| I got this all day. | ||
| I know you do! | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Live. | ||
| Okay, what the fuck were you just telling me? | ||
| Hi, Joe. | ||
| Hi, Matt Farah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's happening? | |
| How are you, buddy? | ||
| Good to see you again, man. | ||
| We were just talking about Rolls-Royce. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because I was here in your new baller studio, which, congratulations. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| It's sick. | ||
| Admiring your skylights, and we were discussing the Rolls-Royce and the Starfield ceiling they do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which is, they put all these fiber optic lights into your headliner, and it looks like the stars. | ||
| And it's, I think it's 15 grand, the option, I think. | ||
| It's so badass, though. | ||
| It's so badass. | ||
| It's so badass. | ||
| And not only will they do it so you can get your standard star pattern, which is just whatever the guy, just random, right? | ||
| Random lights. | ||
| Or they'll make you exact constellations, if you prefer. | ||
| Right, like if you're one of those astrology people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or they will make you, you know, the sky directly above your house, if you give them a coordinate. | ||
| There's a photo of it. | ||
| Look how badass that looks. | ||
| So badass. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| It's so awesome. | ||
| You're balling so hard when you're driving around with a car with stars in the roof. | ||
| Well, so the last thing I said before you hit live was that they have just announced they have come out with a shooting star. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I don't know how it works. | |
| I'm not sure exactly what. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But I guess you can get shooting stars in your ceiling. | |
| That's crazy. | ||
| What are they going to do? | ||
| Make the whole thing a big LCD pattern or something? | ||
| Yeah, I guess. | ||
| Or I don't know. | ||
| I guess you could run an LED or a fiber optic line that works in a... | ||
| I emailed, once I got that press release, because I get press releases and I just delete them. | ||
| But when I saw Shooting Star Ceiling, I responded, can I have further info and video on this? | ||
| And they said they'd get back to me. | ||
| I've never even been in one of those things. | ||
| Never? | ||
| No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, you must. | |
| You must. | ||
| What is it like in there? | ||
| It's like sailing. | ||
| It's like yachting. | ||
| Phil Hartman had a really, really old, I think it was an old Bentley. | ||
| I mean, like, really old. | ||
| Like 60s old? | ||
| Older than that. | ||
| Like 30s old? | ||
| It was fucking old, man. | ||
| I wish I paid attention to cars back then, but back then was when I just started getting on TV. I really didn't... | ||
| You know, when I was broke, I always loved cars when I was a kid, but then I was broke, my attitude was like, don't think about some shit you're never going to be able to afford. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So just don't think about it. | ||
| Look at you now, Joe Rogan. | ||
| With all the toys and somewhere to park them. | ||
| Somewhere to park them. | ||
| But he had this old, baller-looking thing. | ||
| It was like something out of Citizen Kane. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Just this incredible boat. | ||
| Like pontoon fenders, the whole deal? | ||
| I think you shifted it on the tree. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| I would say, if I had to guess something baller, I would say Bentley Continental S1. Would be the most likely... | ||
| It might have been. | ||
| ...candidate. | ||
| It's a stunning automobile. | ||
| But he loved that thing. | ||
| He would just have this giant smile on his face with that thing. | ||
| He was like, this is so ridiculous. | ||
| I can picture that Phil Hartman smile. | ||
| Oh, he loved it, man. | ||
| That dude loved some cars. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Phil Hartman's bit. | ||
| Like that? | ||
| Something along those lines. | ||
| I wish I could remember, because like I said, back then, like if you asked me to, like, there's cars that I don't know shit about, like Rolls Royces or Bentleys, but if you showed me like an old Porsche, I'd be like, oh, that's a 73 Long Nose. | ||
| I know that one. | ||
| Well, we all have our areas of nerddom. | ||
| Like muscle cars, I'm a good muscle car guy. | ||
| I understand most muscle cars. | ||
| I could pick them out in a lineup, but... | ||
| Well, Bentley and Rolls-Royce are a weird one because they have sort of this intertwined history where they were separate and then they became together and then they became separate again. | ||
| So there's a lot of Rolls-Royces and Bentleys that are mostly the same car. | ||
| That's like super baller level where you're like, okay, forget about it. | ||
| Let's just get a car that makes no sound like you can't hear anything. | ||
| Rolls-Royces are really amazing cars. | ||
| They're so fucking cool, dude. | ||
| I can imagine. | ||
| And even like... | ||
| To a lot of car guys, especially, like, you know, you are such, like, a manual transmission, you know, you want your car, I know you, you want your car to be, like, really close to a race car. | ||
| I like it being dirty. | ||
| I like it being gritty. | ||
| Like, I want to feel the rocks as I drive over them. | ||
| Right, well, you would appreciate a Rolls-Royce's ability to make 100% of that disappear. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Disappeared entirely. | ||
| And there's really neat details. | ||
| The word flying or floating or sailing is so true because you don't really drive it. | ||
| You just kind of fucking will it down the road. | ||
| And you know how your Porsche or a sports car will have the thumb grips on the wheel at 9 and 3? | ||
| So Rolls-Royce has thumb grips at 4 and 8. Really? | ||
| You drive them underhand. | ||
| Gangster. | ||
| Extremely gangster. | ||
| Everybody drives them underhand? | ||
| Let me feel this. | ||
| It's that, yeah. | ||
| It's underhand. | ||
| Just so relaxed. | ||
| Because you don't even lift your arms above shoulder height. | ||
| And then, you know, your car has a tachometer, right? | ||
| It shows you your RPMs as a rough indicator of how much power you're using, right? | ||
| Roughly, not exactly, but before people go crazy about the lack of a technical term. | ||
| Rolls Royces don't have tachometers. | ||
| They have a power reserve gauge. | ||
| Which shows you how much power the car has, but that you are not using at any given time. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So if you're coasting along, it's at 100. Going down a hill, maybe. | ||
| You're just off the gas, off the brake, coasting. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Power reserve. | ||
| So, if you're coasting, you are using 0% of your engine. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And the idea is to keep that gauge low, because you want to be able to pass cars and cruise down the road while using, meh, 25% of this car's engine power. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So pimp! | ||
| And they're stupid. | ||
| Horsepower, right? | ||
| Like, crazy power, right? | ||
| Like, not like crazy crazy, but like four to five hundred. | ||
| So high. | ||
| Yes, high. | ||
| High horsepower. | ||
| High torque. | ||
| Isn't that funny that saying that is not that hard for a car of today? | ||
| Oh, our standards are blown out. | ||
| Our standards are the internet has fucked us all up. | ||
| I was reading about a new Miata, which, by the way, might be like one of the most underrated cars ever. | ||
| The new Miata? | ||
| It's lovely. | ||
| Just any Miatas. | ||
| Yeah, they're great. | ||
| Like, for the bang for the buck, for a fun little car to drive that kind of is real nimble, gets around, they're fucking great. | ||
| But it was only like 150 horsepower. | ||
| Yeah, there it is. | ||
| That's the new Miata. | ||
| 160 horsepower, I think. | ||
| That's like... | ||
| Like, you hear that and you're like, what? | ||
| Yeah, but you know there's a company in Colorado called Flying Miata? | ||
| You know them, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I've heard of them. | |
| You know where I'm going with this. | ||
| I've heard of them. | ||
| Yeah, they put an LS3 in one of these. | ||
| So I drove one that has a 575 horsepower LS3, and it's fucking great. | ||
| That must be insane. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because it's got these long legs, you know? | ||
| Like, it's a little car, but it's got the Corvette long legs, so your, you know, third gear's good for like 90. Wow. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| Now, when you drive at a car like that, is the balance fucked up by that engine? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, because... | |
| Is it similar weight? | ||
| No, it's actually similar weight. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I think the LS conversion is like... | ||
| I don't want to say exactly, but it's like maybe that's the older car, Jamie, that they do it to a newer one as well. | ||
| It's a few extra pounds in the front, but actually they have to use the rear differential from a Camaro. | ||
| So a lot of the extra weight goes in the back. | ||
| And so the car is maybe a hundred pounds heavier with the V8 in it, but it's four times the power. | ||
| What is the weight of a Miata? | ||
| 2350? | ||
| That's so light. | ||
| You see that thing in the picture was called an Exocet. | ||
| So that exoskeleton thing that says Flying Miata on it... | ||
| Oh, this is an interesting photograph, actually. | ||
| Sorry, podcast people. | ||
| We've got two vehicles on a track from Flying Miata. | ||
| The one in front is an exoskeleton car with really no body work on it at all. | ||
| And that's called an Exocet. | ||
| And so what is you buy that chassis... | ||
| And you buy a Miata, and you take apart the Miata, and you put all the Miata shit on this chassis. | ||
| And so you end up with like a 1,200 pound thing. | ||
| And you can put turbos, and you can put V8s, and you can do all different kind of stuff. | ||
| Is it street legal? | ||
| Yes, it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Street legal, carb legal. | ||
| And then the thing behind it is called a Bauer catfish. | ||
| Did you say carb legal, like as far as emissions? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I mean, if you use a carb legal, like the E-Rod engine, like John Ward likes, or the stock Miata engine, for sure, yeah. | ||
| If you use a carb legal engine, it's a California legal engine. | ||
| That's crazy! | ||
| I've driven them. | ||
| They're fast, but, you know... | ||
| Nothing about Exocet's design should be taken from this statement, I don't feel safe in them. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Just because you're just out there in the open. | ||
| To me, I like having a body around me. | ||
| But it's way safer than a motorcycle. | ||
| True. | ||
| But a motorcycle... | ||
| I was thinking about this. | ||
| A motorcycle offers an experience that cannot be replicated. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And if you are going to take the kind of risks involved in riding a motorcycle, that experience is kind of worth it. | ||
| To me, in short bursts. | ||
| Whereas, I don't think the experience of driving a car with no body on it... | ||
| Is worth you. | ||
| I don't think it is either, but fuck, man. | ||
| Because you can get a lot of awesome car with bodywork. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it's also like the thrill of the motorcycle. | ||
| It's like, it is either you either have it or you don't. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Like, you're either in a convertible or you're on a motorcycle. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And the leaning, of course, is really... | ||
| And is that thing any more thrilling than a regular convertible, honestly? | ||
| I mean, it's faster. | ||
| It's not faster than all convertibles. | ||
| No, but having the no roof and everything. | ||
| I mean, you definitely feel connected to the elements. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| And you can go, because it's so light, you can use a relatively mundane engine and go very, very fast. | ||
| I imagine 1,200 pounds is incredible. | ||
| Yeah, it's nothing. | ||
| I mean, it's nothing. | ||
| It looks like so much fun. | ||
| Imagine a Corvette engine in that thing, which you can do. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| That's so crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| People are crazy. | ||
| I drive some shit that is dangerous. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Your one-take video series that you do, where people let you drive their fucking crazy hot rods. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| Souped-up cars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, woo! | |
| I've just retired from driving people's personal cars. | ||
| You should. | ||
| Good for you. | ||
| I just saw this. | ||
| I might go to Reno and drive this. | ||
| What the fuck is this? | ||
| This is these weird software guys built this thing in Reno. | ||
| That's called a Teslonda. | ||
| That's a... | ||
| Did you hear anything? | ||
| No, you didn't. | ||
| It's electric? | ||
| That is a Tesla drivetrain in a 1981 Honda. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it weighs 2,200 pounds. | |
| And it runs like an 8 second quarter mile. | ||
| That is hilarious. | ||
| Awesome, right? | ||
| I just love that there's people like that out there. | ||
| The nerds are winning. | ||
| Oh, they're winning. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Yeah, the Teslonda. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So, you know, weird shit. | ||
| But I figured I have rolled the dice, you know? | ||
| You gotta know when to walk away, know when to run, know when to count your money. | ||
| I think the dealing's done. | ||
| I'm sure. | ||
| Yeah, good for you. | ||
| You made out. | ||
| You're one of the rare few that beat Vegas. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I mean, either I decide when to stop, or a lawyer does. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know? | ||
| That's so true. | ||
| I just... | ||
| What we were talking about is just so amazing that the horsepower wars, because of their steady increase every year, you know, you come out with a 2018 Corvette, people expect it to be faster. | ||
| It's always got to go up. | ||
| It's got to be faster than 217. Come on, man. | ||
| We got the same thing. | ||
| Well, hey, fucking Ford, just put a new engine in the Mustang 350 GT. So there's always something. | ||
| Hey, they got the GT500 coming. | ||
| Well, shit. | ||
| We're going to go up to 900 horsepower. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like... | |
| Isn't it crazy that it's just, like, money? | ||
| Like, not even a lot of money. | ||
| Like, you can get a Hellcat for used Hellcat, like, 45 grand. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, 600 bucks a month, 700 bucks a month, and you got 700 horsepower. | ||
| You hooked me up with one of those when I was in Denver, when I was filming my Comedy Central special. | ||
| I drove a red Hellcat to the mountains. | ||
| I remember that. | ||
| With an astronaut's outfit on. | ||
| Fast, right? | ||
| Dude, they're great. | ||
| It's a great car. | ||
| Now they have a wider, have you seen the wider body work? | ||
| I like that. | ||
| And so it's actually got quite a lot more tire under it. | ||
| That's what I had a complaint. | ||
| It doesn't have that muscle car ass. | ||
| I like a car with a muscle car ass. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now it does. | |
| The wide body Hellcat does, yeah. | ||
| There's something about those fat tires in the rear, man. | ||
| Like, as an old school muscle head dork, that's what you want. | ||
| I saw, you know, Motorator Matt D'Andrea? | ||
| No. | ||
| He's on Adam Carolla's podcast. | ||
| He just posted a picture on Twitter. | ||
| He saw your old sick fish spotted somewhere. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| It was in a bit of a sad state, honestly. | ||
| Oh, was it really? | ||
| Yeah, it was a little tired looking. | ||
| Beat up? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's unfortunate. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was a cool looking car when that thing came out. | ||
| Yeah, that football player, Reggie, what's his name? | ||
| Reggie Bush. | ||
| He bought it. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| He bought it off the guy that I sold it to. | ||
| I think it's been around. | ||
| Yeah, it's a great looking car. | ||
| That year, like all those years, like 70, 71, those second generation Barracudas, that's a special look. | ||
| And I think a lot of the Hellcat is in that. | ||
| Oh, for sure. | ||
| It's the same kind of look. | ||
| It's pretty close. | ||
| It's pretty close, but I really wish it was the same size. | ||
| A Hellcat is a 125 or 130% overinflated scale version of that. | ||
| Those 70-71 Cudas are the most valuable muscle cars that there are today. | ||
| Those Hemi ones, right? | ||
| Yeah, the Hemi Cudas are the rarest and most valuable of those. | ||
| They're the ones that only get over like a million usually. | ||
| That's incredible. | ||
| For a car that was, what, $30,000 new? | ||
| Back in 1970? | ||
| I think it was $5,000. | ||
| Was it? | ||
| Was it $5,000? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| My reverse math doesn't go back that far, really. | ||
| Let's take a guess. | ||
| Let's take a guess. | ||
| I think it was like $5,000 to $6,000 wouldn't be out of the question. | ||
| For a Hemi-Cuda. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| For the big motor, let's go with $8,500. | ||
| $8,500. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You go with $8,500. | ||
| What did I say? | ||
| $30,000? | ||
| I'm going to re-evaluate. | ||
| I think you need to re-evaluate. | ||
| That'll be a 426 Hemi-Cuda. | ||
| I'm gonna play a dirty game, Price is Right. | ||
| I'm gonna go right above him with 15,000. | ||
| Is Jamie coming in with a dollar? | ||
| Fucking us all up. | ||
| Winning the show. | ||
| 426. 426 Hemi-Cuda. | ||
| Which year? | ||
| 1970. 70. Yeah, that's the good year. | ||
| Well, the two years of my favorite year, 70 and 71. Roughly the same, I think, aren't they? | ||
| 71's got four headlights. | ||
| Oh, look at you, Joe Rogan! | ||
| 70 also has the smaller grill face, like the teeth are smaller in the front, which is what I had. | ||
| I had a 70. Whereas 71 has the full grill face. | ||
| It's really more aggressive. | ||
| I think 71 might be a little bit better looking, to be honest with you. | ||
| I can't recall if one year is more valuable than the other. | ||
| 71, I think, is probably the best looking. | ||
| Are the results in, Jamie? | ||
| Window sticker? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Original? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
3433. $3,433. | |
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Jamie's $1 would have won it. | ||
| That's it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's the car. | |
| There it is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Jamie, pull up 1971 Barracuda Nose. | ||
| That is, I think, my favorite look in any muscle car is a 1971 Barracuda. | ||
| It's just like this aggressive, American-looking grill. | ||
| Look at that, son. | ||
| I mean, that is about as fucking aggressive as a grill can get. | ||
| It's got a mouth full of teeth. | ||
| It looks like a Barracuda. | ||
| It really does. | ||
| It really does. | ||
| They fucking nailed it, man. | ||
| They were better at actually, I think, naming things what they looked like back then. | ||
| Goddamn, that looks good. | ||
| I do still think the Corvette Stingray looks Stingray-ish. | ||
| I think that still works. | ||
| A little bit. | ||
| Still works. | ||
| Kind of. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That looks like a fucking Barracuda, though. | ||
| Yes, it does. | ||
| That looks like it's going to get you. | ||
| I just found a way for you to spend another million dollars, Joe Rogan. | ||
| I would never buy one of those. | ||
| I don't like... | ||
| I'm weird with shit. | ||
| I don't like stock old cars. | ||
| Well, because they drive like garbage? | ||
| Could that be why? | ||
| Yeah, I have zero interest in them. | ||
| You got your Vette, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But that's like a modified Pro Touring chassis and all that stuff, right? | ||
| 100%, yeah. | ||
| And it's got a LS1 in it. | ||
| Oh, so it drives like a normal car. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Supercharged. | |
| Yeah, it drives like a normal car. | ||
| Have you ever driven a stock one of that year? | ||
| No. | ||
| It's not good. | ||
| You're lucky. | ||
| There's a guy up the street, he hates me. | ||
| Why? | ||
| We live in the same block, and he's got an original. | ||
| He's one of those original guys. | ||
| He drives around with a paperboy hat on, drives around the neighborhood. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, no. | |
| Does he set up a lawn chair at Cars and Coffee and play fucking sock hop music? | ||
| Fuck those people. | ||
| Dude, the look he had in his face when I told him that none of it was original except the shell, the outside. | ||
| I go, it looks original. | ||
| It doesn't have a goddamn thing in it. | ||
| The inside, I guess, the shape of the dashboard's original. | ||
| Fuck him. | ||
| Your car. | ||
| I was like, look, man, I like them to drive like a car that works good. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, why is it bad to upgrade the brakes? | ||
| No, it is not. | ||
| You're fine. | ||
| But this whole thing that it's somehow or another doing a disservice to the vehicle by upgrading the brakes. | ||
| These people are assholes. | ||
| It's not a museum piece, man. | ||
| It's an awesome car. | ||
| If you're going on the lawn at Pebble Beach, you keep it original. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Other than that, I mean, especially, look, you love the depths of the internet. | ||
