Episode Date: December 15, 2020

Richard Rawlings is the star of the Discovery Channel series Fast N' Loud and Garage Rehab. He's also the owner of Gas Monkey Garage and Gas Monkey Bar N' Grill.

the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day virgin abloh kicks these are uh air jordan fives and uh it's like he was saying it's real controversial if you're gonna cut all the stuff out of the different holes. Cut the stuff out of the holes? I don't understand that. There's holes? I don't know. I mean, it's got stuff.

It's got holes with fabric in it, and you can either cut it out or leave it in. Well, why would you cut it out? I don't understand. I guess just to be one of the cool kids. So, Jamie, explain. I'm trying to find the hole cut out so you can see it. Some cool kids. Oh, by the way, salute, my friend.

Cheers, sir. Thanks for having me back. Please. My honor. Thanks for being back. Now that I'm in your home state. Hell yeah. So what do you do?

He didn't cut it out either. Okay, this guy didn't cut it out. You can see it with the yellow socks. That's what you're supposed to cut that little hole out here. You're supposed to. And that little hole, once you get it home, you have to throw an exacto knife. What? You got to bring an exacto have to throw an X-Acto knife. Why would you fucking, what?

You gotta bring an X-Acto knife to fix your shoes? That's crazy. That's the... That's the thing. That's the designer's idea. They're running out of shit. You know what it is?

It's like there's so many different kinds of sneakers that, like, you're running out of new ways to get people. So now you have to get a fucking X- exacto knife. Yeah.

And cut out your circles or leave them or only cut out one. You know, I don't know if there's any kind of hierarchy there that you might reach a point where you're a sneaker God or not, but my buddy James runs this thing called off the cut, a little podcast about sneakers. And so he gets me hooked up on the good ones that are hard to find. Imagine how quick you'd run out of shit to talk about

if you got a podcast just on sneakers. I'd go for a long time. You'd go for a long time. You'd go for a long time. Jamie's a sneakerhead. There's some serious cuss shit. Cuss shit. Cuss shit about sneakers.

Jamie will jump on that mic. Yeah. This guy, James, man, he has like 5,000 or 6,000 pair. What? Yeah. Oh, my God. That is madness. That is madness.

I don't get it. These are Cameron Haynes Underarmors hovers they're great if you want to run mountains hunting these they're good That's right. You were I think we were trying to get me on a little earlier and you were still out hunting Yeah, that was in October. Yeah Yeah, so how you dig in Texas? I fucking love it I wish I'm well yeah so uh how you digging texas i fucking love it i wish i well i don't wish i moved here earlier because i moved here at the right time it was a perfect time to move here but i love it everybody's

moving here whoo you ain't kidding man oracle just moved here elon musk moved here it's it's a mass exodus um adam carolla is moving too. I was watching some interview with him today. It's not just the taxes. L.A. just got a new district attorney who is going to get rid of bail. They're not going to have cash bail anymore. They're not going to arrest people for resisting arrest. They're not going to charge people for resisting arrest. They're not going to charge people for – there's a bunch of things, like loitering, drunken disorderly, things along those lines.

So it's going to get wild. Well, as long as the California people that move here don't bring that kind of stuff. That's the problem. Yeah. That's the problem. This dude is the same dude that apparently was doing the same kind of stupid shit in San Francisco. Well, we've got a mayor in Dallas that just passed. I think it's up to $1,500.

They don't prosecute. So literally, somebody could walk in my merch store there in Dallas and take $1,499 and walk out and they won't even get in trouble. That is so ridiculous. Now, I wouldn't advise them to try it because they might get shot, but they won't get in trouble.

That is so ridiculous, though. That people have the lack of foresight to see how that would become a real problem we're starting to get a lot of uh homeless problems here too in in texas period austin's pretty bad it's the first time i spent the night here in a long time and i was like wow that's a big community of homeless well you've got so many people out of work i mean what are the numbers of people out of work it's it's some insane number it's like 30 30 percent yeah you know something crazy like that when you have something like that you're gonna get a lot more homeless people there's people that were like barely on the edge the question is how do you bring them back how do you get them back into society how do you how do you help them out how do you get

them housing i mean because some of them are drug addicts and mentally ill but some of them are just people that are down on their luck and in this sort of environment like it's not even their fault they didn't even do anything wrong a lot of them no not at all i mean welcome to the shittiest year in history 2020 i don't know about that it's pretty bad though it ain't shit compared to the Black Plague or the Inquisition or World War II. Well, for sure. But in our lifetime, let's put it that way. In our lifetime, it's rough.

It's pretty shitty. It's not good. It's not a good year. No. Not at all. I'm ready for 2021. You think that's going to be better? You going to be lining up for the fucking vaccination?

What are you going to do, bro? You going to wait? I don't know. I think I'm going to hang out. I think I'm going to hang better? You going to be lining up for the fucking vaccination? What are you going to do, bro? You going to wait? I don't know. I think I'm going to hang out. I think I'm going to hang out and see how everybody else does because I'm just not sure. I don't consider myself against the vaccine. I can just consider myself, let's wait and see. Let's hang out.

Yeah. I know a lot of people that have gotten the disease, and I know a couple of them that got it really bad. Real bad. Like one of them, two of them almost died. Wow. Yeah. One of them was an older gentleman, and one of them was a young guy that was just worn the fuck out when he got sick.

And he was beat down already and, you know, not at his healthiest, but he's only in his 40s, and he almost died. Don't tell me that. We're in our 50s. That's what I'm saying, bro. You taking vitamins now? Your wife's got you working out. Oh, yeah.

Oh, man, you getting pumped? No, I like to say that I don't work out. I hope things work out. But, you know, now she's got me going up to the gym and upstairs, and like she said a minute ago, it's like I'm walking the green mile like I'm going to death. I'm like walking up the stairs all sad and slumped over. Dude, you got a trainer. And I'm telling you, if you just stick with it, once you start seeing yourself looking good, you start getting some abs.

What the hell are you talking about, Joe? Look at this. Better than the already pristine condition you find yourself in currently on the outside the inside's all jacked up your liver is probably strong as fuck my liver is strong your liver probably looks like a linebacker so what's happening with your show man what are you doing what's the late oh shit you're just gonna go right for the big one let's get in there man all right first of all i love your show man what are you doing what's the latest oh shit you're just gonna go right for the big one let's get in there man all right first of all i love your show i've been loving it for years it's fun and i'm a giant muscle car fan so it's right up my alley but uh what's the latest well everybody

hold on to your hat out there fast and loud is no more i have exited discovery and uh i'm a free agent what we're gonna be doing some cool things in 2021, and it just was a perfect storm, so to speak. It was time for me to expand and grow a little bit, and I'd kind of gotten to the top of that mountain, being Discovery, and there wasn't anything else for me to do there. Wow. I used this year to kind of rethink and reshape what I want to do in the future. And so, fast and loud, no muss. Jeez Louise. Man, eight years, though.

That's a long run. You know, 300-ish episodes. That's a lot. There's only so many times you can buy a car, fix a car, sell a car. And it was time to make some changes, make it more fun. And so the stuff we've got coming out in 2021 is going to be quite a blast. What are you wearing? Well, you know, I don't want to let the cat out of the bag, so to speak.

You selling the Wonder Woman bracelets? Yeah. Shaking off bullets with those. Ka-ching! Yeah, a lady asked me one time, she goes, don't those bother you when they make noise? I said, they only make noise when I do this. Did you tell that to her? Yeah's a good joke uncomfortable conversation uh she thought

it was funny oh you know it was back in my single right person i'm all married now right person yeah yeah yeah so uh yeah we're gonna i think i'm gonna end up doing a podcast because uh there's not a whole lot going on in my genre in the podcast world i mean i know some guys are doing it and they're doing well but i've never been allowed to before you know so you gotta realize that when i signed my deal with uh disco was almost 10 years ago so social disco yeah so just so discovery didn't did you know social media didn't even exist hardly yeah yeah so i signed off on all media so up to this point until literally- All media including social media?

It wasn't even social media back then. I mean, what was it? Like MySpace or something? Well, I was doing something on another network back in the day, and they wanted to get control of my social media. That was like part of the deal. And they thought it was just like an easy yes. No, it's not.

I was like, you can eat shit. There's no way. You can pay for it. But it was just like an easy yes. No, it's not. I was like, you can eat shit. There's no way. You can pay for it. But it was ridiculous. They wanted to use it to promote other shows on their network. Correct. I'm like, what are you talking about? And they're like, well, everybody else lets us do it.

I go, I have millions of followers. There's no fucking chance you're just going to get access to that for free. Now I had the same conversation several times. It's a weird conversation, right? It's like you know they're being weaseley like you know this is a valuable thing you know hey no big deal richard we just like to use your entire social media to uh promote a lot of other discovery programs no big deal yeah no big deal you're cool with that right okay good sign here well see they try that but uh i couldn't post myself i couldn't do do things of myself for a lot of the time.

Like if I went out and bought a car and my camera crew wasn't with me, and so I took my camera phone and whatever, and I wanted to post about it. I wasn't able to do that. You weren't allowed. No. Yeah, it was pretty rough. But that's ridiculous. But that would just boost up your social media, which would boost up the show.

You would think so. You would think that that would be the thought, that I'm going you know help boost the show walk me through a conversation with one of these knuckleheads i can't well a fake conversation pretend i can't let's pretend it's not discovery channel let me tell you it's uh it's called the hoo-ha network yeah it's let me tell you it's so it's so bad you know the question would be how how was my tenure there you know and how how well was i treated and uh so the answer is um there's a piece of the contract of the contract when i exited oh that you can't talk shit that i can't talk it's up to a 25 000 fine per occurrence of per occurrence of you talking shit me talking shit well can i talk shit you can talk as much

shit as you want i love the discovery channel i would talk shit but i watch their programs i like it i like it too i think this is man the automotive programming could have been a little stronger and we wanted to make some changes but we were just kind of stuck in a rut the problem is they're a business and businesses will get away with whatever they can get away with there's a reason why we had to make regulations to make sure that companies don't dump chemicals into rivers yeah it's because there's certain people that when they can get away with something, they'll get away with something. So anybody that's telling you – but the problem is it's so short-sighted.

Anybody that's telling you that you can't post something on your social media without a camera crew there representing Discovery Channel, it's so silly because it would boost your social media. The more you post, the more interesting shit you post, particularly about muscle cars, right? Correct. The more it boosts your social media, the more you post, the more interesting shit you post, particularly about muscle cars, right? Correct. The more it boosts your social media, the more people are going to watch your show. It's math.

It's like the rising tide lifts all boats. I agree with you 100%, but the powers that be, they were not having it. It took me five years of literally begging to do a crossover with Chit Foose. No. And, of course, that episode did so well that they all think they're uh genius geniuses now but uh you know so i had a good run with discovery i'm ready for the next thing which uh by the way if you're a if you're a producer or a or a network or a streamer out there i'm a free agent and i would have to say i might be a very big free agent whoo uh chip foos designed my 1970 Barracuda, which I sold and then bought back. I have it again.

I've done that a few times. Roadster Shop has it. Oh, right on. I love those guys. I just got my chassis in for a 59 Corvette that I'm building for a guy in Spain. And we've changed it to right-hand drive. Roadster Shop chassis all the way. Why did you go right-hand drive? What are you, crazy are you because he's gonna be over in spain oh yeah so uh um we're gonna

start building that car here pretty quick how hard is that that's got to be a big undertaking let me tell you how easy it is really roadster shop did it on their on their system and made the frame that way so literally i just moved the steering wheel and i'm done wow plugs right in it is so cool that there's companies like them and detroit speed these aftermarket companies that build these like really trick chassis that you can take and stick on like a 70 chevelle and do it up and it'll handle much better you know independent suspension yeah oh it's so nice what's really cool is the second you get the chassis you're going back together you're building your car you know you're not taking it all apart then having to operate on all this other stuff you just yank it off the old chassis and start building

yes so it's a cool time to own a muscle car because you can get a muscle car that actually can handle like a modern car it's not a death trap correct yeah yeah and you know i i remember back when all the chassis modifications really started happening and some of the jobs that i'd see come through were or chancy shaky yeah a little shaky yeah so roaster shop is uh putting a 900 horsepower mercury engine in it and uh changing it to a six speedspeed, putting their chassis on it, and making the whole thing handle correctly. Very cool. I'm really excited that you're not using Gas Monkey Garage to build you a car.

I would love to use Gas Monkey Garage, which is what I want to talk to you about. Yeah, for sure. I want to talk to you about something. I want to talk to you about a 1970 Chevelle. Yeah, that's easy-cheesy. I think I need one in my life. You do? Yeah, like a John Wick car.

The John Wick car, a lot of people think is black with white stripes. Do you know what the actual color is? Blue? No, it's green. Is it? Okay. It's just the movie is shot so weird. It's shot in these exotic sort of like, see, that's what it really looks like.

and these exotic sort of like... See, that's what it really looks like. But most of the scenes, when you see the film, that movie is... I don't know what... Like, there it looks black. Well, no, there it kind of looks green. But now that you know it's green... Yeah, there it looks black.

But it's just because it's kind of like a blue filter on everything. Is that what it is, Jamie? Yeah, there's like a blue or green filter they have. Yeah, to make the movie... Yeah, but would you go that style or would you want different wheels and tire setup and all that well i want different wheels and tire setup because i would want it to handle well so i'd want you know a wider track i'd want you know it to be tubbed and just make sure that it's got like a real solid suspension on it and well you, we could go with a roadster shop chassis, but I think that we get with someone like Craig or, or torque thrust American and have them make the right size with the offset.

We want, so that it kind of has that look old school, but it's bigger meat, you know, 22 and twenties and, and what have you. Roadster shop did a night. See if you find roadster shop,

1970 Chevelle. They did one that is just fucking phenomenal because it's just the right amount of old school and the right amount of new school. There it is. Look at that fucking thing. Get... Come on, son.

Look at the meat on the back wheels. We can do that. Yes. That is no problem. Jamie, why are you laughing? Jamie drives a Tesla. He drives a fucking electric car. I drive one, too.

I have one of those. They're great. Don't you what? Well, I actually hit up Zero Engineering the other day to see if I could get a chassis. Put that back up there. Electric chassis. That's America. It is.

You can't get that in Europe. You can eat shit. You can eat shit, France. You can't build one of those. You don't know how. Spain. What are you going to do? gonna do you build one of those the fuck out of here that's freedom that is look at that goddamn thing look at the back end on that thing with the ss right next to the taillight that's easy just tell me when and where. Come on. Jamie, you don't even give a fuck, do you?

It doesn't even... It, to you, is like sneakers to me. Like, you make fun of the fact I wear Under Armour sneakers. Yeah, yeah. You wear sneakers because you need something on your feet. I need to drive a car because I have to get to work. Exactly. Exactly.

It's the same shit. The kid's got no flavor You know what he needs? He needs like a 68 Mustang in his life You know what I'm saying? I got one, I'll sell him 68 Mustang Would you drive it? You don't even know what they look like, do you?

What about like an 87 Acura Legend? Oh, what are you, a communist? That's my first car Who are you? I want to get it again That might have been one of the worst 87 might have been the worst year for that car. My friend

Guy had an Acura Legend. This was 91, 92, and I think his was fairly new. It might have been the same sort of model. Show me what yours looked like. They were good at the time, but Jamie, the world's moved on. That was a

shit car. It was That was a chick car. That was definitely a girl's car. If you lived in Holland in the 1200s, clogs were all the rage. How many cars back then had moonroofs? Automatic? A lot. Did they? Yeah.

Oh, okay. I didn't think so. What's the difference between a sunroof and a moonroof? I drive it at night. Exactly. Jamie's one of those dudes that sleeps all day. It was automatic, though. Yeah.

Yeah, Jamie. Automatic makes it even worse. Now it's not even a sport car. Everybody else's car that had the same kind of thing. Jamie, that looks like a slop of hunk of shit. There it is. Did you get laid in that car? That's the one. All day.

No way. Yeah. Look at that. Lots of gigs, basketball games. Jamie's got game. He's got Acura Legend's got Acura Legend game. Acura Legend game. I wouldn't go for 87.

Did you get a participant trophy? Participation trophy? It's like, now, I want you to do the, okay. Pull up a 1968 Mustang. Shelby GT350. I got one of those. You're not a fan of Eleanors, though, huh? I'm not a fan of Eleanor.

A lot of people aren't because they're played out. Just played out too many. But it's only in the car world. In the regular world, it's not played out at all. Yeah, people love it. If you roll up in an Eleanor in the regular world, people are like, what is this craziness? Yeah. This is exotic.

Exactly. I'm not a big fan of the Eleanor. That car right there is the one I have. That's pretty goddamn dope. That's pretty goddamn dope. But just give me a regular 68 Mustang because here's what I prefer. I prefer the taillight assembly on a regular 68 Mustang. Just pull up.

Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The taillights. Like the bullet car right there. The taillights right there, lower right-hand corner. No, no, go back to where you were. Go back to where you were. That freaking car.

You're clicking too fast, young Jamie. See, where's the tip? Premature clicking. No, where were you? This is not where you were. I need a, there was a black one. The bullet car right there. That one, the black one.

Click on the black one. There you go. That's what I like. I love that rear deck, the way it lifts in the center. I just think that's one of the most beautiful rear ends of a Mustang ever. I love the 68. I agree. You know, we built the bullet car. We recreated it for the McQueen family, and we shut down San Francisco and went and rec recreated the chase real on fast and loud yeah i didn't see that episode it's a double episode

it's wicked come on how can you not like that that's an eleanor i'm not a fan of that oh shut your mouth shut your mouth communist come on it's just the problem is there's too many of them but it's still that's a chip foos car that's a chip foos design car it's fucking beautiful that's okay jamie but the real eleanor car is the the color that you saw, that's a Chip Foose car. That's a Chip Foose designed car. It's fucking beautiful. That's okay, Jamie, but the real Eleanor car is the color that you saw before. That's from the movie Gone in 60 Seconds. Where did the term Eleanor come from? It was like his nickname.

In the movie, it was like he named all the cars. We're going to get Eleanor. We're going to get Mary. We're going to get so-and-so. So that was the name of that particular car on his list. The movie's terrible, but the car is amazing. A car can make a movie. Angelina Jolie looked pretty good in that movie. She looks good always.

That movie was at her best. Here's a crazy thing. Do you know there's a girl online that they called Zombie Angelina Jolie, and they thought that what was going on was this young lady was having so much plastic surgery that she was ruining her face, but it's not true. She was just using crazy filters and Photoshop,

and she just got sentenced to 10 years. What? She just got sentenced to 10 years in jail in Iran for social media posts. I heard about this. Dude, Iran is a sketchy place to be right now. This is, that's not, see that picture?

Look at her hand. It's just fully photoshopped. She just twists her nose. Now show what the real image of what she actually looks like. She's actually a very pretty young girl. Yeah, but this is all like, when you see that photo just there's a photo of her there's a yeah you just went back to it just go back to where you were see that that's

what she actually looks like she's actually a very pretty girl and she's got mental health problems and so she that image on the right is just she just used photoshop and made herself look like that but she doesn't really look like that. She looks like a pretty young girl. And she's only 20 years old. And she's going to go to jail for 10 fucking years. That's crazy. For social media posts. So if you ever complain about America, I want you to pay attention to what the fuck is going on in the rest of the world.

Because this is going on in Iran right now. They killed an Olympic wrestler recently because he was at a peaceful protest. They executed him. I mean, this guy was a stud wrestler and it was a huge deal the ufc dana white um made a plea to the iranian government asked him to not kill him they executed him anyway and then they just put this young lady in jail that's crazy 10 fucking years corruption of young people and disrespect for the Islamic Republic. I mean, it is crazy. And this girl, she has mental health issues. She's been

hospitalized for them. She's legitimately mentally ill. And they put her in jail for 10 fucking years. It's only going to make her worse. And she got Corona in jail. Jeez. I'm not saying America's perfect, but it's the best thing we have. I wonder what I would have gotten for punishment from Discovery. Not that bad. America's perfect, but it's the best thing we have. I wonder what I would have gotten for punishment from Discovery.

Not that bad. Not that bad. But I know we went on a little tangent there, went down a dark road, but it's something that needs to be discussed because it's just so insane. It is definitely a crazy world, but we still live in the greatest country in the world, so good for us. It's not perfect, but it's the best fucking thing out there kids yeah if we can get rid of california well this is the thing where people in california are

recognizing it california itself is it doesn't exist as everybody thought of it if you think of california a year ago there was a thought that people had of california oh it's free thinking people yeah it's expensive but it's worth it The weather's awesome and the people are cool as fuck and it's really smart and really intelligent. No, the government's ruined it. Literally. It's a case of now we know that if you have poor government,

the government can ruin a state. They can hand the way they handle a bad situation. The way Greg Abbott handled it in Texas is amazing. Yeah. Amazing. He did it perfectly. I mean, they shut down for a little while, but they let businesses stay open. And then they said, listen, we can't do this because we're going to lose businesses.

And so they let these businesses, everyone's struggling because they're still at a limited capacity and social distancing and restaurants. People have to wear masks and stuff like that. But they're open. We're down. We had to shut down, you shut down pretty much across the board. And I don't see recovery for us until spring, maybe, as far as catching back up. Yeah. But if you were in California, you'd be fucked.

