, something about like veiny chest, like a girl with a veiny, veiny pecs. Yeah. No. No, it didn't work. It's a mistake. They're not supposed to have pecs anyway.
Starting point is 00:37:11 They're supposed to have boobs. Yeah. But they have boobs combined with pecs. That's where it gets real weird when they have fake boobs, but they also have pec muscles. Oh, and you can feel the muscles underneath the fake boob?
Starting point is 00:37:20 Yeah. He's like this, this water balloon that's floating on top of this sinew. Yeah. They just get a little too crazy. Now, that's one thing I do like about California here. You know, the Southern California little blonde with all the tattoos and her little bikini on the beach and what have you.
Starting point is 00:37:37 They got those in Texas, though. Not as many. They don't? Yeah, we got them, but not as many. Maybe I'm on Instagram too much. They don't? Yeah, we got them, but not as many. Maybe I'm on Instagram too much.
Starting point is 00:37:51 It seems like every girl from Texas on Instagram has tattoos all over the place. Yeah, but that's, you know, there's 20 of them, not hundreds of them. Oh, right, right, right. Yeah, out here there's thousands. They're everywhere. Go to like Venice Beach. It's hard to find a girl who doesn't have a tattoo. That's unique these days. That's a real rebel.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Yeah. A girl with no piercings and no tattoos. It's either rebel or boring. Yeah. Probably both. She's rebelling against being exciting. Yes. I think the girl bodybuilder, though, what happens is people get into something and they forget how weird it is for everybody else.
Starting point is 00:38:23 So as they get deeper and deeper into it, they just want to excel at it. They want to lift more weights and they're trying to put more on the squat rack. They're dead lifting. Their neck gets big. Yeah. And I had a girl that worked for me for a long time that was real into it. She was like this, I don't know what competition she does, but it was body sculpting and stuff. And this girl's over there measuring florets of broccoli on a scale.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Oh, that's when they fucked up. You want another one? Yeah. Whoa! Oops. Yeah. Once they start measuring their food and counting their macros, like, settle down. Unless you're in some gigantic competition.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Cheers. Cheers, sir. Hell yeah. Fix and break out some tequila for you in a minute. Break it out, man. We have cups. Hell yeah. You brought cups, too? At least this guy comes prepared. Oh, you have
Starting point is 00:39:13 Gas Monkey tequila. Get the fuck out of here. You got your own tequila? Dude, can I get a Gas Monkey t-shirt? Do you have one? I brought you one. I fucking love that logo. I got some of this crap down here. Dude, I'll put one on right now. I don't give a fuck. Look at that. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Got a couple of them here. Nice. Whatever. Look at that, Jamie, huh? Fellas. Oh, yeah. Nice. Dude, that is cool.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Yeah, you guys have, like, the whole apparel line. Dude, we have everything. I mean you guys have like the whole apparel line. Dude, we have everything. I mean, we've got tools. We've got, I saw a bath mat the other day at like Home Goods or something, and I'm like, I don't even remember proving that. Is it for sure yours? Yeah, yeah. Or is it some knockoff shit?
Starting point is 00:39:58 No, it's a licensed product. Well, that's part of the thing, right? You guys came up with a cool logo. Yeah, and the monkey's, you know, he's that lovable character that's also a pain in the ass and kind of in there messing stuff up all the time, but you can't shoot him because he's just, that's what he does. He's a monkey. And what have you. So we did the gas monkey cinnamon tequila.
Starting point is 00:40:19 This is... It's cinnamon? Yeah. It's 100% blue agave just swirled with a little bit of cinnamon. Nice. My kid's got a soccer game after this. I'm going to be fucked up. Good times.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Well, it's a good way to get through the game. Yeah, for sure. That's actually good. It's good stuff. Don't tell Ron White, but I think your tequila's better. He'll get mad. Really? He's going to hear this. He'll get mad at white but i think your tequila is better he'll get mad really hear this he'll get mad at me he loves his tequila we came up with this because uh you know this is the only tequila you ever find since made in america really because you have to do um jalisco you know real
Starting point is 00:40:56 blue agave tequila is always hecho en mexico from jalisco to get that, I ship it in in tankers. And then I do it here. So, we're switching our distributors, our distillers right now and we'll be made in Texas. So, you can't grow it in America? You can't grow the agave in America? You could, but a real
Starting point is 00:41:19 tequila, just like champagne in France, you know, real tequila is always from Jalisco area and what have you. How weird is that? It's like Burgundy, right? Yeah. Burgundy is from- Or Bordeaux.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Bordeaux, exactly. A certain part of France. That's funny. I guess I kind of knew that. I didn't think about that. That's weird. Whiskey can make anywhere. We're literally sold out right now worldwide.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Really? Yeah. I took it think about that. That's weird. Whiskey can make anywhere. We're literally sold out right now worldwide. Really? Yeah. I took it to the troops. We went and did a deal with the PX exchanges on all the bases in the world, and they wiped me out. Wow. And so we're having to make it right now. We're completely sold out everywhere. That's fucking great.
Starting point is 00:42:00 I had to borrow a couple of bottles from somebody that was hoarding them. That is a fucking dope logo, though, that monkey with the tongue hanging out now you have that on the outside of your garage do you get a bunch of looky loos and find out where you guys are oh we do it on purpose we've got a little spot where people can come by and see the cars uh we got a building there and then we've got a merch shop and inside the merch shop you can go in the back and there's like a party area where you can have a i don't sell beer or alcohol but you can have a gas Monkey energy drink or water and kind of feel like you're in the experience.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Wow, so you let people just come on down and say hi? I really do. Do you give out the address? Yeah, no, everybody can come by. There's probably, we're on EarthCam right now. Pull up EarthCam, Gas Monkey. We can see how many people are there. Do you get stalked by weirdos because of the TV show?
Starting point is 00:42:50 Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah you know what really freaking sucks in texas this is no bullshit i didn't find this out until we got stuck it is oh it's raining what really sucks um somebody comes on my property and they're weird and i gotta tell them to leave you know or they're aggressive or whatever and i go get the hell off the property. Get out of here. Beat it. For the next 24 hours, I'm responsible for them. If they leave and get run over at the corner or whatever because I made them leave, I forced them from the property, they're my responsibility. What?
Starting point is 00:43:18 It fucking sucks. So if a guy shows up drunk and you say, hey man, you got to get the fuck out of here, and the guy leaves and gets in a car accident. He could say, hey, they made me leave. What? Yeah. So the drunk ones, I'll put them in an Uber, but I'm talking about just the crazy ones.
Starting point is 00:43:34 We've got a homeless problem in Dallas. It's starting to get to be about as big as you guys are having here, and they'll wander on your property, and we're like, hey, you got to beat it. And then if they go down the street and gets hit, I'm responsible. And you're responsible for their medical bills? Can be. What? It's the stupidest freaking law on the planet.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Is that like a hospitality law? I don't know because I don't sell alcohol, but it's because I'm a business and I made them leave. They came to see me and I made them leave. They didn't leave on their own accord. So we have to call the cops to get them to carry those people out that's so weird i went to jay leno's garage and he's telling me that uh you know jay leno's garage is not jay leno's garage it's jay leno's 11 garages oh i know i've been there i've done the show it's freaking crazy i mean i knew that guy was a car nut but i didn't know the magnitude
Starting point is 00:44:23 until you go and you see these 11 warehouse buildings. Just full. Full cars. He's got a real problem. No, he's got a great problem. He's got a great problem. I'm only up to two buildings. I need to start adding buildings.
Starting point is 00:44:35 How many cars do you personally own? It's hard to answer because I own Gas Monkey and so we have inventory. I tell everybody I usually keep between 50 and 60 cars. That are yours. That are sort of for sale. You know, so there's probably. Something comes along. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:51 It goes, man, I need that car. And you're like, of course. But there's about 10 that I won't sell, period. What won't you sell? I won't sell my Thomas Crown Affair Mustang, my Shelby. What is that? What year? 68.
Starting point is 00:45:05 You can probably find a picture of that on the net, but it's a remake of the one they used in Thomas Crown Affair with Pierce Bronson when he's on the island, and it's got all the- I never saw that movie. It's all lifted on BFGoodrich's- I don't think I've ever seen a Pierce Bronson movie. Oh, dude. Thomas Crown Affair is a remake of another Thomas Crown Affair movie, and the Mustang's
Starting point is 00:45:24 just wicked cool. So I had a client, a friend of mine had me build it for him. Good friend. And I wanted the car. Of course, I couldn't afford it then. We didn't even have the TV show yet. And so I built him this perfect rendition, 68 Shelby convertible Mustang, put BF Goodriches on it,
Starting point is 00:45:41 raised it all up high. I mean, it's a perfect California cruiser. And then when I got the show, I call him up and I go, hey, can I borrow the car, buddy? Because I want stuff sitting around the shop that I built. I don't want other people's stuff here. He goes, oh, yeah, man, just send the truck down and pick it up. This is three years later. I send the truck down.
Starting point is 00:46:00 It gets back. The car's got 42 miles on it. It's been sitting there doing nothing in his garage. He's down in New Orleans, so it's got some of that haze and shit from the salt air and the gas is there it is the gas is bad wow that is really hot it looks like you're going four-wheeling in that fucking thing what is going on with the tire on the trunk that's the spare um i know but it's that's an odd placement that's just how it was in the movie. Really?
Starting point is 00:46:25 Yeah. Wow. And, golly, am I fat there or what? Is that you? I don't know. No, that's not the one I built. That's not you, bro. That's another guy's car.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Some fucking asshole. And it's just not quite right. Mine is more absolutely perfect to the movie. That's somebody else's rendition of it. But anyways, I call my buddy. I go, let me borrow the car, et cetera. He gets there with 42 miles on it after three years. It doesn't run.
Starting point is 00:46:50 The gas is bad. Carburetor's all fucked off. And, of course, I call him up and go, you're a really shitty car owner. I said, this thing is freaking badass, and look what you've done to it. Well, he has a considerable amount of money. So the next day, the title shows up in the mail and he goes you're right i'm a shitty car owner it's yours he just gave it to you yeah yeah jesus christ it helps to have uh close friends that have a lot of cash well you must obviously like
Starting point is 00:47:17 you too nah we're real good friends he's a he's a bad motherfucker well i want to see what it actually looks like without the fat guy driving. No disrespect, fat guy. Yeah. I was looking at it because I could see where, you know. If you don't work out at all, how do you stay thin? Because you're a thin guy. I guess it's just metabolism. I do eat right.
Starting point is 00:47:35 I don't eat fast food. But you drink. I don't do sodas. I haven't done sodas or anything like that in two decades. But how often do you drink? Every day. Doesn't that cancel out all the no sodas? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:47:51 I mean, maybe it's because it doesn't have as much sugar. But I think you must have a beer drinker's metabolism. You just know how to do it. Yeah, it takes a lot of practice to get it to this point. Your body's ready. I'm ready for anything. Your body knows what the fuck to do. It's like a marathon runner.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Like, everybody can't run, you know, fucking 15 miles a day, but someone who runs 15 miles a day can do it. Yeah, that's one thing that's just monotonous to me, running. My wife's a runner, and I'm like, that's just silly. Why do you want to get out and go run 20 miles? I don't run 20 miles, but I run hills. I run four. Four is the most I run.
Starting point is 00:48:30 But I run pretty steep hills. There's your car. Is that it? That's the same fat guy right there, Jamie. There's a couple versions of it, and a lot of the websites are pulling both versions. Drop down to the one right below that where your cursor is. That one right there is that's the real
Starting point is 00:48:46 one that one right there yeah that's the real one that's the real one yeah this is a nice car it's so much fun I got a banging stupid sound system in it so you know roll bar the whole deal it'd be a great car to cruise around California what kind of engines you put in that thing
Starting point is 00:49:01 just the typical small block it's a GT 350 so it's got a small block. It's a GT, uh, three 50. So it's got a small block three Oh two. And, uh, what have you? It's a, it's pretty fun time.
Starting point is 00:49:11 It gets a lot of heads. And then we were talking about cars. I wouldn't say I got that. I got a 52 fleet line. That was the first car we ever built as gas monkey garage. What is a fleet line? I don't even know what that is. That's a,
Starting point is 00:49:21 you can type in 52 fleet line gas monkey. Uh, it's, uh, the fastback version of, of a chevy kind of has the slope back some people call it a torpedo back um look at that thing yeah the not that one the picture on the far corner uh yeah that's us and uh it's all patinaed out and kind of you know oh so you kept it like that? Yeah, that was the original body. We chopped it, though, and it's got. Wow, people love that, like the original patinaed out body.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Like Icon does that. They call them derelicts. That's a good picture of the car, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, derelicts. Yeah. I've seen them. And then we got, what else do we have? I got my first Ferrari I ever bought.
Starting point is 00:50:01 I won't sell that as far as the first one I ever bought for me. What is it? 599 GTV 2009. Oh, that's a nice car. Super good car. And, you know, then I had a couple other Ferraris, but I'd probably sell those. But that one, first one, you know, I just probably never will. Just because it's like a benchmark like you?
Starting point is 00:50:21 I'm a big proponent and believer in in forcing yourself you know and so when i bought that to to want more to do more to to give yourself motivation a lot of people just save and save and save and i'm more like okay i'm gonna do something that i probably shouldn't do right now so that i know i gotta work hard to make sure i don't have to give it up i'm with you yeah that's me i talk my friends into that shit i talk my my friend Tony into buying a Corvette when he can't afford it. Yeah. I talk my friend Brendan into buying a GT3 RS. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:49 So it's the same thing. I mean, I bought the car when I probably shouldn't, but the show was going and I was like, this will make me work harder. So, you know, it sits in the corner when I'm doing it. I get up in the morning and I go, I got it. I got to make sure that I can afford that. So let's go do it. Dude, I believe in that wholeheartedly.
Starting point is 00:51:05 And people say you're ridiculous, and I go, yeah, exactly. Well, when I was young, when I first got into printing and advertising, shit, I could barely make rent. I think I was buying my suits at a resale shop, but I would go to Neiman's and look around and think about what I was going to buy, just putting the motivation in my head. I guess there's a big movement now with making your imagination board or whatever.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Those people are assholes. Yeah, my shit just wanted to be real. Just put it in your head. That vision board? Yeah. I get it if you're 20 and you're doing that and you don't know any better. Yeah, my vision board is the old poster of the rock band with the weed in there. That looks like a great vision yeah
Starting point is 00:51:46 that's the real vision board i i yeah i i'm a big believer in doing this is what i say to someone who can buy if you can actually buy a ferrari i'm like listen man if you don't who will if you're an 18 year old kid and you got no money and you you said, man, if I had enough to buy a Ferrari, oh, God, I'd be so happy. I would buy that thing. Well, you should do it if you can. Yeah. If you can, you should do it. And is it too much money?
Starting point is 00:52:12 Yeah, it's definitely too much money. That's part of the whole point of the whole thing. Correct. Yeah. To me, I use it more as motivation. Yes. You know, can I afford this? And if you tell yourself no, you go, well, then I'm going to. Yeah. I'm going to afford it. Yeah. I'm going to figure it out as motivation. Yes. You know, can I afford this? And then if you tell yourself no, you go, well, then I'm going to.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Yeah. I'm going to afford it. Yeah. I'm going to figure it out. Exactly. I feel that way about everything. So do I. That's been my mantra forever.
Starting point is 00:52:33 People are like, oh, you know, you got lucky you did this, you did that. I'm like, I worked my fucking ass off my whole life. Yeah. Well, you definitely got lucky you didn't get hit by a meteor. You got lucky for a lot of things. Well, yeah. You got lucky you didn't get home invaded. You got a lot lucky for a lot of things. Well, yeah. You got lucky you didn't get home invaded. You got a lot of luck.