| Look at... | ||
| Los Angeles driving circa 1960, and then Los Angeles driving today. | ||
| You know, the heat, the traffic. | ||
| An old car is not meant to handle that shit. | ||
| You want to drive an old car here, you need to upgrade a few things. | ||
| Cooling, brakes. | ||
| When I find out that a dude just drives an old car, I give him an extra level of respect. | ||
| You know what he's going through. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Jimmy Smith, my partner in the UFC now, he used to work for Bellator, now he works for the UFC. He drives a 1968 Firebird. | ||
| Every day? | ||
| Stock. | ||
| Stock. | ||
| Stock seats, stock brakes, everything. | ||
| I'm like, whoa. | ||
| Does he know what he's missing? | ||
| Have you let him drive your M5 yet? | ||
| He doesn't give a fuck. | ||
| He doesn't give a fuck. | ||
| He likes old muscle cars. | ||
| He likes them the way they are. | ||
| He had a Camaro, I think, and I think his Camaro got hit. | ||
| By some asshole and totaled it. | ||
| So he's like, alright, get another one. | ||
| There's guys in my hood. | ||
| In Venice, where I live, there's a lot of old daily drivers, for sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| But I don't know. | ||
| I can't do it. | ||
| I just don't need that in my life. | ||
| It's a different experience. | ||
| You've got to realize that you're not going to be able to hit the brakes real good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's not worth it to me. | ||
| I like to drive too close to the people in front of me. | ||
| Well, even if something steps out in the road, you know? | ||
| I mean, how many times have you been driving a deer steps out in front of your car? | ||
|
unidentified
|
A bunch. | |
| A bunch. | ||
| I was driving down the road in a video that's been viewed about three million times and a guy was dragging a log on like a 50-foot chain behind a Ford Explorer. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Back and forth across the road. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What the fuck? | ||
| It was like the most viewed video on Reddit for 24 hours. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| It was crazy, just dragging a log. | ||
| Like a log, like, you know, four feet by two feet, giant tree trunk log. | ||
| Fucking assholes out there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can't have shitty suspension, like, woof! | |
| Remember trying to turn one of those cars? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| It's literally like a boat. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| But you know what else is like tires is a big difference too. | ||
| Like, you know, old Porsches used to be called widow makers and shit, but you take one of those old 70s turbo Porsches that, you know, there's volumes about how scary they are to drive and you put them on Michelin Pilot Supersports and you're like, oh, You thought 300 horsepower was scary. | ||
| That's cute. | ||
| Isn't that funny? | ||
| They were scared of 300 horsepower. | ||
| Oh, here's my log video. | ||
| Look, wait, watch this. | ||
| Boom! | ||
| Log! | ||
| That is so crazy. | ||
| That is so goddamn crazy. | ||
| You're sitting there going, what? | ||
| And I was in a supercharged Lamborghini Huracan making like 900 horsepower. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| And look at the road this guy is just free-dragging a fucking log. | ||
| That guy does not seem wise. | ||
| But I totally, I choked. | ||
| I mean, I had an opportunity to throw a zinger there at this person, and instead I just talked to myself and drove away. | ||
| No, you're better off. | ||
| You're not going to fix that guy. | ||
| If he's so stupid, he's driving a giant log down a public road. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| At least 13 feet behind his car. | ||
| Look on the other side of the road. | ||
| Look at the marks. | ||
| Like, the log, actually, as I go up, you can see the mark of dirt, like, moving back and forth across the road. | ||
| It was easier to see the other way, I guess, but... | ||
|
unidentified
|
God. | |
| Jesus. | ||
| Don't do that, people. | ||
| I mean, I guess he couldn't pick it up. | ||
| It looked too big. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't see how that's an appropriate solution when you can't pick something up. | |
| Why would he be so convinced that the log was going to stay attached to the chain? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| How much does he know about logs and chains? | ||
| I mean, he seemed like an advanced chain scientist in the specialty of logs. | ||
| Fucking assholes out there, man. | ||
| Dragging a log behind a car on a public road. | ||
| That's a big-ass log, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That looks like a four-foot log, right? | |
| That chain is not gonna hold up. | ||
| That log's gonna bounce and go through someone's fucking windshield. | ||
| God damn, man. | ||
| God, it wasn't mine. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| Like, look how long it is behind his car. | ||
| It's so crazy. | ||
| And, I mean, not that we need to, like, you know, go back in the video, but see that, like, trail of whatever it leaves on the road there? | ||
| Like, that trail, I had noticed starting, like... | ||
| A couple, like, half a mile or so before that on the road, and the trail is going back and forth across both lanes of traffic, and there was like a couple little signs down. | ||
| Yeah, that's not good, too. | ||
| I mean, you're making obstacles for people that are driving, especially if you're on a motorcycle. | ||
| If you're on a motorcycle and you're coming around there and you hit that dirt... | ||
| Oh, you're going to kill somebody. | ||
| Yeah, that's legit. | ||
| Motorcycles don't want sand on the road. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They just don't. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And you're putting it on the road 100% with that stupid. | ||
| Mogersiders also don't want to get clotheslined by logs and chains. | ||
| Man, my buddy wiping out on a turn on some sand was one of the major reasons why I was taking motorcycle safety classes. | ||
| I was trying to get my license, and I was going to get me and a couple of my friends from Fear Factor. | ||
| We were going to get a... | ||
| We're gonna get motorcycles. | ||
| Couple of guys at work there. | ||
| And then as things went on, we were like, fuck this. | ||
| Two of them went through with it. | ||
| Two of us bailed. | ||
| Alonzo Bowden is all about the bikes. | ||
| All about the bikes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And how many bones has he broken? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Didn't he have... | ||
| He broke his arm on a bike a couple years ago. | ||
| I bet he did. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He doesn't seem to think it's a bad risk. | ||
| I ride a scooter. | ||
| I have a little Yamaha scooter that I ride around Venice and running errands and going to my office and stuff. | ||
| Because I can lane split and it really makes my life a lot easier. | ||
| But I'm terrified. | ||
| I had a motorcycle and I rode it in the canyons maybe four or five times. | ||
| I was terrified. | ||
| I have no problem pushing a car, you know, a little bit in the canyons, but on a bike, like, that gravel is like, wing! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's really fun. | ||
| I get it, motorcycle people. | ||
| I'm not saying you're wrong. | ||
| You're just braver than me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Poor dumber. | ||
| I've gone through a lot of surgeries. | ||
| I know what it's like to rehab from a serious injury. | ||
| I'm like, I am just so not into that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, I've had two back surgeries in the same spot, so... | ||
| You've had those disectomies, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How was that? | ||
| Did it work for you? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| First one lasted like 11 years, and then my bad decisions led to it being re-injured, and the second surgery's fine. | ||
| The best shape now that I've been in like 10 years. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| I do seven days a week of cardio. | ||
| I built a gym in my house. | ||
| I did. | ||
| Seven days a week of cardio. | ||
| Yeah, I got one of those arc trainers. | ||
| It's awesome. | ||
| Is that like an elliptical machine? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| It's like the hardest elliptical machine I've ever used. | ||
| Really? | ||
| I do like 45 minutes a day on that. | ||
| I used one of those really recently. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| I had a prequel one before. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's like a hotel. | ||
| Pull up a video of that bad boy. | ||
| It's like a hotel quality deal. | ||
| Yeah, so no pounding. | ||
| You're getting your cardio in, but your body's not getting beat up. | ||
| And in 45 minutes, I'll burn, according to the machine, I don't know how accurate these machine counters are, but I'll burn like 850 calories in 45 minutes. | ||
| And then I do three days a week of weight training for an hour. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Damn! | |
| So you're getting in daily doubles three days a week? | ||
| Yeah, and I haven't had a cigarette since October 2016. Damn! | ||
| There it is, yeah, the arc trainer. | ||
| I have the one with the arms. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The guy behind him's got the arms, it looks like. | ||
| It's a serious, serious workout, man. | ||
| I sweat. | ||
| It is a really good workout. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| And then I do speed back. | ||
| I'll do 12 minutes a day on speed back, which I like. | ||
| That's how you hurt your arm? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, we've been talking about tendon issues. | ||
| Folks who's never had tendon issues, and I never had them until this elbow. | ||
| I mean, I've had it on elbows before, but I did it smart, and I didn't keep working out. | ||
| This time I tried to meathead my way through it again. | ||
| And it flared up pretty bad to the point where four months later it wasn't healed. | ||
| It's a slow healing thing, right? | ||
| Super slow with tendons. | ||
| They don't have any blood supply. | ||
| So I got a bunch of shit done. | ||
| Is that why the platelet-rich plasma works so well? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Because it just gets it right in there? | ||
| It's very effective. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The other thing that I think the most effective is what we were talking about is those TheraBands. | ||
| And actually it's the cheapest. | ||
| No, that's the twisty blue thing that I use. | ||
| It looks like a big Avatar dildo. | ||
| And you hold it out in front of you. | ||
| I wish I had it with me. | ||
| And then you twist it like that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then I hold it like this and then I let it untwist. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I just got one. | ||
| And then you like... | ||
| And when you do the untwisting, it strengthens... | ||
| For me, that was my issue. | ||
| You're on the inside. | ||
| I'm on the outside. | ||
| So I go the other way. | ||
| Yeah, there's another one they'll show. | ||
| They have diagrams for different things you could do. | ||
| It's a big difference. | ||
| But it's just those kind of muscles don't get strengthened a lot. | ||
| My muscles in my hands are picking things up and I'm doing chin-ups in rows and stuff like that, but I was never doing anything twisty. | ||
| So I've started to add that. | ||
| The amount of driving I do isn't good for me. | ||
| Right, for your back? | ||
| No, for my hands or for anything. | ||
| It fucks up my whole body. | ||
| Do you put a lumbar pad or anything? | ||
| No, but most cars I drive have real sporty seats, and a lot of them I'm lucky enough to have adjustable lumbar. | ||
| Mercedes right now is killing the seat game. | ||
| Mercedes seat game is so fire. | ||
| What are they doing? | ||
| They work with this spinal center in Germany to develop all their high-end seats. | ||
| And the seats on the AMG S-Class are so ridiculous. | ||
| It's like, they have a simulated hot stone massage function that works. | ||
| It's boss as hell. | ||
| It's like a nine zone massage seat in the S-Class coupe. | ||
| So while you're driving, it gives you a hot stone massage? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What is the difference between a hot stone massage and a regular massage? | ||
| The air pockets that get inflated, like, you know, it's like behind the seat, the leather, there's like these pockets of air, like old Reebok pumps, right, where I will pump them up and inflate them and deflate them in sequence, right, to simulate kneading or whatever it is. | ||
| Well, the Mercedes S-Class heats those pockets, so they're actually... | ||
| Not with hot air. | ||
| There's a thermal thing on the surface. | ||
| It's so gangster. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| It feels like a hot stone massage. | ||
| It's awesome. | ||
| Damn. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They took it to the next level. | ||
| They have. | ||
| And in fact, I got the car. | ||
| It's like a $225,000 car. | ||
| I got it for a week. | ||
| I drove it around a road trip, all this. | ||
| I ended up writing 2,600 words on the seat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The whole review was just the seat. | |
| The hot still on the side. | ||
| And it has the fans behind your neck that blow the hot air. | ||
| Because it was a convertible. | ||
| Oh, you got the convertible? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Goddamn. | ||
| That's the back seat there, Jamie. | ||
| Go for the front seat. | ||
| God damn. | ||
| The front seats are just delightful. | ||
| But it is amazing that we are in this time. | ||
| See look, there's all the zones. | ||
| Oh, that's crazy. | ||
| Six zones. | ||
| It's amazing that we are in this time where the technology has gotten to this level where cars, they're working so hard to improve upon what is already ridiculous. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Especially in terms of performance. | ||
| Yeah, and have you experienced any of the semi-autonomous stuff yet? | ||
| None. | ||
| I'm surprised as intellectually curious a person. | ||
| I'm not interested in cars that drive themselves. | ||
| They can go fuck themselves. | ||
| You're not interested in a brief experience into the world? | ||
| I am. | ||
| I am interested in that. | ||
| You should be. | ||
| I am, but for the most part... | ||
| Blow your fucking mind. | ||
| Those cars are going to take away our right to drive. | ||
| Oh, that's... | ||
| Well, you should join the Human Driving Association. | ||
| Alex, this is real. | ||
| We're starting a lobbying association for the rights of human drivers. | ||
| You should. | ||
| It sounds like a fucking goof right now. | ||
| It doesn't to me. | ||
| It doesn't to me. | ||
| Because what you don't want to ever have is a situation where you summon your autonomous pod and you say, take me to wherever, and it goes, no, Joe. | ||
| We're not going there today because of some political situation. | ||
| The government tells you. | ||
| The war on driving is here. | ||
| Pick your side. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| What the fuck, man? | ||
| And is that an RS America on the left there? | ||
| I think it's a sign. | ||
| I think that is. | ||
| It might be an older car by the bumper. | ||
| It's a Carrera Whale Tail, like my 911. Yeah. | ||
| What year is your 911? | ||
| It's an 87. That's a good year. | ||
| We're doing a safari build. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| So you're making it like one of those off-road Porsches? | ||
| Rally car. | ||
| A rally car? | ||
| Yeah, it's called the Keen Project. | ||
| My friend Lee Keen is a Porsche racing driver, and he built one for himself. | ||
| And it is the most glorious thing I've ever driven. | ||
| Everything that you love about a 911 applies to this on loose surface. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| That's your car? | ||
| That's not my car. | ||
| My car is going to look like that, although it will be a different color and have a roof rack, and it'll be slightly different. | ||
| That thing's crazy. | ||
| That actually is a Richard Tuttle build from England. | ||
| If you look up Keen Safari, K-E-E-N, and you'll see closer to mine. | ||
| Tuttle's the guy that made that crazy green car. | ||
| Oh, this is my video of driving Lee's car. | ||
| And it is... | ||
| See, look, I was fatter there. | ||
| So it's just drifty woods oversteer, and you know that rear engine kind of snapback thing that everyone's all afraid of in 911s, the pendulum thing? | ||
| Well, you get that when you slide, and then it catches and comes back. | ||
| On a loose surface, there's no catch. | ||
| So you slide it, but you don't have the scary snapback. | ||
| It just drifts and comes back and drifts. | ||
| You know, there's Lee. | ||
| He's building the thing. | ||
| So it's probably really good to have a rear engine bias. | ||
| It is brilliant. | ||
| It is the most controllable, delightful. | ||
| And you've got four inches of extra suspension travel. | ||
| So LA, speed bumps, ruts. | ||
| Think about this in Los Angeles, right? | ||
| So you're going to drive this rally car around LA? Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's not a race car, it's a street car. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| It's a street car, yeah. | ||
| And then, you know... | ||
| That looks like so much fun, driving that in the dirt. | ||
| Oh my god, we have so much desert here. | ||
| No one cares. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| You go out to Mirage, there's trails, there's no speed limits, nobody gives a shit. | ||
| I gotta be honest, there's two videos that made me get really interested in older Porsches. | ||
| One of them was the Chris Harris build with the Tuttle, and the other one was you driving that Project Nasty car. | ||
| Joey Sealy. | ||
| He's a local as well. | ||
| Dude, that car. | ||
| I was like, oh, that's it. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Just like, get it down to the raw dog. | ||
| Yeah, he took everything out of that car. | ||
| And Richard Tuttle, who did Chris's car in England, is like the rally master. | ||
| There's Project Nasty. | ||
| And there's Joey, who built it. | ||
| And he also, I love the little things he did like make the exhaust come through the rear bumper and those funky wheels on it and the fact there's no carpeting at all. | ||
| Like everything inside was stripped away. | ||
| His Instagram is Emotion Engineering and that car has been through a few changes since this video was made. | ||
| It looks a little different now. | ||
| He changed the wheels, right? | ||
| Different wheels, different like There's a bunch of different stuff, but it's amazing. | ||
| And that guy, he used to be a part of this business, BBI Autosport. | ||
| He left to go start his own business, Emotion Engineering, and he is a master of chassis setup. | ||
| Yeah, I believe it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's a very, very impressive video. | ||
| It's a very interesting video. | ||
| And that's not like the highest horsepower vehicle, right? | ||
| No, it was really light, though. | ||
| How many horsepower did it have? | ||
| If I remember, maybe 375, 380. I mean, it was fast. | ||
| It was not a slouch at all. | ||
| But, you know, have you seen what Singer is doing now with this air-cooled engine? | ||
| Yeah, it's crazy. | ||
| Well, you sent me that whole thing of the price difference between a 911 engine, air-cooled engine that's got 200 horsepower versus one that's got 500 horsepower. | ||
| And you're like, wow! | ||
| Yeah, the exponential curve of Porsche horsepower costs is really scary stuff. | ||
| The highest end was $250,000? | ||
| Yeah, so it was like, okay, to buy an engine, just an engine on a stand, you want that engine, this is a Porsche air-cooled, so a Porsche engine for a Porsche that is earlier than 1995. 300 horsepower is going to run you about $40,000. | ||
| And that's a ton of money for not a lot of horsepower. | ||
| 400 horsepower will run you about $100,000. | ||
| I mean, that's an engine on a stand, nothing else. | ||
| You want 500 horsepower out of that motor, it's $250,000. | ||
| Just for the engine? | ||
| Just for the engine. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| Because that sounds so crazy in comparison to other cars out there. | ||
| Because a lot of techniques that you would use to make horsepower in other cars, you cannot apply to a Porsche engine. | ||
| You're limited on displacement size, so it's not like you could shove a 9-liter V8 in there. | ||
| A 4.2 is about as big displacement as you can get. | ||
| In that case. | ||
| And that's with like a stroker crank and bored out, so you're increasing both the length the pistons move and the size of the hole. | ||
| To get to the 500 horsepower mark, you have to run some highly experimental cylinder heads. | ||
| And Singer, to do that, I don't know if Chris has been on the show recently, but he's working with Singer to develop... | ||
| There's a company called Williams that is a Formula One team. | ||
| They are developing the cylinder heads for Singer. | ||
| So Chris Harris is a part of this as well? | ||
| He's doing development driving for them. | ||
| Oh, that's great. | ||
| Which is a good decision, right? | ||
| Oh, that's an amazing decision. | ||
| Plus, the videos will be epic. | ||
| Right, so most of... | ||
| They're doing a four-valve air-cooled head, which, as far as I know, has never been done before. | ||
| All your engine, my engine, all the... | ||
| are two-valve engines, and they're doing a four-valve engine. | ||
| So... | ||
| It's gonna cost a million and a half dollars for the car. | ||
| Well, the engine is 250 grand. | ||
| This is why, yes, yeah. | ||
| That's so crazy. | ||
| Yeah, custom cars are a million dollars now. | ||
| Isn't that nuts? | ||
| I mean, if you really want something next level, it can easily be a million dollars. | ||