Oh, yeah. You'd be really fucked. They're completely locked down again right now, aren't they? Yeah, you can't even go eat outside. There's a 10 p.m. curfew in los angeles that's ridiculous it's insane there's no science behind it either there's no science that shows that if you get people to stay home after 10 p.m that there's less transmission there's no science nothing it's arbitrary decisions that are made by politicians and that's that's the the. The outdoor dining thing is the most egregious. Because you have all these people that spend so much money to try to convert their restaurants

and make these outdoor dining. Spend thousands of dollars they didn't even fucking have. They just wanted to stay open. And then they just get shut down. Did you see the lady the other day that was just crying because she put out the outdoor dining and then they set up production, movie production. Right next door. They're feeding people right next door to where her outdoor dining is shut down yeah i shut down it's insane it was fucking insane i was pretty pissed off at that one because you know we we

shut down a gas monkey barn grill for the winter we're just hanging out see what happens now how long have you had that restaurant it It's been about seven years. That's a challenging business. Well, it's tourism. The tourism, they come through and they want to see Gas Monkey. They want to see the restaurant, et cetera. And it's actually, I'll tell you how shitty it really is. I've got a business partner there that I'll keep my personal thoughts to myself,

but let's just put it this way. Hasn't been all business. And we revoked the license to be Gas Monkey Bar and Grill over two years ago. And he basically told me to pound sand, and he's left the sign up, and he's been Gas Monkey Bar and Grill for the last two years without a license how does that work how it works is i have to go through the courts then you know we did it legitimately and gas monkey bar and grill does not have a license to use our name but we then have to go through the court system we were about halfway through the court system and boom corona so now no courts because we because basically the courts are closed right now.

So what percentage does that person own versus you? He owns the majority percentage because he was the one putting in the money. And he only had Gas Monkey Bar and Grill for a certain amount of time. He only had a license to operate under that name. And from day one, it wasn't good for me at all and uh then when we revoked the license for not obeying all the rules in the contract and doing all the things that you're supposed to do and protect the brand and keep it an upstanding citizen and all that kind of shit uh he just said yeah i don't i don't believe this letter take me to court oh yeah yeah so much fun yeah

it's it's interesting. I've done business with a lot of people over my life, and the two people that got me the best, as far as got over on me, were longtime friends. One of them, our kids grew up together. And this one that I'm particularly talking about was my next-door neighbor for 12 years. Jesus. You drop your guard sometimes to people you like.

That's part of the problem. That is the problem. But you live and you learn. I mean, my life's great. I've had friends that have tried to go to business with me, and I put one hand on each shoulder and go, I like you. Yeah. If I want to continue liking you, we're not going to go to business together. We go into business.

It's like, first of all all i don't have enough time and you the reason why you want me to go into business with you as opposed to like a regular real business person is because it seems like it'll work because we're friends yeah but you generally those don't work like if you want to start like the people that have good ideas for businesses they need to get together with people that actually make businesses correct yeah correct yeah this was just uh you know it was a thing that we tried and uh The people that have good ideas for businesses, they need to get together with people that actually make businesses. Correct. Correct. Yeah, this was just a thing that we tried. And so I guess if I could tell the world's largest podcast,

if you're coming to Dallas and you want to hang out, go to the Gas Monkey Garage, skip the bar and grill experience. It's not worth it. It's confusing for people, but they're like, I love the show. This is where I want to go. I want to go support it. Yeah.

I want to support the show. If you want to support the show, go to Gas Monkey Garage. You guys own, you own the Gas Monkey name, which is great because Fast and Loud is not Gas Monkey.

Correct. But everybody knows Gas Monkey. So you could do a show called Gas Monkey. You could, but generally you don't want the, you know, it'd be like if,

you know, the main star Brad Pitt's in the movie and it's called Brad Pitt. You know, it's, I don't know, you usually name yourself something else Brad Pitt's in the movie and it's called Brad Pitt. You know, it's, I don't know. You usually name yourself something else and what's in the show, you leave it to be its own thing. What kind of nonsense is that?

I do not know, but it's... Gas Monkey. It truly works that way. Yeah, but it worked because you got a great name on top of Gas Monkey, Fast and Loud. That's great too. Yeah. But to have the two of them work symbiotically. That's what we did. But I think Gas Monkey's the way to go for symbiotically. That's what we did.

But I think Gas Monkey's the way to go for the new show. I think that's possible. What else are you going to call it? Got an idea? Don't tell anybody. Well, I don't even. Because we're on the internet. I haven't even said if I'm going to be in the automotive field yet.

What? You're going to be in some other kind of field? What are you going to do? I'm considering doing a genre jump. Fitness? No, it ain't going be fitness power lifting yeah watch richard's weight gain journey it's all about gymnastics no it's uh i'm actually considering jumping to food food yeah i mean you're gonna do a food show i'm thinking about it is this because of your experience with the grill the barn grow it's a little bit of that but it's also I'm into food.

I'm a big chef at home. What kind of shit do you cook? I can cook anything. Really? Yeah. Yeah. I'm a big – you know, you had my buddy Matt Pittman over here the other day. Yeah.

So I bought a bunch of his stuff from Meat Church. Shout out to Meat Church. Shout out to Matt for sure. And so I've been practicing on my Traeger. And, you know, so that thing's a really killer little instrument. It is. I love those things. Yeah.

And so I'm considering just kind of making the jump. It'll still be a little bit of automotive, a little bit of food. Think me, Guy Ferrari, and Anthony Bourdain all rolled up into one. And what are you going to do? Do you have a plan? Freaking roll around this. I think I'm going to roll around this great nation checking out stuff. The juxtaposition with different cities and their cars is pretty interesting.

If you look at, say, Dallas and Houston, the kind of 4x4 trucks that they drive in Houston, somebody in Dallas would probably throw rocks at them and vice versa. It's just two different styles. would probably throw rocks at them and vice versa. It's just two different styles. And then the kind that we're both known for, barbecue and chili, if you will. So, or barbecue and Mexican food. So, but two different ones.

They're close to the border. A little bit different style, a little bit of everything. That's only three hours away. So imagine, you know, getting to tell the story of the town I'm in, why they're into what kind of car or trucks or motorcycles or whatever they're into, and then take a whiff on what their food is like compared to the rest of the world. Hmm. Okay. So it's a little bit of a rodent culture, I call it. Just a little bit of hot rodent, a little bit of like traveling around.

Hanging out, checking out the best tacos and the best uh spaghetti joints and you know whatever so no more buying people's cars no i'll always do that that's the fun but uh you know and maybe we roll a little bit of that in but fast and loud was very very hard it was a hard show to make i mean we were building those cars in 25 30 days it's ridiculous if people knew like the people that don't know how cars are built, they're built over a year. Like a year is great. If you can get someone to build you a car in a year, it's pretty amazing. Yeah.

Well, we were building them in 25 days. That's insane. As a matter of fact, there's one up that I challenged my guys to early spring, and they built a Chevy OBS short bed pickup truck in five. All the way down to the frame all the way back up paint interior motor tranny everything what kind of adderall are you putting these people on good stuff but uh no it was just a quick challenge that we decided to give them and uh they came through they built it in five flat days jesus christ that's crazy and then they take five days off and just sleep uh yeah they were worn out it was pretty cool though uh what does it look like

yeah it's out there if he hits up gas monkey obs build excuse me i need to see this and it was it was just completely functional when it was done completely uh functional truck when i drove it in uh a stock truck with like 30 000 miles on on it and completely functional, doing donuts on Friday afternoon. I took it in at Monday morning at 8 a.m. and I told them I wanted it by Friday at beer time. And by 5 o'clock, I was doing donuts in a parking lot. That's crazy. Yeah. Took it all the way down to the frame.

All the way back up. Paint, interior. That's nuts. Big built motor, big built tranny, rear end, suspension. How long did you plan for it it looks amazing too oh shit how much time did you plan for something like this like you got to have all your ducks in a row if you're going to do something like this right yeah uh what we really did was uh i took stock of everything that was in the uh in the shop and i ordered the couple

parts that we were missing and as soon as I knew I had everything then I took them to the challenge. They didn't know what I was doing I was kind of compiling all the stuff. How beat up was the truck before you brought it in? Super, super nice. Oh, so it wasn't too much ridiculous shit you had to do. Yeah, there you go.

That's what it looked like. Just a super stock sanitary. Stock, regular clean pickup truck. truck pulled in with all the parts and said get it wow yeah as a matter of fact while they were building i came down here to texas speed they're just in san antonio i believe and uh got the motor are you gonna miss doing shit like that i don't think we're gonna stop we still do it we're still doing one right now are you ready for this? Yes.

Oh, God. So you know my green Mustang that I drive all the time with the fog lights and everything from the Thomas Crown Affair. I always said I'd never build one. I'll never build anybody one. I want to be the only guy with one, all that kind of stuff. I got talked into it. You're going to love this one. So it is for none other than the lord himself scott disick

no that guy talked you into making a mustang well you know if you look at it he wanted it he had the money how drunk were you hundreds of millions of followers so yeah you know yeah there's a lot of followers a lot of advertising those people yeah i get people. Yeah. I get it. So I couldn't turn it down. But he seems like a pretty cool car guy. I went to his house and met with him. And he's into a lot of different automobiles and what have you. And so I was like, okay, fine. I'll do it.

A lot of guys are into cars, but they're into new cars. They're into flashy, new, show everybody how much money you got cars. That's stupid to me. Yeah, they don't know what they're looking at if they look at certain muscle cars correct i find that offensive yeah you can you could literally pull up in you know like a shelby gt or whatever and park right next to the lamborghini and there's certain cars that like even a lot of muscle heads don't don't really appreciate or like a 69 torino that could be a cool That could be a cool car.

That could be a cool car. Now, I'll tell you what the meanest front end is, the 72 Ranchero pickup. What? 72 Ranchero. The meanest front end ever. It has got just this aggressive-ass front end. The rest of the car falls on its face. But it is aggressive.

It's interesting, too, because it's a 72. My rule of thumb is after 71, they can all eat shit. Yeah, I would tend to all eat shit. Yeah. I would tend to agree with you. Because in 73, they started having the extra long bumpers because they had to come into... Again, look at that. Look at that front end. Interesting.

That is like... I am fixing to come down the road. It looks like a carp. Listen. Pull up 71 Barracuda. This is a real aggressive front end. Well, everybody knows that car. Not everybody. There's a lot of losers out there.

1971 Barracuda front end, in my opinion, is the most aggressive car front end in the history of muscle cars. Well, that's what makes muscle cars so cool. Everybody's got their opinion. Yeah, look at that. Come on, son. That's freaking sharp. I've had a bunch of 71s. Some other pictures. what makes muscle cars so cool everybody's got their opinion yeah look at that come on son that's freaking sharp that's i've had a bunch of 71s some other pictures i need to see one front on that white uh convertible right there look at that go back that black one you just had there

make that big now that's a good looking car come the fuck on look at that that grill is amazing i saw one guy he took a, put a 71 front end on. I go, I see what you're doing, but don't do it. No, you can't. You can't. You got to have the little gills. You got to have all the stuff. You can't do it.

He did the gills too. But I'm like, but it's not a 71, bro. You got a 70. Yeah, but that white convertible right there that's the Hemi cooter, that car's worth about three? A million. Yeah. Three million. Is it really? Oh, yeah. right there that's the hemi cooter uh that car's worth about three mil yeah three million is it really oh yeah if that's a real car that's a 340 car but there's a white on white uh hemi convertible and they made very few hemi convertibles i just don't understand the people

that are see 3.2 what i tell you I know my numbers God that's crazy And that's not even Corruptible and that drives like shit That's all stock Those are so heavy too man with that hemi motor in there Oh they're so heavy You want to go straight but you don't want to be curving It's all front end

It's like what it's like 65% front end What is the real number In terms of like the weight balance? Oh, hell. It's got to be 60-40 with a giant Hemi. It's probably close. I would say 60-40 would be my guess. That's terrible for handling.

Well, it's like the Boss 9 Mustangs. Same thing. Bill Goldberg's got the Lawman down there in his collection just outside of Austin here. And that car, me and Dennis used to take it when we owned it to, like, Whataburger for breakfast, you know, at the office. And we would literally pop wheelies going down 544. Just, ah! Yeah, they're so bad at handling.

That was another car that John Wick had. John Wick's car, the car that they stole when they killed his dog and sent him on that killing spree. He had a 69. 69 wasn't a Mach 1. Was it a 429? It might have been a Boss 9 Mustang. Yeah. I don't know.

He'd have to look that up, too. 69. This is the coolest gig, by the way, having this guy right here. Because if you just kind of stagger for a minute He's going to feed you the answer real fast I need him in real life There's times in real life where I turn And I'm like, oh, Jamie's not here

Like at the grocery aisle Jamie's like half of my memory now Whatever memory I have Yeah, there it is Well, that's not really his car, though What that is, is that it's classic recreations That's that company out of Oklahoma That does those, yeah, that's the real car I think that's a really his car, though. What that is is that it's Classic Recreations. That's that company out of Oklahoma that does those. Yeah, that's the real car.

I think that's a 429, right? That's a 69 for sure. I think that, I'd have to text my buddy, but I think Classic did my Mustang. Well, they do amazing Mustangs. They do go to Classic Recreations All Carbon Fiber 69 Mustang. I wouldn't be these guys. Yeah, it is. Classic Recreations out of Oklahoma now does an all carbon fiber Mustang,

and it looks fucking insane. It's all carbon fiber. I've got a 65K code that I put a Hilborn injection set up on and a punched out small block and a six-speed hidden in there. It looks like the little three- and it's pretty wicked little car. Black and red. Oh, so you kept like the three speed knob? The little bitty stick too.

You know how small those little sticks are and everything? Why would you do that? Because I just, I wanted a sleeper. I ran. Come on, look at that. That's a 68. Is it a 68? Yeah.

Look at that. That's ridiculous. All carbon fiber. It's probably light as fuck. You can pick that up. Yeah. Look at that. Ooh ridiculous all carbon fiber it's probably light as fuck you can pick that up yeah look at that that's wild you know have you seen some of the stuff that they're getting where they can wait weave that carbon fiber into patterns now that is i mean they can do your logo in it yes yeah they could that's amazing yeah that that's such a light car so all the the problems

that people had with like heavy sheet metal in terms of the weight balance and everything, you can all get rid of all that. Oh, you can lose all of it. Do you fuck around with any of the newer muscle cars? You can't even call the new Corvette a muscle car anymore now. Now it's a mid-engine supercar. I would tend to say it's a supercar. I mean, it's basically a 488 ferrari

is what it is and it's the fucking acceleration is so insane for for like the money and for the handling oh for 100 grand it's the best car you can buy you can get them under 100 i mean you you can get a brand new 2020 corvette for what what is a retail i I gotta say it's like 70-something. By the time you add all the stuff, you're gonna be approaching 90. That's a Z06, Jamie. That's 2019. That's a front-engine car. That's a different car. No, don't go Z06.

Just go 2020 Corvette price. I think it's a little bit less. Look at that. 66. Yeah, that's what's crazy. It's faster than the z06 but it does have big power like it has 490 horsepower and for what you're getting with that mid-engine setup the fucking acceleration zero to 62.8 seconds but that's crazy a corvette i mean you got to wear

a gold medallion and clears the schools you don't have to i'm scared. I'm not scared to drive a Corvette. It's just, I don't know where the stigma started with the Corvette, but it has stayed. Jamie's friend was shitting all over Tony Hinchcliffe's Corvette the other night. Jamie has this friend, and she was shitting all over Tony's Corvette. And I was like, you're out of your mind, lady. You're a woman. But, I mean, my wife's got a 488 um convertible and it's basically the same car yes yeah basically but it's 250 grand difference a giant difference in price but that

fucking car handles spectacularly and the interior is amazing i mean the new corvette is uh i i think it's a masterpiece i think they knocked it out of the park the only one that i don't like on the new one is they came out... See if you can find the hideous yellow one. It literally looks like... What car looks good in yellow? None. None.

As far as I'm concerned. None. It's a ridiculous color. You've got to be an asshole or Guy Fieri. Yeah, I've got to... That guy has all of his cars in yellow. Did you know that? I did not know that.

I know Guy Fieri. His cars are yellow? Oh, yeah. All of them. Look at that color. It's so horrible. And I know Guy Ferrer. His cars are yellow? Oh, yeah. All of them. Look at that color. It's so horrible. A friend of mine has this car. I won't name him right now.

Yellow Car Collection. I know he's got the red Camaro on his show. Bro, all of his cars are yellow. He's got like 100 yellow cars. It's the grossest thing you've ever seen in your life. Look. Those are all his cars. Get the fuck out of here

guy see there's a guy that first of all obviously 72 chevelle which is like the grossest year ever obviously he had better management than i did 71 might be a 71 chevelle 71 with the single headlights i don't know what they did with 71 but they made it gross oh he's in one red car well that's the one he uses on his show yeah but look It's because he knows the other ones are gross Go to that picture again With all of the yellow cars Come on guy What the fuck are you doing?

He's got like What is that? A fourth generation Corvette Yeah he's got an older Corvette Looks like a 2000-ish Corvette He's got a Jeep He's got a ZL1 it looks like a 2000-ish Corvette. He's got a Jeep. He's got a ZL1, it looks like, in the back. It basically looks like a collection

of $20,000 Harrods. Yeah, but they look gross. Like, the yellow... I don't understand it. Why would he do that? I will bust his chops next time I see him, because I had no idea that he collected yellow cars. He's got a whole fucking... What is this?

That's a Ferrari guy. This asshole has all his Ferraris are yellow. I don't get it. If you're colorblind, it'd be awesome. Who gives a shit what color it is? Let's roll. Oh, yeah. My buddy showed up with his yellow Corvette at some party

and we all just died laughing. Yeah, way to go. If you're like a Corvette dealer and you're ordering a bunch of different cars to sell on your lot like yellow you're assuming someone's getting a wrap well either that or you're just ordering one because like i say in the car business there's an ass for every seat that's true right there's always some crazy person some crazy person that prefers a gross color but yellow is like universally the grossest. I agree.

Yeah. And then red is the riskiest. Because if you're like, not more risky than yellow, but next risky. Because of like red, you have more of a chance to look like a douchebag. If you have a red Ferrari, you look like more of a douchebag than if you have a black Ferrari. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not a red car fan.

Every car I buy is black, except for when you get into the older cars. Now, I do like to have fun with the reds and the blues when you get into the muscle cars, because they made some sick colors back then, and you could mess with them, put the stripes on them, and things like that. But none of them look better. Well, a 70 Chevelle red with black stripes looks pretty dope. Tom Cruise had one of those in Jack Reacher. Correct.

Yeah. That was pretty dope. That was a pretty dope. Here's the other John. Yes. That's the Mustang. That's the 69 Boss 429. Yeah, that's the car.

That's the car they stole when they killed his dog and sent him on a murder spree. He must have liked that dog. Well, it was a little little puppy and it reminded him of his wife who just that's right come on bro it's john wick it's an american movie but uh that's a pretty dope dope car too yeah but you know definitely not yellow for anything i don't understand the yellow cars it's like i guess it's a really real i really really want you to look at me car that's what it is. Right?

Yeah. I just know my buddy that bought the yellow Vette right now is just cringing. Yeah. Sorry, bro. Get a wrap on that shitbox. Sorry about your manhood. Does he have a new Vette? Brand new one in that ugly color I just showed you.

Wow. Why would he do that? Maybe he was on the lot and he was drunk. No, he ordered it. Oh. That doesn't make any sense no not at all coming from a man who has a red podcast studio yeah what is the story with this studio you were starting to tell me when we walked in all right so i feel like i'm inside a can of v8 yeah so this is the story um we had literally five weeks from the time i said i'm getting the fuck out of california to airing a show okay live on on the internet on and uh it was actually the premiere of it being on spotify as well correct there was a lot of shit going on and it was real

risky but i was like i i don't care i want to get out of California I don't care and I got this place and this was a it was in this particular curvature this curve shape because it was a conference room and so I took this conference room and then I hired Matt Alvarez who came in and did all this shit and put the sound deadening in. And then I said, and then we got these wall panels. And I was like, what color can we get them? Because the wall panels are actually like these sound, like acoustic panels to absorb the echo and everything to make the sound better in the room.

So these have a reason. Yeah. So there's a color patterns to them. You can get different kind of like, these patterns were custom. And then the colors are custom, like you to them. You can get different kind of like, these patterns were custom, and then the colors are custom, like you order them. And so I said, that's what it originally looked like.

And so I said, red and black would be kind of dope. And then once we did the red and black, like what color walls? I'm like, let's make this whole motherfucker red. Let's get crazy. And so that's what we went with.

Okay. Just for the fuck of it. I guess. You can always change it, right? Yes. Well, I got plans. I can't talk about it on the air because i don't want people to know what i'm doing but i got i got a lot of other things happening that's very cool i do too sir yeah it's fun to have things happening it is it's you know i'm actually enjoying life for for uh once

in a while uh it's been a little while when i was getting beat down pretty well now i'm ready to be back up on top and have some fun. You had a lot of transitions, right? Like the show, and then the bar and grill, and then, you know. Yeah, but it's great to be back on top and doing what you want to do. Got me a new wife out there. You met her?