Starting point is 00:52:46 There's a lot of luck. But I'll tell you, your past guest, Mr. Elon Musk there, he kind of ruined it for us because now we actually have a possibility of getting in a car wreck in space. Yeah, you could get in a car wreck in space because that car is just floating around out there. What if that car slams into a fucking alien spaceship that's coming to save us and elon must just frivolously shot that fucking thing into orbit he did he just shot it up there and they let him with a robot sitting in the front seat you know we were joking around about like what if that
Starting point is 00:53:15 guy in the front seat is actually a guy who fucked his wife and he decided to kill that guy and stick him in a fucking space suit and shoot him into orbit see i don't get that why do you want to be mad at the guy if he does that you got to be mad at your wife i agree i'm with you on i'm with you on that too i'm gonna be i wouldn't be mad if i came home and a dude was banging my wife i would listen bro i get it you though you gotta go you're gonna talk depends on what he looks like too i mean if he's like like Aquaman, to her, I'd tell her I get it. Yeah, sometimes you got to do that. Yeah, I get it.
Starting point is 00:53:49 Yeah. Oh, we're going again? We're going again, bro. This stuff will sneak up on you. I've been getting snuck up on since the 80s. Salute. Perfect. It's so good, though, isn't it? It is good. It's smooth. I like the cinnamon, too. Perfect It's so good though isn't it
Starting point is 00:54:07 It is good It's smooth I like the cinnamon too Yeah yeah yeah And it's It's a party drink For a real Tequila enthusiast though
Starting point is 00:54:15 Is that like sacrilege Is that like an electric Mustang Oh yeah But that's what the monkey Has always done Yeah You know it's like Playing the golf thing
Starting point is 00:54:23 I decided to launch Gas Monkey Golf apparel line. And so I'll be wearing my golf shirt out there, and it's pretty crazy. It's got a skull and all kinds of crap or whatever. But where I'm pushing the envelope as the monkey is our tagline is snapping tees and filling holes. Now, when you bring that to the country club, do people say, sir, that attire is unforgivable here?
Starting point is 00:54:48 Oh, yeah, for sure. I've been thrown out of my own country club plenty of times. Have you really? And I've bought a lot of golf carts because I've crashed them because I thought it was fun. You got thrown out of your own country club? A bunch of times. Really? For what? Just raising too much hell.
Starting point is 00:55:03 It's almost like the old Ronnie Daydream movies. You know, it's like, sir, you can't do that in here. And I was like, ha, well, I'm going to do it twice. Caddyshack. All time. Exactly. Yeah. Now, what do they say to you?
Starting point is 00:55:16 Just, you know, they usually just take me home because, you know, I live on the course, so they'll drive me down there. Oh, so you have a house on the course. I did. you know live on the course so they'll drive me down there oh so you you have a house on the course i did i live downtown in dallas now but uh um the worst one was i decided to drive my harley home on the golf course one night from the grass no i stayed to the cart path i'm not a complete asshole but uh i did drive it home about 1 30 or 2 in the morning and my house is probably the furthest house from the clubhouse and that thing is freaking loud when you're in that you know this trench of a golf course right the cops were waiting on me when i got home but thank god they were running the cops i was like you can't do anything
Starting point is 00:55:56 i'm going inside fake golf course cops yeah yeah you know the community cops community cops that's adorable i had a good one for you i actually got arrested at this country club, well, at my house for, I wouldn't say arrested because they ended up letting me go, but they did come cuff me and put me away. We're coming home from a Christmas extravaganza, which I do with my buddies every year right before Christmas. We get a big car and pile in and we go Christmas shopping for our families and what have you. Coming home loaded, I supposedly threw a burrito from Taco Bell or something and hit the guard.
Starting point is 00:56:35 So there's three or four of my buddies. We get to my house. We pig out on shitty Taco Bell food until everybody passes out, and the next thing I know, the cop lights are on banging on the door get out here i'm i come to the door going hey why you know you know after you've been drinking you do a bunch of food you're fucking gone and uh so long story short they said well you're going to be arrested for assault if you don't go down and say you're sorry to this guy assault with a burrito correct right and by the Listen, if you charge a man with assault because he throws a burrito at you,
Starting point is 00:57:08 you should turn in your card. But we watched the tape. It was not like throwing it at him. It's not like I barreled him with a baseball right here. I like chunked it to him to eat, but he didn't see it coming, and so it like slapped him and fell down. So they cuffed me. They take me down to the guardhouse.
Starting point is 00:57:23 They cuffed you? Yeah, they put me in the back of the car, cuffed me. Fake cops? No, these are real ones. Oh, real cops. Yeah, he filed a report. Oh, God. And so this is how stupid it gets.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Shame. By then, I'm so freaking loaded, right? And I get there, and the burrito's still on the ground like it's evidence or some shit. And they're telling me I got to apologize to this guy, and all I can focus on is, there's a perfectly good fucking burrito right here. I'm going to eat this burrito. So I sit down and literally start eating the burrito. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:57:51 And they're like, please just tell him you're sorry so you can go back home. And I'm like, okay. So I tell him I'm sorry. I'm still eating the burrito, and they just left me there, like a mile from my house at the car check. You walk home a mile drunk.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Do you see the guy since then oh gosh no i was like dude that was perfectly i mean back this was in the days before the sprinters were so popular so it was like a stretch limo which is you know you just really don't ride it anymore and i was like that's a hell of a shot i came out of the back window 120 inches up to the front hit the guy square in the fucking chest i should get a medal for that assault what kind of a man might be a plus in here assault with a burrito is probably the first time we've had that here in your uh little uh podcast room i definitely think it's the first time it seems like you just be able to say hey i just i threw it to you because i was drunk. I thought you were hungry. That's really what it was. I mean, you could hear me on the video going, hey, you want a burrito?
Starting point is 00:58:51 And it was pretty ridiculous. The guy got his man card yanked for sure. Yeah, what someone calls assault. Like, how dare you? Some people get beat into a pulp, and you're calling a Taco Bell burrito flying your way. That thing costs $1.99, dude. into a pulp and you're calling a taco bell burrito flying your way that thing cost a dollar 99 dude and it's barely meat we were going over like how much of like there's a a ruling on how much meat it actually has to be where you can call it a beef burrito but there's fillers in that shit
Starting point is 00:59:22 like what is the filler was like silicone or something like that but it's something ridiculous like 34 of it is not actually meat that's why i mean that was 10 years ago yeah i just don't know 80 for the internet yeah they just they can pretend it's meat well the cool thing taco bell now starting to open all their ones up with uh bars inside there. What? Yeah. Well, that's good for business.
Starting point is 00:59:48 Get people more drunk so they don't care what the food tastes like. Exactly. Get them all tanked up, feed them some burritos, and send them on their way. I haven't eaten Taco Bell in decades. It's been since then. It's wild. There's some real legit, because we're in LA. I mean, you're in Texas, but there's legit Mexican places near you, I'm sure.

Starting point is 01:00:40 It's amazing. If I ever get a chance. There's a place right here on Canoga, like maybe a few miles away from here. How good is that place, Jamie? When I come to California, I'm not trying to get some elk tongue, I promise you. Well, elk tongue's in the freezer, but the cow tongue's what they have out here. Yeah, cow tongue.

Correct. Yeah. Out here, no one knows what the fuck queso is. You say, I want to get some queso and chips. They're like, what the fuck are you talking about? Danny Trejo's does.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. There's a few places. There's some queso, but I like the- There's a few legit Mexican places. I like a real good, legit elotes, you know, with the corn, with all the mayonnaise and the sour cream in there. Yeah. I could get down
Starting point is 01:02:05 on some of that for sure texas is a different fucking country it really is well where i'm at you know in dallas uh literally i can go to the corner gas station and there's a lady there just sawing the the corn off the cob and puts it in the styrofoam cup and squirts all the crap in there and yeah i can make myself sick on that stuff yeah yeah there's tech i wonder what text why text max is so much different because there's no california max right but text max is a legit y'all would never allow that word to be said anyway california max well it doesn't we probably just pissed off 72 000 people that's just a regular podcast i know right he said said California Mex. Try ordering license plate. California is Mexico, asshole.
Starting point is 01:02:48 We stole it. We stole it from the Mexicans. Exactly. Yeah. What do you think about this wall bullshit? Open it up. Let all those poor people in here. Give them jobs.
Starting point is 01:03:01 I don't give a fuck. Tax it, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't want criminals mean i don't want criminals i don't want criminals coming through how about we filter out gang members and criminals just but i wish there was a way to tell there's a way to say there's not i wish there was a way to tell whether someone's a piece of shit a criminal i wish there was and or someone just poor because there's a lot of like for sure both sides are right This is how I look at it.
Starting point is 01:03:26 For sure, the people that don't want criminals coming in here are right. For sure, the people that want border control to keep out gang members and drug dealers and evil people, they're right. A hundred percent. Look, I'm a fucking American taxpayer. I have a family. I fucking salute. Right? I believe in the law
Starting point is 01:03:49 I believe in all those things but also my grandparents are immigrants all of them everybody that is related to me came over from Europe they all came over from Italy and Ireland all of them they all came over because their life sucked they want a better place. If someone
Starting point is 01:04:05 walks here from Guatemala, they don't walk here because they're lazy. They walk here because they want a better life. That's what America's made for. So I say let them in. I say let them in too, but I wish there was a better way to screen out the cunts. If there was a better way to screen out the real shitty human
Starting point is 01:04:21 beings, to stop, that would be ideal. we need a cunt screener a cunt screener is the way to go i'm gonna tag that right doesn't exist right now if any of my people are uh listening make sure you buy that dot com the whole thing that all these fucking government workers aren't getting paid right now because of a wall oh jesus and there's a billionaire you know donald you believe in the wall that much. Take $5 billion out of your fucking account. Shove those shekels towards the wall.
Starting point is 01:04:50 He doesn't have $5 billion. How much does he have, you think? They say he's got three, but it's all paper, I think. Right. It's all just like smoke mirrors. Ones and zeros somewhere. It's like his hair. But you know what?
Starting point is 01:05:05 We elected him, so we got to deal with it. Yeah. And in our case, he was the better choice. He was the better choice. This is why he's the better choice, because you realize that our system is completely hosed, that this guy could get in there and build that wall, lock her up, and everybody's like, check. wall lock her up and everybody's like check it's it's it's a good it's a good example of how our system is the best best system in the world for sure this uh whole experiment and self-government
Starting point is 01:05:36 is the best on the planet earth but without a doubt but this guy it's not his fault that is who he is but But he exploited it. He showed everybody. Oh, yeah. He showed everybody the holes in this fucking goofy system. Well, I know, but he's a reality star. I mean, he could be president one day. You could.
Starting point is 01:05:54 You and me. You could 100%. Let's run. That's the ticket. The Rogan Rawlings ticket. We could win. And I'm not bullshitting. You know we could win.
Starting point is 01:06:01 I could do that. Dude, they did some fucking Vegas odds. And they found out that I have better chances of winning than a lot of people. That would be freaking rad. Yeah, there's like a whole list of people who I had better chances. I want to see you just throwing them out. I got this.
Starting point is 01:06:19 No, I mean, no one's going to, yeah, it's not going to work. The most fun that I'm having right this second is not even in this room. So my manager and my PR person are back there just waiting on me to fuck up on talking about politics. Yeah, see, I don't have one of those. My manager's awesome and my PR person is non-existent.

America. so let's get round three going let's go here we go salute sir salute america america i'm telling you just keeps getting better yeah it does keep getting better it's good whiskey or tequila whatever the fuck it is i forget now yeah to politics that is the one thing that people say you shouldn't talk about but i like isn't that what helps us to talk about it? It's just that people are so fragmented. People fragment out everything you say. And they're like, well, it's like you said something, but then they turn it into this one little sentence going, wait a second. He said these two descriptive averages and this fucking noun and this verb. And look at what he said.
Starting point is 01:07:24 He said we need cunt screening. Yes. You heard heard him i told my people to buy cunt screening.com i don't know what i'm gonna do with it but we're gonna use it well if we could just figure out a way to put microchips in everybody we'll know where everybody is and what everybody did and that way we'll know if you're a cunt you walk past this little thing and he goes beep beep yeah you'll walk by okay he throws burritos but he's a good guy i'm gonna get a half he owns 50 cars uh well a lot of them are for sale you know but uh we keep some pretty cool stuff in there um but i'm a big 32 ford guy so i've got all the 32 fords what is 32 for why does that one? Because that's like to most guys like myself anyways, that's what started the hot rod movement. They were cheap.
Starting point is 01:08:12 They were plentiful. The guys came back from WW2 and they bought a $20 32 Ford and it stubbed a V8 in it and that became the hot rod scene. Right. Because in 47, the 32 Ford was like the old used car that you could get. Yeah, he bought that thing for like 20 bucks, maybe even 10 or 5. Now we're paying 50 for one that needs everything. What was your first car?
Starting point is 01:08:38 My first car was a 73 Mercury Comet. My first car was a 73 Chevelle. Well, that's way cooler than a piss green Mercury Comet. I promise you. Didn't last. I drove it from the guy I bought it from. I got it home, and the next day the engine blew. That's operator error.
Starting point is 01:08:56 No. Let's just see. That's a shit box. It was just a terrible car. I had a straight six-cylinder, so it wasn't fast. It wasn't cool. It was that piss green from the 70s, and it was pea green interior, and
Starting point is 01:09:11 the ladies didn't like it, and it had the squeaks and stuff. I'd be pulling into high school and going over the speed bumps like, and I'm like, shit, this is not cool at all. But by the time I graduated, because I always worked hard, mowed yards, rake leaves, whatever I could do, I was a hustler. So by my senior year, I was driving a 77 Bandit Trans Am.
Starting point is 01:09:36 That was cool. Now the ladies started paying a little bit more attention. That's legit. Those cars are still legit. Those Bandit Trans Ams, that movie just revolutionized transams it revolutionized uh cars in movies when you had burt reynolds on your car on your show rather i have to say that i got sad when i saw him walk out i was like oh man that's burt reynolds yeah he's that broken down you know he was really bad broken down at that point in time.
Starting point is 01:10:07 But towards the end of his life, he came back kind of full circle. He was a whole different kind of person about a year and a half, two years later. How? I don't know. But I don't know if he was just going through a bad spot. But towards the end, he was hip, cool. We did a lot of different things together that you'll see. Really?
Starting point is 01:10:22 You know, and what have you. But the cool thing that not a lot of people know in my office i have the hat the the hat with all the feathers and the and the what have you uh his hat yeah so when i was filming at his house burt comes out he goes hold on a second i'm gonna get you something and he goes in comes back out and goes, I didn't ever know who I was going to give this to. Who is the fucking head? It's not that one. It's the one from Smoking Man 2. But that is 2. Well, fuck it. It's sitting in there, and I've got a picture of him giving it to me.
Starting point is 01:10:59 And I had, like, man tears. I mean, I had, like, my hair was growing on my arms and stuff, you know, standing up. And I'm like, dude, I can't take that. And he goes, oh, you will. And I'm like, okay, I mean, who's going to tell Burt Reynolds no? And so it sits there as kind of a memorial. And he was a super cool guy.
Starting point is 01:11:17 And he was really a car guy. And, but also he, there it is. And he was just- Burt Reynolds giving you his hat. i'm like shit yeah he was a badass man i mean so he didn't have a cane at this point in time so whatever it was that he he must have some surgery or something like that i don't think so i think he was just frail at the time um and he was yeah he was this was four years ago maybe and now, you know, he just passed away. But he came around.
Starting point is 01:11:48 You know, he does the Barrett-Jackson stuff with us. And I've got a friend of mine that owns a company, Restore Muscle Car, that does just Trans Am type stuff. And it was cool. Those Smokey and the Bandit years were when I was in high school. 81, I was a freshman in high school. I was in high school. 81, I was a freshman in high school. I was 84. So I remember watching those movies and saying, like, this guy, he's, like, having fun.
Starting point is 01:12:14 He was smiling. And he was, like, he was silly. That's the secret to Gas Monkey. I'm, like, fucking having a blast. It's not a big fucking deal. And did you, I mean, look at all the other ones that people don't talk about a lot, like Hooper or Stroker Ace. Not to mention Cannonball and all the other ones.