| Jamie, pull up that new Singer 911. Yeah, Singer 911 with the Williams engine. | ||
| It's green. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it's got a lot of that... | ||
| Who's the Japanese gentleman who takes those Porsches and stretches them out? | ||
| RWB. RWB, yeah. | ||
| It's got a lot of that to it. | ||
| Well, so RWB is really interesting, because in Japan, there's the singer. | ||
| Don't you think that's a goddamn gorgeous car? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But don't you think it's an odd choice to artificially... | ||
| Stop, please. | ||
| Oh, look how sexy that is. | ||
| To artificially differentiate, like the way he's got the fender flares. | ||
| He's making them like you had to glue them on. | ||
| But the whole car is carbon fiber. | ||
| So if the whole car is carbon fiber, why did they fake like they had extensions on the wheel wells? | ||
| Okay, so I don't want to disappoint you, but that is a rendering and not a picture of an actual car. | ||
| As far as I know, the actual car does not exist. | ||
| That's so good! | ||
| And I think, if I had to guess, they put those over fender lines on the rendering so you would specifically notice that they have widened it. | ||
| And if I had to guess, the final car may not actually have a seam there. | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| I'm not mad if it does. | ||
| It looks amazing. | ||
| Jamie, can you make that bigger again? | ||
| But that looks so real. | ||
| That's crazy that that's not a photograph. | ||
| Does that look like a render to you, Jamie? | ||
| I'm almost certain that's not a real car. | ||
| I'm almost certain it's not a real car. | ||
| The tire looks a little... | ||
| The tire looks fake? | ||
| I could be wrong. | ||
| There could be someone screaming at their whatever right now saying I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure... | ||
| There's reflections in the windows of a building that's outside. | ||
| Have you played fucking Forza in the last three years? | ||
| They're good at this, dude. | ||
| Play a video game. | ||
| I absolutely believe it. | ||
| I'm not arguing against it. | ||
| I'm just saying it's so good. | ||
| But anyway, if they'd make a car like that, holy shit, that's a gorgeous car. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| And they will. | ||
| And it'll look like that, but it may not have those seams. | ||
| It's pretty similar to what their car looks like. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But wider. | |
| It's not much different other than the wider. | ||
| I saw one of those. | ||
| It might have been the best looking car I've ever seen in my life. | ||
| It was a silver. | ||
| Like a metallic silver. | ||
| Like a bright silver Singer. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it was online. | ||
| Understated. | ||
| Glorious. | ||
| God damn. | ||
| See if you find that. | ||
| Bright silver Singer. | ||
| Have you seen one in person before? | ||
| Up close? | ||
| Never. | ||
| Dude, your mind would be blown. | ||
| They have, at a minimum, $45,000 or $50,000 of leather in one of those cars. | ||
| The leather work in the interior of those cars is unbelievable. | ||
| It's beyond anything from any manufacturer today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, that's it. | ||
| That's a sexy motherfucker right there. | ||
| Goddamn, that's a good-looking car. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| That's very, very nice. | ||
| What is it about certain shapes, right? | ||
| Well, what Singer does is they distill, you know, the best of each generation of car into one car. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so you're looking at a highly idealized 911, but you can't exactly picture what came from where and why. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's gangster. | ||
| And those Fooks, those wheels, for whatever reason, they just work. | ||
| Especially that green car. | ||
| Go back to that green car. | ||
| They made them real big on the green car, but the design works so well. | ||
| There's the Williams engine. | ||
| Goddamn! | ||
| That looks good. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But that's perfect. | ||
| So scroll down, Jamie. | ||
| The Williams... | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| So you see? | ||
| Look at the air intakes. | ||
| That's where your rear windows would be. | ||
| So there are no rear windows. | ||
| There are only those air intakes that go directly into the engine. | ||
| To cool that furnace off. | ||
| No, not cooling. | ||
| That's the actual air intake to get into the combustion chamber. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| The cooling, it's air-cooled, so you see that silver kind of nipple on the right side there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| That's the center of the fan. | ||
| It gets cooled in from the back there. | ||
| Now, like, this is basically the same size as a regular inline six? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Flat six. | |
| Or straight flat six? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Roughly, the engine itself is roughly the same size, yeah. | ||
| So what they've done is just engineer it to the max. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Well, they have what are, in theory, are the most advanced cylinder heads ever put onto an air-cooled 911. That looks incredible. | ||
| And they're going to stick that in a car that was originally, what, 93? | ||
| Something like that? | ||
| Yeah, something like that. | ||
| Yeah, 91 to 94. God. | ||
| Isn't it funny, though, that there's something unbelievably appealing about those air-cooled cars that is willing to have these rich people pay a million dollars, or at least the current thing is a half million dollars for this car, just because you feel it more. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| When you drive it, it's just got a feel to it. | ||
| There's a certain kind of mechanical brilliance to it that's really, really, It's incomparable, really. | ||
| It's very unique. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, there's something about those old cars, particularly the ones that don't have power steering. | ||
| You get a thrill out of them. | ||
| There's a weird thrill, even when you're not even driving fast. | ||
| Especially with a Porsche, when you have no power steering combined with front engine car, it sucks. | ||
| No power steering when the engine's in the back is okay, because the front of the car is pretty light, so you don't need too much muscle. | ||
| But the 911 steering is just super, super direct. | ||
| Yeah, it's super direct, and it's just, I don't know, man. | ||
| It just feels like a different thing you're doing. | ||
| I had a buddy that had a Volkswagen Bug growing up. | ||
| Didn't have a lot of power in it, but those Volkswagen bugs, those fucking things, like when you drive them around, they give you a little smile on your face. | ||
| Because you're driving like this little tiny thing that feels completely connected with the road. | ||
| It's not very capable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| But it's like you're smiling when you drive one of those. | ||
| It's like you're in a little ride. | ||
| The ultimate Volkswagen is they're taking, in Germany, they take the buses, the micro buses, and they chop them down so they're compressed, and they put full Porsche floor pan drive train. | ||
| And so, remember that 996 turbo you had? | ||
| The all-wheel drive? | ||
| So they'll put that whole floor pan on a micro bus, and they'll go to track days and beat up on race cars. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| There, look. | ||
| Seriously, look. | ||
| Here's one. | ||
| That is so crazy. | ||
| Look, 530 horsepower Porsche 993 bi-turbo powered Volkswagen microbus. | ||
| That is so crazy. | ||
| Look at the rear window. | ||
| See the intake on the rear window there? | ||
| That's so crazy. | ||
| And that's on a racetrack. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| And it probably weighs nothing, right? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| And I mean, look what happens. | ||
| God forbid you crash one of those. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah, there's crazy people out there. | ||
| I saw them taking VW bugs and put Porsche engines in them. | ||
| I know they've been doing that. | ||
| Yeah, well, the common one is the old 356 engines. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I think someone was putting an older 911 engine in it. | ||
| Or a 912 engine. | ||
| 912 engine. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| The four-cylinder. | ||
| Four-cylinder, yeah. | ||
| 912s are... | ||
| People are paying way too much money for them. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Stop it. | ||
| Yeah, they're like 30-40 thousand dollars. | ||
| Really? | ||
| They're so slow. | ||
| Yeah, that's a slow-ass car, right? | ||
| They're so slow, yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You need to have, like, I get that it's about feel, and yeah, 912s have feel, but at a certain point, there has to be some pace associated with your sports car. | ||
| Now, when they made those cars, it was the same shell on the outside as a 911? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, they just, like, decontented it, you know, cheapened everything, and then put the old engine in it. | ||
| And like put a crazy 993 engine in it and do all the suspension, it would still be a 912. Isn't that weird? | ||
| There's people that convert 912s sort of into 911s all the time. | ||
| Yeah, but people know. | ||
| Yeah, all the people who care know. | ||
| But that's what's so crazy about it, is that essentially it's the same good stuff as a 911, what it looks like on the outside. | ||
| But do the numbers match? | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| But isn't it weird? | ||
| The difference with Porsche people, I mean, the difference between $40,000 and $400,000 will be the most minute, insignificant bullshit. | ||
| Oh, this one was delivered with, you know, leather-covered vents and a leather-covered fuse box and a fucking fuchsia steering wheel, and it had the lightweight glass. | ||
| So that one's $400,000 and that one's $40,000. | ||
| I mean, that's really what it is. | ||
| It's the only... | ||
| Muscle cars, you know, same thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This was one of four delivered in plum crazy and an automatic transmission on a Tuesday with a white roof and a cum stain in the backseat from the factory. | |
| I love those auctions where you see the greed in people's eyes just going off. | ||
| The funny thing is when people get in a bidding war and overpay for something by 40 grand and still feel like they won. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They feel like they scored. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't give a... | |
| As long as that motherfucker didn't get it. | ||
| I went to Barrett-Jackson for the first time ever this year. | ||
| I had to see it in person. | ||
| It's a shit show. | ||
| Is it? | ||
| It's an absolute shit show. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| And, you know, it's in Scottsdale. | ||
| But Barrett-Jackson itself, what they don't show you on TV, is that you can buy anything there. | ||
| Like, you can buy... | ||
| They had... | ||
| Jet turbine-powered fan boats that you could buy. | ||
| It's like the auction, and then a mile of swap-meaty shit. | ||
| And you could buy custom-made cowboy boots, and Tempur-Pedic beds, and home furnishings, and terrible art, and watches, and massage chairs. | ||
| Anything you could think of. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was just such a... | |
| Like, sea of commerce. | ||
| Damn. | ||
| And there's, like, a lot of cars that don't make TV that are either amazing or very, very sad in their own way. | ||
| What do you have to do to get in there? | ||
| Is there, like, a qualification thing? | ||
| To just walk in? | ||
| No, to set a car in there. | ||
| Oh, you just go on their website and apply to sell a car. | ||
| I think... | ||
| I think they're happy to take your money and try and sell your car. | ||
| I don't think there's any restrictions. | ||
| So what would stop a guy like Eric Andre from going there with a Pinto? | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| I don't think anything other than someone figuring out the joke before he did it, but I don't think much. | ||
| I think he could probably do it. | ||
| But for the most part, it's people that are pretty serious about cars. | ||
| It was a lot of dealers. | ||
| It was a lot more dealers that seemed like they were selling to each other in terms of the actual buying and the selling. | ||
| But yeah, I mean, there's a lot of NASCAR jackets out there. | ||
| A lot of NASCAR jackets. | ||
| And then you see they have some of the higher-end auctions, too, which sort of resemble the Pebble Beachy ones. | ||
| Do you still have that crazy Corvette? | ||
| Sold it. | ||
| I have a crazy Mustang now. | ||
| What'd you get? | ||
| It's a Fox Body. | ||
| It's on the cover of Car Craft this month. | ||
| And it's in Speed Hunters as well. | ||
| It did a great article in it in Speed Hunters. | ||
| That is a ridiculous car. | ||
| It's awesome. | ||
| I heard Rutledge on your show and you guys were shitting on Fox Bodies. | ||
| You or him called it like the worst piece of shit ever. | ||
| Fuck you, Rut. | ||
| Why'd you decide to soup up that car? | ||
| Because it was a car I wanted in high school but couldn't have. | ||
| It's the high school reliving car. | ||
| Oh, well, over the top. | ||
| Imagine pulling up to high school with that thing. | ||
| If you go back in a time machine. | ||
| Bro, I went to my actual 10-year high school reunion in an orange Lamborghini as a goof, and there was literally not a single soul outside when I parked it up front. | ||
| Zero people saw it. | ||
| Arrival. | ||
| It couldn't have been more wasted. | ||
| Shit. | ||
| Isn't that funny? | ||
| That's what you want in a car like that. | ||
| It's like 80% arrival. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| 100% arrival. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Pulling up and getting out. | ||
| If they see the Lamborghini... | ||
| There's my Mustang. | ||
| If you see the Lamborghini on the way out of the reunion, it's really lame. | ||
| It just was not the best looking year. | ||
| No, look. | ||
| I have the Notchback. | ||
| And the Notchback is better. | ||
| Mine was a police car. | ||
| Was it? | ||
| Yeah, it was a highway patrol car. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| See, that's the notch back there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It was cheaper to get those. | ||
| I remember you could get the 5.0 engine with that. | ||
| Right, in the lat. | ||
| And the point of that is the police cars were the lightest ones. | ||
| So no air conditioning, no sunroof, no fog lights, no power windows, no power door locks. | ||
| Really? | ||
| That was the lightest V8-powered Mustang ever made. | ||
| Look at my interior. | ||
| That's legit! | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I love crazy fabrics so much. | ||
| That interior is badass. | ||
| It's Cholo fantastic. | ||
| I actually like it. | ||
| I thought I would hate that. | ||
| No, it's like 70s outdoor patio furniture. | ||
| Keep that image back up there, Jamie. | ||
| I like the... | ||
| We're getting Joe an interior today. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I could never go like that. | ||
| Just leave that there. | ||
| The gauges, man. | ||
| Everything you did there. | ||
| Porsche-style steering wheel. | ||
| I love it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Protopo. | |
| I love that. | ||
| I love the shifters. | ||
| Is that a Hurst? | ||
| Yeah, a Hurst shifter. | ||
| And then the center tray in between the Recaro seats is from a 73 Mercedes 280. Wow. | ||
| And then the pattern came from Modern Fabrics, and it's like an outdoor patio furniture fabric. | ||
| So it's like UV-resistant and spill-resistant. | ||
| What are those wheels? | ||
| Jamie, click on those wheels on the right-hand side. | ||
| What are the wheels? | ||
| I have a, it's called, they're a HRE RS 105s, which is a three-piece forged wheel. | ||
| And I'm running 295 tires at all four corners. | ||
| So they're 18 by 10 and a half at all four corners. | ||
| They're awesome wheels. | ||
| That must handle amazing. | ||
| Oh, it sticks so... | ||
| It sticks like a GT3. It turns in so hard. | ||
| And I'm running... | ||
| The tires are Sport Cup 2s, which are like the GT3 tires. | ||
| And what does this car weigh, you think? | ||
| 3110 wet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| So it's pretty good. | ||
| It's got really good brakes, really good handling. | ||
| It's medium fast. | ||
| It's about 350 horsepower, so it's quick enough. | ||
| Are you going to leave the engine the way it is? | ||
| Well, it has a crate motor in it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Which it could use some more. | ||
| It could use a little more. | ||
| And so if I keep the car long term, I'm gonna take out that engine and put in the GT350 engine. | ||
| If I keep the car long term. | ||
| How many horsepower is a GT3? 525. But it revs to 8200. That's what it's really about. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, I heard one of those in a video. | ||
| It's the greatest. | ||
| I was like, that doesn't sound anything like a Mustang. | ||
| It doesn't. | ||
| It sounds like something more Italian, almost. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I was going to say like a Ferrari, almost. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, they do a different firing order, and they also... | ||
| I think it's... | ||
| Someone's going to harry me if that's wrong. | ||
| But the flat plane crank changes the sound. | ||
| GT350 exhaust. | ||
| 2018 GT350. It's pretty glorious. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I'm terrified that they're going to come out with that GT500 and I'm going to fall in love. | ||
| It could happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm going to fall in love. | |
| It could happen. | ||
| It has a very, uh... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds amazing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I think you have one of my videos open in the background, Jamie, because I'm hearing double. | ||
| God damn it, Jamie. | ||
| You son of a bitch. | ||
| Listen, but... | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Oh, that sounds so good. | ||
| Yeah, it's very unlike anything else on the road. | ||
| Very distinctive. | ||
| So that's one of the most special engines. | ||
| How happy is that car? | ||
| 3700 pounds. | ||
| They're all heavy. | ||
| Why can't anybody figure that out? | ||
| Because people want features. | ||
| People want features. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Everybody, though. | ||
| Some people don't want that. | ||
| That's why people like you and I are so fascinated by something like Singer. | ||
| We don't want to spend that kind of money. | ||
| You can't have light and cheap and fast. | ||
| You gotta pick one. | ||
| If you want light and cheap, it's your Miata. | ||
| You know? | ||
| You can't have a... | ||
| If they had a 3,000 pound Mustang that had the features that people demand from a modern car, it would be $200,000. | ||
| You'd have a Ferrari, you know? | ||
| Yeah, but even Ferraris aren't that light anymore. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| What is the lightest thing you could buy? | ||
| Like a Porsche Boxster? | ||
| There's the Lotus Evora. | ||
| Evora 410 is under 3,000 pounds, I think, which is a really, really, really, really nice car. | ||
| I drove that little one, the little Lotus. | ||
| The Exige? | ||
| Yeah, I drove that a few years back. | ||
| The Evora doesn't beat you up like that does. | ||
| It didn't have any horsepower, though. | ||
| The Evora 410 has a lot. | ||
| The other one. | ||
| No, not the Evora. | ||
| The Exige. | ||
| The one where it doesn't have any floor panels, doesn't have anything. | ||
| I was like, this is kind of interesting. | ||
| Because it's like a little go-kart. | ||
| That's Lotus's thing, yeah. | ||
| So that's what I drove. | ||
| That's the Evora Sport 410. I just drove that, and it's really, really good. | ||
| Yeah, it's really nice. | ||
| And that's also a manual transmission. | ||
| It is, yeah. | ||
| It's a supercharged Camry engine, believe it or not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| How many horsepower? | ||
| 410. Supercharged Camry engine. | ||
| That's a beautiful car, man. | ||
| It's really good looking, and it's got a titanium exhaust. | ||
| God, that's so unique. | ||
| You know, in a sea of 911s, it does stand out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| You would like that car, I think. | ||
| God damn it. | ||
| That would be a good one for you. | ||
| Like you need another one. | ||
| That's a pretty car too, but that's the other one. | ||
| That's the lease, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, the lease is the one that I drove, that gray one that you just clicked on, Jamie. | ||
| I drove that. | ||
| That's a beautiful looking car, but it's got no balls. | ||
| No. | ||
| I was so stunned. | ||
| I was like, this is crazy how slow this is. | ||
| You might have driven the smaller engine one. | ||
| They made some that were a little faster. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, the base one was like 180 horsepower, and then they go up to 260 or 280. But there's something thrilling about it. | ||
| Oh, it's like driving a flea. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How much does that thing weigh, you think? | ||
| 2,500 or something. | ||
| It's light. | ||
| It's very light. | ||
| Yeah, it's nothing. | ||
| And it's beautiful. | ||
| They just make beautiful cars. | ||
| Those Lotuses are... | ||
| They will be $30,000 used cars until the end of time. | ||
| The release. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's absolutely bottomed out at 30 grand, and you can buy them and sell them at 30 grand all day. | ||
| Isn't it funny how cars were worth almost nothing and then like a 73 RS America. | ||
| It wasn't an RS America. | ||