You did well. Thumbs up. Way above my league, sir. Don't ask questions. Just keep moving. I know, I know no she's she's phenomenal and beautiful and uh you know congratulations i didn't wait uh very long all these things are good so you have a few bad things and a few good things i like a few bad things because a few bad things make me appreciate a few good things yeah it also gets you focused

on fixing that shit because if everything is good like what are you? A king? What are you, lying down getting fed grapes? You're going to get soft, bitch. You need a little struggle. You need a little problem in your life. You can't just be rolling through life on clouds. It's not good. No. I prefer a little adversity in my life.

I actually enjoy it. It's one of the reasons why I like pot so much. Because even if your life is going great, you get really high as fuck. You get paranoid. You think everything's going to, oh my God, the world's going to end. And then you come out of it and you're okay. It makes you appreciate peace. See, not me.

I usually just go to sleep. I don't have time to get to that paranoia state. I haven't found the right stuff yet. No, we got the right stuff. Oh, no, you killed me last time. I'll just wait on that for a second. Get a few more beers in me. Don't get scared, bro. I'm never scared.

Don't get scared. We're drinking. Shout out to my brother, Ron White. This right here is number one. My man's got his own tequila company. Last time we were here, we drank your shit. Yeah, we did. We drank the fuck out of it.

I kind of stumped my toe on that. That was an amazing, spectacular failure. What happened? It sold so fast, and it was approved in so many states so quick, and I had no idea what the business was. So I just stumped my toe with pricing, and I stumped my toe with delivery, and so I just kind of backed off, and it's kind of sitting dormant while I take care of business this year, and then I'm going to relaunch it.

Well, come on back when you're relaunchingunch it let's get fucked up on it again i was going to bring you a bottle but there's literally none there i can't find a bottle anywhere in the united states i've called people and like hey if you've got one on your shelf send it to me i'll pay you we might have a half a bottle in la at the old studio no we finished that i think you gave me another one though oh yeah that is there a second bottle i was just i remember seeing something sitting around somewhere that like we left on like in case he came back or whatever yeah yeah they were like leave that shit here just in case just in case yeah um we get booze from weird places like so i've got uh i've got this list of stuff here oh you got notes well got notes. Well, I asked the people out there. This is from Terry Vertz, an astronaut that spent 200 days in space.

He gave me some fantastic single malt scotch. I wish I knew what that means. It sounds good when I say single malt. I don't know what it means. I don't know what it means either. I've got what's called a super set of Pappy Van Winkle or something, and I don't know what that means. I don't know how to say it properly.

Only thing would be coolers if you took it to space with him and brought it back. Right, right. It's just space whiskey. And it would give you some sort of space bug. So what's the notes, man? What do you got there? Let's see. You know, what's going on?

We've been covering a lot of this stuff. Just natural. That's how I like to do it yeah uh oh that was one that uh i noticed on the way uh up here because i was doing some research on podcasts and what have you why in the hell is everybody obsessed with these true crime podcasts oh i mean they're like ladies yeah and they're like the ladies love them these ladies are all learning how to kill us sir no yes no no no you got snapped you got all this stuff it's they're confused and they want to know why men are such murderous cunts and so uh they watch these true crime podcasts and they watch those shows on a and e you know those mystery like who did it yeah the 2020 stuff and yeah that's what that is.

That's my take on it, is that women, the reason why women are into it more than men is because they don't technically understand violence the way men do. Yeah. And so they just kind of like, they go, what the fuck is going on? And probably they're vulnerable.

So they're thinking about it all the time. No, I think the problem, like, with that Snapped, it's about women that get all crazy and kill their husband. Yeah. For that, they're vulnerable. So they're thinking about it all the time. No, I think the problem, like with that snapped, it's about women that get all crazy and kill their husband. Yeah. For that, they're excited. They're like, yeah, we're going to get him. Yeah.

I don't need that in my life. That's the same reason why chicks like Wonder Woman. They want to believe. There's a whole island of girls that kick ass. Yeah. We got to get him. Yeah. You come home and your wife's watching snapsaps for the 300th time that year.

You might want to sleep in another room. Well, you might want to be nicer to her. How about that? Well, that's true, too. How about taking care of the problem at its root cause? If she's your wife, it means at one point in time you must have loved each other. Correct. I'm just trying to figure out where it went wrong, Richard.

Where'd it go south? Well, it's like they say, no matter who she is or what she is, somebody somewhere's sick of her shit. They say that, but the guys who say that are usually losers. Well, I'm saying they say that. They, not you and I. They, not me and you. I just think that for women, those crime shows are like, it's almost like a way of understanding or a way of being prepared. Maybe they feel a little vulnerable. Oh, now's the time when i'm supposed to go ahead and get in the suitcase

do you know that imagine if you're a woman and you just imagine for a moment like every guy you date could kill you imagine if you dated women and all the women you dated were seven feet tall black belts in jiu jitsu and angry, and they wanted to kill you. Like, they wanted to fuck you, but they could kill you. That would be a terrible—that's—most women, that's their reality. Yeah, but every woman that you've dated or that you date, the guys out there, could be Lorena Bobbitt. That's true, too, but— Doesn't take too much when you're knocked out.

Was John Bobbitt so much of a cunt that lorena bobbitt wanted to chop his dick off i believe so at one point in time she didn't chop his dick off so what went wrong that's right she chopped that shit off on consummation night right something happened i'm not saying i'm not forgiving her but remember that was like uh women loved that. That was a fun one for women. Yeah, chop it off. Yeah. I took all the scissors out of my house. Good move.

It's more than scissors. Knives, box cutters. There's a lot of ways they could do it. But it is weird that predominantly women like those true crime shows. I wonder what a psychologist would think. Not a moron like me, but an actual psychologist that really understands what would dry I don't know but you I don't know if you remember this but back in the earlier 2000s there was a young model lady she would be the equivalent of an influencer now but you didn't

really have as much social media back then she got whacked by her boyfriend and he put her in a suitcase and then he went on up to Canada or somewhere and oh I do remember and uh ended up killing himself well I get a call of course I'm shopping my show I'm starting to get a little bit of notoriety in Hollywood stuff like that and they're like you're on the news and I'm like what do you mean they're like did you kill that chick so one of the newscasts in tmz i think it was also the only picture they found of this girl was at some event that i was at and i'm got my picture with her so the first picture to go out of that whole story was me and her and i'm like oh shit oh no oh that's horrible so uh they quickly found out that it wasn't me, I don't think.

Yeah. It was pretty rough there for a minute. There was another influencer woman who got murdered recently. Yeah, here in Texas. Yes. It was up in Frisco, wasn't it? Up by me in Dallas. I don't know what part of Texas, but I remember seeing it on the news.

Beautiful girl. Yeah. Yeah. Do they know? They don't know yet. I just read about that yesterday, and they haven't released what they know. That's a weird world when you're one of those girls that puts yourself out there on the Internet, and you never know what psycho is going to get obsessed with you based on your pictures.

You know? I mean, there's a lot of fucked up dudes out there. There's a lot of fucked up ladies. I've got a lady, you know, I'm sure you lot of fucked up dudes out there there's a lot of fucked up ladies i've got a lady you know i'm sure you do too with the fans out there i've got one that has literally been having a oh no no i'm not gonna mix it up with tequila why are you scared huh i'm never scared it sounds like you're scared fuck it okay so um the uh i've got a lady that has had a one-way conversation with richard rawlings if you will on social media for eight years six years however long it's been going she talks to us every day uh like hey i just took a shower honey i'm going to get some groceries and stop by my dad's place and every day day, it's tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of text messages.

Wow. And we have to place it over here and keep track of it to make sure if there's ever a problem. Just in case. I've stockpiled all the ammo necessary for my task. Exactly. Yeah. My suicide vest has been prepared. Yeah.

This one's a little scary. But what do you do what do you do you can't do anything until they do something that's serious that's got a serious freaking strong smell to it yeah it's peaty as he said see i don't understand my whiskeys because i don't ever drink them yeah i um i don't know what single malt means i say it like oh single malt nice that's where you go james tell me what single malt means. It's like if someone says, oh, it's a fucking

eight-cylinder four-barrel. I don't know if that's supposed to be good for you. That is stout. Good for you? No, it's not good for you. This is all about... This is Irish. You know? Is it Irish or scotch? Scotch. Irish. Ireland.

It's not necessarily good for you. It's about bad decision making and fun. If it weren't for whiskey, Irish would rule the world is what they used to say. They might be right. See guys like Conor McGregor. Scotch is from Scotland? Yeah. What is Scotch?

It's good though, right? I don't know. That's an acquired taste for me. I'll acquire it. There's some acquired tastes that are weird, like caviar. So did you buy a big place here? I bought a place. Like a ranch? Because I know Bill Goldberg moved out there and bought a big ranch.

That is the plan. The plan is to ultimately... I got a crazy plan. The plan is to have a place that's completely self-sufficient, like a hunting ranch. Windmill turbines and all that. The whole deal. Solar power. The whole deal.

Your own water. Everything. Yeah. Right on. Yeah. Water, animals, vegetables, food, and then room for friends in case the shit hits the fan. When the shit hit the fan in L.A., it opened my eyes. And it didn't really hit the fan.

Like, the grocery stores were still open. The supply chain was still functional. But I realized that it didn't have to be that way and that we got really lucky. And I was really lucky because I i hunt so i had a couple commercial freezers on my property that were filled with with frozen food so i had enough literally enough meat to feed my family for a year that's rad i was good but there was a real concern that the world would uh it would get so bad that the supply chain would fall apart. And then I would have to start feeding my friends.

And then, and so then I started thinking, okay, well, I have resources, right? So if I have resources, what would be a wise use of those resources other than trying to get as many cool people on the podcast and spread as much fun and enjoyment and spread a good vibe out there to the world. The other thought was I should probably have somewhere where all the people that I love can exist and survive. So do I get like a golden ticket if it all goes to hell? Fuck yeah, bro.

Fuck yeah. Just check in the front. 100%, yeah. But I need a couple thousand acres. That's the move. The move is a couple thousand acres with enough animals that you could exist. And, you know, like I was reading about Neil Young. Neil Young had, I think he had an issue recently.

Do you have a stroke or something like that? Am I making that up? But Neil Young had a, he's got a giant ranch, and he makes his own fuel for his vehicles. He makes bio diesel with plants. Okay. So you can make your own fuel. You can make your own ethanol with corn.

You know, there's, there's ways you can make your own fuel for you. You can be completely self-sustainable. We're going to, we're going to see you on an episode of that show that does preppers. Yeah. I'm not a prepper, but I watch those shows.

The problem with those guys is they're just jumping the gun a little. Yeah. The problem is not that they don't have valid concerns. The problem is they're jumping the gun. Well, maybe. When everything's great, you can just go to a restaurant Order a steak, and you can go to a supermarket And buy lettuce And asparagus

And have a nice salad And you can eat well, and you're okay Why are you fucking canning pears? Yeah, that stuff sucks You know, if you want a ranch I saw one that just went up for sale In the northwest portion Of Texas here Large large large ranch though um 225 square

miles that's what i'm talking about yes that's how you do it it is ridiculous it's first time anything like that's gone up for sale see if something like that goes up for sale you can get all your friends to come down well i think you got to get your friends to join in and run it like a business i mean you're talking about 150 million dollars but it's 225 square miles that's that's a little too big because you don't know who the fuck is coming in when you have that many miles you're gonna have to have so much security you want like a little bit less than that. But the thing is, if you had a place where all the people you care about could coexist, if everything... People look at the way the world is right now, as bad as 2020 was, and they go, wow,

this is the worst thing I've ever seen. But that's just because people don't live that long. People live these little tiny, little short lives, these little blips. Correct. And they seem long because it's, you know, your alarm clock goes off. You're like, ah, fuck, I don't want to get up. Or you have debt or you have this or you have that or you're going through a divorce or you're going through a thing with your business and you're fucking in court.

And it seems long, but it's not long. The world is long. The universe is long. The universe is long. Life is very short. But during your life, you get an inaccurate view of what's possible. And your inaccurate view is based on what you've experienced during your lifetime. Like people that have never experienced violence have a very distorted perception of what's possible. You talk to soldiers. You talk to people that have deployed,

you talk to specifically like spec ops guys, they've seen some wild shit, they have a whole different world in terms of what they view than you do, than I do. And I feel like we got a taste of what's possible with 2020. And I think that things can go way more sideways, way more sideways, to the point where during World War II, some untold number of people in the Soviet Union starved to death under Stalin.

Starved to death. That is not that long ago. it's less than 100 years ago correct like all this could happen again and it all it would take is to fit for things to keep sliding keep sliding sideways keep going bad and then the power grid goes down because of a solar flare and then there's attack by china that kills everyone in chicago and then you're fucked and then you don't know where your food's coming from you don't know where your water is coming from and uh you want to be prepared but you don't want to be a the problem is those preppers they're just a little too paranoid and they fucked it up for everybody else yeah

you know what i'm saying that's why you can't buy bullets right now you can't buy bullets right now i need people need to know this people out there that don't own guns first of all gun ownership radically increased in 2020 correct and gun purchases went up and then bullet purchases went up and and they're hoarding them all i mean they can't even make them fast enough i mean you're talking to the guy who got shot in 92 how'd you get shot i have fucking carjacking oh yeah i was a police officer show me your arm came in uh back here on my shoulder and came out down here you were a police officer back then dude i was a police officer firefighter and paramedic before i was old enough to drink that's crazy a little bit of an overachiever wow that's crazy how did you get involved in that

how old were you when you joined the force uh i went into the police academy at 18 yeah you could be a cop at 18 uh i got my certification when i was 19 that is crazy when were you on the force pulling people over uh late 19. That is so crazy. Yeah, I spent some time in a little suburb of Dallas called Alvarado, and then I ended up at the Tarrant County Constable's office. And then I ended up getting hired on by a city up there in Coppell. And they put me through the fire academy and medic school. And so that's what I did until I was like 27 ish 26 so how old were you when you

got shot 92 so i guess i was 22 so you were 22 and you were stopping a carjacking no i was actually had been out that night uh with a buddy of mine and uh he got lucky went home with some chick so i did not i was going uh through the water burger drive-thru and a couple of mine and uh he got lucky went home with some chick so i did not i was going uh through the water burger drive-through and a couple of guys came up and got me from behind wow yeah what kind of car 65 mustang uh fastback gold on gold it's a nice car nice car yeah the problem was you had good taste even back then yeah yeah i was always flipping and buying cars all through school. As a matter of fact, I graduated high school. I started my driver's license when I was 16 with a $250 76 Impala

and finished high school two and a half years later or two years later with a Bandit Trans Am, four-speed, T-topped, red on black with the big gold bird. Dude, I know we talked about it last time you were here, but that was one of the saddest episodes of your show when you had Burt Reynolds sign that Trans Am and he couldn't even walk. Yeah. It made me think, like, Father Time is a motherfucker. Oh, yeah.

But, I mean, that guy, he did all those stunts. He beat himself up. And he played football, too. Yeah. Played football before he was ever an actor and did a lot of stunts. Super nicest guy I've ever worked with. If you'd have told me when I was a kid driving around in my band at Trans Am that I'd get to work with Burt Reynolds, I'd have been like, when, where, how? Right, right.

And so, I mean, my lovely wife uh asked me she's like what are you really proud of you know blah and i'm like well i got a hot wheel actually i have two and i got to play i got to film with burt reynolds i'm like good enough and i had uh and i had uh uh motley crew play my bar so you have an 80s kid i'm done at the Play at the Gas Monkey Bar and Grill? Fuck yeah. No way. Yeah. Really? Yeah, they came for a big... The full Motley Crue? The full deal. Wow.

Played my bar for a private party of about 4,000 people. Dude. It was a Dodge event. Dana White, who's the president of the UFC, when he was 40, his 40th birthday, they hired Stone Temple Pilots to do, I believe it was his wife who set everything up, but it was a surprise party. And they hired Stone Temple Pilots to be at his birthday party and perform. Very cool. And there wasn't, but I don't know. I'm guessing. Less than 100 people.

Those motherfuckers rocked that place like it was a 30,000-seat stadium filled with people. This is it. Is this at my bar? This is it. Gas Monkey Live, Dallas, Texas. So check this out. Look at Tommy Lee going off. It was the first time they had played a small bar in a few decades, right?

And they all showed up kind of pissy. And they were all like, well, you know, and my acoustics in that bar are so perfect. The stage is five feet off the ground, but it's solid concrete. So it's just throwing the sound. Oh, wow. And they were supposed to play, I don't know, like 35, 40 minutes. And they ended up playing like an hour and a half. And they said afterwards, they were like, holy shit, this is freaking riot.

The other thing was it was a Mopar event with Dodge. And so to get in, to get a ticket to be there, you had to drive your Mopar to the event. So I had like 3,000 freaking Mopars out in the parking lot. Dude, shout out to Dodge for fucking stepping the horsepower wars up to 10. When they came out with the Hellcat, they were like, let's stop fucking around. Let's get this bitch up to 700 horsepower. That's like an auction.

You know, like, hey, do I hit 100? Do I hit 100? Do I hit 100? And someone goes, 300, bitch! Woo! Things get crazy. Dodge jacked that fucking Hellcat. they did two things they got the demon out there now at 800 crazy they did two things that were perfect though one is they came out with a shape that was both modern and reminiscent of classic they nailed that yeah

they nailed it i used that car before it came out in my 2014 Comedy Central special. Yeah, look. That's some of the guys in the band driving right there to a Donuts. They pull up and they all fold. You had to have a Mopar. I love it. Jamie, find a picture of me. There's a picture of me posing like an Instagram hoe.

This is 2014. This is before the Hellcat was even released uh shout out to matt farrah from the smoking tire oh i know matt he's cool cat he's a great guy he hooked it up for me he he got me connected with them and they delivered it to denver where i was filming this comedy central special like i had this whole thing about being too high before the show laying that's me holy shit that does not look like you because it looks like me we're talking about making a ridiculous face that is a ridiculous you know i did all the commercials for that when they rolled it out from 2014 or 15 when they came

out yeah for three or four years there i I did all the Challenger and Charger commercials. Did you really? Oh, look up Rawlings Dodge Law, L-A-W. So this was like two years into Fast and Loud. About three. Three years. Yeah, but I was their pitchman for that whole rollout. So I have, check this out, I'll tell you a story about a fucking car that needs to be written.

This could be a novel. I have Hellcat number two ever produced. Do you really? Look at these Dodge Law commercials. Wow. So. What is with the animated monkey? Oh, he's animated.

I'm pulling motor for doing non-manly things in a Dodge, like eating a croissant. That's it. Put the croissant down. That's so ridiculous. It's toxic masculinity. So I have Hellcat No. 2, serial No. 2. And it came from the factory with some really kind of jacked up things about it. One door panel is suede, one's leather.

You know, just weird stuff like that. The car's been stolen. While it was stolen, well, actually, I wreck like that the car's been stolen while it was stolen uh well actually i wrecked it and then after that it was stolen and while it was stolen it was gone for nine months and i got paid off by the insurance company and everything and then somebody called me and says hey i'm i'm a repo guy and i'm looking at your dodge right now it's sitting in this parking lot so i went over there and stole it back and they were using it as a drug drop car so it was like right next to this uh like interstate trucking company through a row of hedges and from what we could tell is the truck drivers would come in with a big old bag of weed and put

it in the trunk of the car take their payment and roll away and the car itself had all these cameras on it and facing it so they could see when the weed was got dropped and then they go pick it up so i got a custom texas tag on it now it says gmg mule it's the gas monkey mule and uh so then while it was stolen uh we find out later on after i steal it back i literally went with the trailer and put it on there and took it. And ended up making a deal with the insurance company and got to keep it. Then a guy releases a video. Some local rapper guy made his rap video inside my car while it's stolen. No.

With the weed smoke and flapping the $100 bills and doing donuts and stuff. In your car in my car while it's stolen oh my god that's insane that's hilarious it was a life you've led it was in well the car has led so that's one of the ones like it falls in line with your life yeah so it's one that i might not get rid of i might have to to keep that one. Oh, you have to keep it. You have to keep it. Now, did you not have a GPS tracking on it or anything? Oh, they can turn that shit off.

The second they get into the car, they pull the interface and you're gone. But isn't there a way to like... There's secondary like low jacks or whatever, but I didn't have that. You know, didn't have any of that. What's the best one of those? Of what? Low jack type deals deals i don't even know because that just seems like a wise thing to have not really no no fuck it yeah you know if it gets stolen and if you're smart you're gonna get better money from the insurance and it's worth it but is it a money thing with some cars some cars you want to keep them well there's truth to that yeah like if my 65 corvette got stolen, I'd be very bummed out.

Very bummed out. I don't think I'd be able to handle that very well. I need something on that car. Yeah. I get it. There's certain cars that I have. That'd be me and my green Mustang. Yeah.

There's certain cars that are just like, they're more than just a car. It's like I've experienced, I used to used to whenever i wanted to if i had an important comedy show at the store i would bring that 65 mustang because it was a convertible and it was loud as fuck side pipes just full america you know just raging roaring v8 and it's just like it felt alive no radio no you don't need i don't have a the car doesn't have a radio it just it's just free but was it true radio delete No, you don't need that. I don't have a... The car doesn't have a radio. It's just free. But was it true radio delete, or it just didn't have one?

No, it was a resto mod. Oh, okay. Steve Strope did it for me. Got it, got it. I bought it from RK Motors in Charlotte, and then I sent it to Steve Strope, and Steve Strope just decked that motherfucker out, put a supercharger on the LS1. It was... Again? Oh, wide-ass fucking fat tires. Were you just waiting to get down the list far enough to actually have Gas Monkey build something? This was a long time ago, man.