Starting point is 01:12:32 I mean, they were literally a group of guys that kind of took over Hollywood for a small period of time and just had a blast. Just had good times. Yeah. They were like, hey, this might be fun to go film this movie for two weeks across America and fuck shit up. Let's go do it all right cool well he was just silly he was like always smiling and silly and he had jackie gleason was the enemy like come on man when you got jackie
Starting point is 01:12:55 gleason is the evil guy i mean you got a goddamn great movie yeah it's silliness i need a dr pepper yeah and a diablo sandwich and make it fast. I'm in a hurry. I mean, it was just, I mean, Jackie Gleason from The Hustler is a bad guy in a cop movie. Yeah. You son of a bitch. Those are great fucking movies. And Sally Fields is the girlfriend.
Starting point is 01:13:22 I mean, it was just fucking amazing, man. God damn. Yeah, there you go it was just fucking amazing, man. God damn. Yeah, there you go. I love those movies, man. Dude, and getting to shave my goatee off and dress like that and do the show that I did was absolutely second to none. I'm like, this is as cool as it gets. I'm done.
Starting point is 01:13:41 Cool. I can go retire. What did you do with that car? Did you sell it? Yeah, we actually gave it away on discovery. Oh, really? Yeah. So somebody got it.
Starting point is 01:13:48 It's a good car. It's a really nice car. Great looking car, man. God damn. Those old, those Trans Ams from that year that with the firebird on the fucking hood. God. They're so ass heavy though, man. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Dude, you can't. Doesn't matter how good a driver you are that thing is ass heavy it'll come around on you in a heartbeat of course mine i bought uh my dad was actually mad they said my parents told me that i couldn't get it because they said they couldn't afford the insurance and everything and they didn't know i was always hustling and doing stuff and what have you so i just showed up at home one day with it and uh they were like we told you i said i paid cash and i paid for a year's worth of insurance up front uh they were like we told you i said i paid cash and i paid for a year's worth of insurance up front and they were like and my dad's like where the fuck did you get
Starting point is 01:14:29 that money i said dad i've been working because how much money you got so i take him to my room i show him my shoe box and he's like which is that's more than i make what were you doing to make that money oh dude i was uh i was a hustler back then selling car stereos out of my truck you know selling anything anybody would buy raking leaves mowing yards i mean i was kind of a geeky kid at the time and a little bit on the small side so i had a lot of free time i wasn't exactly banging the cheerleaders or anything you know so uh you know i knew i just always kind of was a hustler wanted to make some money. Your dad had to respect that.
Starting point is 01:15:08 Oh, he did. He did. He was actually very impressed. He was like, shit, son. He goes, we don't have that much in our family bank account. Wow. You know? And I was like, well, that, you know.
Starting point is 01:15:18 But my dad is a phenomenal dude. Worked three years. You talk about a good dad. You know, you're a dad. And so am you talk about a good dad you know you're a dad and so am i but a good dad i mean my mom left when i was two ditched my dad with me at two and my sister at six or so and uh you know it was the 70s so you would think that uh my dad would be like i'm gonna smoke this weed and drive away but instead he buckled down, got two jobs, and he worked two jobs pretty much my whole life and provided for us. And we definitely didn't have much, but we had a roof and we had food and I had shoes.
Starting point is 01:15:55 Are you still in contact with your mom? No, not really, man. I hate to say that out loud. But my mom, she lives down in Florida. I'm sure she's uh whatever she is but uh you know she's a little too much for me i have the exact opposite story oh yeah yeah my mom left my dad when i was five and i haven't even spoken a word to my dad when i'm from seven years old on no kidding yeah well i've actually i've kept up with my mom and we talk about every two or
Starting point is 01:16:25 three years and it reminds me of why i don't talk to her anymore so then i'm good well i'm sure if i met my dad it'd be the same thing but i have a stepdad who's a great guy i got real lucky yeah i had a stepmom and it didn't turn out super great but she did teach me a little bit about math and how to run books because she was basically a thief. But so I at least learned from the experience. Only one stepmom, though? That's rare. Until I was out of high school, yeah. Then my dad went on to marry a series of superly freaking just effed up individuals.
Starting point is 01:17:03 I mean, he just started running through them and uh i was like dad did you marry any of them yeah you married two or three of them i think you know and there's something about people that get married like five six seven times i i respect that this is what i respect i respect people that keep fucking swinging you know even though you go down in the fifth you know you get back up and you go down in the sixth, you go down in the seventh. They're just looking for the party. My dad was like that.
Starting point is 01:17:31 He was like, ah, it's a fucking good party, son. Come on out. I'm getting married. He had one wife that one time I get there for family Christmas on either Christmas Eve or whatever. It's like going to the dad's house with the young kids and what have you and we get there and she's all doped up on you know
Starting point is 01:17:49 whatever pills were popular at the time and she's like hey take your shirt off and I'm like yeah before it's over she's crawling around on the floor and trying to take off her clothes and the whole family's sitting there like what the hell
Starting point is 01:18:05 is this dad you know and so now he's uh he's in a uh an alzheimer's home but but uh yeah that's the part about it's scary about turning 50 but he's like in there nailing all these chicks we go in there and he's like making out with some girl with a nasal cannula on and carrying her oxygen bottle. And he's convinced that they've been married for a few years. Dude, I have a bit in my act about the outbreak of STDs in nursing homes. It's out of control because of Viagra. Oh, it's not only just that. These people, I mean, my dad has really advanced Alzheimer's, and he knows that he misses his Mustang.
Starting point is 01:18:50 I took all his bicycles away, and I need to get laid. That's it. I mean, and he's in there just running around. We got called, my sister and I take care of my dad in that manner. And so we get called to the, uh, home almost like being called to the principal's office as a, as a parent. And they're like,
Starting point is 01:19:09 your dad's literally in here fucking everybody. I mean, I literally had the feeling of getting janked in there to the, to the principal's office. Like your kids a fuck up. Your dad's fucking everyone. But you had to be proud. Oh, heck yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:31 I'm like, what does he care? What do you all care? Why do you care? That's my point. That's what I say about him in my acts. Like, come on, man. How do you want these people to die out? Want their heart to stop while they're playing bingo?
Starting point is 01:19:41 Come on. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have a good time. Just don't let them hurt each other well see i'm in the i'm in the health care business also home health care and you are so i know yeah i've got a lot of different ventures but what are you in how are you in the home health care business uh home health care with uh with uh my wife uh we 16 17 years uh maybe longer uh so
Starting point is 01:20:01 in the state of texas it's probably the second or third largest home health care. But I'm talking real home health care. Like, you've got to get shots. You've got to get therapy. These are RNs that are going in. They're not people going to bathe grandma. So what is your business? So you hire a bunch of nurses to take care of people that are at home?
Starting point is 01:20:17 Yeah. It's prescribed through Medicare or insurance or whatever to where maybe somebody gets a knee or a shoulder replacement or maybe it's an injury or cancer or what have you. And so it's a very rewarding business. We probably have 3,000, 2,500, 3,000 patients at any given time all around the state of Texas. That's amazing. And so it's a fun business to be in that you're really getting to help people. But at the same time,
Starting point is 01:20:46 this shit out there is crazy. These guys are getting after it. You go into the nursing home and it's like, damn, dude, this 78-year-old dude has had more ass than I had in the last week. They don't have anything else to do. Nothing. Yeah, why not? Why not? My Yeah, why not? Why not?
Starting point is 01:21:05 My thought is why not? Well, I bought my dad, you know, he's got his room that's kind of like an apartment or whatever. And I bought him stripper sheets. Not stripper sheets, but twister. Twister sheets with all the red and blue and green dots on it. And I hung the board thing up behind his bed. I'm like, Dad, if you're getting after it, you might as well have fun. I mean, fuck bingo or freaking whatever. So because he has Alzheimer's, Dad, if you're getting after it, you might as well have fun. Fuck bingo or freaking whatever.
Starting point is 01:21:26 Because he has Alzheimer's, does he remember when he gets after it? I think it's that he's just so focused on it. What would you call him? A Casanova? My dad got some serious ass my whole life. As a teenager,
Starting point is 01:21:42 I was like, God damn, my dad's banging everything. When your wife leaves you with kids when you're young you just realize okay forget about this long-term shit yeah let's just enjoy the moment yeah but i mean my dad was straight up product of the 60s and 70s you know so he he like would dye his hair blonde and his eyebrows blonde and shit walk around looking like matthew mcconaugughey from Dazed and Confused. All right, all right, all right. Driving his Mustang.
Starting point is 01:22:10 He'd come pick me up from school. What kind of Mustang did he have? Back then it was like a 72 Fastback, red and black with a four-speed, and he'd be hammering it, and I'm like five, six years old. I'd fall on the floor because nobody wore a freaking seatbelt back then. Right. And his idea of after-school care was the skating rink because he knew that thing would be open until nine.
Starting point is 01:22:31 So drop us off. I'm at the skating rink eating a 99-cent corn dog meal, and he'd come pick us up, usually around 10 or 11, with some irate skating rink owner sitting there pissed off. Oh, wow. He was a badass, though. Or he is a badass still. I mean, he's nailing chicks in a freaking nursing home.
Starting point is 01:22:50 Come on. It's so weird when you become an adult, isn't it? Oh, yeah. You know, when you think about, uh-oh, round four. Here we go. We got to drink one for Raymond Rawlings. For sure. Raymond Rawlings.
Starting point is 01:23:02 Raymond Miller Rawlings. Baddest motherfucker that ever lived. Sallings. For sure. Raymond Rawlings. Raymond Miller Rawlings. Baddest motherfucker that ever lived. Salute. For sure. I mean, I guarantee you he got more ass than you and I did this whole week. I believe it. He's freaking probably banging one right now. Yeah. It's like, hey, what's
Starting point is 01:23:20 that noise in the back? Sounds like my son. Is he on TV? Plus, the goal is, or the bonus rather, is that they can't get pregnant. You got that. Yeah, I mean, it's over. Yeah, well, I mean, that's not happening. But you can still get some diseases and stuff. Yes.
Starting point is 01:23:36 And they do. Yes, they do. But the thing is, where are they getting them? Well, somebody had it, and then the next thing you know, all 100 people in that building have done it right but did they have it already or are they getting it from the the building no they had it already they had it already so you're dealing with herpes or you're dealing with like the real weird ones like syphilis and gonorrhea and shit the syphilis and gonorrhea is like hey you got to
Starting point is 01:24:00 treat this where are you getting this oh no it no, it's prevalent. It's everything. Right, but the question is, are they getting it from outside sources? Maybe. Maybe. I mean, who knows? You had that, unfortunately, that just had the baby
Starting point is 01:24:13 that's been invalid for 20-something years. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah. That's a dark story. Somebody knocked her up, and I'm like, holy shit. In 2007, 2011, chlamydia infections amongst Americans, 65 and over, increased by 31% and
Starting point is 01:24:29 syphilis by 52%. Yeah, but the problem with that is 52%. All right, okay. Let's say there's 100 cases and then the next year there's 150, all right? That's 52%. No. That's not that big. Tens of thousands. Hundreds of thousands. Millions of people. Yeah. Millions of people in nursing homes. My dad's probably in there going
Starting point is 01:24:52 come on baby I'm going to buy you some chlamydia. I don't like percent though. I don't like the number percent. Because if there's four people and then the next year there's six that's 50% increase. You know what I'm saying? I don't like numbers like that because you could make oh my god it's an epidemic i want i want i want numbers like human beings yeah well i'm sure it's out
Starting point is 01:25:11 there on the web but like i said my dad's probably thinks chlamydia is a flower he's giving this he's giving this girl i'm gonna get you some chlamydia and we're gonna have a good time yeah there's no condoms in nursing homes, you know? Here we go. We got a worse one. 43,000 reported cases of chlamydia among people 45 and older. Okay, but I'm 45 and older. That's normal. 45 and older, people are walking around, meeting new people.
Starting point is 01:25:36 I wouldn't think that. 43,000 seems like a very low number. Super low. That's what I'm saying. That's why I don't like these percentage numbers. Gonorrhea had... See, from doing this podcast all these years, I understand when people can make things seem greater than they really are. Go back to that, Jamie. Do you have your AARP card?
Starting point is 01:25:53 No, but someone sent one to us, to me and Ari at the comedy store, but I think that was some asshole. 43,000 sounds low. Yeah. Yeah. Primary and secondary syphilis. 5,650 cases were reported in this age group. But that age group,
Starting point is 01:26:09 45, the thing about 45 and older is, 45 year old people in 2019, it's not like 45 year old people in the 60s. Absolutely. These animals are out there fucking hitting the gym and doing squats and flying to Thailand. They're probably getting it from the sweat on the gym bench.
Starting point is 01:26:27 They could get staph for sure. I know a lady who almost died from staph from the gym. She ignored. She had some weird rash on her leg, and no one told her that it was a staph infection, and she went into shock and had fucking seizures from staph. And she's 36, 37? Fuck. She's my wife's 36, 37? Fuck. She's my wife's friend. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:26:48 Dark shit. Yeah, you don't want that. Dark, dark staff from a gym. I don't want it. That's why I don't go to the gym. That's why I tell everybody, no staff. I'm not getting it. You got to go to the gym dressed like a superhero.
Starting point is 01:27:00 You got to wear tights. I'm going to call myself super zero never been here before rash guards and just fucking you're over there spraying all the all the chemicals everywhere yeah like two guns two spray guns in each hand of alcohol everything no i i like the spray gun with alcohol but it's one with tequila and one with something else. Do some fucking chin-ups, one in the mouth. Yeah. I've got staffed twice from jiu-jitsu.
Starting point is 01:27:34 Oh, yeah? Yeah. Ringworm three times, at least. Staffed twice. I had ringworm once. It's rough. Ringworm's okay, but ringworm is basically athlete's foot. Did you know the same thing? Yeah, more or less, yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:44 You know you piss on your feet to make athlete's foot go away yes yeah girls go what because girls can't aim with their piss no they i can i can help them girl well i have this new patented i'm just coming up with this gas monkey funnel remember the fundle thing that that they came up with the sheenal yeah there is a thing that they came up with, the sheenel? Yeah, there is a thing that girls can use. They stuff in their crotch that they can pee standing up. I just think that's probably not very sanitary. Well, urine is not really unsanitary.
Starting point is 01:28:16 It's not really that bad. It's not a dangerous thing. Spoken from a guy who's had a golden shower, maybe. I haven't, but I wouldn't be scared of it. I'm not scared of piss. There you go, Miss Rogan. Don't pee until he gets home. This is the thing about jujitsu.
Starting point is 01:28:33 You're so used to dudes sweating on you. Because you're always sweating. Yeah, I wouldn't like that. There was one time that I was rolling with a friend of mine, and he got on top of me, he mounded me, and he was sweating in my fucking face. Like his chest sweat was dripping in my face and we were laughing
Starting point is 01:28:50 about it. I was like, dude, what the fuck? You're sweating in my mouth, basically. This is starting to get weird. Well, it's just part of learning how to kill people. Deal with the reality of training. We're from Texas. We just use guns. No, that's not true. There's a lot of jiu-jitsu schools
Starting point is 01:29:06 in Texas. I'm looking up stats on the STD thing for older people, and this says, an article I found said only 5% of adults are using Medicare to take the STD test. So, it could be way higher. They're just not getting tested. It's way higher. They're like, suck it up.
Starting point is 01:29:22 I was in Vietnam. Come on, it's just a rash. Yeah, I mean, the thing is, like, suck it up. I was in Vietnam. Yeah. Come on. It's just a rash. Yeah. I mean, the thing is, who's trying to stop these people? Who's trying to stop these people? They're going to die. Let them get after it.
Starting point is 01:29:33 Yeah, why stop them? I'd be going in there and passing out all kinds of lube and toys and just get after it. Yeah, meth. No, I wouldn't do that. Why not? I don't know, man. Why not? Well, then try it.
Starting point is 01:29:43 If you're going to try meth, try it when you're 90. Yeah, that's an easy way out. Well, it's not even a way out. It's just a way forward. Well, no. We gave these ladies in my family weed for the first time when they turned 80. 80 years old. They had never done anything, so we gave them some brownies.