| No, just an RS. An RS. 73 RS is worth like a million dollars now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It used to be worth $20,000 just a few years ago. | ||
| Like how did that happen? | ||
| I remember I saw those for sale. | ||
| And someone was saying, this is the perfect Porsche. | ||
| It's not the most powerful. | ||
| It's only like 225 horsepower or something like that. | ||
| But it's so light and so fun to drive. | ||
| And I was like, get the fuck out of here with 225 horsepower. | ||
| Well, it's like, you know, the world has become more... | ||
| Automated, right? | ||
| Everything is faster, more efficient, but less involved and less mechanical. | ||
| And at the same time, you've got, especially with Porsche, a younger audience, a very wealthy audience that has really decided to use the older collector cars as a currency that you can drive and investments. | ||
| There's a lot of rich people out there right now. | ||
| And they're not making any more 1973, 9-11s. | ||
| That's one of the things that people have a real problem with Singer, is they're taking those cars and they're chopping them the fuck up. | ||
| They're taking a 964 and just... | ||
| Chopping the shit out of that bitch! | ||
| Yeah, they're taking a $100,000 car and turning it into a $500,000 car that if you can get on the list and get one and you take it home, it's immediately worth $700,000 on the open market. | ||
| I bet, right? | ||
| Because people don't want to wait a year. | ||
| The flipper market for a singer, it's like, name your price. | ||
| Name your price. | ||
| If you wanted to get a singer made, how many years is even his waiting list? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pfft! | |
| Two years, three years? | ||
| So two years, three years for waiting less than a year to make the car. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they're making it by hand with carbon fiber. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's crazy. | ||
| I've seen the videos of people visiting the factory. | ||
| It's not far from here. | ||
| You should go. | ||
| I should go, but I'm scared. | ||
| I don't want to go in there. | ||
| I'll introduce you. | ||
| Don't do it. | ||
| Don't do it. | ||
| I'll start doing numbers in my head. | ||
| And then there's a whole cut. | ||
| Singer, I think, not to dwell on Singer so much, but they opened the door for a... | ||
| A sub-industry below them that's doing $200,000, you know, builds that are like halfway to Singer. | ||
| For most people, that's probably like, yeah, that's what I'm looking for. | ||
| For most people, that's really fucking excessive. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Most people. | ||
| I bought, you know, I'm doing this Safari thing, but I bought my 87 Carrera and it's stock, and I almost didn't want to start modifying it because it was just such a nice thing to drive around. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was just lovely. | ||
| Well, that's recent enough to... | ||
| Where they have good brakes, and it's a super light car. | ||
| 80s is good. | ||
| I think what's great, there's a series of shows now called Radwood. | ||
| Radwood? | ||
| Yeah, it's a car show for 80s and 90s cars. | ||
| It's fucking great, dude. | ||
| It's great, because these are cars you can drive. | ||
| They have air conditioning, they have reasonably modern whatever. | ||
| You could just start them up and drive them. | ||
| Dude, it's like... | ||
| Old 80s Benz's and just this great, great scene of 80s and 90s cars at Radwin. | ||
| They've got a bunch of shows around, come out and say hi, I met a bunch of them. | ||
| But, you know, people like my age, I'm 36, are seeing these cars as collectible now, and it's going to usher in a new market. | ||
| Dude, there's a lot of good investments to be made in 80s and 90s cars right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know what I have? | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| These are good-looking cars. | ||
| Dude, this is like an 86 Acura Legend that looks mint. | ||
| A buddy of mine had an Acura Legend just like that. | ||
| He loved that thing. | ||
| My first car was an 87. Was it an 87 Legend? | ||
| That's a great car. | ||
| You know, one car that I had that I wish I didn't get rid of? | ||
| Look at that Prelude. | ||
| It's so clean. | ||
| I had the last year of the NSX. Oh, really? | ||
| The 02? | ||
| Yeah, with the headlights fixed, the fixed headlights. | ||
| You shouldn't have gotten rid of it. | ||
| Shouldn't have gotten rid of it. | ||
| It's a big dollar car right now. | ||
| It's a hot item. | ||
| I loved it. | ||
| I loved it, too. | ||
| That was a light-ass car. | ||
| I don't know what those things weighed. | ||
| 28, 29. I'll tell you what, if you like that car, that Lotus 410 I just showed you, you would love that. | ||
| Really? | ||
| That is the new version of that car. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I don't know if I want the new version, though. | ||
| I think I like the old version. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| No, no, the new version feels like the old version, but with, like, Bluetooth. | ||
| Oh, with Bluetooth. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And your basics. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| Right there. | ||
| Fuck, that was a great car. | ||
| So light. | ||
| They're very, and they're durable. | ||
| You can drive them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| People put miles on them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a Honda. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, how did they figure it out so much better than the Americans did when it came to reliability? | ||
| Well, they just built a light car and then put their Accord engine in it, pretty much. | ||
| Yeah, but I mean all their cars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| I mean, you go through across the board. | ||
| We were talking earlier about Land Cruisers. | ||
| That's like got to be one of the most reliable cars in the history of the free world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Why the fuck are they so good at that and most companies, like American companies, during that same age? | ||
| Like, you get a 1990s Ford. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I know. | |
| It's terrible. | ||
| Good luck if that thing's still running. | ||
| Right, yeah, I know. | ||
| But 1995 Land Cruisers are driving through Africa right now. | ||
| Land Cruisers are an interesting example specifically because I went on the press launch for a Land Cruiser, so I know this. | ||
| Most cars are built to a 10-year service life. | ||
| The Land Cruiser is built to a 25-year service life. | ||
| The Land Cruiser's parts are almost 100% unique to Land Cruiser. | ||
| They share very few parts with anything else in Toyota's lineup. | ||
| And that's why you look at, you go, oh, it's a full-size SUV. Why is this thing $90,000? | ||
| Because everything on it is industrial-grade shit, designed to last twice as long as like any other car. | ||
| Yeah, it seems like when you drive it went too. | ||
| Tanks. | ||
| Absolute tanks. | ||
| And they're over-engineered. | ||
| But I think in the 80s and 90s, I think the Japanese design and production philosophy was just so far beyond where we were. | ||
| Yeah, we were making shit during those years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Garbage. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| I mean, I have an 88 Mustang, you just saw. | ||
| I have an 87 Porsche, and I had a 1990 Nissan Skyline GTR. The Porsche and the fucking Skyline are same time, same time period. | ||
| They're spaceships compared to the hunk of shit that is my Mustang. | ||
| Those Skylines are badass, man. | ||
| They're awesome. | ||
| Skylines are super cool. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I sold it, but I doubled up in six months, though. | ||
| They're hot. | ||
| Well, think about what they did with the GT-R. When Nissan came out with the GT-R. The newest one, yeah. | ||
| Dude, I've only driven one of those twice. | ||
| But one time when I drove one, the most remarkable thing about it was I was taking a turn to hit an off-ramp, and I was like a little late. | ||
| I was like, oh, that's the light. | ||
| I gotta change lanes. | ||
| And it just went like this, crossed the lanes, zip. | ||
| Like nothing. | ||
| There was no lean. | ||
| There was nothing. | ||
| It just defied physics. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I was like, this thing's crazy. | ||
| It's calculating how much mass is leaning this way and adjusting to flatten everything out electronically. | ||
| So actually, the new Acura NSX, that's like the supercar-y one, it's like $150,000, does that same thing that the GT-R did in 2009, but it does it much more seamlessly so you think you did it. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That awesome driving that just happened? | ||
| In the GTR, you're like, wow, the GTR is doing all this awesome shit. | ||
| In the NSX, you're like, I'm a fucking hero. | ||
| Because it's so seamless. | ||
| The GTR, it's a mechanical all-wheel drive system with these clutch packs and whatever. | ||
| So you can hear it clunk-clunk-clunking around and moving power and doing all this shit. | ||
| The NSX is rear-wheel drive gas engine. | ||
| And then electric motors in the front wheel. | ||
| So it can do all kinds of funky shit with the front wheels. | ||
| The two wheels can be going completely different speeds from each other. | ||
| It's completely independent of what's happening at the back. | ||
| It's all these computer algorithms, but it's magic front end. | ||
| It's front end that cannot happen within the constraints of like normal rotational physics. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa! | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Dude, you should work for Acura. | ||
| I should sell cars. | ||
| You got my dick hard for an NSX. It's a good buy right now. | ||
| People don't want them. | ||
| They're cheap. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Because they're not like the old one, like you said. | ||
| You want the old one. | ||
| People want it to stick and simple and it's complicated. | ||
| But if people were looking for a double clutch supercar, that seems to be a really good bargain. | ||
| It's a great looking car. | ||
| It is. | ||
| I had one for a week and it was awesome. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| And apparently the power seems very accessible. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Sorry, I'm very thirsty. | ||
| It's very forgiving and very easy to drive, and it makes you feel like Mario Andretti. | ||
| I hope they don't not make them anymore. | ||
| I get paranoid. | ||
| I think they've got to make them for a bit. | ||
| They've committed, but I think you should buy one if you think you might like one. | ||
| I felt a tinge of responsibility when the Viper went out of business that I never bought a Viper because they're so preposterous. | ||
| It's such a preposterous car. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| Like, I thought about getting one of those ACRs with the wings and the vented hoods and stuff like that. | ||
| I'm like, just because it's such a douchebag car. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it seems like if you were to list off, like, the checkboxes of things that you personally enjoy, it seems like it does actually tick most of those boxes. | ||
| It's in there. | ||
| It's in the wheelhouse. | ||
| Yeah, aside from totally looking like a penis. | ||
| Besides that, it really ticks the rest of the box. | ||
| Yeah, it looks like Godzilla's dick. | ||
| It looks like this sort of, like, super space-age automatronic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| It's very shredder. | ||
| But it's so American, too. | ||
| It's such a ridiculous thing to build. | ||
| Well, what's so American about it is that rather than, you know, Porsche developing this insane gearbox, you know, that can shift in a microsecond and Nissan doing this crazy fucking all-wheel drive system and, you know, whoever Acura doing their torque vectoring electric motors, Viper's just like... | ||
| More downforce. | ||
| You know, we don't know. | ||
| Manual gearbox. | ||
| Just, yeah, just more downforce. | ||
| Develop the stickiest tire you can find. | ||
| Here, you can pop these things out and get even more downforce. | ||
| And that's, like, the whole thing. | ||
| Yeah, the whole thing. | ||
| Just put wings on it, and that'll be fine. | ||
| Just wings. | ||
| But meanwhile, they brought it to every racetrack, and every racetrack they were breaking records. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Yeah, it's the most American thing ever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Fuck y'all, I just bought a bigger gun. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fuck it. | |
| The biggest.50 caliber machine gun ever. | ||
| Desert Eagle, 5.0, yeah. | ||
| It's America! | ||
| Big ol' American dick. | ||
| It's super America. | ||
| Yeah, but then they stopped making them. | ||
| I'm sad. | ||
| Well, because America isn't necessarily commercially viable sometimes. | ||
| Oh, come on. | ||
| The age of Trump. | ||
| I think you can bring it back. | ||
| Bring it back. | ||
| Vipers for everybody. | ||
| Vipers for everybody. | ||
| Every coal miner gets a viper. | ||
| A job and a Viper for every coal miner. | ||
| It's the most preposterous American car, would you agree? | ||
| Well, we have some preposterous vehicles here in America. | ||
| I mean, the fact that you can get a pickup truck version of an Escalade is pretty funny. | ||
| They do that still? | ||
| I think they may have stopped. | ||
| I think I may have stepped on my own joke. | ||
| That's okay. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Preposterous? | ||
| Yeah, it's up there. | ||
| The Ford GT is pretty preposterous in a very good way. | ||
| That's a super car, though. | ||
| It's extremely super. | ||
| Is John Cena in trouble for selling his Ford GT? I don't think so. | ||
| I don't think the contract is enforceable. | ||
| You don't think so? | ||
| I'm just going by what I've read. | ||
| Tell people what the story is. | ||
| So, to get one of the new Ford GTs, It's what's called a homologation race car. | ||
| So they wanted to go win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in a certain class, the LMGTE class. | ||
| In order to race in that class, it has to be a street car. | ||
| So you have to build a certain number of street cars. | ||
| You can't just build a dedicated race car. | ||
| That would be called the prototype class. | ||
| So they had to build, I think the number is 499. It's 400 and something, 450, 499, whatever it is. | ||
| Ford decides that the demand will outstrip the supply, and rather than highest biddering or whatever, they make you apply. | ||
| So you have to be a social media star or a celebrity or someone. | ||
| You had to tell them why you should have a Ford GT and what you were going to do with it and how you were going to share your Ford GT with the world. | ||
| And then they would decide... | ||
| That you had earned the right to buy their $450,000 car. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jesus. | |
| And it came with a contract that you couldn't sell it for two years. | ||
| They didn't want people flipping them. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Which, apparently, is exactly what John Cena went and did. | ||
| It seems like that guy must be so fucking rich. | ||
| Like, why would he violate the contract for a couple hundred grand? | ||
| I've never met John Cena. | ||
| Is he huge? | ||
| Is he a very huge person? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's enormous. | |
| How huge is he? | ||
| He's so enormous. | ||
| Well, he's just enormous, like width. | ||
| I bet he's probably only like 6'3 or 6'4. | ||
| If he's 6'4, he can't fit in it. | ||
| So if he took delivery and can't fit in it, that's probably why he would get rid of it rather than sit on it for two years. | ||
| Find out how tall Mr. Cena is. | ||
| I'm 6'2 and my head hit the ceiling. | ||
| Oh, that's probably exactly what it is. | ||
| He's probably 6'2", at least. | ||
| He seems like a guy who should be even longer and taller than he is because he's so thick. | ||
| It's almost like they chopped off a foot of his arms in every place. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| He's a giant, but his wrists are like fucking tree trunks. | ||
| Hilarious. | ||
| 6'2". | ||
| It'd be close. | ||
| It'd be close. | ||
| Six foot two or six foot? | ||
| Six foot 250 pounds. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| He's shorter than I thought. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's shorter than I thought. | |
| Well, I don't know why he sold it, but he did. | ||
| Well, maybe even for him. | ||
| If it's two inches for you, maybe he felt squashed in there. | ||
| Look, I drove it for one day. | ||
| I don't know what kind of sacrifices to buy it. | ||
| Short little fuck like me might be a good car. | ||
| Be good for you. | ||
| So the seat is fixed, and the pedals and steering wheel are adjustable. | ||
| You can't adjust the seat. | ||
| How bizarre. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The pedals come to you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't think I like that. | ||
| That's what you gotta do, man. | ||
| It's what you have to do. | ||
| Because the shape of the car dictates. | ||
| The seat back angles a bit. | ||
| But can't you just make the seat slide, put the seat on some rollers? | ||
| It isn't like a seat. | ||
| No, you can't. | ||
| The car is so low. | ||
| A seat rail is like inches. | ||
| Precious inches. | ||
| Precious inches. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Dude, the roof is 43 inches from the ground. | ||
| That's like this. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| That's the roof? | ||
| It's so low. | ||
| It's that low? | ||
| It's 43 inches. | ||
| It's from the roof to the ground. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Compared to all the car... | ||
| It won Le Mans, by the way, in the year it was supposed to. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| You park it next to a 911. A 911 is like six inches taller than one of these things. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| That makes a really big difference in the 24 hours of Le Mans. | ||
| Oh, sure. | ||
| You're talking 200 mile an hour straightaway speeds. | ||
| That's a huge difference. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So they've designed the car... | ||
| Without seat rails to get everything even further down, you know? | ||
| It's a dope looking car. | ||
| I saw one that was black with red stripes. | ||
| That was the press car. | ||
| That was the one I was driving around. | ||
| Leno's got the same color, too. | ||
| God, that's a pretty car. | ||
| It's gangster. | ||
| That's a pretty car. | ||
| It's carbon fiber wheels, which are lovely. | ||
| Carbon fiber wheels. | ||
| So there's two kinds of weight in a car. | ||
| There's sprung weight and unsprung weight. | ||
| What's that mean? | ||
| So sprung weight is weight that is... | ||
| Most of what you think of as the car. | ||
| The engine, the body, anything that is sprung on the suspension. | ||
| Unsprung weight is weight on the car that is not sprung on the suspension. | ||
| So wheels, brake rotors, tires, suspension components that aren't sitting on the suspension, right? | ||
| So it's like a rough calculation, but like roughly one pound of unsprung weight Will translate the feeling of five pounds of sprung weight. | ||
| So meaning like if you are able to pull 20 pounds of unsprung weight out of your car, each wheel is five pounds lighter than a stock wheel, okay? | ||
| So you're now about 20 pounds unsprung weight out of your car, your car will feel like you pulled 100 pounds out of it. | ||
| And it will stop, start, accelerate, turn better than Commute totally. | ||
| It'll perform better in all areas. | ||
| So to go from a forged aluminum wheel, which is 23 or 24 or 25 pounds a wheel, to a carbon fiber wheel that's like 11 pounds a wheel, You're pulling so much unsprung weight out of the car, it'll feel like, you know, swinging a baseball bat with a weight on it and then just throwing that weight away. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Massive, massive, massive, massive, massive difference. | ||
| And the wheels are so expensive! | ||
| I would imagine. | ||
| Like, how many companies make carbon fiber wheels? | ||
|
unidentified
|
One. | |
| One! | ||
| They're called Carbon Revolution and they're from Australia. | ||
| And do they only make them for the Ford GT? You can buy the wheels. | ||
| They have fitments for a few different cars. | ||
| Porsche GT3 is one. | ||
| And they make them for Ford. | ||
| Will you do me a favor, Jamie, and pull up the photo of that black Ford GT with the red stripes? | ||
| It's on my Instagram, if you have my Instagram handy, the one I drove. | ||
| Fuck, man. | ||
| It's an incredibly... | ||
| The road presence is just obscene. | ||
| And it makes noises that only... | ||
| Look at that thing. | ||
| God damn! | ||
| It makes noises that only race cars make. | ||
| There's a specific sound. | ||
| Like, you know the pops and crackles you get from most of these modern cars when they dump the fuel in the exhaust and shit? | ||
| It's cool, but it's a synthetic-y sound. | ||
| It's programmed. | ||
| This does that not programmed. | ||
| It's just like... | ||
| Fuel into header, bang! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| It's just so race car. | ||
| It's so nice. | ||
| And this goes for like $500,000? | ||
| Yeah, $450,000 if you can get one. | ||
| But you can't get one. | ||
| But you can't get one. | ||
| Unless you know John Cena. | ||
| I mean, the rumor is he got like over a million for his, but... | ||
| Oh, so somebody ordered... | ||
| Well, that makes sense. | ||
| He flipped it. | ||
| Yeah, he flipped it. | ||
| And so they're suing him. | ||
| Yeah, I read that it was thrown out. | ||
| They sued him for a breach of contract for selling it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But he claims or claimed that the contract didn't say he couldn't sell it. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| So was it a verbal agreement or something? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I don't know. | |