I didn't even know you. I tell you, I'm more than ready to do something with you. See if you can find that 60. It was on Jay Leno's garage. See if you can find my 1965 Corvette. I've always wanted a 65 because there's something about that shape. It was on Jay Leno's garage. See if you can find my 1965 Corvette. I've always wanted a 65 because there's something about that shape. That's the perfect time when America was busting out of the 50s and into the 60s.

And these shapes were getting radical. Look at that motherfucker. Come on, son. Look at that car. Are those center lines? That's right, bitch. Center lines. Fucking badass. Center lines. Oh, those are fucking badass. Center lines.

Flat. People complained about them. I'm like, eat shit, pussies. That's what it's supposed to look like. That car does not hurt my feelings. I like it. It shouldn't. That's a fucking amazing car.

I'd give them all up except that. Every car I own, I'm keeping that forever. I'm actually fixing to give up mine except for like three. I never give that one up i'm fixing to sell them all hi what are you doing i told you i'm making some changes making some moves yeah making some moves you know well that is the beautiful thing about cars is like okay i can't drink this whiskey shit where's the tequila you can give it to me yeah you pour that in there i know you don't have corona i'll take your whiskey yeah we got tested just a minute ago can i have my glass back jesus sorry sorry the beautiful thing about those kind of cars is that someone always wants it

like if you have a 1969 boss mustang that is someone's always gonna want that car yeah but what i'm seeing in the market being that i do that for business is the 30s and 40s and and almost the 50s have just dropped off the face of the planet. 30s, 40s, and 50s. Hot rods. Oh, 1930? Yeah. Those are ridiculous anyway. Yeah, but I mean. It's a fucking bread truck. Come on.

Southern California, the birth of the hot rod. Those people are ridiculous. You know, 32 Ford. I don't care about them. I'm not interested. Wow. I'm interested in like early 60s to like 71. Salute, my friend. Salute, sir. So how about this one for a hot rod? I'm interested in like early 60s to like 71.

Salute, my friend. Salute, sir. So how about this one for a hot rod? I had a 63 Pontiac Bonneville station wagon, 8 lug, 421, 4 speed. And I bought it right here off of Congress Avenue one night. Really? Yeah. What does it look like? Blue with blue interior bucket

seats in a wagon and it's a 421 eight lug four speed uh they have a big show here four speed wagon respect yeah fuck yeah respect for a four-speed wagon uh steve uh uh god i can never say his last name it's like starts with a w and ends with a couple of consonants. But anyways, he has a big show here called Lone Star Roundup every year. Big hot rod show right here in Austin. You're going to love it. When does that happen? Usually right around Easter. It's usually a weekend before, a weekend after.

It's coming up. And it's a kick-ass old hot rod muscle car show. And I saw this thing parked on the side of the road, and I found the owner, and I said, you know, you want to sell it? They said, yeah. So I snapped it up for $8,000 right there because I knew what I had. You got a picture of this type of vehicle? Bonneville station wagon 421 8 lug. Do you have a picture of yours available online?

God, no. This was 2004, 2005. Isn't that funny? That doesn't seem like that long ago. You're 53, man. I know, that's the problem. First of all, my memory sucks, and my frame of reference is extended. You know, when you're 53, 15 years ago doesn't seem that long.

Wow, look how pretty that is. That's not a wagon, though. That's not a wagon. But that's a goddamn beautiful convertible. Holy shit, that's nice. When I was in... Yeah, it's similar to that. Look at that.

Oh, wow. You had that in a four-speed? Yeah, see, that's eight lug and the Bonneville, so it's the best trim package. But mine had the 421, which was their three-deuce setup. Yeah, there it is. Right on. Look at that.

421 Tri-Power. I had one of those. I sold that thing for a mint. That is the kind of thing that only a muscle car guy would understand. Because you say that to any woman. You had a station wagon. Why are you proud of that? Like, no woman's going to be a...

Even Jamie, look at him over there. Are you kidding me? Yeah. What the fuck about that goddamn station wagon? Shit, I'll throw a freaking Indian blanket in the back of that and put my girl back there and show her what's up. An Indian blanket? Why an Indian blanket?

Well, I was just thinking, well, Texas here, we have the Indian sharp a shiropi or I don't know what the fucking word for it is but you just throw that thing down so like what a Dennis Hopper had on the front of his motorcycle and easy rider oh you know whatever that crazy blanket is okay I'm sure there's a million words for it sorry if I offended in no means are you allowed to they just got back the Indians no Cleveland Cleveland just said they're not gonna be the Indians yeah yeah they just I mean I'm saying the Native Americans just got it back right they took it away yeah it's there so now they could be in the hundred and five years they could be

in town we can't what are they gonna be now probably a good one baseball franchise just like the watch and Redskins turned into the football team. No. They said it's temporary until they can have a consulting group help them come up with a great name. We have no flavor. We should consult for them. Consulting pays big.

Well, Cleveland used to be the Indians. You're an Ohio guy. What's representative of Cleveland? The Browns. That's the problem is the Browns is their team, and that's named after a guy's last name. The Browns and the Indians. Okay.

Luckily, it's named after a guy's name because that might be next. Some people are hoping the Steamers gets picked up. The Steamers. The Cleveland Steamers. That's hilarious. That's not really – That's hilarious. It's an industry town.

There's rock and roll, and the WNBA team was named the Rockers. Yeah, but what's going to happen when we get mad at steel? What's going to happen when we get mad at steel and we don't like steel anymore? Right. Then Pittsburgh's got to, like, not use the Steelers. They would not use the Steelers. Cleveland would not do that. Richard, you're an old school American type dude.

What do we do about all this political correctness? I think everybody's got to fucking check themselves i mean it's just like too many people have the opportunity to complain that's what i think i think so with the with the internet and social media the way it is i mean like i said earlier in the broadcast i can there's an ass for every seat well there's an idiot for every fucking thing out there and there's and there's probably 10 so no matter what you come up with there's going to be somebody that decides to side with you and it's like really you don't like grape slurpees and now you've got now you've got a gang that's hanging out the 7-eleven telling people not to eat great slurpees

it's that stupid yeah it's uh i know what you're saying but you're saying, but it's not a good time because when you allow people to complain, like, do you have children? I do. You know what? I've got a boy, Chandler. He's, I guess he's 23 right now. Oh, so you've gone through the whole course. So you know what it's like to raise a young one.

No, no, no. I don't. His mom raised him. Oh, really? Yeah. I unfortunately wasn't involved in that. like to raise a young one and no no no i don't his mom raised him oh really yeah i uh i i unfortunately wasn't uh involved in that it was more of a uh um how would you politically say this i had him on the weekends and you know on thanksgiving yeah but you know it wasn't a very fun process for him or me but uh he's a good kid he's working his way through life and trying to figure it out and uh you know we know, we've all been there.

Listen, that's what made me who I am. I'm fortunate that I had a fucked up childhood because it gave me motivation. You hear that, Chandler? In a lot of ways. And then it's made me a much more attentive father. Made me pay attention. Yeah, you got two girls, right? Yeah, three.

Three? Yeah, three. father made me pay attention yeah you got two girls right yeah three three yeah three um but what i was going to get at is that when you're raising kids and you see them and they're young they complain about shit they shouldn't complain about and you gotta say listen this is silly you're complaining about this is not that big a deal let's just do this and get it over with and they make it seem like it's the end of the world. Like if they can't watch TV at 8 o'clock at night. Like, look, you've got to go to bed. You've got to be at school.

And they think it's the end of the world. If you just gave them a social media account and let them complain about things, it would make it seem that those things were really significant. And this is what you're getting with a lot of people. You're getting a lot of grown-up babies that have a really ridiculous idea of what's important and not important and they have access to a twitter account or a facebook account and they just fucking spew just blah i agree and they're almost all losers this is the problem it's like if you want to complain about things all day long that is time that you're not spending doing the things you want to do. Correct.

That is time that you're not spending improving your situation, improving your career, getting your life together, whatever the fuck you're trying to do. Drinking beer. Any time. That too. You can't take away that. Any time you spend complaining about nonsensical things, which is what a lot of what the internet is, is time you're not thinking

about yourself. And they don't realize it because a lot of these people were raised by people that were raised by other people that were idiots. And this is what a lot of society is. It's like your parents are morons. And then you got to figure out how to not be like your parents. And then you start raising kids of your own like, shit. I got to figure out what they did to me. And I want to not do that to these kids. Some people don't get that. All right? You get morons making morons who make morons.

And those morons get a Twitter account. And they start just fucking just spewing. And they have a venue. And then other morons jump on board. Like, yeah, you're right. You're right. Yeah, fuck them. They're all wrong

and then you get all these idiots that find like a little echo chamber and they all spew in the same hole that's what they do i mean it's like i tell a we get some hate mail and stuff you know and hate stuff on the old twitters and instagrams and everything and i'm like all right you know you know so much about me you must be a fan because you're fucking watching. And you're probably sitting in your mom's basement in your Gas Monkey t-shirt talking shit. I know that they want to bring you down because they look at you and you're having too much fun. That's really what it is. That's what it is in a lot of cases.

They want to bring you down because you're having too much fun. But you got to resist that because it's it's what is that expression um envy is the only or is it envy or anger is the only thing that poisons the vessel that holds it yeah it's very deep it would be better if i said it right yeah it would have been a lot better it is uh it's one of those things where if you have you think about someone all the time and you're like, fucking Richard Rollins, that guy sucks at this and his fucking bullshit and this. They're paying so much attention hating you that if you looked at a pie chart of their life, like how much time do you spend loving and being a good friend and having a lot of

laughs? Anger is an acid that can do – well, that's too many words. It's Mark Twain, but Mark Twain said it correctly. So he's probably the first one. Everybody else shortened it. Anger is an acid that can do more to harm the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured. That's not necessarily true.

No, it's not. Some anger can fuck up the whole world if you're Genghis Khan. anything on which it is poured that's not necessarily true no it's not but some anger can fuck up the whole world if you're gingus khan he did a lot more to other people than his own vessel oh yeah he fucked up the place he fucked up the whole world but you got to give him a little bit of credit kill 10 of the population he said i'm just gonna fucking come in here and take shit did you ever um there's a guy named dan Carlin. He has a podcast called Hardcore History. Have you ever heard of it? I have, but I haven't listened to a lot of them. He has a series called The Wrath of the Khan,

and it is the craziest fucking depiction of Genghis Khan and his ancestors that I've ever heard or seen. It's like five parts, and it's fucking incredible. That guy killed somewhere between 20 and 50 million people while he was alive he killed 10 of the population of earth they changed the carbon footprint the mongols killed so many people it literally changed the carbon footprint of earth like the what humans have on earth like if you do a core sample okay god like why is there so little carbon oh that's when king is con was alive he killed so many people there was 10 less

people you can measure it i never heard that that's pretty crazy i can't remember i know he's been on before and i don't remember if you've asked this yeah but um he doesn't script that out the whole show it's not written really he ad-libs everything well if you study something like he knows it enough that he tells the story he's so good what he does is not a podcast like this is a podcast you and i look at we're fucking getting pile of empty beers we got whiskey we got this is a podcast we're talking shit what he does is like an audio entertainment historical educational experience it's fucking great his he's a national treasure, that guy, because he makes history interesting.

Wow. Yeah. Dan Carlin. And I think it costs only, like, most of them are free, the ones that are current for free. But they're so expensive to make, and it takes so long to make them. There he is. That you have to go. That is a lot.

He does a lot of them. See, I love that stuff. They're all incredible. You just taught me something. I'm going to have to start watching. That is a lot. He does a lot of them. See, I love that stuff. You just taught me something. I'm going to have to start watching. They're all incredible. But the Wrath of the Cons is definitely not free anymore. When I downloaded it, it was free. Wrath of the Cons series.

There it is. So $10, and I'm telling you, it is some of the most amazing entertainment and history. I'm doing it. A history lesson. It's fucking incredible. I'm doing it. A history lesson. It's fucking incredible. I'm doing it because I read a lot of that stuff. Most people think I can't read, but I can read. I think you can read.

If it's small letters. Who thinks you can't read? I'm just saying. Who are those people? I have no idea who those people are. Those people, they need to relax. They need a hug. Yeah.

They think you can't read. There's going to be a lot of people that need a hug because I just lowered the boom on your podcast that there's no fast and loud anymore. You'll be fine. Oh, I'll be fine. It's great. Change is great. I love change. Change is awesome.

It's so good. It gives you a chance to reinvigorate. Also, it lets you know that things don't last. You've got to fucking just pick up your shit well we're we're the first generation of that you know at our age you know our parents and stuff we're used to things just staying forever you know let's watch 27 years of mash or whatever right uh and uh then you take it to the kids that are even 18 today. Hell, it lasts three hours.

They're impressed. Yeah, they're bored as fuck. Everything's all TikTok-y. I hate TikTok. I can't do it. Yeah, I got kids, and they TikTok. One of my daughters TikToks all the time. She's all in the house, like, TikToking.

I don't understand what that is, though. Kids TikTok across the land. Hey, watch out. Don't be throwing stuff from empty i got crazy they they're all tiktokking man i was watching some kid the other day at the mall and like his parents are in front of him he's like fucking tiktokking i don't get it because you're 51 what are you 51 i'm 51 yeah how the fuck are we supposed to get it? When we were kids, you would listen to FM radio.

Yeah, and I played Hit the Light Post with a tennis ball. You know, Hit the Land. Wasn't there a... Not only was Soul Train popular, but Dick Clark had that show. You're going back a little far, man. Don't make me come over that screen. American Bandstand was kind of before our time that was like the 60s 60s was there something like that in the 70s or no

soul train was in the 70s soul train was in the 70s but the thing is like you know high school for me is 81 i feel like coming of age is 81 to 85 those are the years where yeah that was me yeah that's where like van halen Van Halen was the shit. So looking at Soul Train in my head, that's TikTok though, right? They're dancing in front of a camera. Right. Trying to get famous. I see what you're saying.

There was Danny Terrio's... Now, Danny Terrio's Dance Fever. If you can find the credits to Danny Terrio's Dance Fever, my mother owned a company with her boyfriend at the time that was called Funky Designs. And they provided a lot of the dresses for

the girls on Danny Terrio's Dance Fever. Danny Terrio's Dance Fever. I literally haven't thought of that for 40 years. It just popped into my head for whatever reason. 40 years? There it is. What year was this? 1979.

40 years. I didn't think about this right after it was off the air. I don't know if it was every episode or not but I know that Is that Danny Terrio? Where's he at now? Now we have a He was the Ryan Seacrest of 1979.

Yeah, so... They're moving. So my mother's company put up a lot of the dresses and apparel for these girls. Hold on. Back up. Back up a little bit. Let me see Danny again. What's going on with his tie?

It's probably a sock tie. Back up so I don't see your volume thing. What's his tie?'s going on with his tie? It's probably a sock tie. Back up so I don't see your volume thing. What's his tie? What's happening with his tie? Is it outside or is it inside? It's very short. It's like a short tie. That is preposterous.

Him and Ralph Macchio could be brothers easily, right? I think that... Are we sure Danny Terrio is not Simon Cowell as a young man? He definitely isn't. He definitely isn't. Because I don't think Simon can move like that. Simon fell in his driveway. On an electric bike.

And he's fucked. Yeah. Literally fucked. Like his spine is shattered. Yeah, he's suing those people. The electric bike people? Yeah. Come on.

Learn how to fucking handle a bike. You got on a freaking The electric bike people? Yeah. Come on. Come on. Learn how to fucking handle a bike. You got on a freaking bike. It's your problem. Jesus Christ, you fell. Is he really fucking suing? I saw it the other day. Calm the fuck on.

I'm not kidding. That drives me crazy. Everybody's all suing. Everybody knew what it is. It's not a Nerf ball that you're climbing inside of. This headline says he could sue, not that he did sue. Oh. Oh, is that what it was? Sorry, Simon.on shout out to simon stay strong heal up brother case we're

hanging out polo club later there heal up brother that guy's always so mean and then he became a vegan for compassion like what come on man who the fuck is a bee for compassion mean to everybody for so long like that show is all about but it's part of his gig this this is from a whistleblower from inside the company says that which if this is true it is a little extreme uh like the e-bike i have only goes 20 miles an hour it stops there this one can go up to 60 good make you go 100 i need oh yeah fast and loud you're talking to rich. I need that. Yeah, fast and loud. You're talking to Richard Rawlings. I need that.

How about you shut your hole, Jamie? What are you, a fucking socialist? Yeah, I've been trying to learn how to ride my one wheel. Have you seen the one wheels? Yeah, we got one of those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Rich Benoit from Rich Rebuilds brought us one, right? That's where we got it.

Yeah. Yeah. Rich Rebuilds is... He had his own. They sent us some. Oh, that's right. We it uh yeah yeah yeah rich rebuilds he had his own they sent us to some oh that's right we talked about on the podcast rich uh came on the show did you ever watch that youtube show i have rich rebuilds has a great youtube show because he's basically one of the very first guys that does electric cars and and takes like total teslas and he'll take the engine out of this one and he'll put it in the body of that one and do it and he'll take the engine out of this one,

and he'll put it in the body of that one, and he's gone way out of his way to sort of highlight the fact that these fucking cars are impossible for a regular person to fix. So then he built his own garage in Boston called the Electric Garage. Electric Garage or Electrified Garage? What is this garage? Electric Garage. So he's like a renegade electric electrified he's a renegade electric car guy like he he's like he he had to like jury rig some shit in his car to even get it to work and he had to buy the key

from the dude who owned the car like he had to find the guy who originally owned it. Because he couldn't just get a key. He couldn't go to Tesla and say, hey, I bought this car. And then I bought another car. I put the engine in that one. Can I get a key? If you went to Chevy and you said, hey, I bought a 2005 Z06. And I swapped the engine out with a fucking 2015 Z06.

And this and that. No, it's complicated now. They would give you a key, though. They would help. To a point. But they would work with you. Wouldn't they work with you? I think Chevy would work with you. It's getting a little crazy now with all this electronics.

Because they're controlling something that is potentially profitable, so they want to make their profit on it. So they might work with you, but they might charge you $2,000 for that key. That's a car. My first car cost like $350. Mine was $250. I bought a 73 Chevelle.

It died like two days after I bought it. How could $2,000 get you a key? Oh, we lost the key to the rover the other day and they want nine hundred dollars to replace the car we own i'm like are you kidding me nine hundred bucks for a key yeah that seems ridiculous it's absolutely one of those keys it does like it has like a little lcd where you shit. It just opens and unlocks the doors. It's an old-ass Rover, man. Why is it so expensive? Because they can.

Did you ask? Yeah, because they can. That's the bottom line. But the shit, I had a thought and I lost it. You know what I really worry about? What? Autonomous cars. You know why?

Why? Because they're going to be better. They're going to be safer. They're going to get us where we need to go. Everyone is going to know. Every car is going to know where every other car is. It's going to be real simple. Every car is going to avoid accidents.

They're going to go the speed limit. If you need a car, it's going to encourage people to take public transportation. Because why do I even need a car if I can't even drive it? I'll just start using public cars or public transportation. What if you're in a hurry? Or you want to go fast? Or you want to do a burnout? That's the point.

That's dangerous. All those things are very independent. They're very American. They're also very dangerous. Correct. But, I mean, like California's saying they want 20, 35 only electric cars. That's not true. California is the birthplace of hot rodding.

That guy's just trying to be president. He'll never be president. He's a douchebag. But now he's probably got a real rough road of it when they busted him eating dinner inside without a mask. And there's a recall right now, a Gavin Newsom recall that's at 800,000

signatures so far. You go to recallgavinnewsom or recallgavin.com, I don't know which one it is but I don't know anything about it. All I know is that... That idea that you're going to stop in 2035, the problem is there's people that are working right now on carbon. What is it?

With a star dimmed. California's Newsome could face recall. Yeah. He fucked up. He fucked up with a lot of things, but he really fucked up getting caught in that restaurant with no mask on inside, sitting right next to each other. 1.5 million petition. They've got nearly half what they need is what that is that's the yeah yeah not good but what are you gonna do

I mean I like if I can't go out and smell the gasoline and hear the roar and feel the car and you know we're the last of the Mohicans this is what I think I think guys who grew up like you and I did when we were kids like when i when i worked at a gas station and um same my friend john had a brother and his brother drove by cliffy cliffy jewett he drove by at a 65 gto convertible and we would all just watch him drive by like wow and his license plate was chirps because he would would like chirp the gears as he was going through first and second. Yeah, chirp the tires. Yeah.

And we would all just sit there when he drove by like, wow, there it is. There it is. For me, it was a part of those kind of cars, those muscle cars from the 60s and early 70s. They were a part of life. Like that was what you aspired to, you know? That and good times fans yes both of those good times fans scooby-doo vans do you remember the vans where people used to have like conan the barbarian like the fucking oh yeah that a thing spray painted on the side yeah the uh the the fire

breathing dragon with a dude on there with the sword yes there was a bunch of those vans from that day that were custom vans that were made with like those fantasy paintings that's it close encounters

that looks amazing, look side pipes that van is the shit that van is the shit come That van is the shit. Come on, son. That's a podcast van. That is a podcast van. Jamie, do we? Why not?