Starting point is 01:30:01 Wow. And we told them, don't eat all the brownies at once. Just eat a little bit. Wait an hour. See how you feel, blah, blah, blah. They're like, well, we're trying it. We don't feel anything. We don't feel anything.
Starting point is 01:30:12 We don't feel anything. Next thing you know, it's like only an hour later, and they've ate the whole pan. Now they think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. They're like, just bring brownies. Yeah. Thanksgiving dinner? Yeah, just bring brownies. Just bring brownies, and they just melt with the universe.
Starting point is 01:30:29 Weed is tricky in Texas, though, right? Yeah, it's not legal yet. It's going to be. In California, though, it's right here. I got that Elon Musk trouble weed. What is that? This is what's called a blunt. It's tobacco on the outside and marijuana on the inside.
Starting point is 01:30:52 A nursery car shit. A dropped Tesla stock 6% in one day. Oh, my manager and PR person out there are just literally shitting their pants right now. But it's legal. Well, it's legal well it's legal here right yeah there you go i believe in the law it's 100 legal here get some of that jammy it is 100 who's the dude that um oh mike tyson just brought you some of his weed is that how it comes this is the box of death and life.
Starting point is 01:31:26 Right here. Wow! This is Mike Tyson's box of death and life. Yeah. Look at the... This is how hard Mike Tyson rolls. Look at the size of these fucking joints he gave me. I know the camera's not gonna be able to follow me,
Starting point is 01:31:37 but I'll be right back, ladies and gentlemen. I got you already. Look at this shit. Look at the fucking size. Oh, that's just insane. That's stupid. That's for you, bro. I can't take that.
Starting point is 01:31:54 I can't take it with me. You gotta smoke it before you get on the plane. How do I get on the plane then? You just think. Think and you'll appear in seat 4C. That's the key. I wouldn't recommend anything more than one more day. That's enough for me.
Starting point is 01:32:11 All right, Jamie will take one more. Yeah, he gave me these joints that would make you think about people you fingered in high school and want to find them on Facebook and apologize. This is just, what is that? That's a goddamn cigar of marijuana. That's outrageous. Mike Tyson has a whole ranch. He has a whole, put in this new one.
Starting point is 01:32:34 He has this Tyson ranch that he's growing marijuana and he's going to have like a resort destination where he's going to have like fitness classes. What is it, like tiptoe through the tulips? Exactly. Tiptoe through the tulips. He's got a place down in Palm Beach. Where was it? Palm Springs.
Starting point is 01:32:56 Palm Springs. Palm Springs. Palm Beach is in Florida. Palm Springs, California, out in the desert. They're developing this enormous property where they're going to grow weed and they're also going to have this huge place where people can go and have this resort. Like a weed amusement park. Yeah, literally.
Starting point is 01:33:11 They're going to have concerts there, like Coachella-type events. What are they calling it? The Kush Fest or some shit? Kind Fest. Kind Fest. Kind Fest in February. They're not fucking around. The people behind it have deep pockets, and they're going hard.
Starting point is 01:33:24 Because what people have seen in Colorado, and people are starting to see in Washington State, and now in California, is there's this enormous amount of money involved in marijuana. Like, crazy, ridiculous, silly profit. If you're doing it, and you're taxing it, and you're doing it responsibly, the way I look at it, it's no different than going to the store to buy a beer. Any asshole can buy too much beer and do something stupid. We've had four shots in an hour on a radio show.
Starting point is 01:33:48 Yeah, but I have a driver. I have a driver. That's good. That's the way to do it. Responsibly. That's right. I mean, owning a tequila company and bars and restaurants, you kind of have to. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:00 It takes the fun out of it because I'm a driver. I'm a car guy. Everything else. Yeah, but be responsible Always be responsible And you know the thing is also If you're a person who likes fun Like why
Starting point is 01:34:14 Are you trying to stop fun Like if someone wants to smoke a little weed Have a little tequila Drink a couple of beers As long as people are being responsible Yeah I don't see a drastic difference between alcohol or marijuana as long as you're obeying the laws,
Starting point is 01:34:29 being responsible, and paying your taxes. Yes, I 100% agree. I also talk about it this way. Imagine if all the people in the world were you, me, and Jamie, and if Jamie had decided that he thought that we were criminals and we're not allowed
Starting point is 01:34:46 to drink alcohol anymore. Jamie's going to install prohibition in our small community. He'll be ridiculous. We'll be like, fuck you, man. Well, that's literally like the government telling you you can't do mushrooms or the government telling you you can't smoke weed. It's just a grown
Starting point is 01:35:02 man telling other grown men they can't based on what it's not based on what we voted on like if people really knew the information involved in like the safety of marijuana does it freak you out yeah of course it does does it make you paranoid yeah 100 but does alcohol make you an asshole fuck yes it does oh yeah but do i think that everybody should have all of it cbs rejects Super Bowl based on the benefits of medical marijuana. Well, in their defense, there's probably a bunch of people who are stockholders, and there's a lot of decisions that are made that are made by lawyers.
Starting point is 01:35:35 I just want, before people get angry about something that CBS decides to do, you have to understand that CBS is responsible for the employment of untold thousands of human beings. They're going to have Bud Light ads right next to this. They will. Or whatever. Yeah, they will. They will. But Bud Light ads are not going to affect anyone's bottom line. I don't agree. I don't agree. But I just want people to understand that part of the problem is that the business aspect of this has not been fully established once it's fully established cbs and all these people are going to realize it isn't any different than bud light it's not any different than anything you can get fucked up on bud light if you just
Starting point is 01:36:14 drink 20 of them you can be fucked up you can walk into trees well you do it on you know cough medicine or whatever all that stuff's out there anything i mean how many pharmaceutical drugs can you get fucked up on and do we deny that some people who have like serious injuries benefit greatly from pain pills no they definitely do the thing about it all all is you got to be honest and let people form their own opinions and part of being honest about about these things is telling them the pros and the cons everything is a pro a con, including old people banging it out in nursing homes. Exactly. I mean, they're getting chlamydia.
Starting point is 01:36:51 That's not good. The pro and the con is my dad's a pro banging old ladies in the nursing home, but the con is he's probably got some stuff on his little wiener down there. Yeah, he's probably passing some biological footballs. But he's not getting pregnant. Yeah, he's not getting pregnant yeah he's not getting pregnant no one's getting pregnant and listen folks people get colds they get the flu all sorts of weird things happen when people corral around other people what are we supposed to
Starting point is 01:37:16 live like john travolta and the boy in the plastic bubble and fucking lock ourselves in hermetically sealed chambers and never touch each other again. Get the fuck out of here. This is true. Just take your penicillin. Walk it off. Well, that's what Napoleon did. Walk it off, Gladys. Gladys, I think you might have given him a thing or two. Just hit the Massengill.
Starting point is 01:37:35 You'll be good. I wonder who's delivering these venereal diseases. That would be fascinating if we found it was primarily women. It was like 78% of women are the original source of the venereal disease Well they pulled the apple down right? I don't believe that happened I think there was a bitch ass man who blamed it on the chick When I heard that Adam and Eve story I was like yeah right
Starting point is 01:38:02 Maybe Adam was a bitch Maybe he blamed it on Eve. He was the guy who could write, so he wrote things down. He's like, Eve ate the apple. I didn't do shit. I listened. I'm a good listener. He probably ate the apple first. He probably gave it to Eve. You know, history's written
Starting point is 01:38:17 by the winners. This is correct. And a lot of women just, they let that shit go. Just like, let them talk. Yeah, write down that I ate the apple. Fuck you. And he's like, fuck you. Yep. Adam and Eve.
Starting point is 01:38:29 I don't see Adam and Eve having that New York accent. Where the hell did he get it? New York wasn't there yet. I feel like Adam and Eve would talk like British people. Because anytime they have a movie where people talk like old timey, whether it's Gladiator or whatever, everyone talks with an English accent. You ever notice that? Like if we have to, right?
Starting point is 01:38:48 If we have to, there's like the suspension of disbelief. Like we don't know Latin. They're talking Latin. Who the fuck knows what that sounded like, right? So when you're watching some old ass movie about people talking Latin, they'll speak English, but they'll speak it with an english accent right they'll only speak proper they always have some weird old-timey way the movie you would never watch the movie otherwise right but you're right but why is that because it's got to make it watchable that's why they ruin stories but does what to english people is that
Starting point is 01:39:21 played out like eleanor's are played out to him? Do you know what I'm saying? To English people, they hear that accent every day. That's a normal accent. But to us, it's like, oh, this is like an old-timey language. English people are like, why is Russell Crowe talking like he's from fucking London? This is bullshit. Yeah, I got a friend of mine, Big Chris, and he likes to say, well, we invented the English language. And I'm like, yeah, and he fucked it up.
Starting point is 01:39:48 Yeah, you guys made it so that people don't understand it. That's stupid. That's not smart. We made it better. We really did. I hate to say that to you folks. My rebuttal to him was, oh, yeah? Well, somebody from your town is still trying to be a rapper.
Starting point is 01:40:01 In their defense, though, they will always say to you, like, yeah, but listen, you guys respect our language more than you respect yours. And it's true. Like, American english is not as respectable as english english because that's why they use those english people to sell like late night mops and shit right oh they do don't they do fucking non-stick frying pans it's always so man with a proper accent look at this i can just fry these eggs and they slide right onto the plate amazing unbelievable and look i'm gonna throw a bag of nickels in there and scratch it up look not a scratch if that was a guy from jersey that was selling you that you'd be like look at this asshole trying to lie to me about his bullshit frying pan right and his fucking shitty mop but something about like
Starting point is 01:40:41 english accents get us for sure they have a better they have a more respectable version of our language but ours sounds better you could say it easier i understand it they understand us we don't always understand them i was literally just on a phone call with a lady in europe before i got in here and i couldn't understand a word she was saying the thing is though here's where i'm wrong here's where I'm wrong. Here's where I'm wrong. They understand each other. They fucking, they'll,
Starting point is 01:41:08 they'll start. I was in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which is, you might as well be in the cantina scene in Star Wars. These motherfuckers, they barely speak English. They speak English for sure.
Starting point is 01:41:24 They understand each other a hundred percent. But to me, I was talking to this guy and he was drunk out of his fucking mind and we were drinking dark beer. Just me and this dude. This is like early 2003. Early UFC. UFC in Dublin, Ireland. I remember this guy saying, I'll fight any man.
Starting point is 01:41:38 He was hammered. I'll fight any man. I'm telling you you're fucking UFSC. I'll show him right now. He says, to him, he was making perfect sense. All I caught was,
Starting point is 01:41:50 I'll fight any man. This motherfucker might have said that a hundred times. We just kept buying drinks. Hammered. With me and some dude from, with Belfast, we understood like, 20% of what each other was saying.
Starting point is 01:42:02 You gotta use the, the, the translate thing on your phone. It wouldn't work. I'd fight anyone. Oh, what is this guy? This guy. This guy's sober.
Starting point is 01:42:24 Pause this. Now imagine being hammered, post-UFC event, They'll be putting all the other places aside to see to you. Again, I'm finished with you. If you come out and fight me, you're done. Now imagine being hammered, post-UFC event, trying to mingle with the locals. We're drinking dark beer and whiskey. There's maybe 30 people around me that are yelling like that. And I'm talking to this dude. So all the people around me who are fucking drunk, no one knew. No one knew what anybody next to him was saying. Everybody's loud and hammered, and this
Starting point is 01:42:48 guy is fucked up, and he's telling me this. How to fight a man. And I'm like, okay. You go fight him. That's so funny. We've pulled up this video before, that exact guy. How to fight a man. I got an old video a long time ago. What is this one? This is really old. You're talking about this guy.
Starting point is 01:43:04 Oh, me telling me about this guy? Yeah. Oh, that's hilarious. Here he is right here. I guess it's a bird. That's like fucking eight years ago or some shit. What is that from? You got two things playing at the same time.
Starting point is 01:43:16 I don't know. That's from an old death squad, I guess. There's two things playing. There's him and then there's something going on in the background. Did you hear it? Oh, it's a local thug. We'll get to that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:23 Damn, I had a beard back then. That's the same guy. That's hilarious. Now, that's like pikey language, right? Yeah, I guess. I mean, it says he's... The first video I pulled up said he was from... I think I typed in Belfast or something.
Starting point is 01:43:34 But here's the thing. Here's where I'm wrong. They fucking understand each other 100%. They understand every word they say. So I'm wrong. I'm just not in that environment. Why don't you hang out and you'll get it it's got a flavor though they have a flavor that we don't have right it's a dark old world flavor hi listen mate that's a fucking dude who just came over on a boat and
Starting point is 01:43:57 he's shooting arrows at people they kept that same language and they're always looking to fight how to fucking fight i'm ready oh i'm sure you get a bunch of that shit i'm a pretty friendly guy so most most of that stuff i don't get the guys that i get are people that want to be like professional fighters okay and they want to just talk about it a little bit and they're always very friendly you'd be amazed like people that aspire to be professional fighters are some of the nicest fucking human beings you're ever going to run across because they've they've figured out their own ego through competition to the point where they're not really they're not they're not worried about like putting out an image they know who they are correct and they're like real friendly like some of the nicest people that i've ever met ever
Starting point is 01:44:43 are professional fighters that's a weird thing for people to hear. But I think that for men, there's something about trial through combat and just, just, just being understanding like what it, what it's like to overcome like unsurmountable obstacles for the average person. Just make some calmer.
Starting point is 01:45:00 There's a different kind of human. They're more chill. They are. My, believe it or not my hairdresser for 15 years been cutting my hair you probably don't have this problem um i used to yeah it was a real struggle he's a he's a bald haired and he's a fighter uh and uh do you trust him i wouldn't choose a bald dude to cut my hair if i had a nice head of hair like you and he's a fighter and he's a fighter.
Starting point is 01:45:26 I'd be like, this dude's a hater. He's going to give me a Z somewhere. He's over there with all his muscles and shit, like, hacking away at my head. And I'm like, this is not really trustworthy at all. Yeah, there was a video out that someone showed me. Was it you? Did you show me, Jamie? I didn't even ask you what it was first. That's how drunk we are.
Starting point is 01:45:44 Someone took a phone. It had a sound like a hair cutter, and they run it by people's heads. Oh, yeah. And they run away, and people freak out on them. Oh, there's nothing wrong with that. They run it up the back of a girl's head. It's a good practical joke. I mean, it'd be way better with a real razor. So mean.
Starting point is 01:46:01 It would be. But that's a big deal for people. Can't be cutting off their hair. See, I've always wanted to shave my head at least once in life. You never have? Nah. You should just get a crew cut. You're a beautiful man.
Starting point is 01:46:11 Oh, thank you. You have a fucking perfect shaved head. You got a nice thick head of hair. Yeah, I know. But now, you know, contracts and crap. They tell you you can't. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Gotta keep the same style, man.
Starting point is 01:46:20 No. Continuity. Really? Which I kind of call continuity because it's like do these people really believe i just did this in an hour or was it over the course of a few days okay i mean well i always tell them like what do y'all think as a as as producers and networks and whatever how how bad do y'all think the american public is i mean how how unintelligent that you have to do a scene where i just walked in your door and sat
Starting point is 01:46:45 down here and put on my headphones and then they flipped to you know me over somewhere else going yeah so i walked in the door and put on my headphones i mean if you it's so insane and it's like it's like the recipe it's like you have to tell them everything you do and then i set up for the shot and i have to walk out the door they're like well the audience won't know where you came from it's my fucking shop i'm here what do you mean I gotta walk through that door they won't have any idea they'll be so confused it's insane and I've tried so hard to change the recipe a little bit I understand you have to do certain things but why do you have to tell the audience what they just saw period yeah they're not stupid if you if make them stupid, you can make them stupid.
Starting point is 01:47:26 You'd never challenge them ever. I think that as a society, we might be on our way to that, what was that show? Idiocracy? Yeah. Because I argue it all the time. I love my show and I love what we do, but I'm like, why do I got to come out of the door, put my headphones on and then go, so I got there and I put my headphones on. It was unbelievable, especially after I came through that door.