| Maybe it was one of those things they just hoped nobody would call him out on. | ||
| Maybe it's unenforceable. | ||
| How do they sell you something and then enforce that you can't sell the thing you bought? | ||
| You can't do that. | ||
| You literally can't do that. | ||
| I don't think that's enforceable. | ||
| I think once the contract is signed and you take possession of this object, that's yours. | ||
| To do whatever you want. | ||
| I think, morally, I completely agree. | ||
| This is America, motherfucker. | ||
| But Ford, fucking hats off. | ||
| You made a dope-ass car. | ||
| That thing's amazing. | ||
| It's extremely, extremely crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God. | |
| It really... | ||
| It's unlike anything else on the road, because even... | ||
| Even the very, very high-end supercars, you know, your Lamborghini Aventadors that are $400,000 and your V12 Ferraris and all that stuff, are fundamentally, they're road cars. | ||
| And even when they go racing with them, they sort of take the road car and modify it for racing. | ||
| This is so clearly a race car that they had to build some street cars, you know. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And it's fucking rocking. | ||
| It looks amazing. | ||
| It's got an air brake on it. | ||
| What's that mean? | ||
| Go back to the rear picture. | ||
| Yeah, so the wing, the whole wing, that whole wing that goes across the back there, lifts up. | ||
| When you hit the brakes. | ||
| Well, when you start driving quick, it lifts up and becomes a wing wing. | ||
| And then when you hit the brakes, it flips up and becomes an actual air brake. | ||
| And it is extremely effective. | ||
| I would imagine. | ||
| What it does is, you know, when you break, the car nosedives, it completely eliminates the dive. | ||
| So the car just squats straight down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| It's wild. | ||
| It's fucking gorgeous. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Are they going to keep making them? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| Why not, Ford? | ||
| If I had to guess, they'd lose money on every single one they make. | ||
| If I had to guess. | ||
| What kind of a bullshit war do we run in here? | ||
| I know. | ||
| Trump, I thought you were gonna fix all this. | ||
| I thought that was part of your platform. | ||
| That's what I heard. | ||
| It's gonna make American cars great again. | ||
| The car economy is such a global economy. | ||
| The Hellcats are built like in Canada. | ||
| We make BMW X5s in South Carolina. | ||
| Well, we make Ford Tundras in Texas. | ||
| Toyota Tundra? | ||
| Toyota Tundra, sorry. | ||
| Yeah, Toyotas make a couple different cars here in America, right? | ||
| Honda's make a couple cars in America. | ||
| I think Japanese automakers probably have at least as many auto workers in America as American car companies do. | ||
| This is definitely the same car I was driving. | ||
| Look at that thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God. | |
| What is great is just the buttresses, like when it goes by, you can see right through the side of the car. | ||
| You can just see the air there between the tunnel and the pod. | ||
| That's so pretty. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That might be the best looking car I've ever seen. | ||
| It is so cool. | ||
| It is so fast. | ||
| As far as like American cars, that literally might be the best looking car I've ever seen. | ||
| I think if it's my money... | ||
| I would buy the older GT, the 2005 one, because I like the manual transmission. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And I just think that was just one of the best cars ever made. | ||
| Do you ever drive one of those? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What's that like? | ||
| The best. | ||
| Really? | ||
| The best. | ||
| The best best. | ||
| Yeah, because this is a race car, and everything that comes with it. | ||
| That one, it was... | ||
| Road car and it was let's make the best road car we can make and so it wasn't a particularly successful race car but as a road car it was just glorious the ride and the power and The style and the sound and you know, it's they had to develop that car very quickly I think the last time I was on this show we were talking about four GT's and you know so everything's over built so you can run like double stock horsepower and you can run almost 280 miles an hour in the fucking mile and these things on stock aero and Well, | ||
| people do crazy shit with them, like put twin turbos in them and stuff. | ||
| That's not even that crazy. | ||
| It's expensive, but it's proven science at this point. | ||
| They're not breaking any new ground. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Wow. | ||
| It's actually because they're supercharged from the factory, right? | ||
| So they're meant to handle forced induction. | ||
| So the turbo system... | ||
| You take off the supercharger and the turbo system supplants it? | ||
| Is that the right word? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It runs more boost, but it's a very, very strong engine, and so they're not completely different systems. | ||
| They both force air in. | ||
| They do it in different ways. | ||
| And when you buy one from the factory, how many horsepower did it come with? | ||
| 550. 550 is a lot back then, too. | ||
| It's a bunch, yeah, with no traction control. | ||
| That was the last car, the Viper, it's the same year. | ||
| Viper might have had one year, but basically the last car without traction control. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Or stability control, yeah. | ||
| So a lot of people would crash them. | ||
| Oh yeah, I would imagine. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| My GT3 doesn't have shit on it. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, it has... | ||
| You don't have traction control in that car? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| No. | ||
| It has anti-lock brakes. | ||
| I don't think it has traction control. | ||
| Really? | ||
| No, I think the next model did. | ||
| Because it's the RS. Huh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| How fortunate for you if it doesn't? | ||
| It's a very raw car. | ||
| I loved your car. | ||
| I had a lot of fun driving your car. | ||
| They're fun cars, man. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| I think maybe the next thing I buy might be an RS. They're great. | ||
| I know. | ||
| They're getting so expensive. | ||
| I know, but it's safe money. | ||
| Well, that 2007 year, too, is like, that's the year. | ||
| The one afterwards, they became, then they started having traction control. | ||
| Make sure that's true. | ||
| I'm pretty sure it's true. | ||
| 2007 GT3 RS, no traction control. | ||
| I'm pretty sure. | ||
| There's a period of 2000 and... | ||
| Early 2000s up to end of 2000s, where Porsche was using the engine called the Metzger engine, which traced its way back to Le Mans. | ||
| It was a very, very strong engine. | ||
| You say that legit. | ||
| You mean correctly? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| You say Le Mans? | ||
| Le Mans, like the movie with Steve McQueen. | ||
| I fucking hate that movie. | ||
| That movie stinks. | ||
| Does it? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Steve McQueen movies stink! | ||
| Wow, you are a crazy person. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my god! | |
| How dare you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my god! | |
| I like the image of Steve McQueen. | ||
| I like what he represents. | ||
| Like this broody American from the 1960s. | ||
| You know, like one of the last of the real men. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, I like Steve McQueen based on the photographs of him I've seen. | ||
| I don't like his movies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like... | |
| I thought Lamont was interesting because it was like a snapshot of time. | ||
| Like, what's the other one? | ||
| Oh, Bullet. | ||
| Bullet, yeah. | ||
| Bullet's interesting. | ||
| It's like you're looking at a snapshot in time, you know? | ||
| Bullet is weird. | ||
| Why is San Francisco so empty in Bullet? | ||
| Well, it's because there was nobody alive back then. | ||
| People, there was no tech companies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There was no humans. | |
| There was very few people. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Chad, traffic was nothing back then, man. | ||
| Talk to somebody about what traffic was like in 1960 in LA. I think I just brought that up earlier in this show. | ||
| Well, I moved here in 94, and I remember when I moved here, it was nothing like this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Nothing. | ||
| It's gotten 100% worse. | ||
| It's like there's twice as many people here. | ||
| Fuck all of us. | ||
| It's so crazy. | ||
| Like you get on the highway on a Saturday night, just heading into LA on a Saturday night, and you're stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic for no reason. | ||
| No one's dead. | ||
| There's no accident. | ||
| It's just too many cars. | ||
| I'm reading a book right now called Traffic. | ||
| It's about the science of traffic. | ||
| And they did a study in LA and Saturday 2 p.m. | ||
| traffic is worse than any weekday rush hour in Los Angeles. | ||
| Because everybody's out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Everyone's out doing their shit. | ||
| Dude, you know, when you go to another city, like if you go to a big city like Seattle, and you're there with them and they complain about their traffic, you go, first of all, shut the fuck up. | ||
| Second of all... | ||
| What I'm doing must be wrong then, because I'm dealing with way too many people. | ||
| You guys have got it right. | ||
| This is the right amount. | ||
| You got a lot of people, but you don't have too many people. | ||
| Like in a medium-sized city that's not LA. Yeah. | ||
| And then traffic makes sense. | ||
| It goes in, it goes out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like here, it's just like, hence the scooter. | ||
| You want to get out before it gets all Blade Runner-y. | ||
| When's that gonna happen? | ||
| Well, you know, it's like those dudes like Magnus Walker who lives in downtown LA with his dreadlocks and his garage and his warehouse district. | ||
| Those guys like that shit, right? | ||
| He likes that shit. | ||
| He likes being an urbanite. | ||
| I'm super fucked. | ||
| I'm in Venice. | ||
| When that tsunami comes, I'm super fucked. | ||
| Oh yeah, you're right on the edge. | ||
| Yeah, it's not good for me. | ||
| Not looking good. | ||
| All the cars are done. | ||
| There's an app. | ||
| What's the app that wants to give us access? | ||
| The early warning app? | ||
| It says you have 60 seconds before you're fucking dead, basically. | ||
| Is that what they had in Hawaii? | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| There's an app now that's working in California. | ||
| It's the year about to die? | ||
| It's an earthquake that's about to hit. | ||
| Fuck. | ||
| They apparently have, depending upon the magnitude of the earthquake, which is really scary, because the higher magnitude possibility, the more time you have. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Yeah, they can give you up to a minute to know your fucks, Phil. | ||
| Dude, I'm just thinking. | ||
| How far can you get in a minute? | ||
| Nowhere. | ||
| Nowhere worth getting. | ||
| I can get to my closet. | ||
| Do you have stored food or anything? | ||
| I'm embarrassed that I don't. | ||
| I have a list of shit I should probably get for an earthquake that I don't know. | ||
| You must have a whole room of shit in this fucking palace of yours, right? | ||
| Not in here, but in here I have meat in here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But I do have commercial freezers. | |
| Of course you do. | ||
| For elk, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But I have emergency rations. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| And I have freeze-dried food, you know, that could last me a few months. | ||
| How would you, like, how would you physically get out of the city if you had to? | ||
| You would really be fucked. | ||
| Would you just start walking? | ||
| Would you bicycle? | ||
| The real fuck would be cars. | ||
| There'd be too many cars. | ||
| Right. | ||
| There's way too many cars. | ||
| You ever see what happened when the hurricanes were hitting Texas and people tried to escape? | ||
| Or Florida. | ||
| Like Florida, the last one. | ||
| You can't go anywhere. | ||
| And they just get stuck on the highways. | ||
| You get stuck and you run out of gas on the highways and everybody's scared and desperate. | ||
| It's not good. | ||
| And hurricanes you see coming. | ||
| This earthquake, you get 30 seconds. | ||
| I think my scooter is what's going to save me. | ||
| Where are you going to go? | ||
| You're going to go somewhere and they're going to eat you. | ||
| You're going to get away. | ||
| You're going to be with a bunch of survivors. | ||
| They're going to hunt you down. | ||
| Put me on a spit. | ||
| They're going to keep you alive so they can eat you longer because there's no refrigeration. | ||
| They're just going to tie you up and cut off parts of you. | ||
| Eat it in front of you. | ||
| I'm gonna come here and bust into this fucking place. | ||
| Yeah, man, that's the move. | ||
| Come here. | ||
| We'll help you. | ||
| I'm so about this space, dude. | ||
| Who has a float tank? | ||
| That is so awesome. | ||
| Everybody should have one. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| My real concern is just the mass of humans. | ||
| Just the sheer number is so insane. | ||
| I don't think it's I don't think it's sustainable like this number of people that are There's never been a time ever in human history where we've had masses of people crammed into areas like we have today in our urban areas you mean? | ||
| Modern America, modern Mexico City is like that, jammed up. | ||
| There's quite a few places that are, like, the population number is higher now than it's ever been in recorded human history. | ||
| And so the population of these cities is higher than it's ever been. | ||
| We've never had, like, we've never had 20 million people in a city before in America like we do in L.A. What's that, Jamie? | ||
| States with a smaller population than Los Angeles County. | ||
| Is that all of them? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Almost all of them. | |
| It's like 30-something states. | ||
| Almost all of them. | ||
| Is LA County 20 million people yet? | ||
| It's like 16-something, right? | ||
| Yeah, it's rough. | ||
| I think, but this is like on the 10 to 11 million official count. | ||
| So we're looking at this map, and it's one tiny little area of California, and it has more people in it, if it was a state, than almost every fucking state, except Florida. | ||
| And Texas and New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois. | ||
| Goddamn. | ||
| I mean, that is just fucking bananas. | ||
| LA is so crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't... | |
| Is it? | ||
| Where would you live if you didn't live? | ||
| No. | ||
| If I didn't live here? | ||
| No, it's not worth it. | ||
| So where would you live if you didn't live here? | ||
| I'd probably like... | ||
| I like Colorado a lot. | ||
| Colorado's a good state. | ||
| Mountains are good. | ||
| I like Northern California, but not San Francisco. | ||
| Like Mount Shasta. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, Humboldt. | |
| Hang out with farmers. | ||
| Get fucked up. | ||
| Deal with that weird dude who keeps knocking on your door. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You? | ||
| Woods somewhere? | ||
| Um, Colorado, I think. | ||
| I like Utah, too. | ||
| I like Utah. | ||
| Utah's very underrated. | ||
| Those people are very nice. | ||
| They are. | ||
| Everybody thinks Utah. | ||
| They're like, oh, fucking Mormons. | ||
| I can't do it. | ||
| Mormons are friendly. | ||
| Some of the nicest folks ever. | ||
| I spent like four months in St. George. | ||
| Where's that? | ||
| It's the very corner, southwest corner of Utah, right at the Arizona, Nevada corner. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's like the town nearest to like Zion National Park. | ||
| I was doing like landscape photography for a while. | ||
| That national park is... | ||
| Gorgeous. | ||
| Zion's awesome. | ||
| It's so pretty. | ||
| And actually, to bring it back to cars, we had a show on NBC Sports called Drive and did a national parks. | ||
| The roads through our national parks here in America are glorious. | ||
| Glorious. | ||
| Yosemite, Zion, Death Valley, Bryce Canyon all have amazing roads going through them. | ||
| Yeah, and just the view that you get. | ||
| We're very lucky here. | ||
| We got a lot of cool shit. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| And in California, we got the best roads in America, possibly. | ||
| We got some pretty good ones. | ||
| You know, just that place where everybody goes just to drive to fuck around, that Angel's Crest Highway. | ||
| God, that's pretty. | ||
| That's where I was this morning, before I came here. | ||
| What were you driving up there? | ||
| My Focus RS. I was having fun. | ||
| We adjusted the suspension, and so I needed to shake it down. | ||
| Those are fast Fast little cars. | ||
| Very fast. | ||
| I worked with Mountoon on mine. | ||
| So it's making 377 wheel horsepower and 455 wheel torque from a four-cylinder. | ||
| And we have an KW DDC adaptive suspension. | ||
| Adaptive coilovers. | ||
| That's hilarious. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Awesome. | |
| The car's very, very fast right now. | ||
| And that's a really light car too, right? | ||
| That's not so light. | ||
| It's small, but it's all-wheel drive, which adds to the weight. | ||
| And so it's... | ||
| It's not super heavy, but it's not a featherweight Porsche. | ||
| 35, something like that. | ||
| A little less, maybe 33, 34, but it's got a lot of stick. | ||
| And Porsche, Porsche, fuck me. | ||
| Ford, the RS, has this trick all-wheel drive system. | ||
| You can actually power oversteer. | ||
| So it's not like when the front wheels slip, you get power to the back. | ||
| Like it has what they call a drift mode, which can send up to 100% of the power to the back. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So they want you to get crazy. | ||
| So you can actually oversteer it and slide it. | ||
| They engineered craziness into their car? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Wow. | ||
| The new M5, you know, is all-wheel drive, and the new AMG E63 is all-wheel drive, and you can electronically disconnect the all-wheel drive through a button in both of them. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Yeah, so you can get drifty as well. | ||
| Get drifty. | ||
| Mr. Harris. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wanted to get drifty, whatever. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What do you think of that new Cadillac? | ||
| What is it, the A6? Oh, what? | ||
| Is that a CT6 with the Super Cruise, that thing? | ||
| It's the new big Cadillac that has a giant engine in it now. | ||
| Oh, it's a... | ||
| They're putting a 600 horsepower engine. | ||
| What is that thing called? | ||
| CT6? CT6V? Is that what it is? | ||
| I'm going to say the wrong thing. | ||
| I haven't... | ||
| I saw it. | ||
| This thing got me excited about Cadillacs. | ||
| Well, there's a CTS-V. No, no, not that one. | ||
| It's the Sedan. | ||
| I think it's called the CT-6. | ||
| Yeah, CT-6 is their biggest one. | ||
| It's the brand new. | ||
| The brand new one has a crazy V engine. | ||
| I don't think it's out yet. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It's not for sale yet. | ||
| It has a twin-turbo, like, dual-overhead cam V8, which is, like, the most advanced General Motors engine ever. | ||
| And it's going to be a Cadillac exclusive engine, which hasn't happened since, remember the North Star? | ||
| Right. | ||
| That was the last time Caddy got their own motors. | ||
| And they're making a big deal about it being Cadillac exclusive. | ||
| Like, hey, Camaro, go fuck yourself. | ||
| Yeah, because that's sort of what Cadillac hasn't had, right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Cadillac, they actually, the CTS-V is the lightest, fastest car in its class. | ||
| It has the best steering in its class. | ||
| It has the most horsepower in its class. | ||
| Some amazing little car. | ||
| And they cannot sell them. | ||
| What? | ||
| They can't sell CTSVs. | ||
| They can't sell ATSVs. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| No one's buying those? | ||
| No one's buying them. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Well, I mean, I'm sure there's a few reasons, but the infotainment system, that Q system, is really pretty terrible. | ||
| That sucks fat dick. | ||
| A lot of people don't make it to the test drive because of that. | ||
| Yeah, that thing is really like a liability. | ||
| It's not good. | ||
| It's very bad. | ||
| I've tried to like, I rented an Escalade, and I was going through all that shit to try to get to the navigation. | ||
| I'm like, what the fuck, man? | ||
| I've had cars forever. | ||
| I'm good at this. | ||
| I can't figure out how to get the navigation. | ||
| Where's home? | ||
| Where's the fucking home button? | ||
| So that's why. | ||
| That's one. | ||
| Aren't they switching over to CarPlay now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Where it works with Android or Apple phones? | ||
| Yeah, you can get those. | ||
| Yeah, that's better. | ||
| But that still doesn't get you around the touch buttons and stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There it is, the CT8. CT8. That looks fucking slamming. | |
| I mean, if that actually... | ||
| Artist's rendering. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| That's what it's really gonna... | ||
| That's a CT6. If it looks like that, we'll see. | ||
| Cadillac has a really nice history of coming out with very bold concept cars and then not building them. | ||
| Oh, come on, Cadillac. | ||
| Seriously! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Make that. | |
| They end up building watered-down shit. | ||