We should. I could build that. We've talked about it. I could build you a podcast van. Oh, now we're talking. Should we do what Tim Pool did? Or should we do like this? Be kind of more van-y.

Maybe there's like a value in being more vanning we could spray paint one of those cool mercedes vans too we don't have to go with the small but the thing is like these have the whole side like no windows i had one of these when i delivered newspapers you delivered it i had a gmc why did we have such parallel lives i delivered newspapers as a kid from the time i was eight until i was well i left home uh it was my dad's third job we we back then you had a newspaper in the morning and in the evening oh uh and and in fort worth you had an evening a morning paper an evening paper and so i my dad would get me up at like oh three o'clock in the morning no matter what the weather i'd put on whatever gear and i'd sit in the back seat of a four-door dodge and throw i'd wrap the newspapers or or rubber band

them and throw them into the front and then um he'd throw them out either side yeah i had to race home from school to get back in the car and do it again after he finished his job as a produce manager and then you said something else earlier that we've both done work to the gas station yeah yeah so look at that newspaper the the best thing about delivering newspapers for me was that you didn't really have to talk to anybody just go and do it and for me it was perfect i would just i would listen to the morning radio and sometimes nothing at all. I would just think. Just think about life.

Fold papers, stuff them in those plastic bags. Yeah, the plastic bag hanging from the rear view. Hanging from the rear view. And then chuck them out the windows. And I was good. I was good at chucking them out the windows. And then I had a few older ladies in particular where I'd deliver their newspaper inside their door. You had to open them.

But I would resist that for most folks. Like a lot of lazy dudes that didn't want to go out to the driveway to get the newspaper. Like, would you put it inside the screen door? Like, come on, bitch. You can walk. This is for old people. But do you remember the little ticket book where you collected, you know, and you'd have to go knock on people's door on Saturday afternoon and be like, dude, you owe me $2. The ticket book was a bummer because guys would get mad at you because they owed money for getting the fucking newspaper

delivered and they said you know there was a about two saturdays ago i didn't get the supplemental with all the coupons yeah like that's because i took it out because you owe me money boo yeah no listen i don't know what you're talking about man you gotta complain i just i'm here every morning at your house delivering your newspaper. Please give me the money. But it taught me a lot about discipline because it was a 365-day-a-year job. There was no days off. I did not have a single day off delivering newspapers unless I had a fight.

I had to travel outside of the state. In that case, I had someone take over for me. I had one of the other guys at the dispatch. But every day, snow, rain, it didn't matter. Every day, I was up at 4.30 in the morning, and I'd go to the dispatch, and I'd get my papers, and I'd do my route. And I was done somewhere around 8. Same thing here. Same thing here.

And then I'd go straight to school. For me, it was godsend because I can get money without having to have a boss like hanging over my fucking shoulder every day i you know growing up in a fucked up childhood it was not good for uh listening to like authority i was bad at that because i didn't get a lot of it in the house so i was like i just i just wasn't a good employee like really i wouldn't want me working for me unless there was a job where you didn't have to talk to me like i knew how to discipline myself and then learning how to discipline myself further with this this thing where it's like just shut the fuck up and do it just get go there and do it and when it's over then it's over but you have to get zen about it

you have to just do the work and that taught me a lot in life because like that that learning how to grind like that was a big part of my childhood like learning how to just show up deliver the newspapers and go home and go back to bed and take a nap. That's a valuable lesson, man. Same here. I mean, that's the way I grew up. So I did that. I mowed yards. I did that too.

I bought and sold cars. I worked for a landscaper. Yeah. Yeah. But the good thing is, you know, I knew where all the cars were. You know, throwing newspapers, I'm driving that neighborhood every day. You know, I see that garage door up. I'm like, eh, that might be an RSSS.

I don't know. I bought a lot of cars that way. Well, when I was in high school, there was a few kids that were real hard work. Luckily, that's the other thing about New England. Growing up in Boston, those people are hard working folks. They work hard. And it's because of the fact that you have to shovel your fucking driveway or you can't get out. Yeah.

There's no just waking up. You're living in Miami. It's like fucking 75 in the morning. Get in your car. Oh, they shovel their snow in Miami. Trust me on that one. It's more like spooning it. People are moving there now, too.

Yeah. A lot of Silicon Valley is moving to Miami. That's a wrong move. It's not the right move. No. But good. I'm happy. I'm like, make that sucker move.

Because there's too many. I'm already like, I've been here for four months. And my mom is like, get out of here. Don't move here. Oh, you already think you're a Texan. You're ready to rock. I'm not just a Texan, but I'm an exclusionist. I'm trying to keep other people from coming.

Yeah, I hate it here. Don't come here. It's horrible. Except comedians. I'm trying to move comedians in. But that's something we're working on. Oh, Texas is going to be the comedian capital of the world. Austin is, as much as I can make it.

Well, it's always been the country music and the barbecue capital of Texas. So, did we go for a comedian capital? Well, we need a spot. And we don't have a spot right now. New York is shut down. LA is shut down. And I've been doing these shows with Dave Chappelle at Stubbs Barbecue in town. Yeah.

Over the last few weeks. I've seen a couple of those. Bro, they've been fucking amazing. They're so much fun. We COVID test the whole crowd so the whole crowd can be jammed in there. 400 people. Where's my invite for the next one?

You're coming, brother? Well, tomorrow night and Wednesday are the next two nights. I'll just stay. Stay. Stay. I got nothing to do. Did I tell you I'm not with Discovery anymore?

We just made plans. Plans for tomorrow night. Let's do a double date. My wife's coming do. Did I tell you I'm not with Discovery anymore? We just made plans. Let's do a double date. My wife's coming, too. Oh, yeah? Right on. Excellent. But anyway, the point is, comics have been already coming here. Tony Hinchcliffe started moving here.

He moved here. Brian Redband moved here. Tom Segura is going to move here, but he just broke his arm and his leg. How the fuck do you do that? Dunking at 46. Tried to dunk. Yeah. Wasn't good. Yeah, he fell.

Blew his patella tendon out. Then he fell. Snapped his arm in half. It's not good. Okay. Remind yourself. Have you talked to him at all? Don't try to jump. Just about how he was trying to dunk. Trying to do it. I talked to him yesterday. He's not good Okay Remind yourself Have you talked to him at all? Don't try to jump Just about how he was trying to dunk Yeah Trying to do it

I talked to him yesterday He's not doing good He still has this rehabilitation center He can't move And he's like But once it's all done He said He'll actually be stronger

Than he was before the injury What is he Fucking Bionic man? Yeah yeah yeah We built him back He's better Michael Let them pump you up with steroids. Let's see what happens.

Let's go, Tommy Buns. Let's go. There's a lot that are going to move here. Tim Dillon. Even Chappelle's been thinking about it. We were talking about it. Somebody asked him on stage the other night. He's like, man, I might.

Why not? I mean, why are you going to take that taxation that you guys have out there? It's not just the taxation There's a vibe here that I think is really nice It's very cool here Texas is so awesome Texas is great All of Texas is great

People ask me all the time because I travel a lot They're like, dude, where would you live? And I'm like, Texas is pretty fucking cool I like it It's pretty fucking cool. I like it. It's pretty fucking cool. I wanted to be here forever. But it was hard talking anybody else in my family into it because L.A. was so nice to us until the pandemic.

And then it was easy. I took the kids down here once. And we had to go into a restaurant inside. I'm like, yeah, you wear a mask. They fucking temperature check you. You're not sick. You haven't had a sign of thing. Sit down. Eat like a normal person.

They test their employees. We can do this. Have you spent any time in Dallas? I love Dallas. Dallas is rad. I fucking love Dallas. I love it. I would live there. But this was like where everybody agreed. Yeah, but you can't get... Can you get direct out of Austin to LA?

I don't know. I think you have to connect through Houston or Dallas. I mean, the pandemic changes a lot of flights everywhere, but there's at least one on a couple different airlines every day. Yeah, I see. Yeah, out of Dallas you can get a flight to L.A. or New York about every hour. Yeah, but you could just fly to Dallas. That's like a five-minute flight.

I know, but I don't have your kind of money. I don't have a jet. That five-minute flight to Dallas? You've got to look at the good and the bad. It's 40 minutes. The good thing about it being semi-difficult is it's going to discourage pussies. People that are afraid of a 40-minute flight. Yeah.

You afraid of getting up a little bit earlier? People that are afraid of a 40-minute flight. Yeah. You afraid of getting up a little bit earlier? Well, see, my problem was the 35 freeway between Austin and Dallas. It's called I-35. Yeah. They've been working on that fucker since I was born.

Okay? It's been under construction since I was born. And it's just the worst road, the worst everything, speed traps everywhere. And so I went in and flew this time. I'm like, fuck it, I'm flying. How long is the flight? Like 40 minutes. How's a 40-minute flight when it's a three-hour drive?

Just around that, 40, 45, whatever. It should seem like shorter, right? I mean, that's what it is to Vegas from LA, you know, depending on how fast they can get up. Yeah, but Vegas is like four hours if you pedal to the metal. Yeah. It's because of the hill, though. Oh.

You know, if it was flat. But I mean, I literally live walking distance from the front door of the airport, you know? And so it's- It's good and bad to everything. But it sucks coming down 35 or going up it. There's always construction, always crap, and it has been for 50 freaking years. Good. Don't move here, people. Yeah, don't move here.

It's a bad spot. This is a horrible place to be. Don't come to Texas. The food is insane here. If you think you know what barbecue tastes like, you don't know shit. You need to go to Terry Black's. Oh, come on. Matt Pittman can throw down something a little better.

He can throw down something. And I can. You come out to Dallas and I'll cook for you. I'd be happy to have you cook for me, but don't you dare disparage Terry Black's. You stop. I have not had Terry Black's, so I do not know. I need to get in line with Franklin's. I need to bite the bullet.

Because everybody says it's worth the line. I'm like, how can you say that in a place that has the most insane barbecue ever? Can it really be worth the line? The line is long at that place. Yeah. Is it long right now? It must be extra long because you've got that six-foot social distancing thing. Yeah.

Can't just be on the didn't want to do it. They're up on I-35 waiting on barbecue. Yeah, right? Like, it would be triple the line normally, right? Normally a three- to four-hour line on a weekday. Who the... Can we pay people to wait in that line? They do.

They have a whole business. Yeah, because at Onnit, we did that. Onnit hired someone to wait in line so we could get food. Oh, so I got a question on that stuff, because I hear you talking about it. Does it work? Yeah. What do you mean? Strength and conditioning works.

The Onnit. Supplements. The AlphaBrain. AlphaBrain. That's the one. It definitely works. What does it do? It improves your memory.

What? They did two double-blind placebo-controlled studies at the Boston Center for Memory, and they showed increase in verbal acuity, your ability to remember words, your ability to form sentences, increase in your memory. And there's a few other things. Oh, alpha flow state, which I don't know how they measure. But what it does for me is here's how to look at it. You're never the same person. If you're hungover, you're not, your brain doesn't work as well.

At least mine doesn't. I don't know you, right? My brain does not work that good when I'm tired. My brain does not work that good if I worked out too hard and then I come here. I'm not the same person every day. And anybody who's listening to this podcast will know that There's days that I'm very articulate And there's days that I sound like a fucking idiot

You know And that's just the average of being a person Correct And living a stressful life Alpha brain in particular There's a lot of nootropics that I like I try There's a gum that I take called NeuroGum

There's another company that makes this thing called NeuroOne. That's Bill Romanowski, the football player's company. It's a really good... They're called Nootropics. And then there's another one called TrueBrain.

But the company that I am one of the owners of is on it, and we make one too. Ours is called AlphaBrain. And I think it's the best one that I am one of the owners of is on it, and we make one too. Ours is called AlphaBrain. And I think it's the best one that I've ever used, but opinions vary. But I'm just saying what we know for a fact because it's the only one that I know of that's been – had two double-blind placebo-controlled studies that showed efficacy. It does improve your memory. It does improve your ability

to form sentences but it's you might not notice it like if you're a person and you don't have like a very uh a difficult job that makes you think on the fly and have you work at amazon yeah you might be a dude who just runs around. But for me, it's valuable. It's very valuable. But it does work. So I'm going to grab, because you've got some samples out there. I'm going to grab a bunch of those. Whatever you want, man.

And I'm going to report to my followers what I find out. Another thing that's good, because you just started working out, is the Shroom Tech. Shroom Tech Sport. It's a cordyceps mushroom supplement. So it's, cordyceps mushrooms were discovered – I think they were discovered or they first started using them like publicly, the Chinese Olympic team. And they started breaking all these records in track and field and they're breaking all these records in terms of endurance sports. There's something of – what did they – there was something about cordyceps mushrooms. I'm kind of talking out of my ass.

I'm trying to remember the benefits that they found from it. And then other athletes started finding out about it. But it increases your ability to absorb oxygen and increases your endurance. Yeah, you've talked about that breathing thing, too. I don't know what the fuck that is. Breathing thing. You take the breaths. I don't know what the fuck that is. Breathing thing. You take the breaths. I don't know.

I saw something. But anyways. There it goes. It may boost exercise performance. Cordyceps are thought to increase the body's production of the molecule adenosine trifosate, which is essential for delivering energy to the muscles. It's the shit. It really does work.

It may improve the way your body uses oxygen, especially during exercise. Okay. And not to get on a commercial and stuff that you kick and love, but CDB. CBD. And energy drink. Yeah. You just did that thing. And Id and energy drink yeah you you just did that thing and i have an energy drink so how does that work because i thought it's supposed to calm you down and then you're supposed to get up and well it's like an oxymoron what's in the the cbd energy drinks from uh kill cliff yeah so we're the 25 milligrams of cbd which is Kill Cliff, yeah. It's a show where 25 milligrams of CBD,

which is definitely good for you, and there's a lot of electrolytes that are really good for you, but I don't think the energy comes from a lot of caffeine. I think it's more B vitamins and stuff like that, which is good for you. That's my drink, too. Look, CBD, however you can get it,

whether it's from tinctures, drops or gotcha i like gummies that shit is just great for you it's just the the big problem there's a lot of problems people have but one of the big ones is inflammation and anything you can do to reduce inflammation in your life is good whether it's uh through diet change or through c construction. Here it goes. Okay. Here it goes. The endocannabinoid system. Phytocannabinoids or plant cannabinoids

bind with cannabinoid receptors and send a message to the body to do certain things like help regulate motor control, immune function, reproduction, sleep, appetite, mood, pleasure, pain, fertility pain fertility memory and temperature that you could if you want and you have the time you can get into it and try to figure out what the fuck um benefit you would get from cbd but for me it's a no-brainer it's 100 beneficial to me in terms of of soreness, sore joints, and weird shit that happens to my body from just beating it up.

And also anxiety and relaxation. I love taking it before I go to bed. I'd use CBD, MD, the oil. I just take a bunch of it before I go to bed. It just chills me the fuck out. See, I've got to learn about all this stuff. I'm like a um i guess an old soul i just drink till i go to sleep there's nothing wrong with that either

if you want to do it that way look how long are we going to be here bro you and i were already uh we passed the mark where are we at we're in the 50s when we were kids 50 year olds were dead well it's like marriage. Till death do us part was invented when they were about 30. It was death. Yeah. People didn't have a good age expectancy. Yeah.

It was a rough time to be a person back then. No CBD. No Kill Cliffs. It's hard to get. You had to grow your own weed. I'm sure they all knew how. Maybe. They're probably just too busy working to the death with no vitamins.

Whoever figured out vitamins, how to take them, that guy changed everything. You know? But didn't you just get your vitamins from the farm field? But did you really? I don't know. Maybe that's why people died at 30. They're eating fucking shitty corn and wheat. No vitamins.

Just passing out. Falling over. Hitting their head on rocks. I just recently got a gym, so I don't understand all this workout stuff. You picked a weird time to start. I do not understand at all. But you got a trainer. That's the good move. Yeah, I got a good a good trainer he comes in he's all happy and stuff and i'm like fuck you

dude i don't even want to do this look at this i've rubbed my elbow raw on this table i have crazy calluses on my table yeah on my uh elbow rather from this table from all the years is that a is that a thing? Elbow callus? Yeah, for sure. You get those. You do a lot of podcasts. So when you're doing your podcast, is the podcast going to be similar to what you're talking about for a television show? Like food, travel, the whole deal?

Or are you going to just talk about life? I think it's going to be a little bit of everything. But I'm also going to take people out of the room, so to speak and be able to talk about okay i did this on tuesday oh and you're going to go on the road with recordings and this would happen and uh this was video and audio yeah that's the move yeah i think that's the move you should go into business with me i'll help you i'll just tell people where to go. I got a follower, too. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe not after this.

Come on. What have you done wrong? I haven't done anything wrong. Nothing wrong. No. Right? I don't even think I'm getting... Not a part of this show that I'm nervous about.

I don't even think I'm getting pinged on the $25,000 per occurrence with my contract with Discovery yet. So if they were the best boss in the world... Right. Right? I think I'm getting pinged on the $25,000 per occurrence with my contract with Discovery. So if they were the best boss in the world, right? And they treated me like gold because I was their star, then why would they put it in the contract that I couldn't talk about them unless it was favorably or it would cost $25,000? You couldn't talk shit. Yeah.

Maybe it's worth it. Maybe it's worth it sometimes to give up. Oh, I've thought about it. Thought about it. Don't fuck off. I know. Maybe it's worth it. Maybe it's worth it sometimes to give up. Oh, I've thought about it. Thought about it. Don't fuck off. I know. Your stupid social media ideas. You're tempting me so badly.

People with children. Think about throwing down 25 grand right now right here and just being like, eh. But I'm not sure where it stops. Do you get one statement or two statements? It's not necessary. It's not necessary. You had a deal. You made a deal. You made a deal.

You got to be a man. That's right. The deal was don't talk shit. So don't talk shit. But that is a weird thing. I don't think that that's a deal that you would take, sir. No, I wouldn't take it. I wouldn't do it.

There's no fucking way. I don't know what to do then. If I can't talk shit, what am I going to do? Wait a second. So I get away from you, but I can't talk shit. No. I think I probably have something in the Spotify contract if I went and looked at it. Probably not supposed to be mean.

Dude, it's probably 25 fucking pages, 250 pages long. How big is it? I don't know. What should I tell you? I'll tell you the funny thing about contracts. I just saw the first one the other day when me and my lovely wife got married about a year ago i come in and i'm like honey you know um i'm the guy on tv so i i hate it but we have to deal with the financial aspects of you know getting married so i hand her know, like maybe 50 pages contract,

prenup, that kind of thing. And of course she was, uh, she was married to a billionaire. And she goes, Oh, I'm glad you brought that up. Puts down the fucking phone book. It's like her own. It's like four inches tall. Couldn't be like two pages. Like, I don't want your shit.

You don't want my shit. Let's just be together. Ah, we wanted that. But, you know, the lawyers dictate other things. Fucking lawyers. But you need them sometimes. Nah, but she's the best. Otherwise you would be fucked with this restaurant.

Ah, she's the best thing in my life and the restaurant's the worst thing in my life. So I'm doing good. So lawyers are important. Yes, they are. It's a weird thing when people get involved with businesses. Money. I could get more if I have someone who negotiates better for me. Yeah, but I found out that, I don't know if you have an agent or a manager and all that shit.

I found out they all suck. No, they don't all suck. They don't really work. You're in a different business than me, so it's different. I'm in the comedy business, and then the podcast thing sort of came along along the way. But managers are very important in comedy comedy and they're very important in um like even in podcasts like if you you need someone who's going to coordinate with an agent that sells ads and someone who does the business aspects of it or you're fucked you're then

you're going to be thinking about that on your own and you only have you know when we talked about the slice of the pie you only have so much brain space going to be thinking about that on your own, and you only have, you know, when we talked about the slice of the pie, you only have so much brain space. You can't be filling that brain space up with how much money should me undies give me. You know, you don't have time for that. So you need someone. If you want to do your best work,

this is my opinion, you can think about optimizing the amount of profit you do, but the problem with that is oftentimes when you do that, you do that at an expense. The expense is the quality of the profit you do. But the problem with that is oftentimes when you do that, you do that at an expense. The expense is the quality of the work you do because you're thinking about money instead of thinking about being you and being free and then concentrating on doing the best job you can

as an entertainer. I agree. But what about the fact that when you reach a certain level, like you and I have, where people come to you and they're like, hey'm the ceo of blah or i'm the ceo of this and i want to do some business with you and then you have to turn it over yeah and give up 10 20 you know between the two i see where you're coming from but here's my perspective the only reason why i am in the position that i'm in now is because i have these

relationships and they helped me get to where i am and we're in it for the long haul and i don't i'm not going to notice 10 i'm not going to think about that what i what i notice is the bad vibes of not having the same agent or the bad vibes of i've had the same manager since i was an open mic comedian i will never get rid of my manager but this this is beneficial for everybody it's beneficial for them and it's beneficial for so companies are coming to me but why am i me i'm me because i worked with them and they helped me become me and one of the ways they helped me become me is by alleviating concerns about money and about business i don't have to think about that i don't like to think about that i'm busy i like to think

about important shit like muscle cars and talking shit that's those are important things for me so i don't i don't want to think about percentages and fucking long haul stuff. I'd rather other people think about that. People who have a vested interest, they're invested in that success. So you're a team. But do those people bring you deals? Some of them bring me deals. But the point is, if it wasn't for them coordinating and facilitating, it wouldn't happen. I'm not going to do that. I'm not that guy. I'm not going to do that.