Starting point is 01:47:48 It's so fucking stupid. But they've always done it that way. And I think of it the same way I think about CBS and their medical marijuana ads. There's like a bunch of people that are just trying to protect jobs. They're just like, we're going to make it easier, easier for people to know. You can't have anything left to chance. They've got to fill their numbers. Well, they act like it's such a bad thing that they can't show that commercial.
Starting point is 01:48:09 But at the same time, we're selling boxes that say, this will kill you. Yeah, exactly. And people are buying them. Yeah. Why do you think they still break up shows with commercials? Wouldn't it be more effective if they didn't do that? It's just a monetization problem, I'm sure. Wouldn't it be more effective if they didn't do that?
Starting point is 01:48:24 It's just a monetization problem, I'm sure. But I think you could get a little more bang for your buck by having this episode by so-and-so. Yes! A hundred percent. Not only that, I think instead of having two or three ads every five minutes or whatever they make it do, how about you just have a couple of product placements on the show and have them cost more? Exactly. And if you put in the – then you've got to put it into the recipe.
Starting point is 01:48:54 So some guy like us, it's car guys that are watching the show and they're like, holy shit, he just bought that Porsche. And then it goes commercial and it's like, I'm getting a beer and I'm going to sit back down on the couch. And then the next five minutes is me going, so, I went to L.A. and I bought a Porsche. You already saw that part. I just wasted that guy's time exactly exactly and the only reason why you have to do it because you imagine that people are coming in you know from these breaks they're just jumping in the middle of it they might they might be doing that how about make them figure it out correct figure it out bitch well figure out wind it they need to get rid of the Nielsen Whole bullshit
Starting point is 01:49:25 I mean Is that real They're still counting cable boxes But are they even counting cable boxes They're not doing anything They have a Nielsen box right So it's not even like a cable box Exactly
Starting point is 01:49:33 There's only like a few thousand Or whatever And then they decide What the rating is And it's like Are you kidding me Because I'll see my ratings And I'm like
Starting point is 01:49:40 I know it was more than that I own the internet company You know So I own a social media company I'm like Oh we had way was more than that. I own the internet company. So I own a social media company. I'm like, oh, we had way more viewers than that. I wonder how they do really know and whether they just accept the fact that even if they don't know the real numbers, at least they have a reliable percentage that everyone can agree on.
Starting point is 01:49:58 So if everyone agrees on it, they'll set their advertising rates based on that agreement. Yeah, more or less. They'll set their advertising rates based on that agreement. Yeah, more or less. But the real ideology of it is we have the access, because all these devices and everything else, to have the real number. Right. The real, real number. But everyone would have to give it up, right? Like Verizon would have to give it up.
Starting point is 01:50:18 And none of them want to give it to each other and they want to say, I think they just need to remap the program. other and they want to say yeah um i i think they just need to remap the program and so they can really see how many people there are because right now in the industry people think the viewers are way down and i actually tend to disagree i think they're up just the way that we count them are bad it's definitely not good because uh i've never been counted i've never fucking filled out a nielsen thing i've never out a Nielsen thing. I've never used a Nielsen box. I don't know anybody who has. Neither do I.
Starting point is 01:50:53 I met one dude once that said that his brother was like... Can you even find a picture of a Nielsen box? Does it exist? You know that DirecTV has some numbers, right? They must have some numbers. It's all digital. Hell yeah, they got numbers. Down to the... Why wouldn't they know? Even if they're not using
Starting point is 01:51:06 it in some sort of a rating system that affects the ratings of a television show, you would think that they would want to know how effective their product is. If you can measure that, why wouldn't you measure that? And they've just never changed it. They really do need to, though. It'd be way cool if they did.
Starting point is 01:51:21 It would be weird. It'd be weird if you found out what everybody was watching. What if, like, Keeping Up with the Kardashians is, like, a billion people an episode? What if most of the world is going, what the fuck? Yeah, exactly. Actually, the world still looks at him and goes, what the fuck? Yeah. What if most of the world, what if, you know, what do you think is like, the biggest disparity has got to be satellite and cable, right? Because they're not allowed to measure those.
Starting point is 01:51:53 The mobile phone thing, like mobile phones, they say Netflix, like specials, like comedy specials, it's like 40-something percent of people plus watch them on their phones. Yeah. I mean, I've started to watch everything on my iPad and my phone. I don't really watch TV anymore. I watched the UFC on my phone, on ESPN Plus. I was like, wow, this is crazy. I'm watching live fights on my phone with a regular connection, not Wi-Fi. This is a weird time.
Starting point is 01:52:22 Yeah. I remember when we were younger, we spent thousands of dollars for the giant TV in the box. Yeah. It had the projectors. Well, the thing about the phone is it's kind of selfish. It's like personal. If you're watching a movie on your phone, that's just you watching that movie. Yeah, you're not going to get it.
Starting point is 01:52:40 You can't sit next to your wife and watch a movie on your phone. No one's going to deal with that. Even if you're on a plane, that would suck. Exactly. But watching a fight on the phone, it's way less interesting than watching it on the big screen, but you could take it everywhere. So eventually they're going to get that into some large thing, like a hologram or some shit, or augmented reality. It's not going to be too much longer before they're doing all the AI. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:06 Augmented reality, I think, is really what's interesting to me. Well, isn't Netflix doing something with that right now, with that one show they have out where you can pick the different endings? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the Black Mirror show. Yeah. They have a movie. Go back to that article again.
Starting point is 01:53:24 What was it? It's not a new article this is just an example of one i was going to say like that so the tvs are there have been known to they would like screen they watch what's on your screen and send that data back to a database based off of like everything that's currently live on tv the same thing happens with audio streams right and shazam or like there's a couple different companies that do that so they sell your data. Yeah, so then they'll sell that back to advertisers.
Starting point is 01:53:49 Sort of like the same way what's happening with some of these apps. That's how people found out that companies were tracking you. Because there's third-party companies that are selling that data once they have it. Because they don't need it for everything. See, the problem with this kind of shit with people is that that's not what the agreement was. The agreement wasn't that you tell people what I'm watching. The agreement was I buy a TV from you. That was the agreement.
Starting point is 01:54:12 Like when you say, oh, we're going to sell the data from the people that are watching your TV, you're like, okay. Well, yeah, but the data is coming in from your cable. I guarantee it's buried in your cable deal. Yeah, the South Park joke. We get to keep it. Oh, does the South Park have a bid on that? Well, that whole
Starting point is 01:54:26 human centipede thing, the terms of service, like no one's reading it, but you're agreeing to becoming... I haven't seen that episode. ...like a joke becoming a fucking thing.
Starting point is 01:54:33 So how's it go? I'm sorry. Like just agreeing to the terms of service. Like you don't know what you're doing and like the joke on that was that you're agreeing
Starting point is 01:54:39 to become a human centipede. I never saw a human centipede either. I've been to a couple bars I've seen. Yeah, they're going to get us in weird ways, but they're just trying to find out who's watching what. The thing is, should your TV be able to just watch you? Should it just be able to have a line on what you're watching?
Starting point is 01:55:04 Because I know people now that just use Netflix, and they don't have anything. They have an internet connection that's hooked up to their television. Television connects to Netflix automatically. It's like one of the native apps. Yeah, but if you're connected to the internet, you're getting watched, is what most people would say. I'm so paranoid about it.
Starting point is 01:55:20 I have a little piece of duct tape on my camera on my iPad. It's a good move. Yeah. It's a good move. I don't need that on there but the thing is it's like yeah but why are you selling data because this person wants to buy it yeah but why are you allowed to just collect data from people it's pretty much in the contract you sign i guarantee it literally there should be two prices there should be one where you're allowed to collect data you can collect data from me but it costs like 50 bucks more
Starting point is 01:55:50 a year and the other one where you know i you can't collect my data i have to pay a little bit more money that's i that's kind of happening there are like apps you can use that'll track how many how much you're walking in exchange for letting you turn on that. They'll give you stuff. Right. If it's useful to you, I don't know. What are you talking about? Like if you walked by a McDonald's, they can serve you up a McDonald's ad?
Starting point is 01:56:16 For sure. No shit. Yeah. Well, that's the ultimate goal, right? It's to figure out where you are and target you with something. Yeah. Yeah. So my friend adam
Starting point is 01:56:25 green tree was on here and we were talking about he lives in australia and he lives uh he goes he travels like deep into the outback where it takes like three days to drive in and i i said everybody has toyota trucks because those fucking things never break they don't they don't and so he gets ads all of a sudden out of nowhere on his phone every time he goes to a website that says toyota trucks he's like what the fuck he goes i didn't google it those are called cookies well it's it's kind of called cookies but it's not something that came from a search it's something that came from something in his phone is listening we we said the word toyota trucks it registered it and it added it to his queue of his uh google. I got so many messages from people after.
Starting point is 01:57:05 Were they listening? So many messages from people that brought... When we brought this up the other day, I got tons of messages. You guys mentioned... Do they think it's real? Say X and they started getting served ads for that. Like I said, I just said chlamydia. Penicillin ink.
Starting point is 01:57:23 He tried to buy stock. It's like he's got so much chlamydia we're going to sell him all the penicillin ink he tried to buy stock it's like he's got so much chlamydia we're going to sell him all the penicillin but it would be smart not to interrupt my assistant just said just bought stock in chlamydia
Starting point is 01:57:37 we actually own it gas monkey actually owns cuntscreener.com now. That's a border. The border wall is a fucking tough question. It is a tough. A certain amount of people are just going to be mad at you. You fucking cucks. Why don't you go over there and suck all those Mexican dicks? I don't know about that. Some people are going to get there. They're going to get
Starting point is 01:58:01 angry. I might go down and chase some Latino ladies for sure. It uh you know such a hot hot fucking topic but that's that's also you know if you open yourself up to comments well somebody brought one up the other day that was uh you know a general discussion question and it said you know why don't we just do dna the second year born we take your fingerprints we take everything else we you all out. Why don't we just do the DNA? And I get the privacy part of it for later on. But at the same time, you're solving a lot of problems from the very beginning. Okay, this person just came out of here and they've done nothing.
Starting point is 01:58:36 Right. So now if they ever do anything, we know to go shoot them in the back of the head. Well, we certainly could do that, but we would have to place a gigantic priority on getting the very best people in law enforcement. You would have to eliminate all shitheads. You'd have to pay those cops way more and treat them with the respect that they deserve as people that literally are protecting you from violent criminals. I was one, I know. Yeah. I mean, I'm a huge supporter of cops i've i've been around cops most of my life because of martial arts i know a lot of cops and this is a weird issue with people where they they they fuck the police no if you're saying fuck the police you might as well say fuck the humans if someone does something bad
Starting point is 01:59:22 if someone does something bad to someone we don't say fuck all humans if someone does something bad if someone does something bad to someone we don't say fuck all humans if someone murders someone we say fuck that guy and then you start breaking it down to whatever group you're not a part of so it's fuck that x generation guy fuck that lebanese guy or whatever nationality he is fuck that straight guy or if he's gay and he killed somebody fuck that straight guy. Or if he's gay and he killed somebody, fuck that gay guy. But it's just humans. We're all individuals. No matter what it is. No matter what we're talking about.
Starting point is 01:59:54 And as soon as you start breaking everybody down into groups, like, oh, fuck these people. You can't do that with everybody. Then it just becomes a fight. What's that? Then it just becomes a fight. Everybody's bitching. You can't do that. You can't do that.
Starting point is 02:00:07 We're all fucking in this thing together. Correct. Goddamn, we're drunk, right? Probably too drunk. We're not drunk yet. You only had one hit of that weed. That's all I needed. I'm probably gonna be in trouble for that. Did they give you a hard time about that? Who knows? The way I look at it is it's legal in California where I'm at, so it's legal.
Starting point is 02:00:31 Exactly. How many people used to go down to Mexico to watch whatever or do whatever? I'm amazed that people are still bringing in weed from Mexico. That shows me a real lack of American ingenuity. That's outrageous. Well, the Canadians are the ones that are growing the most weed now. Cunscreener.com currently will redirect you to this podcast. Did it really redirect this?
Starting point is 02:01:00 Oh, that is so fucking stupid. The internet is undefeated. I got to give a shout out to my people. They set that up. That's amazing. Your people did that that quickly? Yes. You got some rock solid human beings working for you.
Starting point is 02:01:12 So we're automatically directed to cuntscreener.com. I hope Discovery Channel doesn't get hit with a wave of protests. What channel are you on? Discovery. Yeah, it is Discovery. They have a giant network though, right? How many different channels you on? Discovery. Yeah, it is Discovery. They have a giant network, though, right? Like, they have, like, how many different channels are on the Discovery network? Total channels, I think, is like 80 or 90 or something.
Starting point is 02:01:31 That's crazy. It might be more than that. That's crazy. I mean, they have some channels that I've never even heard of, like, you know, the Brick Wall channel, or I have no idea. It's just insane stuff. They divide it all down. I think there needs to be a little consolidation in the market.
Starting point is 02:01:45 Yeah, well, you know, everybody loves Top Gear, right? Top Gear is probably one of the greatest car shows of all time. I never really watched it. How dare you? I'm telling you. How dare you, Richard Rawlings? But is it dead now? Or is it still out?
Starting point is 02:02:02 Well, what is it, The Grand Tour or something like that. Something like that. On Amazon. Amazon picked it up. I haven't watched a single episode of the new one. But the old one was the shit. And part of it that was fun was that, you know, those guys were kind of nuts. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 02:02:18 Yeah. That's what we do. You know, Gas Monkey. We cut loose. We have fun. Light stuff on fire. Break it. Whatever.
Starting point is 02:02:25 Yeah. And there was some uh violence what's the uh what's his name the head guy uh clarkson was it jeremy jeremy clarkson got into punch some producer right oh trust me i yeah i don't know if that producer deserved it or not i've had to reserve myself quite a few times. People get crazy. You're putting a show together. It's a lot of work. Especially those guys, the producers, the camera guys, the sound guys, the people that are sitting in the discovery offices and all that, they have jobs.
Starting point is 02:02:59 This is my life I'm putting on every single day. And so not only do I have my whole life on it and in it, but then I have to deal with filming it. And I've tried to explain that to them because they don't care to a point if the show does well or bad because there will be another Richard down the road. Right, right. Yeah, there's a lot of high volume approach when it comes to those kind of like cable shows. They just try to bang out as many as they can. High volume, you know? And they have a formula that they try to follow,
Starting point is 02:03:29 and they have a lot of, like, set-up scenarios where people get in trouble for things where they're not really getting in trouble. It's just all set up in advance, you know? It's almost scripted, right? A lot of reality shows. Some of them can be. You just poured the fifth shot. How dare you?
Starting point is 02:03:42 I think it's the fourth. Or is it fifth? I think it's the fourth. Or is it fifth? I think it's the fifth. But I think it's that they – I was telling myself this morning I should cut back on drinking. I tell myself that every morning. But it's so wild because I've known this guy that likes to drink some cold Miller Lights and hang out in the garage. So even on my own bars and restaurants and stuff. And they'll come in.
Starting point is 02:04:08 They're like, I'm buying you a beer. And I'm like, sir, you really don't have to. I own the place. Oh, I'm buying it. I'm like, you really don't have to. They're like, no, I'm buying it. And I'm like, ring him up, Sally. Well, it makes people feel good.
Starting point is 02:04:19 People like buying people shit like that. That's a beautiful thing about booze. People like buying people a drink. Let me buy you a you a drink all right it's like a nice gesture people don't buy people sandwiches right they buy people drinks oh i'm down for a pizza sandwich anything anytime i'm gonna buy you an herbal tea no one's ever said that yeah no well we're in california i'm sure they're saying it right now they probably said would you like matcha or just the regular herbs or what people probably said that just try to like matcha or just the regular herbs or what? People probably said that.
Starting point is 02:04:46 Just try to appear spiritual. I'd like to buy you an herbal tea. Yes. I'd like to purchase you with Bitcoin an herbal tea. I had a girl ask me just the other day. She goes, your aura seems different. Interesting. I'm like, I don't get that, lady, at all.