| Ford does it, too. | ||
| Cadillac was always the car, like my, you know, grandfather's day. | ||
| If you made it, you got a fucking Cadillac. | ||
| Put that back up for a second, please? | ||
| That thing, to me, looks like a modern version of what I felt like a Cadillac should be. | ||
| Well, that's not entirely different from a Bentley Flying Spur. | ||
| If you pull up a Bentley Flying Spur, that looks similar. | ||
| But that, again, is a rendering. | ||
| That's the best-looking Cadillac I've ever seen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is good looking. | |
| I know it's rendering. | ||
| I hope they make that that way because that is like the best looking Cadillac I've ever seen. | ||
| It's aggressive. | ||
| I mean, aggressive for American cars, aggressive sells. | ||
| Chrysler 300 saved Chrysler. | ||
| And when I say best looking Cadillac, I mean best looking new Cadillac. | ||
| That's what I mean. | ||
| I don't mean like the Batmobile style old school Cadillacs because I really feel it's unfair to compare because those are works of art. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, like, what year would that be? | ||
| Like a 57 Eldorado would be a fin tail. | ||
| Pull up custom 57 Cadillac. | ||
| You know, and they're like 75 feet long. | ||
| Big bodies are coming up. | ||
| So the slammed on bags, you know, with steel wheels. | ||
| Yeah, so there's your fins. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| That's a chopped roof. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| That one, they've really gone Batmobile. | ||
| That looks like a bat. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| God, it's beautiful, though. | ||
| But, man, I wish... | ||
| You can't bring fins back, but that would be nice. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Pedestrian impact and all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That is hot. | ||
| That's older. | ||
| That's like a 55, maybe? | ||
| 57? | ||
| That's a custom. | ||
| Oh, damn, that's fire! | ||
| Woo! | ||
| But, you know, do you... | ||
| Would you roll big body like that? | ||
| You go full big body? | ||
| I mean, you would take it out on Sunday, and then you'd go fuck this car, and then you would drive something that you could actually drive. | ||
| Because part of the thrill of driving is the interaction with the road, right? | ||
| And, like, those cars are not interacting very well. | ||
| No. | ||
| There's so much weight. | ||
| You're moving them around. | ||
| They're sloppy. | ||
| Whereas you got into an old 73 Porsche, you could drive that thing. | ||
| Even stock from the factory, you could drive that thing, no problem. | ||
| The older American cars, you have no idea where that limit is coming. | ||
| It's like, I'm there, I'm there, I'm there, the wheel's falling off! | ||
| I'm in the trees. | ||
| There was no communication in the steering wheel. | ||
| Old school electric steering is like, there's just zero communication up there. | ||
| And I used to be so afraid of old cars, and then I started driving old European cars, and I went, oh. | ||
| This is how this is supposed to go. | ||
| It's just America. | ||
| Well, it's a product of their environment, right? | ||
| Like, in the 80s, those fucking GM guys, their chomp cigars and their off-the-rack shitty suits, they never left Detroit. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And if you go to Detroit, it's just fucking potholes and it's straight lines, and so, of course the cars would ride like shit, or would float around and not handle, because there isn't a corner for 300 miles. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Now you get the CTSV because these guys, they go to the Nürburgring and test. | ||
| It's a global world now. | ||
| Yeah, it's a totally different animal. | ||
| These closed-minded morons built cars for their own city and sold them all over the world with no regard to the fact that they didn't work for shit in Italy or anywhere with corners in it. | ||
| Wow, that's interesting. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| And it set up America. | ||
| You go drive a 57 Cadillac in Detroit, and you go, well, this makes all the sense in the world. | ||
| Right. | ||
| The roads are straight and wide. | ||
| In 1957. Yeah. | ||
| How's that Beeline Coffee? | ||
| This is your coffee. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is really good. | ||
| It's good, huh? | ||
| And did you go to the place where they grow it? | ||
| No, I work with this company, Beeline Coffee, and at first they started sponsoring my My new watch podcast called Watch and Listen. | ||
| Oh, you're a watch dork, huh? | ||
| I'm a watch dork, too, yeah. | ||
| Illogical extension from Cars. | ||
| Dude, this is a delicious coffee. | ||
| Cheers. | ||
| And so, thank you. | ||
| Yeah, I brought you some. | ||
| It's a light roast, medium body, single origin, and that's an A. Langenson watch. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| That's a watch. | ||
| And that's the back of a long chronograph. | ||
| Oh, that's the back. | ||
| Yeah, the back. | ||
| Oh, that's beautiful. | ||
| Yeah, it's amazing. | ||
| Anything that looks like gold, that's gold. | ||
| So is that glass? | ||
| Yeah, sapphire crystal. | ||
| So there's a crystal on the back and the front? | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| Yeah, they call that a display back. | ||
| Oh, so just you could show people. | ||
| So you can admire the hardware within. | ||
| It is crazy when you look at the detail involved in one of those watches. | ||
| A lot of parallels with cars. | ||
| So many. | ||
| They rose up in parallel. | ||
| I mean, the obvious connections of timing races and stuff like that and wearing a machine on your wrist. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| That's called self-dealing, as I went to advertise my own watch for sale. | ||
| You can do that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| What's that one on the far right? | ||
| That's a Panerai. | ||
| That watch is called a Rattrapante, which is also known as a split-seconds chronograph. | ||
| So it's actually two chronographs laid on top of each other, so it would be used to measure the time differential between, say, two cars on a racetrack. | ||
| Whoa! | ||
| That's the most complicated movement Panerai makes. | ||
| I think that watch is about $13,000 or $14,000. | ||
| That's a beautiful watch. | ||
| Very nice watch. | ||
| It's pretty. | ||
| That was a demo. | ||
| I sent it back. | ||
| You sent it back? | ||
| I sent it back. | ||
| Most of them I sent back. | ||
| Why do you send them back? | ||
| As opposed to giving them $10,000 a month for every watch. | ||
| Oh, is that how it works? | ||
| Yeah, I have a sponsorship deal. | ||
| Crownandcaliber.com. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| What is what? | ||
| What is a sponsorship deal? | ||
| Oh, well, I started this watch podcast, so they're our title sponsor. | ||
| So they gave me a budget for a year, but I can also loan out watches out of their stock if I so desire, if I want to try something. | ||
| So it's like a chick trying on jewelry. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| It's jewelry for men, right? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It basically is. | ||
| It is, yeah. | ||
| It's the only jewelry that you can kind of get away with. | ||
| Pretty much. | ||
| You had a fat I would look like a total asshole. | ||
| No, but it makes sense if you have a watch. | ||
| Look, that's Jonathan Ward from Icon. | ||
| That was his case. | ||
| Jonathan is really into old, weird watches. | ||
| I follow his Instagram as well. | ||
| He's into old, weird anything, I think. | ||
| He fascinates me. | ||
| That guy is a fascinating character. | ||
| He's the most interesting person that there is. | ||
| He's very intense. | ||
| He's like you, like... | ||
| You guys both just do so much stuff. | ||
| I don't know where all the hours are in the day. | ||
| He runs his business, and he makes videos, but I also see every week on Instagram, he'll put up a handbag he made from scratch leather. | ||
| Where did you find the time for that? | ||
| You, too. | ||
| I don't know where you find the time to do all this shit. | ||
| It's an illusion. | ||
| Because the time I spend here is very easy. | ||
| It's just conversation. | ||
| It's fun. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| Having a guy like you, we get to talk cars. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| It is great. | ||
| It's fun. | ||
| Stand-up comedy, I've done so long. | ||
| It's like a part of my life. | ||
| It's normal. | ||
| The working out stuff, it's like if I don't do it, I can't do the other things. | ||
| I'll go crazy. | ||
| I won't be balanced. | ||
| And I want to stay healthy. | ||
| So I do that. | ||
| It just seems that you seem to churn out a large volume of content, and you also travel, UFC, and all that kind of stuff. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| It's a lot of content. | ||
| You told me the universe rewards hustle once. | ||
| It does. | ||
| I have that engraved on the back of the first Rolex I bought myself. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Good for you, man. | ||
| Which is from you. | ||
| That's dope. | ||
| And I sort of lived on that mantra. | ||
| For quite a long time until recently I actually just totally burned myself out on it a bit. | ||
| You can burn yourself out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You gotta be real conscious of how your body feels, right? | ||
| And that's what I like about what you've been saying, that you're doing cardio seven days a week and lifting weights. | ||
| Well, that's what happened. | ||
| I spent so much time working and focusing on it. | ||
| I was like, look, as long as I can stand and lift my arms, I'm gonna keep making videos because this shit could all end tomorrow. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But my body completely fell apart, and so I had to go, alright, I think it's time to take care of this. | ||
| I'm stuck with it. | ||
| There's a car analogy here, because this is your meat vehicle, and the difference between having a 500 horsepower engine and a 125 horsepower diesel is literally how you take care of yourself. | ||
| And you can turn your body into a race car. | ||
| You really can. | ||
| Unless, you know, obviously you have disabilities or something's wrong with you. | ||
| But for most people the issue is just will. | ||
| It's just their will and their mind and discipline and then knowledge, understanding how to do it correctly. | ||
| And I've lost large amounts of weight several times in the past. | ||
| I lost 50 pounds, and then I lost 100 pounds, and then I lost this past two years another 50. So, like, I know how to do it. | ||
| What are you doing now differently? | ||
| The difference with this one is, I wanted to do it, every time I've done it in the past, it has drastically interrupted my day-to-day life. | ||
| It's like either you go to fat camp and do it, or whatever, you know? | ||
| It takes away from something. | ||
| This one, it was much more important to go, I have a job, I have a life, I have to figure out how to make this work within that life. | ||
| So it became a lot more hotel gyms, really doing that, really making sure to just do that shit. | ||
| Oh, when you're on the road? | ||
| Yeah, road is really hard. | ||
| Yep, it's hard with diet, too. | ||
| It's very hard. | ||
| I didn't change my diet that much. | ||
| I just started exercising a lot. | ||
| My big problem wasn't that I ate badly. | ||
| It's that I would eat big meals spaced very far apart. | ||
| And so my body would go into, like, storage mode. | ||
| But now I try and eat smaller meals and more of them, and it seems to work much more efficiently. | ||
| Well, everybody's body's different, but for the most part, one of the biggest, most significant things you can do is cut out most sugar and cut out most refined carbohydrates. | ||
| Bread is my Achilles heel. | ||
| Everybody. | ||
| I love fucking bread. | ||
| If you just cut that out, weight would fly off you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| Especially when you're telling me the volume of exercise you're doing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| Cut out the bread, cut out the sugar, you would lose ridiculous amounts of weight. | ||
| You know, Jordan Peterson was on my podcast and he was talking about autoimmune issues that he had. | ||
| And what he did was cut out everything except for meat and vegetables. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| And all his problems went away. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| I've done the Atkins-style, caveman-y, whatever you want to call it, you know, all protein and fat, cut out the vegetables and cut out the carbs. | ||
| Like, it works. | ||
| I've done it. | ||
| I've lost weight. | ||
| And I just, I couldn't stick with it because I fucking love bread so much. | ||
| And I just don't want to kill myself. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It's like growing a show or something. | ||
| If the curve is going in the right direction and I'm okay pushing forward, let me just push forward. | ||
| I'll get there. | ||
| Well, it seems like the curve is definitely going in the right direction. | ||
| The thing about saying that you don't want to kill yourself, I get it. | ||
| I love bread too, and I love pasta. | ||
| I'm a big fan of lasagna. | ||
| I just love Italian food. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| I love pizza. | ||
| But I just limit it to one day a week. | ||
| It's probably good. | ||
| One day a week, I allow myself to eat whatever the fuck I want. | ||
| And if I decide it's Wednesday night, if Wednesday night I go out to dinner and I say, you know what, man? | ||
| I want the fucking spaghetti and meatballs. | ||
| Let's just do this. | ||
| Then that's the night. | ||
| That's the night I cheat. | ||
| And then the other six nights, I eat normal. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Dude, I respect your... | ||
| It makes it feel better, too, when you get that cheat day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, then it really counts. | ||
| If I get spaghetti with meatballs with grated Parmesan cheese over it, if I'm fucking digging in on that on whatever, Friday night, like, ah! | ||
| Just let yourself enjoy the shit out of it. | ||
| It's glorious. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's glorious. | |
| It's not just a regular spaghetti and meatballs because it's dinner, which is normal, you know, on Wednesday, Friday, whatever, who cares? | ||
| No, it's the one day! | ||
| One day you can eat that fucking pizza. | ||
| Ah, the cheese. | ||
| Maybe this is what I take home from this one. | ||
| Maybe I take home the cheat day philosophy from this show. | ||
| Cheat day's good. | ||
| The other thing is your body, if you get into that habit, your body won't be craving those things anymore because a lot of the reason why you crave it is because of your gut bacteria that's being supported by that diet. | ||
| And then you sort of, like, go into gut bacteria withdrawals that makes you want more and blah, blah, blah. | ||
| Yep, you get crazy. | ||
| What you gotta do is get your biome in check. | ||
| Like, start eating a lot of probiotics. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, if you can stomach kimchi. | ||
| I don't know if you're into that. | ||
| I like the taste of it. | ||
| I mean, I like Korean food. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know how much I... Kimchi is a daily thing for me. | |
| Really? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Acidophilus. | ||
| Yogurt is good. | ||
| If you could eat yogurt... | ||
| What the fuck do you have the time to just... | ||
| I don't... | ||
| To find this stuff and eat it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Just go to the supermarket. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| It takes ten minutes to get some food. | ||
| I know. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| When you've got to run around the city... | ||
| This is why I'm surprised at how well you do it. | ||
| Because running around this city... | ||
| You could have a whole day that's three activities... | ||
| And it takes all day to do those activities, and you barely have time to eat in between the... | ||
| I'm just bad at bringing that stuff with me, you know? | ||
| I need to be better at carrying my own, whether it's bars or kimchi or whatever, to bring it with me so that I don't get to that... | ||
| My God, I'm starving! | ||
| And then murder food. | ||
| When you leave, get me your address and I'll have some Onnit stuff sent to you. | ||
| Oh, cool. | ||
| Because we have some new Onnit protein bites. | ||
| They're coconut and cashews. | ||
| No guilt. | ||
| I like coconut and cashews. | ||
| Seven grams of protein for each one of these little squares and they're fucking cracked. | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
| That'll just get you to the next thing? | ||
| Yeah, they're heroin. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| Yeah, I'll have some sent to you. | ||
| Sent that and like 300 or 400 pounds of elk. | ||
| Oh, I wanted to tell you I killed something. | ||
| I went hunting. | ||
| I went bird hunting. | ||
| What'd you shoot? | ||
| I shot a quail. | ||
| I used a gun. | ||
| I can't shoot a quail with a bow. | ||
| It's hard. | ||
| But they were delicious. | ||
| It's delicious food. | ||
| It was really the dogs. | ||
| The dogs were so impressive. | ||
| The dogs were amazing. | ||
| Well trained. | ||
| Super well trained. | ||
| Went to this place in South Georgia. | ||
| And they had the most brilliantly trained dogs like I've ever seen that just found everything. | ||
| I think I got like 90 birds a weekend. | ||
| It was a lot of birds. | ||
| So you went on a full Dick Cheney. | ||
| Yeah, without the humans. | ||
| I didn't shoot any humans. | ||
| It's fun though. | ||
| I really enjoyed it. | ||
| Did you cook the quail? | ||
| No, they sent me some, which I could cook at home, but they were doing them there. | ||
| They were turning the quail breasts into like nuggets, like a McNugget, but a quail breast. | ||
| And then like the drumsticks, banging. | ||
| Absolutely delicious. | ||
| And what did they cook? | ||
| When you say like a McNugget, so they breaded it? | ||
| Yeah, they breaded it and fried it. | ||
| And it was like a whole quail breast was like a pop it in your mouth nugget. | ||
| It was really good. | ||
| It's a delicious meat. | ||
| Yeah, they're crazy tasty birds. | ||
| Yeah, but I was super conflicted about the hunting portion of it. | ||
| I don't know why. | ||
| My dad was like, that's like fishing. | ||
| It's definitely not. | ||
| It's not like fishing, but I didn't feel as guilty as I thought I would. | ||
| You know what, man? | ||
| It's like... | ||
| And this is a crazy thing to say, but I'm going to say it anyway. | ||
| It's like an old relationship. | ||
| Like you're like, oh, like you run into an old girlfriend on the street and you haven't seen her since 1989 or something. | ||
| Can't wait to see where this is going. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're 10 years old. | |
| Whatever the fuck it is. | ||
| Long time ago and you run into each other and you start talking to each other like, oh, I remember you. | ||
| I remember why I broke up with you. | ||
| That's what it's like when you kill something. | ||
| No, no, not even that. | ||
| It's a relationship with hunting an animal. | ||
| People feel it very quickly with fishing because fishing carries very little guilt. | ||
| Some people are like, oh, is it hurt? | ||
| Is it going to get hurt? | ||
| Some people get like that with fish. | ||
| Most people don't give a fuck about fish. | ||
| Little kids, they laugh. | ||
| My kids laugh. | ||
| And it's like flopping and dying. | ||
| This fish has a fucking hook through its head and my seven-year-old thinks it's awesome. | ||
| Oh my God! | ||
| She's so happy that this thing is dying. | ||
| Like, that's crazy. | ||
| But if that was a rabbit, she would never have that reaction. | ||
| There's a natural thing that we have with, we have a hierarchy of life. | ||
| And things that are closest to us, we feel more connected to. | ||
| We don't feel connected at all to bugs. | ||
| Nobody gives a fuck about bugs. | ||
| Vegans slap mosquitoes all day long. | ||
| Nobody gives a shit about that life. | ||
| But there is a life that you care about when things get warm and brown and fuzzy. | ||
| They get too close to us. | ||
| When they get too close to mammal-like, people freak out. | ||
| Yeah, I went on a South African safari last year, and it was like... | ||
| I couldn't fathom someone going and hunting a leopard or something like that. | ||
| That's a weird thing. | ||
| The big game shit? | ||
| That's a very weird thing. | ||
| It's a very different thing. | ||
| It's not... | ||
| It's almost like... | ||
| What that is, and I'm not saying it shouldn't be legal. | ||
| Is it like a sadism? | ||
| Maybe a little. | ||
| But what that is, is like, it's an aberration off the original idea. | ||
| And this is the only way to look at it. | ||
| And people will get mad at me that are hunters because I'm a hunter. | ||
| And like, what are you saying? | ||
| Look, it's not the thing to do. | ||
| Unless you're doing it just to control population, there's no reason to do it. | ||
| But... | ||
| What happened was, in the past, the only reason people hunted was for meat. | ||
| You barely could stay alive anyway, and when you went on a hunting party, you didn't go for sport, you went to go to kill things. | ||
| When you have so much food that you don't need to worry about food, and you've already been shooting all these animals, then they start doing these things called slams. | ||
| They call it doing super slams or the grand slam. | ||
| There's a doll sheep slam. | ||
| There's a sheep slam, a rocky, like a bighorn sheep slam. | ||
| There's a white tail. | ||
| Is this like a jamboree? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| You try to kill one representative of each of the subspecies. | ||
| Oh my God, really? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's a big thing. | ||
| It's a big thing with these guys. | ||
| Like a poker run? | ||
| They call them like the big six or the big eight in Africa. | ||