I'm not that guy. I'm not going to be a guy who goes out and chases down deals. Even if someone comes to me, I'm not going to know how to negotiate or how to do it right. I will wind up getting far less money than the 10% I give them. I get it. Yeah. You just have to think about it in terms of a instead of thinking about like oh I gotta get what I can

think about it in terms of like you gotta it's feast or famine I'm a feast person I like I like I want a buffet

I want a fucking banquet I want everybody to come and sit down yeah I don't want to think about famine I don't want to think well I need more save more and if

if I got rid of them i would have more it's not about that it's about what do they earn bring well they're your agent what do they bring that's not what do they bring they negotiate the thing they provide a service they put it together you might have i did not have that experience you have different. I did not have that experience. You have different relationships than me. Most of my life coming up through what I came up through in the last 18 years was I'd see somebody, meet somebody, even yourself. Hey, I want to be on Joe Rogan. You know, blah, blah, blah. Joe Rogan wants me on. And then I have to give that to them.

And they took credit for it. But they didn't do anything. Yeah. I made that relationship. That's a different, you have a different thing going on then. Yeah. For comedians, I always recommend find someone that you can trust. And then let them know early on, like, we're in this for the long haul.

Like, I'm not interested in, like, jumping around with different managers. Let's just. I never changed. I only kept the same all the way through until it was done. But the problem was other people were coming to you with things and they weren't bringing you these things, but they were getting the percentage. Yeah. In close to 10 years, I had my team bring me one deal out of 50. Well, that's not good.

No, it wasn't good. And they're pissed the fuck off right now that I'm saying that out loud. And I don't care because those deals came through me, and I turned it over to them, and that was it. and that was it. Well, I think managers are a lot like TV dance show hosts. Some of them are really good. Some of them are not so good.

It's like everything else, man. There's going to be people that are amazing at it, and there's going to be people that suck. And I have the exact opposite experience as you. I get like one or two every now and then come to me but most of the offers that i get come through my management never but they can't reach me either that's the other thing i'm not available to other people like if someone comes to me with an idea for a business like yeah i'm not i don't talk to people i got your cell phone i'm putting it on screen right now. You're my friend. Come on. Come on, man.

What I'm saying is business-wise, I think that there's a loyalty to a partnership. But again, this is the comedian-management relationship, comedian-agent relationship. It's a different relationship because I do a lot of live gigs. I need someone to arrange everything. That's probably a little different. It's way different. It's way different. because I do a lot of live gigs. I need someone to arrange everything. That's probably a little different. It's way different. It's way different. You're a TV personality, and it's a different gig because then you're on television,

so people come to you, and you're like, what are these management people doing for me? They're just taking a piece of money I would already get. I'm not upset about the money. I would gladly pay it. I'd probably pay double the amount if they brought me something. Right. They didn't bring me anything.

I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying. I mean, I don't care about the fee. It's a complicated world, bro. Yeah. I don't know your business. Look at him getting all nervous now. We're talking about agents.

I'm not nervous at all. Dude, I've had the same agent forever. I've had the same agent forever. I've had the same agent for 14 years, and I've had the same manager for 30, no, 29 years. Kick-ass. I'm just talking from my feelings about those kind of relationships. A lot of times people start thinking, you know, I deserve more.

I'm bringing more. I'm not who I am because of me entirely. I'm who I am because of the relationships that I have with all these other people that have allowed me to be me. Because I don't have to think. I agree 100 i'm just saying that if something comes by way then why do you pay if it came through you well because you don't want to do the fucking negotiation man you let those other people handle it that's the whole idea just because it comes to you just just because an opportunity comes to you from someone else you don't want those people that are with you agents and managers you want them to work out the details and like you should be happy hey this guy

he says he wants to do something can you talk to you and then boom they talk to that person and you don't have to think if you had to think the 10 that you would save by not by thinking about it that that money is real. I don't even care about the 10%. I just want somebody to actually work for me. We have a different situation. We're talking about two different things. See, I'm defending my own personal situation, which is very...

And I'm poo-pooing mine. Yeah. Mine is like, my people are family. So it's like, I have to defend them. It's a different thing. I get it. They're family. Not a problem.

Like legitimately, they've been with me forever. But I get it. Look, the agent and manager situation with an artist is one of the most tumultuous, controversial relationships in all show business. So I was with CAA for many years. Oh, Jesus. Okay. Yeah. Fuck was with CAA for many years. Oh, Jesus. Okay, yeah. Fuck yeah, CAA. I don't know what that stands for, but I can think of something.

But these fuckers did not even tell me that my agent no longer worked there. I just quit getting any conversation. For how long? A year. So your agent that you had a relationship with. Now he told me. He goes, hey, I've been exited. When did he tell you?

The day of. And they didn't tell you for a whole year? Never said a fucking word. Never sent an email. But did they think that he told you? No. To this day, they've never sent me an email. They've never told me anything. You're still with them no god no i canceled i canceled my thing but they've never ever done

anything i mean we're talking about the creative uh artist agency artist agency yes so they never even told me that he was gone never told me me shit, and never gave me any replacement. Here's my thought on that. I think that a lot of these places, like whether it's CAA or any big place, they have so many artists and so many deals and so many agents. They just can't keep track. They can't. Do you have a manager? I did. He was a great guy yeah his name is on trinidad my manager was awesome and my agent at uh ca was great on ship but ca failed i mean in a big way

here's the here's the the how the relationship works with comedians you have a manager and the manager talks to the agent the manager hopefully is with you forever that's my case and the agent i have a long relationship with my agent but agents are negotiable they move around they quit correct leave they go they don't have a full-time relationship with you you have a relationship with the agency but the relationship you have with the management company is permanent essentially correct yeah so it's a different deal but a lot of these places whether it's figure out the name whatever name you want what they're doing is they're trying to accumulate as much talent as possible they want hundreds and hundreds of clients and then some of them work out and some of them don't correct they just throw enough

shit against the wall without you know with a lot for the lack of a better metaphor and they hope the best stuff sticks and luckily we are shiny shit we're shiny shit we are sticky shit we're sticky shit we're sticky shit that's what we. But it's a fucking weird business for them, too. I can't imagine being in a business where I relied on someone like me. Some crazy asshole that has not followed any rule ever, that is somehow or another reasonably successful for a strange method that no one understands. method that no one understands and there's no like traditional pattern that you can follow that makes sense like a person who's a movie star or a television star i couldn't imagine working with me i couldn't imagine i mean this is you're relying on me to pay your mortgage you're relying on me to be successful so that you can i don't i don't want that job i don't

want to rely on yeah never guys like you and i we don't want that job. I don't want to rely. Yeah, never. Guys like you and I, we don't want to rely on other people. But some people are really good at it. I don't even want to rely on myself sometimes. I'm like, fuck it. That's the one thing I have. I rely on me. All right. So where are we going from here?

Where are we going from here? We just complained about show business during the pandemic. Always a dangerous move. Because most people are like, I just want to open up my fucking restaurant, you piece of shit. Gym owners, man. Fuck. Those people are getting screwed over. Because the one place that people should be going to right now when there's a health crisis is a fucking gym.

And they're being shut down there's ways to get away from that and they're not letting them just fucking such a weird time just such a weird time to the point where it doesn't seem real like you wake up in the morning and you know you brush your teeth you go what is going on today? What's going on in the world? Oh, yeah. Absolutely nothing. Oh, yeah. What's happening here? New Jersey gym, famed for defying COVID-19 lockdown, orders, fines, more than 1.2 million? They're at 1.2 million. How that possible how much are the fines well they said 1.2 million the gym has more than 60 citations totally more than 1.2 million despite not having

a single infection linked to the business after more than 83 000 visits holy shit yeah they're not gonna have that problem with me because I don't go to the gym. I've seen that guy. That's the guy in New Jersey. And what's going on with him is, he keeps saying it right there, fuck you, Murphy. What did he say? The governor, Governor Murphy.

Okay, so it's $15,497.76 per day. For a day? Well, that's real logical. Well, you should pay for a day. I'll pay.76 per day. For a day? Yeah. Well, that's real logical. Well, you should pay for a day. I'll pay for one day.

If you'll pay for a day, I'll pay for a day. Okay. We're in. I'm not fucking kidding. I'm not kidding either. All right. Done. All right.

We got it. Good. I'll pay for one day. $15,400 to that motherfucker. Sold. Boom. Yeah. We're paying for a day.

I feel like he's... Put that on the post. Yeah. Me and Joe are paying for a day. We put it on the internet. It're paying for a day. I feel like he's... Put that on the post. Yeah. Me and Joe are paying for a day. We put it on the internet. It's better than a post. I'm not kidding. No, I'm not either.

I think that's a good thing to do. And I think if we can get as many people who can chip in to chip in and pay this guy's fees. Does he have a GoFundMe, Jamie? He must. Or he's so gangster he doesn't want one. I freaking want a GoFundMe, Jamie? He must. Or he's so gangster he doesn't want one. I freaking want a GoFundMe. I ain't really mad. I've got so many crazy ideas in my head.

Like, what is this GoFundMe for? What is this guy? Does he have a GoFundMe? I don't think so. Oh. That seems weird. There's a WeStandWithTheirGym, but I don't think it's operated by them, so I don't know. What do you mean?

Someone else is profiting? Someone just started it. Yeah, you can start one for anybody. If you can figure out where the money needs to go, I'm in and he's in. Yeah, we're in. I might have found one. Hold on. We're in.

It seems like a good thing to be in on. I found one. Yeah, yeah. You did find one. Let's put it up so people can see it. Holy shit, he doesn't need our money. It's up to $352,000. He needs our money.

He's got a $100,000 goal, but that's before he realized that he was up to $1.2 million. All right. That's so crazy. So what is it? Go fund me. Omar, I guess. It's so crazy. So what is it? GoFundMe. Belmar, I guess. It's spelled weird. It's spelled A-T-I-L-I-S.

Attilis Belmawr. This is B-E-L-M-A-W-R. Attilis Belmawr. I guess that's his name. Court relief. And it's up to $350,000 out of $1.2 million. Now it's up to $380,000. Yeah, it's crazy.

You and I just jumped in. Other people should jump in too. It's like, gyms are ridiculous to close down. People are trying to get healthy, fuck. And you look at the pie chart they've showed of traceable COVID infections. And, like, the restaurant thing is so infuriating to restaurant owners because it's only 3%. 3% out of 100. Three are at these restaurants.

But yet more people are getting infected at grocery stores. More people are getting infected at grocery stores. More people are getting infected at hotels. All these different places that are open and essential. It happens. Okay. So, hey, they got to go take a pee. Go pee. I knew it.

I saw the face of Tony Hinchcliffe the other day. It was the same face. The I have to pee face. Go pee. We'll be here when you come back. Richard Rowlings, ladies and gentlemen.

He's stretching. I know, I was actually pushing my man pants down. Be right back. He needs to get himself some... Well, there's two doors here.

Yeah, we double door it. He needs to get himself some Revtown jeans. Motherfucker's got some bullshit jeans. Oh, it's locked? He's going to get back in. It'll be a while. Hilarious.

How many years can you drink like that and just be fine? Not all of that. I don't know. Sorry. Five beers deep. That's enough for me for the day. For the day? That's enough for a couple of days.

That's called pre-gaming. Pre-gaming. Well, it's also light. These light beers, they don't seem to have the same kind of kick. I had not discovered the trend until earlier this year. The White Claw, the Stelzer. Oh, you're banging a lot of chicks? It's not how it is.

It was the guys that were giving it to me. I actually went to a football game and I was like, what the fuck is this? It's like water. White claws. White claws. You haven't had one though, apparently. Listen, look at me. I got hair on my chest. You see that? Alright, alright. Oh man. Don't drink white claw. Okay.

Meanwhile, I'm a big fan of Zima. I used to like like zimas people give me so much of a hard time from z i'll bring back zimas what happened to zima i don't know i mean i was about to look but it was like an alcoholic sprite that's what this is i mean oh white claws the same yeah it's like this uh i think the guy who started like my card lemonade he's a very successful businessman oh there you go they just needed needed marketing. He needed a clause. Zima's been gone since 2008 with a re-release two years ago somehow. I was at the Improv in Hollywood, and John Henson gave me so much shit for drinking a Zima.

I was like, they taste good. Oh, smearing off ice is what is that now? Did you ever have one of those? No, same thing. That became a whole thing. You get iced. If I gave you one right now, you'd have to chug the whole thing or you're a pussy. Well, whatever Terry Vertz gave us, this Laf...

I don't even know how to say that. I don't know. It's Lafrig or Lafrig. Lafrig. Lafrig. This stuff's legit. When I was serving at a restaurant, that'd be one of the ones I would go to for some business guys. It's stiff. it's stiff it's stiff it's got this uh weird peaty sort of boggy

fucking swamp taste that's how it's tasted for 75 years yeah a lot of people love that you know who's got the best um sort of peaty bog thing going on, it's not even that. It's really like a smoky. It's that Josh Barnett shit. War Master? Mm-hmm. He's got a... It's interesting how people like different styles of whiskey. You know?

There's people that are whiskey taste testers the same way a sommelier is a wine tester. I don't want to know. Those are things that I don't want to know. I don't want to know. Those are things that I don't want to know. I don't want to have that knowledge. Richard Rawlings, back. Drain the dragon. Back in action.

Like a silly little rat at my age. Drain the silly little rat. When we get that spot with weed, that would be a great day. Where you could have a weed sommelier give you a nice little taste test. I just like getting getting high i think people get a little too do they have you get too high but like if you could just take one little taste of a little blueberry something i don't know i'm scared man don't be scared don't be scared we're in texas you'll be

fine you're protected there could be a good way yes a little taste i don't care what it tastes like i'm just trying to get fucking blasted but with those they're going too far with the terpene i mean that so like if the mad scientist gets some terpene stuff that can make you know like a steak taste better well you know uh there was an article that came out today um in the news feed that was showing that there's something in the flavors of vaping is what's fucking people up that it's not just vaping tobacco smell it's actually uh the flavors see if you can find that wait a second but i thought the vaping thing introduces too much liquid to your lung or some shit.

I think the issue, there's a multifold issue. There's a quality issue. Flavors added to vaping devices can damage the heart. Yes, that's what I saw today. The appealing array of fruit and candy flavors that entice millions of young people to take up vaping can harm their hearts. A preclinical study by the University of South Florida. Florida Alright, it's already out the window. It's fucking Florida University. They're going down there to do coke and drink tequila.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Nope. Mounting studies indicate that the nicotine and other chemicals delivered by vaping while generally less toxic than conventional cigarettes can damage the lungs and heart. But so far there has been no clear understanding about what happens when the vaporized flavoring molecules and flavored vaping products after being inhaled enter the bloodstream and reach the heart. I think part of the issue is also that these motherfuckers are doing that shit all day. I know a kid who got really sick. He had a real problem.

And he was a college kid. He was 19. And he was vaping all day. All day. That's not good. No. You can't smoke weed all day. No.

No. But vaping, there's something about... It's also the quality of the oils that they're using to make the vape. They can use some shit quality, and that stuff can... It's an irritant for the inside of your lungs. Yes. Unlike this alcohol. Oh, this alcohol is good for you.

That's what I'm saying. It's so good for you. I'm glad you agree. How good does it feel to pee when you have to pee? That was a good pee. It's one of the most underrated pleasures you know it's so underrated it's like sometimes you sit there and you're you're taking a pee and you're just like wow this feels really good this is great yeah when you really have to go and you finally get in you're like oh i don't know if i make that

in that face or not i do i don't care anybody's watching i don't care if I make that face or not. I do. I don't care if anybody's watching. I don't care. Are we lying? Are we pretending we don't like this? I like peeing. Okay, I got to look at this notes thing. You got more? Oh, I had a good one. I'm afraid to even bring this one up because I don't think we should do it,

but it is pretty funny. Bring it up. Cardi B's song. What I was supposed to say? pussy yes I didn't listen to it okay so I've been challenged by somebody on my stick you know not right now swamp ass no but I've been challenged somebody said that you guys need to recite the lyrics Whoever challenged you that needs To die Get off Twitter Yeah, to die Just go out and run

Okay, and then Start doing push-ups And then tattoos Who do we got in town? Have you gotten a tattoo here in Austin yet? I have not gotten a tattoo in Austin You gotta do that Yeah, there's a lot of good tattooists though

Okay, so There's a lot of good artists in general Food artists, a lot of good chefs Every artist is down here Yeah, there's a lot of great musicians in general food artists a lot of good every artist is down yeah there's a lot of great musicians yeah this is everything down here in austin it's it's art it's food it's it's everything in the world so if there's a good tattoo person out there uh i would like to go get a tattoo this evening this evening well the problem is the show's not going to come out until tomorrow so we're're going to have to put it on Twitter.

But if you put it on Twitter or Instagram... Well, I've got to stay until tomorrow because you said I'm going to dinner with you. Yeah. Put up your tattoos, take a photo of it, put it on Instagram, and say, hey, I'm in Austin. I'm here for a couple days. I need a fucking tattoo. Boom.

Yeah, that's pretty cool. It's better than Cardi B one. If I knew how to work that. Just put it on Instagram. You're free from Discovery Channel clutches. Let's just talk about the last line of the song. Aren't you free? Like macaroni in a pot.

I didn't listen to the song. You could be making things up. I did not know. You'd be like the cat in the hat. The Grinch stole Christmas. I don't know what it says. How does he steal Christmas? He's near Whoville.

Didn't steal it for the whole world. Okay, so my new big thing I was going to ask about this is, you know, you're saying you want 1,000 acres. Yeah, around there. 1,000, 2,000. See, I want an expedition vehicle. Ooh. Like what kind? Well, there's a company called Earth Roamer. Yes. Yes. Oh, we featured them many times. Ooh. Like what kind? Well, there's a company called Earth Roamer.

Yes. Yes. Oh, we featured them many times. Yeah. They make some dope shit. I want one of those. They make like million dollar vehicles. Yeah, I don't want to pay that.

Yeah, you shouldn't. That's a lot. I do want one of those fuckers. I think you can make that. You don't... Do you need a company? Well, I couldn't do the extruded The body The body

Look at that Come on son Come on That is a pandemic vehicle If I ever saw one So I want one of those fuckers And I want to drive around I would love to drive from Dallas, Texas

All the way to Brazil Oh Jesus you're going to get killed What kind of gas tank does that thing have? Well, I would assume it's a regular gas tank. Scroll up. Look at the interior. Yeah. Look at that. See, mine wouldn't look like that. It'd have all plush. Go full screen. Look at this. I'd have plush pillows

and a bed. Look at that fucking place, though, man. That is so amazing. Yeah, and I don't even know this company, so I'm not even punting them for freaking money. Well, I don't know them either, but we've talked about them multiple times. I want one of these things. We've talked about them how many times, Jamie?

Six? Sure, yeah. I want one of those. Actual podcast family. Yeah. This is amazing. I want one of those things. So if you're listening to Earth Roamer, I need it for free.

There's certain people that get to a certain point in their life where they're like why am i just staying in one spot i just want to live i just want to drive around and go see moab go see upstate new york uh nobody goes there but i mean let's pretend and you know go see um 115 gallons of diesel holy Holy shit. Wow. That's crazy. That's a giant tank, man. God, that's so much money to fill it, though. 115 is not a giant tank. Really? We had 26 in our original tank and then 40 in our backup tank for the Cannonball Run.

So about half. I don't know. Listen, that's a lot of fucking gas. Next level in luxury overland vehicles. That's a fact. If you're one of those people that just doesn't want to live in an apartment, just want to travel around. Dude, fuck that.

You get one of those. Go to state parks. And you go take the Joe Rogan experience on the road. You're meeting with different people and different pieces of life. I'm busy. Good luck with that, Richard Rawlings, and your gas monkey experience on the road. Shit.

Because I'm not doing that. I wouldn't mind doing it like what Jamie said with a van, knowing it can't go that far. Take that van to a comedy show you're gonna go to from austin to san antonio to houston to san antonio to dallas holy shit look how expensive they are these are used pre-roamed they call it wow 580 grand for a used one click on that bitch yeah

get you some of that oh look how pretty that is though it's It's got 36,000 miles. They want 580 grand. That seems a little pricey. But it's pretty nice. So what is it new? Oh, shit. 750, 800. Gun safe in the back cabinet. Woo!

In the bunk cabinet. Built-in wine rack for the ladies. Oh, they got a FLIR infrared camera to spot UFOs. What are your thoughts on UFOs, Richard? Do you really want to know? Yes. I... Shit, how do I say this without sounding like a complete insane motherfucker? I don't even know how um just say it okay so take another swig and say it i think that uh there are ufos and uh well i do you think there are aliens there's a lot of things

that are unidentified but it could be i do russian chinese i do but i also don't think that uh we were ever landed on the moon whoa i went on that trip for a long time i don't believe we did i was on the i didn't i don't think we landed on the moon for a long time here's why how did you change i abandoned it talking to smart people that uh actually have enough data about what happened. It's not that it's impossible that it was faked. It's that I really have no business saying it was faked. Because if anybody's going to trust me about anything, ever, I have to be honest about everything.