Starting point is 02:05:07 She goes, well, I see you every year here, Bear Jackson, and your glow is different. Your glow is different. I'm like, well, I'm still using the same Tom Ford Axe body spray thing. People have weird things they say to people to fuck with them. Are you gaining weight? Are you gaining weight, Richard gaining weight richard hmm your aura is different yeah you look so thin are you is your diet okay is your diet okay my diet's great your aura is different i'm trying to figure out what's wrong are you not happy are you not happy

I can't take it any longer. It's a fucking, they're just juking you. Come on. I know you're scared. Exactly.
Starting point is 02:05:55 Yeah. They're tricking you. Tricking you into revealing some shit. Your aura's off, Richard. Something's wrong with your aura. You should probably be able to punch people that say that. We should definitely go, hey, fuck off. Auras aren't real. Bitch, you need wrong with your aura. You should probably be able to punch people that say that. We should definitely go, hey, fuck off. Auras aren't real. Bitch, you need to draw the aura.
Starting point is 02:06:10 Show me what the aura is. You got to have some science behind this. The whole ideology of fuck off is my thing. So the gas muggy ring underneath says fuck off. I'm shaking your hand. How you doing? That's hilarious. You should always be able to say fuck off if you can't say fuck off but you have to be judicious right you have to say fuck off when fuck off is appropriate
Starting point is 02:06:33 but you have to also salute people when they're not full of shit yeah yeah you say you're definitely not the person i'm telling to fuck off you're all right you're a good dude you're right you're all right man you gotta have positive and negative. Like someone who's telling you they're reading your auras. Okay, you might be able to. I mean, I don't know what the fuck you're seeing. I barely know what I'm seeing. I have no idea if what I'm seeing is really even remotely similar to what you're seeing.
Starting point is 02:06:58 I'm just assuming. There you go. It's just a guess. Like some people like weird fucking cars, right? Like some people are really into certain cars. You go, I don't get it. Yeah, like a Pinto hatchback or something. Some people are really into those.
Starting point is 02:07:12 Pintos are popular with some groups. Some people are really into gross looking shit. I don't know what they're seeing. Maybe they're seeing something different than me. Well, it's just probably a combination of their childhood, their upbringing, what have you. something different than me well it's just uh probably a combination of their childhood their upbringing what have you but isn't like is it possible that like personal taste is a lot like sprinting speed like not everybody is going to be carl lewis right not everybody is going to be some who's another fast guy who's sane bolt hussein Bolt is the fastest ever he's supposed to be yeah he's the fastest
Starting point is 02:07:46 ever not everybody can do that so isn't it possible that that would also apply to taste that there's there's people out there that really get what's wrong with your fucking shitty taste yeah and there's other people out there that likes fox-bodied mustangs i'm really in a fox body i think it's the best looking car of all think it's the best-looking car of all time. It's the best ever. I just left Barrett-Jackson, and you see something roll across the stage, and you're just like, blah. Why in the hell did somebody just buy that?
Starting point is 02:08:13 Why are you buying that? I don't get it. And they're over there clapping. They're all happy, ordering drinks for their friends. Look, I just bought an 81 Thunderbird Turbo. I brought a Mustang 5.0 like Vanilla Ice had in this video. We're going in dangerous waters there. My buddy sold one at Barrett
Starting point is 02:08:32 last year. It's the Vanilla Ice car. It's not the worst car in the world, but if you had to compare, what is that like? 87, 88? What was that car? What year was that? The Vanillaas car? 89?
Starting point is 02:08:46 Was it 89? Okay. That 5.0 Mustang? 5.0? Maybe it was 87. He had a drop top down so his locks can flow, didn't he? Something like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:08:57 You know, he grew up just up the street from where I grew up. I met him at a UFC, I believe. I believe he was very nice. There it is. Bam. My friend Kevin Chason had one of those, but he didn't have a convertible. Rolling in my 5.0.
Starting point is 02:09:12 We were like fucking 20 years old. That car, back in the day, was the shit. If you had one of those cars, you were a fucking hero. It was fast. It was fun. It was also like, it was the car to have. It had like 230 horsepower did it really probably 5.0 i wonder it might not have had any more but it was good
Starting point is 02:09:30 because we were all stupid and we didn't know how to drive anyway but those cars were that at that time for whatever reason like what whatever was wrong with people that was a good looking car but if you looked at that car compared like a 69 mach one like get the fuck out of here how did you do this go to a 69 mach one that's the best car ever black 1969 mach one absolutely best car ever it's one of them i mean there's some arguments out there of one of the but it's it's in the fucking race for sure. It's in the top three. Go to black 69 Mach 1. Get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 02:10:08 That's a Restomod piece of shit. Find a real one. It's true. That is a Restomod, but the shape is in order. There you go. That's a Boss 9 car. There's a Mach 1. Oh, look how good that is.
Starting point is 02:10:19 The one down there, the big picture. Oh, is it a 70? Yeah, you've got to have four headlights on the 60. Oh, that's right. it's the missing side lights 71 mach 1 was what um keanu reeves had well that's what it changed right no he had a chevelle didn't he no he had a chevelle after they stole his fucking mustang that's why he went on a killing spree dude they did the ultimatum okay they killed his dog and they stole his Mustang. There you go.
Starting point is 02:10:47 You got to go kill those people. He had to kill some Russians. There you go. I actually did some promo for that show. It was pretty good. That fucking movie. Here's what's, there it is. There's the John Wick Mustang.
Starting point is 02:10:56 There it is. The guy was talking to him in Russian about his Mustang. Fuck, that's a good car. The show was great because the kid was just a total fuck up. Oh, yeah. The father's like, what do I do with this? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:11:08 Do I kill my kid or kill this dude? That's his... And then he came with what I said. We were talking about your Chevelle, your 68 Chevelle. I go between 68, 69 and those 1970s. Sometimes I look at those 70s and I go,
Starting point is 02:11:20 God damn, that's the perfect car. They look a little tougher. It's a madman's car. Look at that one. Woo! I need one. Look at that goddamn thing, that Mach 1, 69. We're going to build one on the show.
Starting point is 02:11:32 Hopefully this year. That's a fucking beautiful car. Yeah, 69 Mach 1 and the Boss 429. I need to get into building some of these movie cars because I've seen some of them up close, and they're shit. Go to Classic Recreations, Boss 429. Go to this.
Starting point is 02:11:50 You need to see this. He made this murdered out 1969 Boss, and it is, look at that thing. How dare you? Now, that's perfect. Woo! That's perfect right there. Jesus Christ. Look at that goddamn car. Yeah, whoever owns that right now, give me a call. I that's perfect. That's perfect right there. Jesus Christ. Look at that
Starting point is 02:12:06 goddamn car. Yeah, whoever owns that right now, give me a call. I might buy that. Holy shit. That's pretty awesome. That's about as America as an eagle killing a terrorist. Exactly. Right? Look at that fucking car,
Starting point is 02:12:24 man. Don't go away from that picture, Jamie. Go back to that picture. Good Lord. That's pretty good. There's not a better looking car. There's just different. Nothing's better looking than that. It doesn't exist.
Starting point is 02:12:39 I don't give a fuck what anybody says. There's nothing better looking than that car. There's just different i agree we've had a few boss 429s through the shop but definitely not a modern one like that there's a rat gang of evil cars from that day but there's not a better looking one dude people just i mean the the manufacturers were just trying to one-up each other i mean it's kind of just the the wild west of automobile and like i'm gonna i'll do you no I'll do you. And I wish, you know, we're sort of in that again right now. Yeah, right now.
Starting point is 02:13:08 You know, Dodge and Chevy and Ford are kind of doing the same thing right now. They are. And it's also elevated everybody's interior game, which is keep that up there. Don't you take that down. God, it's like shutting down porn. What's wrong with you? Everybody's interior game stepped up too because it used to be like the germans the japanese had much higher build quality with the interiors but corvette has had to step up its game considerably
Starting point is 02:13:31 like the new corvette's a very nice interior tony hinchcliffe has one stand-up comedian extraordinary tony hinchcliffe he's got a um grand sport which a lot of people think is the best of the because it's not too overpowered. It's still got the wide body. But I look at the interior. I go, this is a nice interior, man. It's not like it used to be. It used to be the car's fast as fuck. It's got the seats.
Starting point is 02:13:53 And there's nothing in it. Nothing. You have a two-spoke steering wheel that you can actually bend it. Those cars were terrible. I just noticed, are these fake clouds in the air? Yeah. What's the point? What they are is these lights that used to have clear covers.
Starting point is 02:14:09 And instead, we got this thing from Octolights. And they're a company that makes, it's like a photograph of clouds that you could see through. So we put it over the top of the light itself. Did Octomom start that? Octolights. Oh, gotcha. There's only six lights in here, not eight. Well, in the old place we had them, they were stars.
Starting point is 02:14:36 But the new place, the lights, these are LED lights. They're just not as bright. So we had to change it to clouds. I've got the new rolls with the star. Oh, you have that? Yeah, I've got a Wraith. the star oh you have that yeah i've got a wraith um and it's got the shooting star every once in a while really yeah so a lot of people don't know that the the star pattern that they put in the headliner in the car is the exact star
Starting point is 02:14:56 pattern from i guess the original factory or whatever oh wow and uh. And what have you. But unbelievable. You're riding along. You've got stars above you. It's freaking rad. Yeah, my neighbor has one of those. That car is epic. It's nice. He's got the Wraith, the two-door.
Starting point is 02:15:14 He's got the four-door. Nah, I've got the two-door. But you get in it and you go, this car is preposterous. It's so quiet. It's like you're barely connected to the outside world. Correct. There you go. Starlight Wraith.
Starting point is 02:15:32 And those suicide doors. Look at that fucking ceiling man you're barely connected to the world barely you barely pay attention oh i jump in there and uh my uh poodle fifi jumps in i got a standard black poodle this you know a big big girl and she jumps in there and just like rides around looking at people didn't they develop poodles for some specific hunting reason yeah they were hunters yeah like people think of poodles they think of poodles as like uh like a rich person's a beverly hills dog the bel-air poodles yeah like something they were bred as hunters and what as a matter of fact mine uh i call her fifi's her name. And she brought a rabbit in one night. She comes to bed. I'm laying there, and I'm like, what is she messing with?
Starting point is 02:16:11 So I reach down in the dark and pull up this rabbit. I'm like, what the frick? But they soft-mouthed them. It's in their genes. They don't kill them. They bring them to the master as a shine of respect, a show of respect,
Starting point is 02:16:29 plus they don't kill it. So she brought a live rabbit into my bed. Whew. That rabbit must have been having a tough day. Oh, dude, but it went all freaking possum on you. It just laid there. And I carried it out and put it down.
Starting point is 02:16:44 Did it run away eventually? About 10 minutes is what it took it to come out of frozen state. I mean, it just got ate by a poodle and brought into bed with me. It probably feels like as long as it's alive, just go with this. Just go limp and hope you're just a toy. Just hope it happens. Yeah, that's the good thing about it. Phoebe's got her own Instagram.
Starting point is 02:17:02 She's doing well. Oh, nice. Yeah, she's always showing off. Domestic dogs, right? Like, they don't need to eat. They don't need to kill you to eat. So they're only grabbing you. So rabbits are probably like, just keep it together, and he'll just eventually get bored.
Starting point is 02:17:15 Exactly. He doesn't really want to eat you. What is that? It's a poodle. What? It's from 1649. Get the fuck out of here. It's an engraving of the one.
Starting point is 02:17:23 How about in 1649? They already fucked dogs up to that point. Because all dogs come from wolves. That's one of the... There's Phoebe right there. One of the biggest... One of the weirdest stories that came out of genetics is understanding that all dogs came from wolves.
Starting point is 02:17:43 They didn't think that, I think. I'm pretty sure they thought that all dogs were like a they didn't think that i think i'm pretty sure they thought that all dogs were like a combination of a bunch of different things like wild dogs and different things that eventually became like a mastiff or something but now they realize no every single dog from a chihuahua to a great dane comes from a wolf yeah but i mean there's some dogs that what do you do with them? You've got a 150-pound Mastiff that just lays there and slobbers. I had a 140-pound Mastiff.
Starting point is 02:18:11 He lived to be 13 years old. He was awesome. He was a great dog. No, they're great dogs, but they're there. They're huge. They're smart and they're big. I don't mind, especially here in California, you've got to pick up the dog's crap, but I don't want to pick up a crap that's bigger than mine.
Starting point is 02:18:28 In Texas, you find dogs and you just shoot it. No, you got to pick it up. It's everywhere. There's people walking along and that just cracks me up. I'm like, I'm going to follow this giant animal around and pick up its shit. That's the least of your worries. The real problem is it doesn't understand how big it is and it knocks people down stairs and shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 02:18:47 You've got to be real careful. If you have steep stairs and a big dog, you have to really train that motherfucker correctly. You've got to let him know, hey, you can't jump on the four-year-old at the top stair, you fucking dummy. But he's a dog. He just loves you. They love you. You get them, you know, big dogs like my friend Johnny Cash was a dog. He just loves you. They love you. You get them, you know, big dogs. My friend Johnny Cash was my dog.
Starting point is 02:19:08 And my friend Joe sold him to me. And he was a trainer of dogs for movies and shit. Okay. You know the movie The Incredible Hulk? The one with Eric Bana when Nick Nolte plays his dad. And Nick Nolte's the bad guy and he's like a scientist. And he sticks the Hulk serum into these dogs. And he turns these dogs into these big, giant, hulking Mastiffs. Well, the original dog was actually my friend's dog, and he was a trainer of these dogs, and he brought them to Fear Factor.
Starting point is 02:19:37 And on Fear Factor, these dogs were just laying around like super chill. That's the cartoon dog, but there was like a real dog before that his name the dog was he's a regency mastiff and his name was curly so anyway um this guy uh he developed these he raised these dogs and made them to the he bred them to this place where they just had no aggression no aggression to dogs no No aggression to people. This dog was like a hulk. Just a giant mass of muscle. But you can come up to it.
Starting point is 02:20:10 Anybody can come up to him. Pet it. Little kids were petting it. And he was like gently kissing their face. He was the sweetheart of sweethearts. What kind of place are we running here? You only got one more? We got more people out there.
Starting point is 02:20:20 I'm good. But anyway, he's a big dog, but he's a super sweetheart. It's all about breeders. How they breed them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. What kind of dogs do you have? Just Fifi, the poodle. Standard poodle. How much does Fifi weigh?
Starting point is 02:20:37 Probably 60. It's a reasonable shit. You're cleaning up a reasonable handful. I know. Several times a day.'s like if you have like an english mastiff no you gotta you don't have the one bag you've got two bags you got a hunk of shit and then you've got to figure out how to roll this one and roll this one you got a pot roast of shit that comes out of that animal's asshole every few hours it's insane yeah that's. Those poor fellas
Starting point is 02:21:05 and gals don't live very long though unfortunately. That's what's sad. Those really big dogs like eight, nine years they're done. Mine lived to be 13
Starting point is 02:21:13 which is extraordinary. That's pretty old. But he was hurting. I had to put him down. He couldn't walk. I would have to carry him to his food and then carry him
Starting point is 02:21:23 back outside so he could go to the bathroom. It was bad. The trials and tribulations of big dogs. Next on the JRE. You can tune in on cuntscreener.com. That might be one of the greatest things that's ever happened in the history of this show. Is cuntscreener.com trending yet?
Starting point is 02:21:48 For sure. For sure. And people are going to be mad at us. Why did you have to use a derogatory term for a man's vagina? Why can't it be dick screener? These guys are dicks. They're assholes. Dicks and assholes.
Starting point is 02:22:02 And yet you chose cunt. Well, we were thinking about manhole, but it's the same. Yeah, well, Australia has the proper use of the word cunt, and there's too much reverence to that word in America. People get confused about it. In Australia, they just throw that bitch around like it's a beach ball. Oh, yeah, they do. I've had some Australians on my show, yeah.