| In Africa, it's a big eight. | ||
| The Big Five. | ||
| Is that what it is? | ||
| The Big Five? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Yeah, the five most dangerous animals to hunt on foot. | ||
| It's like cheetah, lion, hippo, rhino, and whatever the fuck. | ||
| Leopard. | ||
| Leopard. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's a bunch of these kind of slams. | ||
| They have them for turkeys. | ||
| They have a wild turkey slam. | ||
| You get the Gould's turkey. | ||
| You get the Osceola turkey. | ||
| There's a bunch of different turkeys all over the country. | ||
| One in Florida. | ||
| There's one in Mexico that's a different turkey. | ||
| Point being, people start collecting animals. | ||
| It gets weird. | ||
| Well, that's the trophy, right? | ||
| Yeah, it gets weird. | ||
| It's like it gets to this weird place like you don't think they shouldn't do it. | ||
| Like, okay, are you eating the turkey? | ||
| You are. | ||
| Okay, that's cool. | ||
| Are you eating the deer? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Okay, well then I have no quarrel. | ||
| But when you start going like leopard, lion. | ||
| I said cheetos. | ||
| Elephant was the other one, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| I mean, the only reason why you shoot an elephant is if the elephant's going on a rampage through a village and killing people. | ||
| And you want to protect people's lives. | ||
| And I'm on team people. | ||
| Other than that, why the fuck else would you shoot an elephant? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| I saw an elephant, the biggest elephant I've ever seen, as far away from me as you were sitting right now. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| And I almost had a heart attack. | ||
| In real life? | ||
| In life? | ||
| Yeah, in Africa on the safari. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my god. | |
| It was fucking scary! | ||
| See, but I think those things are amazing. | ||
| It was amazing. | ||
| It was amazing. | ||
| But, like, you just know... | ||
| Because what you're doing... | ||
| The reason I was so close is because we were watching them push trees down with their trunks. | ||
| Like, four or five inch trees just... | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Like, it's nothing. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, you'd crash a car if you hit one of those. | ||
| It would crash the car. | ||
| And like, they're just foom, foom, foom. | ||
| And they're right next to you. | ||
| And if they go foom on your Jeep, that's the end of that. | ||
| You know what's complicated? | ||
| Someone was trying to explain this to me, and I should really be honest about this. | ||
| A guy was trying to explain to me that when we think of Africa, we think of a country. | ||
| It's not a country. | ||
| It's a continent. | ||
| And it's a way bigger continent than North America. | ||
| We've seen pictures of the United States stuck in the middle of Africa. | ||
| Fucking huge and he's like unfortunately there's places in Africa where they have overpopulations of elephants and they encroach on human civilization and they do have to hire hunters to come in and do it and kill them or they don't hire them the hunters pay and The money goes straight to the village the meat goes to the village and people get very excited about people hunting these elephants It probably seems like a short-term solution to the village, right? | ||
| The village doesn't give a shit about the elephants. | ||
| They want to eat, probably, right? | ||
| Do they care about their conservationists? | ||
| The elephants eat their crops. | ||
| It becomes a big issue. | ||
| And they eat the fuck out of their crops. | ||
| You know, like, good luck putting up a fence to keep a goddamn elephant out. | ||
| You have no chance. | ||
| So when someone was explaining this to me, I remember, you know, we were saying this. | ||
| I was like, why the fuck would you ever want to kill an elephant? | ||
| We know there's not that many of them. | ||
| And he's like, yeah, this is why it's complicated. | ||
| There's not that many of them in some places. | ||
| It's like in L.A., there's no grizzly bears. | ||
| But if you go to Montana, the people that live in Montana are going, hey, when are you going to start hunting these fucking things? | ||
| They just declared them open in Wyoming. | ||
| They think they just started a hunting season. | ||
| And it's very controversial. | ||
| Are they endangered or anything? | ||
| No, not anymore at all. | ||
| No, they have a lot of them. | ||
| And the people that live up there, especially people that have been mauled or know people that have been mauled, they're like, hey, we fucked in enough. | ||
| Enough. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| They made a great comeback. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But, you know. | ||
| If you're in Chicago, there's zero bears. | ||
| And this is a tiny place in comparison to Africa. | ||
| So when I was saying that I thought that elephants were endangered, he's like, yes and no. | ||
| They're endangered in some areas. | ||
| Good point. | ||
| The fucked up point, the most dark point about all of it, is that trophy hunting is the only thing that keeps those animals healthy. | ||
| This is what's fucked up. | ||
| I was talking to my friend Cam Haynes about this this weekend. | ||
| When I say trophy hunting, I'm even talking about normal hunting for meat, like impalas or elands, these big game animals that people hunt because they're delicious. | ||
| Even them. | ||
| In Zimbabwe, there's a lot of areas in Zimbabwe that are not high fenced. | ||
| They're just open, enormous areas. | ||
| All the money that would come from people hunting there would sustain these local areas, sustain these lodges, so it would make it viable to keep these animals alive, and stop poachers. | ||
| Oh, because it funds the anti-poaching, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| It's the only thing that funds the anti-poaching. | ||
| So, here's what happened. | ||
| The Cecil the Lion shit went down. | ||
| Nobody wanted to go to Africa anymore to go hunting, and all these businesses are going under. | ||
| So, there's nothing stopping the poachers. | ||
| So, the poachers move in and kill everything. | ||
| Kill everything. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| That's going the other way. | ||
| This is how many elephants were killed last year by people. | ||
| Something like 400 or... | ||
| Google this. | ||
| Legally killed elephants. | ||
| The number of illegally killed elephants, 30,000. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| 30,000. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Most of them are killed illegally. | ||
| Most of them are poached. | ||
| They have this one elephant. | ||
| You know that last elephant that was dying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The male, or excuse me, rhino that was dying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Rhino. | |
| White rhino or black rhino? | ||
| Which rhino was it? | ||
| Black Rhino, I think. | ||
| They had that poor bastard with armed guards around it 24-7. | ||
| Because they were worried someone was going to kill it and shoot it and chop the fucking horn off. | ||
| The poaching is way scarier than the hunting. | ||
| And the only thing that protects the animals from poaching is hunting. | ||
| It sounds so counterintuitive. | ||
| But you have to look at it honestly. | ||
| Yeah, they said something similar to us in South Africa about that. | ||
| That they need the funds because the anti-poachers, you know, they're all over the place. | ||
| And then here's the other problem. | ||
| When you say poachers, these poachers, you know what you're really saying? | ||
| Poor people. | ||
| That's what you're really saying. | ||
| They're poor, desperate people. | ||
| They don't know what the fuck to do. | ||
| And if they can chop off a rhino's horn and make some money, they're going to do it. | ||
| If they can shoot that animal that's not theirs and use it for meat, they're going to do it. | ||
| They're starving to death. | ||
| I mean, they have no options. | ||
| There's people in parts of Africa that are living in grass huts. | ||
| My buddy Justin Wren, he goes and makes wells for these people in the Congo. | ||
| And the stories he tells you would just make your eyes tear up. | ||
| These are human beings. | ||
| And they're living like this. | ||
| 24 hours a day for their entire life, and this is the norm. | ||
| So we're talking about poachers. | ||
| We're talking about people that are fucking desperate, man. | ||
| You can call them poachers. | ||
| You could dehumanize them with that term, but they're just poor people. | ||
| Are none of them the movie stereotype poachers? | ||
| There's got to be a couple of them. | ||
| Some of them, but most of them aren't. | ||
| Now here's what's even crazier. | ||
| Most of the anti-poaching agents used to be poachers. | ||
| Because there's nothing else for them to do. | ||
| Yeah, it's not surprising. | ||
| And now they're poachers again. | ||
| But they're hunting people. | ||
| But they got out of this position that can't be anti-poachers anymore. | ||
| Oh, because they can't fund them. | ||
| So now they just went back. | ||
| So now they become poachers again. | ||
| Oh, perfect. | ||
| This happens to a lot of them. | ||
| This has gone well. | ||
| When Cam Haynes was explaining this to me, and when he's explaining this to me, I'm like, well, of course. | ||
| So they don't even know how many animals are left in these areas where people have abandoned them. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| These are ranches that were once thriving ways. | ||
| See, the thing is, most of these animals, a good percentage of them, were on the verge of extinction just 30 years ago. | ||
| Because people were just over hunting them and poaching them and doing whatever they wanted to them. | ||
| Then they started putting value on them. | ||
| People would go over there to hunt them. | ||
| So people would keep them in these huge areas and that populations boomed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because they were taking care of them because they were a resource. | ||
| And this is conflicting to people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It's wild. | ||
| It's very wild. | ||
| I just went to the Galapagos on a vacation, which is interesting. | ||
| Have you been? | ||
| It seems like your kind of spot. | ||
| I want to go. | ||
| Can't kill anything. | ||
| It's like Hawaii if there were never people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| So it's a completely empty Hawaii. | ||
| How big is it? | ||
| About the same size as Hawaii. | ||
| The big island? | ||
| No, it's a chain of islands. | ||
| It's probably 13 or 15 islands. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| None as big as the Big Island, but most like Maui. | ||
| And there's no buildings on them? | ||
| There are two or three towns with like 25,000 people, and the rest of it is nothing. | ||
| National Park, 97%. | ||
| But they talk about the giant tortoises, and there were potentially a half a million of them on the islands, and it went down to like one. | ||
| Like, they found, like, the last one, and they tried to breed it. | ||
| There's, like, three varieties of tortoises, and one of them got down to one, and they tried to save it, and they couldn't save it, and now it's, like, you know, embalmed and fucking taxidermied on the Galapagos Islands. | ||
| But, you know, these giant tortoises that lived at 200, but all the passing ships would just, like, grab a few of them, and they'd eat them on the ships, and they completely decimated the entire population. | ||
| They're all gone, and they're... | ||
| Trying to bring them back. | ||
| I don't even know why we started here, but... | ||
| Well, they take forever to grow, right? | ||
| And they live forever. | ||
| They live like a thousand years, don't they? | ||
| They live like 200 years, yeah. | ||
| And then the whole rest of the islands, what's crazy about them is nothing's been hunted there in forever, so the wild animals have no problem with people. | ||
| No problem. | ||
| Like, you're face-to-face with sea lions and stuff. | ||
| I could be to, like, birds. | ||
| Like, what kind of wild bird would let you get within, like, a foot of it? | ||
| But there's these giant blue-footed boobies that have no problem with you just being right here watching them. | ||
| Like, they could have a baby right there, and they won't even fuck with you. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And, like, huge lizards. | ||
| But underwater, the density of the underwater sea life was insane. | ||
| Hammerhead sharks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| I think a baby hammerhead shark is the cutest animal I've ever seen. | ||
| A baby hammerhead. | ||
| Do you know why they developed their eyes out there on the ends like that? | ||
| Presumably it's like an echolocation or radar sonar type of thing. | ||
| It gives you better range, I think, because they are in darker waters, if I had to guess. | ||
| They're really, really cool to see in person, though. | ||
| There's nothing like a hammerhead shark. | ||
| Isn't the Galapagos where they had that thing that they were doing with Judas goats? | ||
| Do you know that? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That is it, right? | ||
| The goats... | ||
| Wait, whoa. | ||
| Captain Cook dropped off a bunch of goats on those islands. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And they did it so that when they came back, they'd have something to hunt. | ||
| And the goats overran the island. | ||
| Yeah, and they overate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Badly. | |
| That was a big problem. | ||
| They were eating everything. | ||
| They could eat everything in sight. | ||
| And then what did they do with the Judas? | ||
| The Judas goat had like a disease or something? | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| What did it do? | ||
| No, they took one of them and they neutered him. | ||
| And then they sent him out with a radio collar on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| So he would find out where all the other goats are. | ||
| They would gun them down. | ||
| Helicopters! | ||
| And they would keep him alive. | ||
| They would go, that's the Judas goat. | ||
| We keep him alive. | ||
| So they'd gun all these goats down. | ||
| He'd go, man, they killed all my friends. | ||
| We'll all of them make some new friends. | ||
| And he would go and make some new friends, and then they would locate that new pack. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Because otherwise, it's very difficult to locate packs of goats if you're really going to put a dent in the population. | ||
| They wanted to wipe them all out. | ||
| Yeah, they killed like 75,000 goats. | ||
| It was a crazy number of goats. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dude. | |
| But they were completely overrunning the whole thing. | ||
| Well, yeah, trained sharpshooters were sent in helicopters to scour the island for goats. | ||
| Once found, the goats would be shot from the air, either in the head or the heart to ensure a quick death, whatever. | ||
| Stop lying. | ||
| They shot those things in the dick. | ||
| No one ever caught them in the arm. | ||
| They shot them in the face. | ||
| They shot them everywhere they could. | ||
| They're in a helicopter. | ||
| Go back to that, please, so I can keep reading. | ||
| Let me... | ||
| You're not... | ||
| They're not even in a steady place where they can steadily shoot. | ||
| You don't have a good rest from a fucking helicopter. | ||
| They're like mini guns. | ||
| They're just gunning those fuckers down. | ||
| Why lie like that? | ||
| In the heart or in the head? | ||
| To ensure a quick death. | ||
| Okay, mom. | ||
| Using high-powered weaponry and military precision. | ||
| Stop with your military precision. | ||
| Who wrote this? | ||
| Many people, including the plan's orchestrators, had misgivings about such a large-scale slaughter of goats. | ||
| However, the decision was made that the Galapagos ecosystem, under threat found nowhere else on Earth, was valuable enough to justify their actions. | ||
| Yeah, they're an invasive species. | ||
| History was written by the winners. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| It's funny that they're essentially... | ||
| Preparing for people who are animal rights activists, reading this. | ||
| That's why they're writing, you know, they're shooting them with such precision. | ||
| It's actually very funny because, you know, the Galapagos is ridiculously restrictive. | ||
| You cannot set foot on a beach, like, there without being, like, without a naturalist with you the whole time. | ||
| And you can't be more than, like, 50 feet from the naturalistic ever. | ||
| How'd you guys do it? | ||
| Did you hire someone to take you on a tour? | ||
| Yeah, it was like an organized thing. | ||
| It was like a smallish yacht with like 30 people on it. | ||
| I heard they check your shoes to make sure you don't have seeds in the soles of your feet. | ||
| Yeah, they rinse off the bottom of your shoes and then they hand sanitize you when you get back on the boats. | ||
| They said they've had real issues with people that have tramped on plants and then come to the Galapagos. | ||
| Now those plants grow there. | ||
| Yeah, well there's one island that has... | ||
| I was expecting tropical. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Because Hawaii's kind of tropical. | ||
| None of them plants are fucking native. | ||
| None of them? | ||
| Like, none of them. | ||
| All the jungle plants were brought there. | ||
| Like, the Galapagos has one island that has jungle on it, and all of the rest of them are like volcanic rock and cactuses and shrubs. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Yeah, not what I expected. | ||
| And I was like, how come this island has a jungle on it, and the rest of them, they said, oh, all these plants are not native. | ||
| They were all brought here in like the 1700s. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So the plants that were brought there, like those plants, whoa, look at that shit. | ||
| I'm not sure what that is. | ||
| I never saw that, but it's awesome. | ||
| That looks like an artist rendering to me. | ||
| We're looking at this crazy tree that looks like it's right out of the Lord of the Rings. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Dragon blood tree is what it's called. | ||
| That's an awesome name for that tree. | ||
| I want that shit in my yard. | ||
| You got a big building here. | ||
| Can we get one of those? | ||
| Dude, I need a dragon blood tree in my life. | ||
| Look at that thing. | ||
| That looks like Avatar Island, that island that floats. | ||
| Remember that one that floated? | ||
| That is the greatest looking tree I've ever seen. | ||
| It's a very cool tree. | ||
| It's a weird economy. | ||
| But the same naturalists that were like, you know, preserve everything are giddy when they talk about shooting goats from a helicopter. | ||
| Yeah, well, they look at the goats as what they really are. | ||
| They're an invasive species. | ||
| I mean, they're life forms and it's not their fault that they're there. | ||
| But like I was trying to explain to my friend, I have a buddy of mine who's thinking about hunting. | ||
| He eats meat and he's like, if I'm not going to kill my own meat, why should I have the right to eat meat? | ||
| He's in this weird moral thing. | ||
| And he's like, I'm thinking about being vegan, but I know it's not the right move for my health. | ||
| I'm like, well, you should try it. | ||
| See if it's the right move for your health. | ||
| It might work good for your body. | ||
| But if you want to shoot something... | ||
| The thing to shoot would be wild pigs, because they have three, four litters a year. | ||
| Each one of them, they could have four, five, even six babies, and they fuck like crazy, and they eat everything. | ||
| And they might be four or five hundred pounds. | ||
| I mean, they can get big when you leave them alone. | ||
| You kill one of those a year, you're golden. | ||
| But they get fucking, the point is, they get destructive, and there's nothing that kills them. | ||
| Where do you find these wild pigs? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everywhere! | |
| Everywhere. | ||
| They're all over the country now. | ||
| I don't hunt, Joe. | ||
| Where's everywhere? | ||
| It's not even a hunting issue. | ||
| It's people who live in San Jose or having a problem with wild pigs going through their backyard and fucking them up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's a real issue. | ||
| Because no one's paid attention to them. | ||
| People are getting on their highway, going to school, stopping at Starbucks, doing the normal shit. | ||
| While this is happening, they're out there in the bush earning it. | ||
| They're fucking and they're making babies and there's a shit ton of... | ||
| They're all over the place, man. | ||
| All over, from Bakersfield on up, Northern California, filled with wild pigs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, boy. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Are they tasty? | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Do they taste like domestic pigs? | ||
| Currently exist in 56 of the state's 58 counties. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Where's that? | ||
| What state is that? | ||
| California? | ||
| Shit, they're everywhere. | ||
| 56 of the state's 58 counties have wild pigs. | ||
| Okay, so when you say everywhere, you're not fucking around. | ||
| No, they are a biological plague. | ||
| They're a completely invasive species, and they're designed to live in places with wolves and lions. | ||
| I mean, that's what their origins are. | ||
| But do they taste good? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Phenomenal! | |
| Really? | ||
| Better than domestic pork. | ||
| Great! | ||
| Yeah, especially when you cook them right. | ||
| Like you take a ham and you like slow it on a smoker. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Brine it maybe for a few days first. | ||
| Dude, I'm telling you. | ||
| Goddamn delicious. | ||
| Not surprising. | ||
| They're a delicious plague. | ||