And if I'm honest about that, I have not put enough time or effort into actually understanding and studying all the data that's available that indicates that we did go to the moon. I think it's fun and it's enticing to just say, I don't think we went to the moon. And I've done that. And I've even argued it successfully based on a lot of different variables. But I think at the end of the day, I don't really know what I'm talking about. Unless I want to, like, study, like, deeply, deeply study what they did, how they came to the, how they figured out how to get people on the moon, how they figured out how to get people back. Unless I want to do that, I really should shut the fuck up.

That's what I really think. I really think that because I think it's a complex issue, and I think it's so simple to look at a complex issue and just say, I believe this, or I believe that. But you really shouldn't say that unless there's a reason why you believe something. And sometimes people believe things because it sounds more fun or because it's more convenient

or because they're more conspiratorially oriented. It seems like more exciting to believe in the conspiracy. This all the things that I'm saying don't mean that conspiracies don't exist or don't mean even that that conspiracy doesn't exist. But it's just that if you want to call bullshit, you should know what you're talking about. And I don't. That's the reality. I agree with you 100 so my my rebuttal is completely different okay we are hunters and gatherers at our core from the beginning of human and if we went to some place that no one else has ever gone we would not stop we would keep going there and we would take it over even if it was worthless because

we just want at our core being and so my thought process is not are they wrong did they lie my thought process is if that really happened then we'd have w hotel on the mar on the moon right now um here's how i like to look at things i see what you're saying and what you're saying is if we would have bump we would have definitely bump here's what i say there's a high likelihood that if we went to the moon that we would continue to explore space and we would advance on the type of travel that we use to go to the moon. But we're not. And it would advance just like everything else. If you go to 1963 and you look at when Kennedy said,

we will land a man on the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy but because they are hard. In 1969, you know, when they landed a man on the moon, cars drove like shit, TVs were useless. There was so much technology that was nonsense. In 2020, we still can't really put a man on the moon right now. That doesn't mean they didn't put a man on the moon.

This is what I used to think. I used to think it meant they didn't put a man on the moon but now what i think is it's very expensive and very difficult to put a man on the moon did they do it at one point in time they said they did and i don't know if they did or didn't realistically but i do know they haven't invested the same kind of money that they used to win the space race against the russians they haven't invested that kind of money in the same way like with this competitive american spirit behind it they haven't done that since and that's allegedly what allowed them to get to the moon and to do it before the russians could we even though the russians were the first people in space the russians had all these different first first man in space first animal in space, first, there was so many, first satellite in space.

There was a monkey, by the way. Yeah, but the first man in space, too. But even, you know, the first man in space, I believe they put a man in space, but the problem with their claim is they released video footage that, what was the name, guy's name, Yuri, I'm trying to remember the first guy in space.

But the footage that they used, what they showed on television, was 100% bullshit. The footage was like a recreation of this guy in space. So they showed, because there's shadows. So there's like a light here and a light here. But the actual module, whatever the capsule was, they launched him into space. It was way too small to have a conventional camera from 1967 or whatever

the fuck it was. Well, I think we've been to space. I just don't know. That's a fact. We definitely have been to space. The question is, have they gone all the way to another body like the moon and returned? My argument's solid. We're hunters and gatherers.

We would have taken control of that. It's not really a good argument. Here's why it's not a good argument. Why is that? Because the hunters and gatherers really didn't advance for hundreds of thousands of years. What happened is agriculture. Agriculture allowed people to establish cities. Cities allowed people to build up walls so the enemy couldn't get in that easy.

And then it allowed people to think. During that thinking, that's when people advanced technology and literature and their understanding of the world itself. That's where Galileo came up with his ideas about the universe itself and that the earth wasn't the center of that universe. It's not a hunter and gather thing. It's actually actually step removed from hunter and gatherer which is agriculture agriculture which allows cities and these these places where people can be safe and they have accumulated supplies of food so they could think about things so this is what's required to go to the moon the hunter gatherer thing this is why it falls apart because hunter and gatherers would never go to the fucking moon in the first place you have to stay alive you have to feed your kids you have time to spend a couple of weeks flying to another

fucking rock that's hovering over the earth not true you want to take over and on top of that but hunter-gatherers do you do on top of that do you know that the moon's atmosphere is the most perfect for glowing the most perfect bud in the world? Says who? Oh, I just said it. There's no air up there. Oh, it's so good, bud. No, it's not true.

If you could get bud on the moon. But there's no oxygen. Plants convert oxygen, or they convert carbon dioxide to oxygen. They would release oxygen. So they'd need some carbon dioxide. There's no air. There's no nothing. There's no gases.

Throw a few shipping containers up there. Put some lights in it and get after it. Bro, you need more than that. You need giant tanks of gases that are native to Earth, that don't exist on the moon. I see what you're saying about the hunter-gatherer thing, and I see how you would think that way. We're conquerors.

We would go and take it. Hunter-gatherers were not the conquerors, man. There'd be a Hotel Zaza up there. We'd go up there and hang out and dip in the pool. Maybe, maybe, but maybe not. Maybe they would be too busy with the Cold War. Maybe they'd be too busy with all the different problems they had with the Vietnam War. Maybe they would

be too busy trying to fund education and healthcare. They don't have the money to fucking keep putting people on the moon. Maybe it's so expensive. They just can't do it all the time. I don't think it is. There would have to be a reason where you can make real money

doing it And that Therein lies the problem And a lot of people think that's also why they Canceled the shuttle program But again You're talking to a fucking idiot I don't know

Actually you're talking to two of us Two idiots Space Adventures is charging 150 million per seat a price that includes months of ground-based testing although this is on a fly-by mission bullshit will not land on the moon it's got 77 million views space tourism so 150 million per seat for space tourism and then virgin space was like 250 to go into orbit right yeah i think that's like uh yeah up and down yeah it just goes around the earth a few times like a half

yeah you just go higher than the other planes it's supposed to be mine i had terry verts on last week he spent 200 days in the space station we talked to those dudes they talk about like like there's me before i went to space and there's me. I haven't gotten to watch that yet, but I heard it's insane. It's just a heavy thing to be in space for hundreds of days. There's Blue Origin, which is Amazon's project. It's like a big balloon I kind of think you go up in, I think. I don't like how he's ripping off my boyfriend, Elon Musk. It seems like he's lying about things.

What, did he just go straight up and then come down? Yeah, more or less. There's a video of him and Elon, and Elon like years before, like accomplishing things, and then Jeff Bezos say they're going to be the first to accomplish things after Elon's already done it. Allegedly. But I'm glad that he's doing it. I'm glad that there's rich people that blow money doing crazy shit new glenn if you're rich you have to i mean that's what cuts the path for the future

go back to raise hell a really big step an orbital reusable launch vehicle that will build a road to space. You got $150 billion. That's the move, right? You're a guy like Jeff Bezos? $150 billion? Hot girlfriend? No. You think she's hot?

I like that. Yeah, I like her. Wow. She's pretty. You don't think she's hot? Oh. Okay. I'm just going to say no.

Tourism on the moon. No. She's not that hot. She's a lovely lady. How dare you? I didn't say she was a good person or not. She might not be as hot as your wife. She looks good, though. She's not as hot as my wife.

She looks good. My wife is hot. I mean, though. She's not as hot as my wife. She looks good. My wife is hot. Jesus. How many years would have to go by before you get a coronavirus vaccine and then take a tour of the moon? I know, right? How many people would have to do it successfully before you'd be like, I'm in?

I'm not against any of it. I mean, I'm not a bad guy. I'm just thinking, fuck. It doesn't mean you're a bad guy. Let's just shoot some shit in you. If you don't want to die in space. You know what the biggest thing, especially with you and me, we have to travel. We just gave up our DNA.

What, with the nose swab? Yeah. Gave up your DNA. Yeah. You give up your DNA every time you leave a Starbucks cop in the fucking garbage. Well, this is true. Yeah, listen, don't worry about your DNA. Who's out there scratching up your DNA every time you leave a Starbucks cop in the fucking garbage. Well, this is true. Yeah, listen. Don't worry about your DNA.

Who's out there scratching up your DNA? The problem is, like, who's collecting it? What are they doing with it? It's like, this is the funniest thing. You'll like this, being a comedian. I was being interviewed when my first show was coming on. So it was Monday morning. My show was going to come on that night.

And it was going to be... First show ever. First show ever. You know, it was fast and loud. Episode one. And the lady's interviewing me that morning at the local news channel in Dallas. She goes, so, you know, you grew up here in Dallas, Fort Worth. Do you have any kids?

And I said, well, we'll find out in the morning and the whole the whole little room of newsroom people were like oh shit what are we doing with that yeah that's stand up comedy talk yeah so there was no extra kids only my

one kid Chandler so I did good that night. What does this have to do with vaccines and putting people on the moon? It has nothing to do with vaccines and putting people on the moon. Jesus Christ. How many years would have to go by before people were doing commercial space flight, before you decided to just take a shot, see what's up? I think it could happen tomorrow.

If somebody comes to you with a solid concept we're gonna put you in space bring you right back down to earth i don't think space has a big deal right now i think that it's a big business uh and the fact that uh all the richest people in the world are in it prove it you know that'd be like, my gosh, you can't ship this package. It's going to be $5,000 on FedEx. Nah. The fact that the richest guys in the world are in it means it's very cheap and you can get the hell out of here. Is that what it means? I think it means there's a lot of, like, benefit in being one of the people that innovates in space travel.

benefit in being one of the people that innovates in space travel if you could come up with a thing where you send people into space and every time you do it you could charge someone 100 grand and you get like a million people a year to give up 100 grand and go flying into space that's a lot of fucking money it's only 100 million dollars a million people yeah that's right yeah i mean i don't want to talk about your past or anything. No, it's not 100. It's 100,000. Yeah, it's like three extra zeros. Yeah, it's not 100 million.

That's 100 billion. Well, that's when you start moving commas and not zeros. Well, that's when you do math. Yes. So, like, if you're Jeff Bezos and you can make $100 billion doing that, I mean, you wouldn't make $100 billion. What if you make $50 every year just putting people into space? That seems very valuable.

It's going to become a commodity very quickly. Yeah, putting people in space. But space is just a high-flying airplane. Right. But if people are willing to spend a lot of money doing it, and then if you can figure out a way to escape Earth's gravity and land on Mars or land on Europa, one of the moons. Eh.

I'll wait to see it. Figure out a way to fucking fly around venus and come back home what the fuck is the point the point is the experience just like the point of going to everest like is the point being at the highest spot like who gives a fuck if you end up the highest spot nobody gives a shit but the point is the experience the experience of going there and and knowing that it's a difficult thing to do. It gives you an unusual vision, an unusual perspective, an experience that few people rarely see. Ad block, you motherfucker.

Got to disable ad blocker, son. It gives you an option. That's bullshit. Tickets to Mars will eventually cost Less than $500,000 Elon Musk says Well thank you Elon What a bargain Only a half a million

I could fly all the way around the fucking earth And stop 72 times for 500 grand But if they really do get to that point And they probably will Look if you go back to The invention of the first automobile In like the 1800s and then you look at what they can do today with like uh jamie has a tesla model x they go shut the fuck up bro

they're great it goes they go zero to 60 so fast it doesn't seem right and it's a suv they're so fast have you driven one ludicrous mode yeah Yeah. I haven't. I have Lucas Plus. Have you driven one like that? Yeah. They're preposterous. They're so fast. It is insane. So you go from that old car that was like, you know, fucking 20 horsepower to what he's got. It's insane. Now

go a thousand years from now. There's no way you can guess. And if you look at what we can do right now, if commercial space flight is a real thing and they're flying people into orbit, there is no doubt in my mind that whatever the amount of time it is, whether it's 50 years or 100 years from now,

they're going to absolutely have space flight to Mars and bring people home. They'll probably come up with some new propulsion system, some fucking wild, crazy shit that we haven't even thought of before, and it'll change everything. It's not going to happen with this giant go straight up. It's going to have to be something that circumnavigates and gains speed. Alien technology.

Nah, I don't know about alien technology, but it's going to have to be something that circumnavigates and gains speed. As long as you say circumnavigates, I think you know what you're talking about. What? Imagine being at NASA. What you guys need to do is fucking circumnavigate. Exactly.

Get it around. It's not going to go straight up, boys. Never go straight up. There are spins. You've got to go with the spin of the earth. Never go straight. Go forward. It doesn't go straight. It looks not going to go straight up, boys. Never go straight up. The earth spins. You've got to go with the spin of the earth. Never go straight. Go forward. It doesn't go straight.

It looks like it's going straight. But it goes straight in relationship to where you're standing, but not in relationship to the way the earth's spinning and the way the fucking planets are aligned. It's all complicated. Another fucking ad pop up. Jesus, dude. That just doesn't even work anymore.

I thought you were supposed to be really good at this. He's the best. That's not the problem. The problem is pop up ads. NASA is launching a 4G mobile network on the moon. Yeah, well, when I have 6G, I'm not going to settle for 4G on the moon, you fucks. That's like getting like 1X in the Amazon. Who the fuck's getting it on the moon?

Assholes. How many customers are on the moon right now? Jeff Bezos is going to be with that girl that you don't even like on the moon drinking martinis. I just wasn't impressed with her. I mean, if I was worth hundreds of billions of dollars, I think I could do better. I got to pee too. So we can either wrap this up or I could pee and we keep going.

Well, I don't care. I'll be right back. Oh yeah? You going to fucking dare me? What do you got, your notes? Oh, I'm just picking up my... Have you thought about what I said about space travel? Yes, and I'm not disagreeing. What I'm telling you is, as a race, we take over shit. We try.

We go and grab shit. We take over it. We fight about it. We say, this is our land. This is your land. Right. If we'd have been in the moon, we'd be up there. The argument is that every single technological achievement from 1969 is easier, cheaper, and faster to reproduce today except going to the moon.

That's the argument. I say wrong because I was born in 69. That was fucking cheap what do you mean the argument is that everything from then you could do cheaper today and easier like televisions yeah but they say you can't well they didn't work at it that's the problem it's the only thing they didn't work at the only other things they didn't work at is like... How much innovation have there been in air flight? Like commercial air travel?

Not much. Propellers? It's been 100 years, right? In 1969, they were already flying jets. When did they start flying jets? Yeah. Oh, I guess, yeah. Well, then the Concorde...

They stopped, sort of, I guess, with the Concorde. And then they're like, oh. Or they're not telling us. Or they're not telling us how far they've made it in space. Well, the Concorde killed people that they can't kill. What was that, getting you to France in like two hours or something? Something crazy? Couldn't it have gone faster? They just kept it there?

Or no? I don't know. I think the thing that happened to them was on the runway. I think it lost a wheel or was on the runway i think it lost a wheel or something on the runway and killed a bunch of rich people or ran into a tire something like that low passenger numbers and rising maintenance costs i mean it was kind of expensive wasn't it wasn't it sure sorry i blew my nose i mean it's going supersonic speed you know i mean how the fuck does it not break?

It wasn't that bad. What wasn't that bad? The price. For some reason in my head, I thought it was like thousands and thousands of dollars. How much was the ticket? It says the fare was about $500 or just over $1,000. In what year? When did they stop?

1990? 1999. That's kind of crazy. That was the Concorde. Sorry. Stopped in 2000. That's kind of crazy That was the Concorde That's kind of crazy if you think about progression

In 2000 you could fly at supersonic speeds commercially You can't do that now So that kind of throws a monkey wrench into the idea that things always get better When they cost too much money they don't always get better

I don't think it cost too much money They were complaining about the sound and the sonic boom oh yeah that too right yeah yeah but I think there was also a danger of it it's like people a bunch of the last flight I think a bunch of people died that were very wealthy is that true only 13 13? Oh, yeah. That's a little more than 13. That's fucking serious. Yeah.

And a lot of them were very wealthy. I think when you get hit with those lawsuits, like... So that's one of those things that from 2000 to 2020 did not get better. It actually stopped. You know, it's a lot of money to get people on the fucking moon. It's just one of those things where I think eventually they'll get to space tourism and it'll expand past the moon, it'll go to Mars, and

it's gonna happen. But it might happen 100 years from now. You know, it might happen 200 years from now. We might be shocked at how long it takes. Well, then you're pleading my case right there. Why am I pleading your case? Because we haven't been there. Might have did it takes. Well, then you're pleading my case right there. Why am I pleading your case? Because we haven't been there.

Might have did it once. Yeah. Might have did it once with a bunch of fucking cowboys. Okay, you went to high school or even elementary school in the 70s, right? And you studied history. Mm-hmm. Have you ever seen a picture of the flag on the moon? Of course I have.

No, through a telescope oh me do you know they don't have telescopes that could actually see that that clearly yes they can really yes do you know that have you seen it they don't work that way they don't like the there's a there's a like a long distance thing and then there's a close distance thing like you could use magnifying things like binoculars and telescopes that are like low magnification and you can get like a good image of something's not too far away but then when they started getting too far away yes the flag is still on the moon but you can't see it using a telescope the hubble is not pointed at the flag here goes the hubble space telescope is only 2.4 meters in diameter, much too small.

Resolving the larger lunar rover, which has a length of 3.1 meters, would still require a telescope 75 meters in diameter. So we're the most badass country in the fucking world. And we put a man on the moon and he planted a fucking flag. And we ain't showing that off. Right. I mean, because we're, as a country, we're like Burt Reynolds. What are you going to do? We're going to show off.

That's what we do. But did you read what that thing just said? I get your country wisdom where you're looking at it and you're like, if we had this, we would have that. But if you look at that thing, it's saying that the Hubble only has a thing that's 2.4 meters and you need something much larger. Was it 75? 75 meters, which is almost a football field size to be able to see what's on the moon. They didn't have the Hubble before. They didn't have the ability to take these high definition

images of things that were way far away. Now they do. But to have something that gets really close to things, you need something that's even more potent. It's all for people not like you or me. We're arguing about shit that we don't study. I don't even care

about it, to tell you the truth. I'm just telling you. You brought it up on a podcast millions of people are listening i'm totally screwed now uh whatever i said gas monkey barn real god that you're in a fucking argument with he's gonna bring that to court fuck that fucker this guy's crazy he thinks neil armstrong's a liar. So, what's next, sir? Aliens. I don't care about aliens. You think they're paying attention? Personally, I don't.

If you were an alien, wouldn't you be fascinated by hot rod culture? Well, I met an old guy a long time ago, and he put it to me the right way. an old guy a long time ago and he put it to me the right way he goes what if you're just a experiment in a young kids school project what if all this that you built is basically an amp form that you have in your head and you're just an amp form in somebody else's head and somebody else's head it's kind of like the matrix i don don't know if that defines us, but it is kind of interesting. I mean, you can't think that you're the only thing out there or we're the only thing out here. If we are an ant farm and we don't know that we're an ant farm, and we're living, and we understand how the ant farm works, the real problem is if the owner of the ant farm shows up.

Up until then, we're just living. If this really is some complex ant farm for people, we're having fun. It's all good. Yeah. The problem. We got some weed. We got some drinks.

We're having fun. We're making money. Not making money. The problem. We got some weed. We got some drinks. We're having fun. We're making money. Not making money. Talking about cars. Talking shit. Everything's fine. The real problem is if the ant farm owner shows up. That's the problem with these fucking UFOs that keep showing up.

The ones that the New York Times puts on the front page of their newspaper. Is that a real newspaper? Yeah. It's a real paper. They do it in New York State. It's a city called Manhattan. Well, no, I've been there. I don't know about it.

I just don't know about New York Times being a paper. Well, they're more often a paper than they are not. Sometimes they fuck things up, but they're more often accurate than not. Yeah, they were more accurate in the past than they are now now they're I lodge ideologically driven they tend to be a bit woke but they're still probably the best newspaper on earth she's a woke yes woke you know woke this rules you know the work woke rules you don't give a fuck about those right I do not

mean yeah um but do you think that aliens have visited I'm gonna give it a 50-50 I'm gonna probably lean towards yes is this anything you think about on a regular basis? Only when I'm jacking off. Because that alien pussy, you know what I'm saying? You want to duck me, motherfucker? Come get some. Come get some. Could be sideways. Who knows?

Alien pussy. Imagine. Imagine if that was a trick. I mean, if aliens are smart enough To figure out what we find attractive They would just tune into that In the most perfect way Like find out some things that we're attracted to

That we didn't even know And just bring it to us You know That's the coolest shit I've ever seen Yeah I mean like fish lures Here's a perfect example. Do you fish? I have.

Okay. There's some fish lures that don't look anything like a fucking fish. They don't look like anything a fish would eat. Like a crankbait or... No, a spinnerbait. You know what a spinnerbait is? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

It's got the big crazy tail. And the other thing next to it is spinning around. Through the water, yeah. Jamie, show a spinnerbait video. the other thing next to it through the water jamie show show a spinnerbait i got it let's pull it through the water it's spinning yeah and it drives a largemouth bass fucking crazy yeah see that thing and they're like god damn it i can't take it anymore i set the lake record at lake Granbury in like 1978 or 79 For a largemouth bass Did you really? With a spinning oar How big was it?

I want to say it was like 13 pounds Wow It was a big fish That's a big fish Yeah I'd have to go back I have the clipping So I will go back and post this at a later date

That's a fucking hell of a fish yeah i have the clipping where i'm holding it like this you got anything jamie that's just when people are using them not like just so uh uh spinnerbait in action nothing well just show a picture of a spinnerbait just give me an image of it just so people see. This thing is nothing like anything that a fish... Oh, there it is. So, like, it's almost like a little fish chasing an octopus. It doesn't make any sense. It's such a weird device.