Starting point is 02:22:23 I'm from Texas. I'm like, holy shit, he's saying that word a lot hey these fucking cunts he's he's a good cunt that's my favorite yeah he's a good cunt he's a good cunt and they mean that like you might as well be replacing the word cunt for dude because it's all about intent to them it's basically saying hey he's a good dude he's a good dude and they're saying he's a good cunt there you go it's not bad i gotta have a set of these not steel those this is a plastic cell they're a company that uh is uh they they make these one-off little dolls and they you touched it you gotta pour it
Starting point is 02:23:00 these are hand painted no kidding yeah this guy's a beast, man. Plasticelle on Instagram. He makes all this stuff. That's pretty rad. No, he's wicked. He made one for my dog. He did John Wick and his dog, too. Oh, he did John Wick and his dog.
Starting point is 02:23:17 That's from John Wick. Dose. Not John Rick Uno. Don't get him twisted. Here we go. Salute. Now you have to couch serve tonight. Maybe it was from John Wick 1. I'm wrong.
Starting point is 02:23:31 It was from John Wick 1 that he had the pit bull. Yeah, it was. Yeah. Yeah, John Wick 2, they killed the Beagle, and then he had the pit bull. Yeah. And they started going and killing Spree. Doesn't he have a three out now? Is there another one?
Starting point is 02:23:43 They're working on it. Yeah. It's coming out soon. Yeah, he's a brie. Doesn't he have a three out now? Is there another one? They're working on it. It's coming out soon. Yeah, he's a cool cat. I ran into him at Deus Ex Machina down in Santa Monica, Venice area, and he was on one of his bikes, and super cool, rad dude. Just, hey, what's
Starting point is 02:23:56 up, man? Keanu Reeves must be one of the nicest, coolest people on the planet, because no one has a bad word to say about that guy, ever. He might be what we should all aspire to be we should all aspire to be keanu reeves or he might have some really crazy secrets no i don't know i bet he's the nicest it seems like everybody runs into him you know like i'm sure there's some people that ran into you where they caught you the wrong way
Starting point is 02:24:19 and it all went sideways for a little bit. Nah, not really. I mean. But no. Fucking Keanu Reeves. He got it going on. But the point, what I was going to get to is one of the things that those movies did was they elevated the profile of those muscle cars. Because people saw that movie and they went, this guy, there's something about him. I know he's murdering people. I know he's the best at murdering people. I know he killed three guys in a bar with a pencil i know that but look how fucking cool he looks he's got he's got the dopest suits he's killing people he's not
Starting point is 02:24:54 killing people in an under armor rash guard okay he's killing people in the dopest suits he's stabbing people in the neck and he's driving a 70 Chevelle SS. But the trick is unlike your aforementioned and loved Eleanor, it wasn't plasticized. It was a real freaking muscle car. It didn't have shit hanging all over it and extra side pipes. You're right. You're right. But you're also wrong. Because Eleanor, look at that. God
Starting point is 02:25:18 damn it. If I'm gonna kill somebody, I'm doing it just like that. God. Come on. It gets out of a... He's got Kragers on it. A Chevelle SS from 1970 with Kragers. It's torque press. American torque press. Look how good he looks.
Starting point is 02:25:34 Well, that Kragers style. That's a classic white wall tire. I mean, come on, man. Or white letter tire. Raised white letters. Come on, that's classic. You know you can get your own now? You can get your name on it?
Starting point is 02:25:48 You can do anything. Like you sell gas monkey tires? There's a thing that sells like these stickers. Why don't you sell gas monkey tires? I should. You fuck yeah you should. You can actually order stickers now that are the rubber letters that fuse themselves into the rubber on your tire. So you end up with a white letter like that.
Starting point is 02:26:03 And you can put anything on there. Wow. Like Joe Rogan or, you you can put anything on there. Wow. Like Joe Rogan or, you know, cuntscreener.com. For sure someone's going to send you and me photos of their car, a 1970 Chevelle, rolling around with cuntscreener.com. Oh, no, the company that does it is going to send us sets for our cars. I don't think they'll let you in the golf course with that shit after the burrito incident. I guarantee you they'll make it on small little golf cart tires, too.
Starting point is 02:26:33 I need a set of tires for a 10-inch wheel. Yeah, I need a smaller font, please. I'm trying to fix this electric golf cart. That's hilarious. Oh, I've got a golf cart I drive in my neighborhood that's insane. It's a Polaris, like four-seater with the little truck bed. And I drive it all around my neighborhood because I've got a nice little neighborhood. I can get to this grocery store.
Starting point is 02:26:55 I get to get something to eat. I get to go to the bar or whatever. And so I race total hell with this thing. I drive through people's yards. I'm a great neighbor because I'm really fun. And if I do accidentally fuck something up up i will definitely pay for it but at the same time they're like okay does it have to have 32 000 speakers on it and a 50 inch television screen white wall tires don't exist what happened to white wall tires but they only exist on classic
Starting point is 02:27:23 cars oh yeah you're not gonna see them or anything new what happened to white wall tires? But they only exist on classic cars. Oh yeah, you're not going to see them on anything new. What happened? The lettered tires are starting to get more popular with brand new ones. The white wall? No. Remember the four or five inch white wall? I'm going to talk to you about a polarizing issue. Yeah. Ready? I'm ready. Raw welt Porsches.
Starting point is 02:27:41 I have no idea what you're talking about. You don't know what I'm talking about? No. Those wide body weird Japanese style Body kits they put on old Porsches Was it like Liberty Walk shit or Giant wide ass bodies R-A I got it
Starting point is 02:27:56 You got it? I don't know anything about this Here it is R-A-U-H-W-E-L-T How the fuck do you not know about this? Because I can't afford collecting Porsches. But no, these are old cars. These are not the most expensive cars in the world. That's an old accordion bumper that's been smoothed out.
Starting point is 02:28:11 And so it's like 78, 79. But you see the bolt-on bumpers, or excuse me, the bolt-on fender flares? I like that. The rear and the front, yeah. Well, there's a gentleman out of Japan, and he does all of these raw welt cars by hand. And go to him. What is the guy's name? So I could give the guy his props.
Starting point is 02:28:32 But that dude right there with the I Love RW t-shirt on, his name is Akira Nakai. And all raw welt cars he does himself. So he'll fly out from Japan. He saws all your fucking fenders off he puts these flares on the front and the rear there's some amazing videos of him because he's a real character he's chain smoking cigarettes the entire time and he's like measuring this shit he does it all by hand he lays the the caulking around the edge by hand the weather ceiling that's the guy right there.
Starting point is 02:29:05 I'm going out on a limb then. I'm going to invite him to come to Texas and do my Wraith. I wonder if he does anything other than Porsches. Well, I've been considering doing a wide body on my Wraith just for the hell of it, and I would let him come do it. If he would be interested in it, that would be an amazing episode. But if you wanted to just do what he does and get a Porsche, that's kind of his style. But he takes these things and makes them fucking cartoonish wide.
Starting point is 02:29:34 I love that. That just cracks me up. You're dealing with like 20-inch tires. That's freaking super cool. They're outstanding. My deal with Gas Monkey, you say okay well i could actually tell you yeah we can do that but i'm like right this guy's known for it bring his ass in let's have some fun yes let's watch his talent i gotta i gotta i got a situation right there that's what
Starting point is 02:29:55 i need rutledge from uh top gear you know rutledge wood uh i know the name he's a nice guy super nice guy he's been on this podcast before he's doing one of those cars and he's doing it with uh an ls swap so instead of using an air-cooled engine we already did it oh you already did that yeah damn it's a good move why is it so prohibitive oh i don't know it's it's a porsche people you know they're crazy the seinfelds of the worlds and god bless you seinfeld they're like oh it's not original. Purists. But we did a 996, like a 2000, 2001 convertible, and did the LS swap. And we finished that in late 2016, and I had a brand new 2017 911 Turbo S in the signal green. And if I didn't mess with the buttons, if I didn't turn off all the stuff, I could not
Starting point is 02:30:46 get away from that car until about 140 miles an hour. Whoa. Couldn't get away. Look at this thing. That's ours. Jesus. No, that's ours. This is it.
Starting point is 02:30:54 Look at that. Good Lord. Oh, we went freaking. Oh, you changed the headlights too. So you 996, you went with a 997 headlight? Yep. Oh my God. That car was so freaking rad.
Starting point is 02:31:04 Oh my God. Yeah. And you went with 911 GT3, the front, where the bumper is, the open vents. Oh my goodness. Car was freaking great.
Starting point is 02:31:13 How dare you? Really teared it up. That's beautiful. Where is it? A friend of mine owns it. I told him, I said, you can buy the car,
Starting point is 02:31:20 but if you ever sell it, you got to ask me first. Dude, fuck him. I know, right? Fuck him for owning that. Fuck Tony. Tony, you suck. You have, but if you ever sell it, you got to ask me first. Dude, fuck him. I know, right? Fuck him for owning that. Fuck Tony. Tony, you suck. You have that car.
Starting point is 02:31:28 The thing about those cars, it's so weird that you're not allowed to do that. But L.A. Look at that. Woo! That was three years ago, man. Oh! Oh my goodness. There's not a...
Starting point is 02:31:41 Again, put that right next to the Mustang Mach 1. It's not better. It's just different. to the mustang mach one it's not better it's just different yeah they're both fucking incredible they both have the same reaction like that car which is a 2001 that was like a zero or a one yeah that car the way it's modified the way it's put together it is so fucking pretty if you had that next to that 69 Mach 1, it's just different tastes. It's a different feel, but that's a fucking amazing car. And maybe in the future, you might look at that one even better when you consider the performance.
Starting point is 02:32:14 That's my other car, a tuner we built down there, the 280Z, the green one. Ooh. Yeah. I always wanted a 240. That's a 280 with 13,000 000 original miles and we went nuts with that and did the whole uh lexus swap uh s 22 j's whatever letter tires oh yeah bringing them back that car was cool nitto tires i sold it to a customer no bullshit uh for a pretty amazing amount of money for a 280z and it was shipped, and the truck burned to the fucking ground.
Starting point is 02:32:49 Yeah. What happened? Who knows? But the whole trailer burned to the ground. Well, you know how there's been these fires out here? No, this is in the Northeast, but still. Do you know about California? California's had some pretty crazy fires.
Starting point is 02:33:01 There's a guy up the street that had a really nice 3 Series BMW. Burnt to the ground. It's still sitting there. I took pictures of it. I put it on my Instagram. You need to tell him to call me. Here's what I think we do because there have been some really amazing cars that have burned with the fires that happened this past year. The panels are still good, though.
Starting point is 02:33:21 Don't worry about the panels. We take them. I need to make you this for in here, this conference table take it and that's that's okay so you take the real special car that burned down you blow everything out you clear coat it so it doesn't stink and what have you we put a glass top on it and you have a conference table called burning up the competition or whatever but i think i think some of those really expensive burned out cars would make really cool conference tables. Yeah, good art projects. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 02:33:51 In your background, you got lucky, bitch. Just having a big plaque. You could have been me. You got lucky, bitch. You weren't in the wrong place at the wrong time. Yeah. I'm a big fan of those E46 M3s. Those 2000-ish.
Starting point is 02:34:05 I do not know my BMWs at all. How dare you? Dude, I'm an American hot rodder. Custom silver E46 M3. See, he was saying so many numbers, I was worried he were baiting me to see if I'd like that. Yeah, those are cool. There was no E46 m3 e46 is like it's a super well balanced 50 50 balanced car from like 2002 3 and many people think it's like the gold standard
Starting point is 02:34:35 for m3s because m3s there's something that happened to m3s and right now i like the fact that an m3 became an m4 like Like, stay right there. Don't move. M3 became a – That's a good-looking car. That's a fucking good-looking car because an M4 is a totally different thing than an M3. It's beautiful and it's amazing. Like, an M4 from BMW is an amazing driver. Like, if you want to drive that car every day, you'll be super pleased. The performance is unprecedented in the M world and most of the car world.
Starting point is 02:35:06 The only things that are faster are like fucking GTRs and Corvettes that are ZR1s or 06s or shit. But it's different because an M3 was really light. It was really light and uncomplicated. There wasn't any traction control. Or if there was, it was minimal. Mostly it was just anti-lock brakes and it was a you know 3 000 pound car and it had 333 horsepower and it's perfectly balanced for the right amount of thrust the right amount of like grip with the tires because they weren't
Starting point is 02:35:37 the widest tires but they were wide enough they had a little bit of fender flare that made them wider than the standard 3 series and it's just a perfect understated looking car when you look at that e46 m3 you look at that car like that's a that's a fucking good neutral zone like they nailed it cool uh if anybody has one of those i'm buying you can reach me at thecastmuggy.com i sell it i sell it i sold it right well what we do is we buy like 10 or 20 of them. Then we sell one at auction for like 15 times what they normally bring, and then we sell the rest of them. But look at that car.
Starting point is 02:36:10 That's pretty damn good. It's a good car. You want... There's a balance to that car. It's not like a Ferrari 488 or some shit like that, where it's so outrageous, everybody gets light. Now, see, you got me me there because i don't like rear engines oh you don't not in the ferrari type stuff because to me you know if you've got a front
Starting point is 02:36:31 engine b12 you're a connoisseur look at that if you've got one behind you oh then you just got a contract of some sort and you might not have that car next week look at that car all right do you own one no i think i need to all right cool i need a e46 m3 in my life look at that that's a it might be it's perfectly understated and yet flashy it's like a balance so what's the value on that right now because i'm serious i don't watch that kind of car they're not crazy they're not crazy because i think people overlook them. They overlook them for more extravagant like E92 M3s, which is like the V8 years. So if you could buy one, what would you pay for one right now? I don't know.
Starting point is 02:37:10 I mean, just a nice California one, no rust. I have brain damage, so I have critical thinking skills. See, I don't know. Off. I'd have to call my buddy Dennis on something like that because I just don't know those kind of cars. There's something about that car that's very appealing because it's a balance issue. It's not like there's something about the Mach 1 that's like, holy shit, you know, like America, fuck yeah.
Starting point is 02:37:33 So here's what we do. We put it out to the people listening. Bring us a nice one owner low mile M3 that hasn't been ragged out. Yeah. E-56. E-46. E-46 M3 that hasn't been ragged out. And I'll-56? E-46. E-46 M3 that hasn't been ragged out, and I'll bid against you, and we'll see who gets it.
Starting point is 02:37:49 I had two M3s in a row, at least two M3s in a row from BMW for the V8 years because it was so good. It was my daily driver. It was so good. After I would get out of it, I was like, this car has everything I like. It's understated, and yet it's wicked.
Starting point is 02:38:05 It's got V8 power, but yet it's not preposterous. Like, the wheels don't break loose every time you hit the gas. It has a double clutch transmission, so it's good in traffic. And it also has a whale, because it's got this high revving V8. And it's so many things that I liked. I got two of them in a row. So they're going to send us one on the old interwebs. Yeah, they will. I got a pretty good reach. row. So they're going to send us one on the old interwebs. Yeah, they will.
Starting point is 02:38:25 They're not going to send us shit. BMW? I got a pretty good reach. I think I can get out there. You can get a hold of BMW? No, I can get a hold of the people that own one in their garage right now that are probably at their golf club. So we'll just bid against each other and see who gets it because I don't know what they're worth.
Starting point is 02:38:41 Well, how about I let you get it and I'll just buy a different one? I'm not stupid, bro. How about we do this Let's buy two of them and race I'm not good at racing Straight line Round lines Curves
Starting point is 02:38:54 See I don't care who gets there first I just like driving Yeah No bullshit No bullshit I heard that from your wife You son of a bitch But for real
Starting point is 02:39:09 I like watching racing But I really don't care if you get there first All I care is about going sideways And correcting And hitting the turn at the proper apex And stomping on the gas And knowing when to brake And knowing when to dig in
Starting point is 02:39:24 If you get ahead of me I don't give a fuck I really don't and stomping on the gas, and knowing when to brake, and knowing when to dig in. If you get ahead of me, I don't give a fuck. I really don't. I'm just trying to have fun, because I'm not a professional racer. Neither am I. If that's all I wanted to do, if I was Danica Patrick, then that's what I'd be into. But I'm not, and I really just like driving cars. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 02:39:41 I'm not a racer at all. So if you and I drove, I would let you win, because I'd like you. Oh, come on. Yeah, and I would let you win because I'd like you. Oh, come on. Yeah, and I'd let you win because I like you. So we're just going to be sitting at the starting line drinking beer. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. 2001 E46 M3. Whoa.