But largemouth bass go fucking crazy. What if aliens figure out some sort of a version of that for people thank you you know you feel me they will you know i'm saying like what if what we find attractive they go oh no you don't even know what you think is actually attractive you want to check with not regular tits but teeth just chomping teeth all you know like whatever whatever the fuck don't fuck with my tit world. You saw my girl out there. I'm sorry. I didn't mean tits. Let's say eyes. Extra eyeballs.

Would they be scrutinizing? A man likes a woman with warm, accepting, seductive eyeballs. What if she's got four of them? I wouldn't trust her. That's the combo. You? Like literally, what if, I wouldn't trust her. That's the combo. Four eyes.

I couldn't trust her. You get used to it. No, I couldn't do it. Oh, okay. You'd be like, no way.

But if they were running this ant farm and they figured that out, that would be our issue. You all right? Jamie's leaving us. Shit. Oh, I think they're bringing in coffee.

Well, now we can fuck shit up. So we can, yeah, dad's gone. Yeah, James is gone. Let's talk about some cool shit. shit oh i think they're bringing in coffee well now i can fuck shit up so we can yeah dad's gone yeah james is gone let's talk about some cool shit let's talk about jamie's sneaker issues oh god thank you very much thank you who needs coffee bring this off who needs it me i eventually have to get out of here. On the road again. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. I can't wait to get on the road again.

So do you have a, for the people that are following you, like your fans at home, do you have a map of when they can expect all this new content, these new ideas? No, actually, I haven't even told anybody until today. Cheers.

Sir? You haven't at all? No. I've been very quiet about it. Well, cat's out of. Cheers, sir. You haven't at all? No. I've been very quiet about it. Well, cat's out of the bag, sir. The cat is out of the bag. I'm unemployed, desperate, trying to find a show. Just don't know what I'm going to do.

It's a good time. It's a good time for transitions. Shit to get weird. You know? This is a good time. Because the whole world's weird. It forces people to figure out like what's the best version of what they want to do well you know none of my

competition if there was any competition is passing me up because they ain't working either right and there's not really i mean that's the point right there's not much you know as far as like uh tv with you uh in podcasts, you're the very top of the line. And in my world, I'm kind of the top of the line. I know that sounds like an asshole statement. No, but it's true, though. But it's true. Isn't it funny that you got there from personality?

Like, that is really what it is. It's love of the thing, but it's also personality. The personality got you there. Have you ever had coffee and tequila? Have I? Yes, I have. That's good for you. So I'm lucky enough to be where I'm at,

lucky enough to be going through the experience that I'm in, and kind of enjoy it, you know? Just have to wait and watch. Spilt a lot of shit on your table, but I don't care. It's good. It's good for the table. But isn't it good to have things happen where you don't really know what the future holds? It gives you energy.

It makes you, you know, makes you energized. It does. It's the coolest thing in the world. Yeah. When you're so focused and you're in this thing, i was with fast and loud forever and then it's gone you're like yeah yeah what's next now let me think yeah you know because before i couldn't think you guys had a sizable fan base too um do you have a way do are you using your social media like when did you like what kind of raps did they have on your social media Like when did you Like what kind of

Raps did they have on your social media And when did that The only thing they had was I couldn't post But You couldn't post anything But Richard couldn't At all Wow

Nothing Like hey I went and got pizza Nothing Gas monkey could But Richard couldn't Wow Nothing? Not like hey I went and got pizza Nothing? Gas monkey could But Richard couldn't Oh my god That's insane I couldn't have written a note on a post-it note

A picture of myself And put it on a telephone pole They literally came and got me That seems so stupid. I know nothing. So you stayed in touch with fans through Gas Monkey. Yeah, that's our normal thing. When do you plan to have something new rolling out?

February. February. Yeah, it's going to be bitching. That would be good. That's a good time too Cause like Vaccines will have kicked in For most of the country You know

Yeah it's gonna be insane We're gonna have a great time I'm gonna have I can't let the cat out of the bag Okay don't say much But you know Okay It's gonna be good

Okay I got some pretty good plans Well I'm looking forward to seeing them This is a lot of fun dude It's going to be good. Okay. I've got some pretty good plans. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing them. This is a lot of fun, dude. And we're in the same state. How many beers have we polished off? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Well, that doesn't include the four I had before breakfast. It's a regular Monday. You had four? Yes. Before breakfast? Yes. How do you look so good? You don't look like a haggard alcoholic. Oh, no.

You look really good. I'll tell you the secret, but I have to off. Tell me off air. Yeah, off air. It has to do with certain juices on your face all the time. Fill in the blank with your own imagination, ladies and gentlemen. Jamie, what do you got? Juices in the face?

Anything? I'll leave that alone. Really? Jamie's going to leave it alone, too. Yeah, well, he drives a Tesla. If you were in the back seat of a freaking 69 Chevelle, you'd be like, I will tell you what that is. What do you have that would win a drag race with him? Zero.

You have zero cars that would win. I actually have a top fuel dragster. That's a little different. That's not legal on the street. It is if you put headlights on it. Can you? Can you put a top fuel dragster on the street? Technically, no.

But you can put a dragster on the street full length as long as it has like tail lights and turn signals oh really but it has to pass emissions with those fucking things pass emissions we don't have emissions in texas you see that's you gotta get back to the program sir you're in texas okay california has some things right. You can't just let people blow coal out of the back of their car. Coal is diesel. Yes. No, I'm not diesel. Right, I know.

You know what I'm saying. Like, that's emission standards, right? I say you let them do whatever. Because, let me tell you, it's going to suck for our offspring and their offspring. Because it's only going to get worse. So pollute the air? No. Because it's going to suck for them? I'm not saying pollute the air.

I'm just saying there is a line that needs to be drawn between enjoying the ideology of internal internal combustion engines and i like how outlawing internal combustion engines becomes an ideology it's like a religion it's like mormonism i come from the cult of the diesel engine you uh i think we have to figure out a way to get the fucking bad shit out of the air. And that's what I'm hoping. I'm hoping some super smart egghead type dude is going to figure out how to suck all that bad stuff out of the air. And then we're not going to worry anymore. Yeah.

Yeah. And if you think about where we're at in society right now, it will happen. Some guy will say, hey, this is how how we can find it this is how we do it there was an article that we we brought up in the podcast previously where they had a um a concept for uh an air cleaner that was literally the size of a building like a skyrise air cleaner that they would place in the middle of a city and just suck out all the particulates and pollution and all the bullshit out of the air. Was that in China?

They were talking about doing that? Do you remember? I don't think it'll ever get all the bullshit out of the air. We're actually spewing it right now. We are definitely spewing. That kind of bullshit will never get out of the air. It will never go away. But I think there's a real possibility that they might be able to pull pollution out of the air.

Like, definitely. I really do think that. I agree. The carbon in the air, like the excess carbon that we're spitting out. Smog-sucking tower, it's called. There it is, son. Smog-sucking tower, son. It looks like it sucks some sucking.

Scientists at the University of Earth Environment. First of all, the scientists at China's Institute of Earth Environment, those people are probably secretly polluting. It's like a cover story. Are you kidding me? Scientists at China's Institute of Earth Environment have constructed what they say is the world's largest air purifier in the northern city of

you say that Jean? Is that Jean? And I can't even work my Roomba. Ah! The experimental smog sucking tower stands over 100 meters tall, 300 fucking feet, and is designed to improve air quality in the city where

standards regularly fall short of expectations set by the world health organization yeah but that shit has to be reduced down to something yeah but what do they do with it but carbon is valuable see that's the thing like carbon is itself is a commodity right they can make things with carbon if they can really pull bullshit out of the air, that bullshit might be valuable. They just have to figure out a way to make it worthwhile. And if they can do that, then they can have one of those stupid things like every block. If that's how we saw blocks, we saw blocks with an air cleaner and everything was perfect, all our issues with how many autoimmune issues have to do with pollution. They say that living in a big city with a lot of pollution

can drop your life expectancy by 10 years. You don't know about this shit, Richard Rawlins. I don't know shit about this shit. I mean, you guys that work out and do all this gymnastic shit and fucking go fucking fight, you're worried about it. That's Jamie. He's all about gymnastics. He fucking go fucking fight. You're worried about it. That's Jamie. He's all about gymnastics.

He's all about those parallel bars. Yeah. See, I don't know shit about that. Jamie's all about that. I just drink beer and have a good time. Well, you can do that too. I hope for the best. The thing about drinking beer and having a good time

is you don't have to do it all day. You can take parts of your day and do other stuff. We've been in here for three hours. No, we've been here more than three hours. It's 420. What time have we been here for? What is it?

420? Yes. Woo! Light it up, son. Yeah, light it up. We've been here for like a year. Close to a year. I don't like it when he whispers through my ears.

Podcasts are a weird business, huh? Yeah. Right? Because if we were doing this anywhere where there's like a real producer

or an executive or someone who had any self-respect, they would stop this. And they would be like, what are you fucking idiots

talking about? What are you fucking idiots talking about? What are you coughing about? Pot smoke. We've done a pretty good job on this bottle. We killed that tequila. No, we haven't killed it yet. Yeah, but we killed it. You want to kill it?

It's going to live forever with fucking half its body gone. It might. I don't think so. It might. What were we just talking about 420 how do we get to that that's pretty much how everything ends at 420 yeah hey it's 420 what we're just talking about what did you just pull that line oh that's right carbon air uh being able to do something with the materials they pull out of the atmosphere.

As soon as they can make it valuable, then they'll clean the air up. And then there'll be no dirty cities anywhere. I agree. That's totally possible. I agree. Smart enough people recognize all that shit that's ruining everything is actually, you can figure out a way to economically process it where it makes sense. You can make money.

Do you know what the worst juxtaposition in the entire United States is right now? What? They outlawed, or they actually didn't outlaw. They said it's approved for drugs in Oregon. Right, everything. You can literally walk around with some cocaine in your pocket. Yeah. But straws are illegal.

Yes. That's a fucked up situation. It is a fucked up situation. I wonder how many people in Oregon grew the long pinky nail just to deal with the bullshit. I know, but why would you... Can't you do coke with a dollar bill? Why do you need a fucking straw?

Are you so selfish about your coke use? If you're a fucking baller, you do it with a hondo. Oh, right. Didn't they say that some crazy percentage of $100 billers have coke on them? Oh, all of them. Yeah, like all of them. Everything that's been in circulation. Yeah.

Yeah. 90... What are you saying? 90% of U.S. bills carry traces of cocaine. A hundred percent of bills from a few large urban areas tested positive for cocaine. A hundred percent. I mean, realize if you could recycle bills in America. There's something cool about cash. You put them in a shaker and it comes all down.

I'm a fan of cash. Not just because it's like a piece of paper and you get things for the piece of paper, but also because it passes around. Like, if you're holding on to a $20 bill, how many people have that bill before you? It's not just you. Like, it's in circulation. Like, that term circulation is real it's interesting i'm a big cash guy because i carry cash to all my buys and uh it makes people change their mind right they look at it oh yeah you can change you guys

like i need five grand you're like i'll give you 3 cash. And you open up that box. Boom. It's like when Vin Rames opened up that suitcase in Pulp Fiction. Yep. And Bruce Willis got to look at it. Remember that? Yeah. Show that, Jamie. Fuck yeah.

Remember that scene? Vin Rames, when he opened up the suitcase in Pulp Fiction. That's what cash is like. I got popped in uh i got popped in virginia flying um and i was carrying about 500 grand uh to go buy some hemi kudas oh yeah this guy had some hemi kudas and they were very they thought you were a drug dealer and everything else yeah that's that is john travolta opening up the suitcase going oh there you go. There you go. Right there. Oh, shit. Here, it opens it up.

Click, click, click. Ready? And boom. Whoa. Oh, fuck. We got some money in here. So I got Pop carrying 500 grand. They never said what it is. You know that, right?

Oh, that's bullshit. It's assumed what that is. No, it's not SpongeBob. I'm sorry about that. No, no, they never showed it. Yeah. No. Didn't they show it to Bruce Willis, too. No, no, they never showed it. Yeah. No. Didn't they show it to Bruce Willis, too?

Didn't Ving Rhames show it to Bruce Willis? Yeah, I think it's supposedly, it's like, well, it's a movie trip thing. It doesn't matter what it is. I'm sorry. Go ahead. Oh, don't worry about it. Anyways, I'm carrying 500 fucking jeans. $500,000 in cash.

In a backpack. This guy thrown in there. And they were like, what are you doing you know they took me into the room they had the whole freaking what year is this this was like oh eight ish just take him to fucking they took me in the room and i said look it's not illegal to carry money in america and here's what i'm going to buy and i showed them pictures of the car and titles of the cars, you know, because I was buying like three. And I missed my flight. I had to take a flight two hours later, but they fucked with me for a while.

How long did they fuck with you for? Like three hours. So they just want to make sure you're not buying drugs. I guess. Yeah. I was buying Hemikudas, which is a drug in our world. It's the best drug. It's a good drug.

It's a good drug. But it's a weird thing where you can only have, like, so much. Like, you could show up with, like, what is it, like, 10 grand? They can't fuck with you? Like, if you deposit more than 10 grand in the bank, they're like, what are you doing? Yeah, they got a record for that. What are you doing, Richard? And then traveling out of the country, 10 grand.

Or into the country, 10 grand. What if you're a baller? What if you're one of those dudes with diamond teeth? Who's just like, everywhere you go, you got a fucking Gucci bag filled with cash. I know. I guess you're flying private. But I was flying home from Londonondon one time and the night before i won a bunch of money at the casino there in leicester square i forget what that casino's

called but it's been on a bazillion movies and uh i won a bunch and then i i got there and i cashed it in and i had i don't know 20 or 30000. And they were like, do you have more than $10,000 to declare? And I was like, no. And they went, yeah, you go down that line. So then they sent me down the bad line. I'm going to get fucking searched. And I'm like, shit. Now they know you're a liar.

Yeah. And then that guy was kind of cool. He was, oh, cool, you're Richard, you know, whatever. Oh, he knew you. What do you do if they catch you? They can take it. Oh, no. Yeah, they can just take it.

Now you may or may not get it. Now you may or may not get it. You know, there was a real issue with cops pulling people over who were on their way to buy something with cash, in the South in particular. Was it North Carolina or South Carolina? There was a real issue with this where they had seized millions and millions of dollars of people's cash and items.

In South Carolina, there's nothing else to do. And it was almost impossible for the people to get it back. They had to go to war to get it back. And I believe they just changed the law really recently. Oh. Wow well Jimmy just he just oh what this is a I was looking up cash seizures Oklahoma's 2017 and says Oklahoma District Attorneys were awarded more than 6.2 million in cash up from the 3.1 million the year before,

believed to be involved in the drug trade that was seized by law enforcement. So they gave it to the DAs, I believe is what this is saying. So they gave the cash to the DA. The seized drug money. That's crazy. So then they don't have to account for how they made the seized drug money. They just take that money from drug dealing

and they apply it to the police force, which makes the police force more incentivized to go after drug dealers. It's hilarious. That was one of the things about whatever the law was, whether it was North Carolina or South Carolina, where these cops would pull people over and take their stuff. I forget what the law is. It's a famous law. But whatever it was, they would keep most of the money. So they were incentivized to see a guy like you on your way to buy some Hemings. I do not carry drugs. No, you don't have to. You just have cash.

Oh, cash. You just have cash. You have to prove that you got that cash in a legitimate manner before they give it back to you. Search and seizure. I think those are the rules. Yeah, it's a seizure law, but I mean, they have them everywhere. I don't know. But those were particularly egregious.

That's why I don't carry cash anymore. No cash. What did you... Do you hear about the guy who had... I barely have like five grand on me right now. Some dude had pounds of gold up his ass. Did you hear about that guy? You can't have a pound of gold in your ass i can i think he had two pounds no fucking way bro just because your ass is weak doesn't mean this no right i cannot take two pounds

i cannot take two pounds of gold airport staff notices man walking strangely then finds over two pounds of gold in his rectum the man was reportedly trying to avoid paying an 18 tax on gold pull those bitches up jamie look at those things imagine them in your asshole that hurts those that's heavy that's a lot of gold that's a giant gold dick I've never had a two pound shit I mean I would like to say I have when I used to wrestle and we used to cut weight people would try to

try to take a shit but what you don't realize is shit doesn't weigh that much what weighs a lot is urine like if you have to pee well that's 8.6 per gallon your shit is lighter than you would. Well, that's 8.6 per gallon. I mean, your shit is lighter than you'd hope it is.

Yeah. No, 8.6 ounces per, what is it, 8.6 per gallon? I don't know. We've already done terrible math all show long. Somebody else in the same flat had twice as much as that guy in the top. It doesn't say where that was concealed. No, I'm actually starting to get loaded enough that I'm looking for the guy that's talking to me. Ah, there's four pounds in his ass? It didn't say where that was no i'm actually starting to get loaded enough that i'm looking for the guy that's talking to me ah there's four pounds in his ass it didn't say where that was four pounds that guy would probably walk off two pounds i can't even finger my own ass and get four pounds for this it's wrong look at that whoa that's a lot of gold son 2.4 2.14 pounds.

So you got to think the dude who got busted with four pounds. 2.4 pounds is only 6,000 bucks. 2.4 pounds? Everything that you think of, Richard, just add like a 10 or 100 to. Man, I get my commas and zeros mixed up. Yeah, you got to multiply. You got to add to what you think it is is that's a lot of gold in your asshole that's very impressive i don't care what anybody says there's nothing wrong with a gold asshole i don't think that's what we're talking about i'm talking about smugglers you ever see someone get busted

with coke and go in the wrong life with the wrong situation that could have been me this happened again could have been me years ago we'll just leave it happen again we'll just leave it there this happened so it happened recently and a couple years ago three years ago walking with difficulty appearing to be in pain also in india oh yeah that's where they look for gold in your assholes india all those gold. Oh, you don't have to pay $15 to look. $15 fine and you get to keep his shitty gold. I don't know if I get to keep it. Imagine they take all your gold and they charge you $1,500 or you go to jail forever. Fuck off.

Fuck off, gold dick boy. Yeah. Oh, this guy had different. He had three. It said gold biscuits. This guy's shitting gold. Gold biscuits. Shaped like gold dick boy. Yeah. Oh, this guy had different. He had three. It said gold biscuits. This guy's shitting gold. Gold biscuits. Shaped like biscuits?

Jewelry. Like if you had a little kid's bakery kit. You're pretending you're making biscuits. Look for a picture of it. Gold biscuits. I don't know this picture. What the fuck's a gold biscuit? Oh, my God.

He had all that stuff up his ass? Those are the biscuits, baby. Oh, what are those? Look how brown they are. They look like turds. Oh, plastic. Wrapped in plastic and shoved up his ass those are the biscuits whoa what are those look how brown they are plastic wrapped in plastic and shoved up his ass somebody had to make a deal with him it's like the plastic would be extra space shut up shut up and wrap my gold with plastic you piece of shit you know i don't want your asshole to ever come in direct contact with my goal i can't scrub that off

you can't how many do you think every year go through airport security with gold up their ass? A hundred? All over the world? I would say thousands. Not this year, right? Because we've got to have the COVID exemption. But under a healthy year, I bet a hundred

people go through the border with gold up their ass. I got one with 140k of gold up his ass in 2016. how much does that weigh 140k would have to weigh like 60 pounds how much does that weigh it would have to weigh like 60 pounds okay so back off and make it six pounds right because he's always off by a No. Yes. Ounce of gold. Yes. 60 pounds is insane. That would be a bowling ball-

Six ounces. Size log of gold in your asshole. Royal Canadian mint employee allegedly smuggled over $100,000 worth of gold. They found a tub of Vaseline in his locker at work. Go back up there. A tub of Vaseline? So he worked at the Mint? So this guy was around gold all the time,

and he probably started stretching his asshole at work. A locker. He had a locker at work so so close right now when you're talking about that smuggled a hundred what is a hundred thousand uh is that pounds yeah is that what that is i can never tell the difference in euros and pounds what's the difference in the uh canadian uh this is this article is from the uk so they had to translate it for the readers oh Oh, okay. Canadian. It's $140,000 worth of gold.

Oh, my God. That's so crazy. How many pounds is that? Does it say the weight? It might have been like- It said inside his rectum. Hardly knew him. I feel like it's got to be at a time in the market when gold was at an all-time high or something.

It doesn't say the weight. They don't want to tell you the weight because it's got to be at a time in the market when gold was at an all-time high or something. It doesn't say the weight. They don't want to tell you the weight because it's not that impressive. Right? Like, otherwise, they just tell you the weight. I think this guy, he didn't get caught in one time. He was doing it on a daily basis. He was on a list. He was the gold dick up the ass mule.

He was a gold digger. He was the gold dick up the ass mule. He was a gold digger. He's just the guy that made his living shoving things up his ass and making his way across the border. Hey, trust me. I shove this up my ass. I go across the border. Everything's good.

Why does he have to have that accent? Look, a man's got to do what he's got to do. What if he was Scottish? What if he sounded like Sean Connery? Trying to feed my family. Trying to feed the family. My asshole. And I keep moving.

That's right. I come across the river. I think we torture these people enough. I think we're around, somewhere around four hours. What's the number, Jamie, right now? Three hours and 30 minutes. All right, fuck them. That's enough.

Should we keep going? No, it's enough.