Starting point is 02:40:01 Oh, and it's convertible. I don't want a convertible. Yeah, I think that if you're going to drive a car, then you don't want a convertible. I have one convertible. That is a hard time. I have a 1965. And we'll buy it. We'll have to find that. Hey, let's find one on there, and I'll buy it right now.
Starting point is 02:40:14 We'll call the guy. I know a guy who's selling one of those. Here you go. What do you got one? Is it an 8500? Look at that. Ooh, E46 coupe, six speed, low miles, 13,900. You can't even buy a 69 Mach 1 for anywhere near that.
Starting point is 02:40:31 Not even near that. That's a good car, too. I would love that car. It's got some stereo. He keeps it covered. I'm a fan. I'm a fan. I just think that there's some years that people are sleeping on.
Starting point is 02:40:43 How far is Palos Verdes? Super close. Okay, if he can be here in the next 20 minutes before we get it done or however long. Not that close. It's basically a long beach. It's like an hour and a half. Fuck it. But it's not Kentucky.
Starting point is 02:40:53 A long beach from here is like four hours. Yeah, 3 p.m. it's four hours. Yeah. What side is that? What do they got in Long Beach? There's a lot. Snoop Dogg. The Queen Elizabeth whatever or the Queen Mary. The Queen Mary. Yeah, there's a laugh factory down there in Long Beach. Just the last Snoop Dogg. The Queen Elizabeth whatever, or the Queen Mary.
Starting point is 02:41:06 The Queen Mary, yeah. There's a laugh factory down there in Long Beach. There's a lot of things in Long Beach. See, I've always wanted to try comedy. Really? You want to try it tonight? No. Okay.
Starting point is 02:41:17 I'm not exactly prepared. I can make it happen. I just don't know how. I know that it's a very rigid process and you have to really refine and i've looked at it i've studied it and i'm like i think i could probably you're a funny dude i think you could do it 100 no bullshit you 100 could be a comedian i need to go to comedian school there's no it doesn't exist oh really yeah this is what you got to do you got to make friends with professional comedians who will be honest with you.
Starting point is 02:41:52 One of the beautiful things about comedy is that it's very much a brothership and a sisterhood. For sure, I've seen it. Yeah, there's a brotherhood and a sisterhood that exist with comedies where there's no institutions. Even though it's like one of the favorite things of people, people love to laugh. It's one of the rare things that gives you a very specific reaction. Like if you go to see a movie and it's like a rock movie, like Jumanji or something, it's fun. Sometimes it's funny.
Starting point is 02:42:14 Sometimes it's exciting. But there's a bunch of shit going on. You go to see stand-up. You go to see Kevin Hart do stand-up. You're going there because Kevin Hart is a drug dealer. Okay, that drug is laughter. He's there to hit you with some fucking high level, gigantic arena laughter and you gotta walk
Starting point is 02:42:30 out of there going, holy shit, that was fun. Yeah. Woo! Like he gave you some drugs. Oh, no. I think I might try it one day. You can do it. I'll do like an open mic. Go out there and go, hey, I'm Richard from cuntscreener.com. You can do it there's a lot of places addison improv good spot yeah addison improv is great it's a great spot not only that not only
Starting point is 02:42:54 is that great right next door is the kobe steakhouse yes and you can get all the chop chop and if you get hammered you can go to that piano bar. Is that piano bar still there? Piano bar's still there, but right next to Kobe is the Memphis. It's a lounge, Memphis lounge, and that's always a good time. I've met a few of my wives there. I've worked there many times. That's a fun place to work. I used to love to do that circuit. What I would do is Cap City in Austin, and I would do the improv.
Starting point is 02:43:25 love to do that circuit what i would do is cap city in austin and i would do uh the improv well when did there is an improv in addison but there's another improv too right that i haven't done is that in fort worth i think so i think there's one like 40 minutes away yeah it's like fort worth or something and then there was a laugh stop in houston and that was the run yeah we'll see now if you come back to dallas you need to do Gas Monkey Live. I hold about 2,000-something people. What is it? You have a concert place? Yeah, I've had Motley Crue there. Dude, I graduated
Starting point is 02:43:53 high school in 87. Somebody told me two things. One, you're going to build a car that Hot Wheels is going to make, and two, you're going to have Motley Crue at your bar. I'm like, no way. That's incredible! Yeah! So is this the place that you were building on your show? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have a 2,000 seat place there?
Starting point is 02:44:10 Yeah, I think we're 22. Look at the fucking size of that place. Holy shit. What's really bitching about this is the stage is solid concrete. It's not raised. So the reverb and the sound that we get out of there, even the guys from Crew, when they played, it was a deal with dodge and me and them and ba they were supposed to come in and play like 41 minutes or something and they played for like an hour and a half and
Starting point is 02:44:34 we're like we hadn't played anything like this in decades and the sound is fucking insane wow that is so cool dude you're like an uber businessman You just dip your toes In everything I call myself An entrepreneur Cause I've always Put my hands in the shit Like So yeah
Starting point is 02:44:54 Right across the street What don't I mean you You got a restaurant A bar You're making cars Live music venue That's the live music venue
Starting point is 02:45:02 Yeah We're doing energy drink Gas monkey energy Tequila Killing it We're doing energy drink, Gas Monkey Energy. Tequila. Killing it. We're in every 7-Eleven in the U.S. What?
Starting point is 02:45:09 Really? With the Gas Monkey Energy. Really? It's a better energy drink. It's powered with all kinds of B vitamins and our sugar. We use real honey. It's a better deal all the way around. Wow. You get it from slave bees.
Starting point is 02:45:22 Oh, yeah. Well, I didn't know there was any other kind. Crack the whip on those bees. Get in the box, bee. I had a bit about that, about how you're a vegan. One of the most crazy things about being a vegan is you can't eat honey. Did you know that? Honey's like probably the oldest substance for nutrition in the world.
Starting point is 02:45:40 It's one of them. It's definitely in the top million. But these bees are not like your slaves. You can't just force them to make honey. Yeah, you can. Stick them in the box. They don't care. They don't even know what's going on.
Starting point is 02:45:57 Do you think there's any honey bee trafficking going on? Yes, for sure. And it's awful. It needs to stop. And it's mostly by white people. I was leaving LA the other day and this lady had like 24 eggs and they were scanning them. Well, you never know. Who carries eggs? They make fake eggs.
Starting point is 02:46:14 They do. And you could put drugs in that fake egg. It's not bullshit. Yeah. Yeah. It really is. Look, if you're a drug dealer and you're making millions of dollars off cocaine, an egg of Coke.
Starting point is 02:46:24 Imagine how fucking, how valuable an egg filled with Coke would be. Yeah. Like a rock of Coke that big? Take a guess, Jamie. How about like an ostrich egg filled with Coke? I'm sure you can Google that. Ostrich egg full of Coke. It's a million dollars.
Starting point is 02:46:39 Yeah. I don't know. A good goose egg? I haven't done anything like that since I was a really, really small child. Ostrich egg filled with Coke. Google that. Don't be scared. It probably comes up.
Starting point is 02:46:52 That's the problem with Google. You're sitting there thinking with your buddy or shooting shit, and you're like, oh, I just thought of something really cool. You're Googling. Oh, fuck. It's probably someone getting arrested for having it up their ass. Did you see that CIA spy kit where they had to stick it up their ass? Fugitive ostrich farm fraudster Martin Evans extradited.
Starting point is 02:47:11 Told you. It's there. Does that guy have an ostrich egg up his ass? Is that what you're saying? Johannesburg. He was doing drug dealing with ostriches or something. Oh. How did he get the drugs in the ostrich?
Starting point is 02:47:26 I just didn't catch that. Through his, it would be beak, not nostrils. Well, they have nostrils. They're weird, man. Well, no, I knew a guy, you know, I've done a lot of the world rallies and the Gumball 3000s and the bull runs and all this. So one guy appeared on the scene for a few years,
Starting point is 02:47:42 and it was kind of weird. He was like there, but he wasn't there, and he was kind of not really competing but he had all these expensive cars turns out that that's all he'd been doing for four or five years was shipping these cars from town to town uh on regular shipping uh trucks full of drugs because who's who's gonna search a lamborghini mercy lago right you would just assume he's there for the gumball rally. Yeah. Meanwhile, he's a dope dealer. Exactly.
Starting point is 02:48:10 Now, that guy, I think he's in the jail now. One of the things about cars, right, is that cars, men's baser instincts respond to cars. You know, something about like a Lamborghini. There's something about those cars. Something about a Lamborghini. There's something about those cars. You want to kind of slightly, slightly escape from society's constraints. Oh, yeah, but I'm not
Starting point is 02:48:33 a fan with those cars. I do it with the old cars. I like the old shit. I'm not a big fan of the Murcielagos either. You can't see out of them. They're so weird. So wide and big and crazy. Youagos either. You can't see out of them. Well, they're so weird. So wide and big and crazy. You can't see.
Starting point is 02:48:48 You can't get in and out. I mean, it's so... I'm rich, too. Yeah. Every now and then on Sunset, in front of the comedy store, you see these guys... Horrible. Flying by the comedy store and the cars are like five fucking miles wide. Each car, they fucking miles wide. Each car is, they're super wide.
Starting point is 02:49:07 Yeah, and you always know the asshole that doesn't know what he's doing because he's pushing in the clutch and Yeah, but there's no clutch.
Starting point is 02:49:12 There's no clutch. Well, not anymore. He's putting it in neutral and doing it. It literally doesn't exist. But these guys that drive around
Starting point is 02:49:18 and they're like, you know, look at me. And I'm like, dude, just drive the freaking car. You don't even get the satisfaction
Starting point is 02:49:24 of watching them stall out anymore though. Like someone who doesn't know how to this is true i stalled out my bronco the other day man and i was like this is for everybody around me that was looking at this car that got jealous that's for you feel better about yourself i fucking stalled out i'm a loser ah Ah, fuck. Everybody had to wait an extra three seconds, and they're all like, you fucking loser. Nah. That's a pretty badass Bronco.
Starting point is 02:49:55 It's a badass Bronco. But you ever been to La Cienega Boulevard right when it hit sunset? Uh-huh. That's a steep-ass hill, bro. Yeah, you got to come around. A lot of dudes with manuals stall out on that motherfucker. Yeah, we started the Gumball 3000 there one time. Oh, really? We started on that hill.
Starting point is 02:50:09 You had to clear that light just to go. That's a good move. Dude, they screwed up all the time. That's a good move. Yeah. They should have never mowed down the House of Blues, though. What the hell? Well, they mowed it down.
Starting point is 02:50:20 Here's the thing. I agree with you 100%. But yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not scared round number what is this six um the thing about the house of booze that was badass though when it went away salute my friend yes sir my new friend salute you're gonna teach me comedy 100 help you out um when it was down when when they tore it down, from the comedy store, you could see across, and you see all the beautiful lights.
Starting point is 02:50:48 Like, the lights in the Hollywood Hills, I had a buddy of mine who bought a house off of Doheny, which is, like, way above the hill. You'd go to his backyard, you would look out at the lights, you'd be like, this doesn't even seem real. It's like a Blade Runner. Like, most people see the lights when you're down in them but when you're above hollywood you're looking down it's one of the most spectacular views in all of history it's way better than any new york city view because you have a view
Starting point is 02:51:17 on top look at that that's what you see yep and i'm telling you man this is dog shit compared to my friend larry's house you'd look out there you'd look at that and you'd go holy shit that's incredible it was mesmerizing the image was stunning that's i know a couple people that have houses up there i know dane cook's got a crazy house up there like a lot of guys have houses up there that look down like i've always wanted to meet him he's a rad dude yeah he's at the comedy store all the time. Well, he's, what was that show he did? My Best Friend's Girl or whatever? I think it was a movie.
Starting point is 02:51:49 Yeah, a movie. That is probably one of the better movies out there. It's pretty fucking hilarious. What's your all-time favorite movie? If you had a,
Starting point is 02:51:57 if there was one, one movie. Smokey the Bandit. God damn, that's a good call. Every time. That's a good call. And if i had to get in depth and think about it i might go with stroker ace where the the giant uh thing uh the smoke tower
Starting point is 02:52:11 fell and he goes right under it because these guys were doing their own stunts that shit was real that wasn't cgi i mean they were doing it what was that one movie with the girl her name was domino uh he was a detective movie called domino was it called domino yeah i don't remember was that what it's called or are we talking about with burt reynolds yeah yeah well you know like the was it called domino during cannonball run when they drove the car into the pool oh yeah like the nascar looking thing yeah they did that because they were fucking drunk they were loaded and they were partying and the cameras just happened to be rolling that wasn't planned it wasn't part of the script they did it because they thought it was funny what is it called sharky's machine that's right sharky's machine
Starting point is 02:52:53 god damn what year is that 81 i was 14 years old i remember watching this movie on tv i was like god damn i wish i was burt reynolds And the woman who was like his girlfriend. Oh, my God. She was so hot. Look at her. Leg warmer days. Genetics. Yeah, they had leg warmers back then.
Starting point is 02:53:14 No one had an ass. They didn't even figure out asses. When did they figure out asses? Sir Mix-a-Lot, ladies and gentlemen. White people were in a daze. We didn't even know what an ass was. Sir Mix-a-Lot came along and changed the game he came along with baby got back and we were like wait wait wait oh my god that is better it was like everybody just got smelling salts under their nose yeah and then the kardashians fucked it up for all this everybody woke up they did but they
Starting point is 02:53:40 didn't they'd exploited a hole in the system you. You know, like Jennifer Lopez had strong ass game way before them, but it was a legit Latina ass game. Correct. From years of dancing and fucking running upstairs and shit. Right? Correct. Whatever the fuck she did. Well, also she's like four foot two.
Starting point is 02:53:59 Is she? Yeah, she's pretty short. She's probably five foot one or something. She's pretty short. Pack it all in a small area. You got to get it in. But those movies, man, like Burt Reynolds movies, for whatever, Deliverance doesn't get the respect it deserves.
Starting point is 02:54:14 That is one of the all-time greatest drama movies of all time. I actually have a picture when I was filming with Burt at his house, somewhere in my phone. I'll never find it. But I was in his memorabilia room, which also doubled as his weight room. And just there was stuff everywhere. And I was texting away. I was dealing with a problem.
Starting point is 02:54:36 And somebody snapped a picture of it. And the deliverance canoe is like laying up against the wall. And there's all these different memorabilia things in there. And when I say memorabilia like that, it was like a hoarding room. There was just everything was in there. And it was unbelievable. And it's like the most surreal thing, because I'm hammering away, and there's everything behind you. Look at that, dude.
Starting point is 02:54:59 Yeah, here's the other thing about that movie. By the way, Burt Reynolds, University of Florida, played football, was a fucking stud. Yeah. That movie introduced me to the world of compound bows. I didn't even know what a compound bow was until I saw that movie. I don't know what a compound bow is now. For bow hunting, bro. I don't pro hunt, man. I know.
Starting point is 02:55:18 Burt Reynolds. Bro Reynolds. Bro Reynolds. I was thinking of Bo. Hey, I'm going to need you to buy broreynolds.com. Bo Jackson, I was going to say, is also a big Bo Hunter. But something about that movie, like, who was the guy who was getting fucked? When they were like, squeal like a pig.
Starting point is 02:55:34 What was his name? The actor? Oh, this guy. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Ned Beatty. Thank you. Ned Beatty. God damn, is that guy a good actor.
Starting point is 02:55:42 Holy shit, you were so scared for him. Well, What's-His-Face did it later on in the movie. Who was the other actor that did it in another movie later on? Was it Pulp Fiction or? Bruce Willis? No, he got caught and he's down there. He's like, we're never going to talk about this again, right? What was that?