| But they're everywhere and they eat everything. | ||
| Ground nesting, birds, like fucking anything on the ground. | ||
| They're just all the time fucking up people's lawns, digging in people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you just want to be ready? | |
| They have to do things about them. | ||
| Just be locked and loaded in your yard? | ||
| Well, in Texas, they just shoot them. | ||
| I mean, they get in helicopters. | ||
| Oh, the helicopters. | ||
| I was at a thing and a guy was telling me about shooting pigs from a helicopter. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| A porkalypse now is what you want to look up. | ||
| It's a guy named... | ||
| That's not a porno? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It should be. | ||
| It probably is too. | ||
| But it's a guy named Pigman who... | ||
| I'm buddies with this guy. | ||
| I text him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course you are. | |
| We text each other. | ||
| I know him. | ||
| You and Pigman. | ||
| He texts me and I text him back. | ||
| It's like, okay. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| He's a good dude. | ||
| But anyway, his whole thing is eradicating these wild pigs. | ||
| And they did them with Ted Nugent where they're shooting machine guns out of a fucking helicopter. | ||
| And they killed 200 and something of them in one day. | ||
| Feral hogs are now in 37 states. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| They cause 1.5 billion in crop damage yearly. | ||
| I mean, I like the anti-pig propaganda film. | ||
| This is good. | ||
| 2.6 million hogs in Texas alone. | ||
| Do you know how crazy that is? | ||
| And, again, delicious. | ||
| They've got a bunch of brucellosis and a bunch of different terrible diseases. | ||
| Fuck Ted Nugent. | ||
| Well, how dare you. | ||
| Fuck Ted Nugent. | ||
| How dare you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sucks. | |
| Well, he's definitely got issues. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| So they're up there with machine guns gunning down these wild pigs out of helicopters. | ||
| And part of you is like, they shouldn't be able to do this. | ||
| But part of you is like, they have to do this. | ||
| Because if they don't do this, then these things keep breeding and there's more of them. | ||
| If they don't eradicate the numbers, what's to stop these things from just spreading across the entire country and becoming a real problem? | ||
| Well, they're already a real problem. | ||
| So what do you do? | ||
| Which part of you goes, that looks kind of fun. | ||
| It looks very fun. | ||
| It does. | ||
| If it wasn't a life form, it looks very fun. | ||
| Yeah, I would want to do that with targets. | ||
| Can they do that and put targets out there? | ||
| It wouldn't be as fun. | ||
| You'd want to do it. | ||
| But the thing is, you see a mama and her babies. | ||
| The whole thing is... | ||
| It's kind of fucked up because... | ||
| There's not a whole lot of other ways to do this. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| You've got to locate them on these enormous ranches. | ||
| So what are you going to do? | ||
| Are you going to have people go out there with hunting camps and slowly make their way through the bushes? | ||
| They might kill 250 of them in a month. | ||
| Or these guys get 250 of them in a day. | ||
| I'm not arguing with the efficiency of this project. | ||
| This is extremely efficient. | ||
| It is an epidemic, though. | ||
| I mean, what they're saying is accurate. | ||
| You're seeing all these pigs? | ||
| I mean, look at the populations that these guys are gunning down. | ||
| And this is just a fraction of what exists out there. | ||
| There's the shot right there. | ||
| That was like right out of The Godfather's. | ||
| Yeah, the pig hanging from the helicopter. | ||
| The pig hanging from the helicopter? | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Jamie, that freeze frame on Ted Nugent's face was extra creepy. | ||
| He looked like he was coming. | ||
| Wait. | ||
| This is a real show? | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I thought this was a goof! | ||
| That's a real show! | ||
| That's real. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| A porkalypse now. | ||
| A porkalypse is episodes on Pigman's show. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| You see, as a person who loves animals and also eats meat, I understand conflict. | ||
| I love animals. | ||
| I love wild animals. | ||
| I love pets. | ||
| I love them. | ||
| But I also eat meat, and they do too. | ||
| There's a weird relationship going on with people and animals. | ||
| But that, to me, in modern world, is one of the weirder aspects. | ||
| Flying around a helicopter, gunning down... | ||
| Feral pigs that destroy cop crops cause billions of dollars in damage and are spreading across the entire country What else do you do? | ||
| No, it just seems so unfair 100% unfair but the question is is it unfair if you're jogging through the woods and a bear eats you is that unfair that seems unfair to probably also unfair I mean you're barely levels of unfair barely able to just sustain a nice pace and go jogging if you got a run from a bear Just trying to drop a few LBs. | ||
| That's it, man. | ||
| I didn't want to get eaten. | ||
| This grizzly came from fucking nowhere. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| We have weird relationships with animals. | ||
| You know, I know you eat meat. | ||
| I do. | ||
| Yeah, obviously. | ||
| No, I don't feel too guilty about it either. | ||
| I eat meat from the grocery store and I don't feel too guilty about it. | ||
| I'm sorry to say. | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| That's fucking life. | ||
| You know. | ||
| Do you feel bad about factory farming? | ||
| I try to buy good quality meat from good quality places, but that's about... | ||
| I don't buy, like, farm-raised fish, and, you know, I don't know. | ||
| I try and buy good shit if I can. | ||
| I prefer to eat high-quality things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But, I don't know. | ||
| Should we talk about cars more? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Do we want to? | ||
| Do you want to? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What else are you seeing in the world of curse? | ||
| We just stumbled into an area of dead animals and pigs. | ||
| Well, this is your show, so that's what's going to happen. | ||
| I didn't mean to bring it there. | ||
| But this is when I get to talk to you, so what are you going to do? | ||
| Oh. | ||
| That's what happens. | ||
| I'll tell you what I'm interested in, man. | ||
| I'm interested in that new Corvette ZR1. Going to drive it next week on Monday and Tuesday at Road Atlanta. | ||
| That thing looks ridiculous. | ||
| 750 horsepower. | ||
| See, that's what I'm talking about. | ||
| When are they going to stop? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Are they going to hit 1,000 horsepower on a regular car that people can buy? | ||
| Yes, yeah, you know who will probably do it first actually in terms of like a quote regular car with a thousand horsepower would probably be Electric like an electric car because it's so easy to make that power look at that thing. | ||
| It's aggressive. | ||
| Holy shit Yeah, it's aggressive and you see they had to put this monster power bulge in the hood there in the center and So, you know, this Corvette Z06 was out before, and it was very fast, 650 horsepower. | ||
| But it had this issue where it was heat soaking, wherein, like, you'd lose power because the supercharger would develop so much heat. | ||
| And it was a small supercharger to fit under the low hood, because the low hood is sort of a thing for Corvette. | ||
| And the way to make more power while also creating less heat... | ||
| Is to use a bigger supercharger and spin it slower. | ||
| As opposed to a smaller one that spun faster. | ||
| So they had to put a bigger one, which raises the hood. | ||
| Does it fuck what you don't know yet? | ||
| Have you even driven it? | ||
| I was going to say your vantage point, your viewpoint. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'll report back a couple weeks. | ||
| Can you pull a picture up? | ||
| It's definitely a big old cow hood. | ||
| I have driven... | ||
| There's a company called Callaway. | ||
| You've heard of them? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That's a beautiful car, man. | ||
| Go back to that image that you just had. | ||
| The aero package is certainly aggressive. | ||
| Look at that thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's a beast. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That looks so good. | ||
| So I have driven a Corvette of this generation that has an engine like this, and I drove something called the Callaway Aero Wagon. | ||
| They actually turned a Corvette into like a shooting brake, like a wagon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, God. | |
| It's not that bad. | ||
| It's pretty cool. | ||
| But it had 775 horsepower, and it was one of the scariest cars I've ever driven. | ||
| Look at that side profile that James had. | ||
| Look, you can get it as a convertible. | ||
| Wow, that's amazing. | ||
| A ZR1 as a convertible? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Did they do anything to extra stiffen it up? | ||
| Actually, the reason they do this is they say that the roof itself is not a contributor towards the chassis rigidity. | ||
| So they can sell the car as a coupe or a convertible without any loss of rigidity. | ||
| That's what they say. | ||
| So that thing drives... | ||
| Honestly, I think you're a douche if you buy a ZR1 convertible. | ||
| Wow, how dare you? | ||
| I was just thinking about buying one. | ||
| You can buy the coupe and take the roof off. | ||
| You can buy the coupe and take the hard roof off still. | ||
| Right, but that's not the same. | ||
| It's not the same. | ||
| It is because you don't look like a douche. | ||
| Convertibles are for douchebags? | ||
| The top-performing Corvette engine track package with an aero kit... | ||
| In a convertible. | ||
| Go back to that picture of the red convertible again, Jamie. | ||
| It's for people who suck. | ||
| How dare you. | ||
| You son of a bitch. | ||
| Dude, what are you doing with the top down and that wing? | ||
| Looking amazing. | ||
| And the wing. | ||
| Looking like a player. | ||
| Jamie, can you break the tie on this? | ||
| What's your verdict? | ||
| Convertible or no convertible? | ||
| Playing some Tiesto music and letting people know. | ||
| What are you driving with? | ||
| Who's with you? | ||
| You. | ||
| Just by yourself? | ||
| Just you and me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just by yourself. | |
| It's just to the no convertible. | ||
| If you're a girl convertible. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Us two no convertible? | ||
| Yeah, we look desperate out there by ourselves. | ||
| Two guys in a convertible. | ||
| Two guys in a convertible is weird. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| A guy and a girl, that's a very good point by Jamie. | ||
| Two guys in a convertible is still weird. | ||
| It's still weird for you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's weird. | |
| In 2018? | ||
| Any convertible. | ||
| Well, not if they're gay. | ||
| But any convertible. | ||
| Two guys in any convertible is weird. | ||
| It's like, what are you losers doing? | ||
| Real men don't put the top down. | ||
| No, but by yourself, yes. | ||
| I'm by myself, I'm free, I'm just driving around. | ||
| You know how you can tell someone's a real bad driver? | ||
| It's a really surefire way to tell someone's a terrible driver. | ||
| If they've got a convertible, and they put the windows down, but the front windows go down, and the little back windows stay up, like a 3 Series BMW, where they don't notice those little rear windows are just still up by themselves. | ||
| That's how you can tell someone's a bad driver, never checks their blind spots. | ||
| Well, even when you're driving a convertible with the windows up, like, stop. | ||
| Four's even worse. | ||
| Two guys in the back, too. | ||
| Oh, four up? | ||
| That's bad. | ||
| In Venice, I see that. | ||
| I see all the convertible Mustangs loaded up. | ||
| When I see that, I always look at those four guys and I'm like, one of those guys is dead weight. | ||
| Guarantee you. | ||
| One of those guys is a pain in the ass. | ||
| Three of them hate the other. | ||
| Yeah, one of those guys always short on how much he puts in for the tab. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| One of those guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you never pay for weed, ever! | |
| Ha ha! | ||
| Do we? | ||
| When I'm doing better, I'll pay, man. | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| That looks so good though. | ||
| Pull that picture up again. | ||
| They've really shredded the hell out of it. | ||
| That looks amazing. | ||
| Red with black, that ZR1 convertible, that looks fucking amazing. | ||
| Dude, and it's apparently faster around Virginia International Raceway than the Ford GT, which we just looked at. | ||
| And the Ford GT is like a race car race car. | ||
| This thing has like a big trunk and, you know, for all intents and purposes, it's a pretty normal car. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| It's not, you know, it's not, there's not a lot of sacrifice going on with driving one of those. | ||
| You know, you get in it, you drive it, and it's got a big trunk, and it's reasonably comfortable and easy to live with. | ||
| But it's interesting that this is like this game of like, okay, let's look at watches. | ||
| There's no real improvement in performance, right? | ||
| I mean, they're beautiful, but the performance difference between now and ten years ago is not clear. | ||
| Yeah, and a mechanical watch? | ||
| No, I mean, there's artistry and there's technological complication. | ||
| I mean, there's complication for the sake of complication. | ||
| So they'll have watches like, to use a car example, Imagine a car. | ||
| And from the outside, it looks roughly like a normal car. | ||
| Four wheels and a driver's seat. | ||
| It has one engine, and it has four transmissions coming off of that engine, all of which come back together to make it the car one-wheel drive. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Imagine that applied to a watch. | ||
| So it'll be like one main movement that goes out into four gear trains and then comes back into just an hour and a minute hand. | ||
| Well, why would you sync up four gear trains when you could do the same thing with one? | ||
| And it's like, well, because we can. | ||
| It would be like building a car with two engines. | ||
| Like, that's not smart, but you'd do it just to be like, I built a fucking car with two engines. | ||
| Unless you're talking about, like, the NSX engine where you have the front engines for the electric. | ||
| Exactly, exactly. | ||
| But I think what I'm getting at is that... | ||
| With computers and with cars, those are the one thing that you expect an improvement every year. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nobody's going to accept the old way. | ||
| You can't just build, unless you're Singer and you're making something custom. | ||
| Well, the Singer is what, that example is what the mechanical watch kind of industry is, you know, they position it as a luxury item from a time gone by sort of thing, you know? | ||
| Whereas, actually, if you want to talk about innovation, this right here is a Grand Seiko, which has a movement called a spring drive movement in it, and it is one of the most advanced and unique mechanical movements available in a watch today. | ||
| So this is a Seiko? | ||
| It's a Grand Seiko. | ||
| What's the difference? | ||
| So the difference is, it's like, think about a... | ||
| Like a Lexus? | ||
| Think about a Lexus. | ||
| A Seiko is a Lexus, not a Toyota. | ||
| This is a Lexus LFA. Oh, okay. | ||
| A Grand Seiko is built in a different factory from the regular Seikos. | ||
| It's built by hand, completely by hand, all hand-finished, hand-polished. | ||
| It's built of exotic materials. | ||
| It has a cool movement. | ||
| Dude, you should sell watches! | ||
| I have a watch podcast. | ||
| It's called Watch and Listen! | ||
| It's on YouTube. | ||
| Wow, it's beautiful. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, and I have what is called the display back on this, so you can see the movement in the back and how high the level of finish is. | ||
| And you've got sapphire and titanium, and so the spring drive movement is... | ||
| Without getting crazy, crazy nerdy about it, is actually a true innovation in mechanical watchmaking. | ||
| So run the chronograph on the front, the top button. | ||
| Watch the sweep of the chronograph hand, the big second hand. | ||
| You get a perfectly smooth sweep. | ||
| The smoothest possible sweep that there could be. | ||
| It is smooth. | ||
| It is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| It is smooth. | ||
| How much is a watch like this worth? | ||
| Around ten. | ||
| Thousand. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| God. | ||
| But it's... | ||
| This watch is $300. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Is it a G-Shock? | ||
| No, G-Shocks are the shit, dude. | ||
| $300. | ||
| G-Shocks are awesome. | ||
| It's got a light on it. | ||
| Does that have a light? | ||
| No, but it's polished so that it can see in the dark. | ||
| Mine tells you the date, motherfucker. | ||
| Dude, G-Shocks are dope! | ||
| A G-Shock is a watch guy's tool watch. | ||
| Like, highly functional, durable. | ||
| A G-Shock is a total watch guy's watch. | ||
| You can get G-Shocks that are like $5,000, you know. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Dude, Jamie, look up a $5,000 G-Shock watch. | ||
| Oh, that's right there. | ||
| Hold that up. | ||
| That's John Ward's. | ||
| Jonathan Ward's own design. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's cool. | |
| It's amazing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How cool is that? | |
| I think it's based on the Duesberg? | ||
| Yeah, Duesenberg gauge cluster. | ||
| And the watch is called the Doozy. | ||
| And it's got a complication on it called a jump hour complication. | ||
| So it's basically just a black face, almost looks like a bathroom scale. | ||
| And it's got two windows, hours on top, minutes on the bottom. | ||
| And the minutes sweep by slowly. | ||
| Whereas the hours do not sweep by slowly. | ||
| At 59 and 59 seconds, the hours click over right fast. | ||
| So it's a jump hour as opposed to a slow-moving hour. | ||
| Now, he designed the look or did he design the internals? | ||
| He designed the look, the face, the complications, and he worked with a Swiss watchmaker to design an actual unique movement to use for this watch. | ||
| He designed the case and... | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| It is awesome. | ||
| And that watch is 12 grand. | ||
| I believe it. | ||
| He's making 50 of them. | ||
| I believe it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He tried to use the face in that Vantablack shit. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| Vantablack is the darkest, the blackest black that has ever existed. | ||
| Oh, I saw they painted a building with that shit. | ||
| It looks like a negative space. | ||
| Dude, get a picture of Vantablack. | ||
| It doesn't look real. | ||
| And it's the most black that... | ||
| That! | ||
| That's something painted in Vantablack. | ||
| It's so black that it absorbs all light and you can't even see anything. | ||
| Wait a minute. | ||
| Can you paint a car in that? | ||
| You could, except environmentally it's not a good thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey! | |
| Fuck the penguins! | ||
| Oh, whoever's gonna die. | ||
| I want a nice black G-Wagon, you fucks. | ||
| Bro, I need my G-Wagon Vantablack, bro. | ||
| So this watch here has Vantablack in it. | ||
| Of course it does. | ||
| And you'll see it's $95,000, and the Vantablack is just the black background. | ||
| When you said $95,000, my balls hurt. | ||
| I made my balls go like this. | ||
| They went... | ||
| Bro, they got watches that are a million dollars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| There's a million dollars. | ||
| You can buy a million dollar watches right now. | ||
| 300 bucks. | ||
| G-Shock. | ||
| Dude, there's a watch called a Jacob Astronomia that is like wearing like a sapphire fishbowl on your fucking hand. | ||
| I swear, it's the craziest shit you've ever seen. | ||
| It's so ridiculous. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| Liberace the oil chic. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Oh my god, that is insane. | ||
| Jamie, top right picture there. | ||
| See, this has a gold case. | ||
| That's a sapphire case. | ||
| The whole thing is sapphire. | ||
| What if you bump into something and it shatters under your hands? | ||
| That's so stupid. | ||
| You're wearing a glass watch. | ||
| It's not glass, it's sapphire. | ||
| You Cinderella motherfucker. | ||
| Dude, the whole case is milled from a block of sapphire. | ||
| The whole case can go fuck itself. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| It's a million dollars? | ||
| You deserve... | ||
| You deserve that thing to break. | ||
| That's crazy looking. | ||
| It's hilarious, right? | ||
| That's a million dollar watch. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Earth is that. | ||
| Yeah, that's the Earth. | ||
| The planets are spinning around. | ||
| They spin around. | ||
| Yeah, if you can find a video of it moving, it's nuts. | ||
| Look at the stars. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, it's got like a Rolls. | ||
| If you drove your Rolls Royce with your million dollar watch, you'd be like, what, what? | ||
| You could coordinate this guy with your star field ceiling. | ||
| Dude, that is a small Earth. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| And it literally has the continents and silver. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And then some blue star thing. | ||
| What is the water made out of, you think? | ||
| It's gotta be like... | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| Anodize something. | ||
| But then there's the diamond sun on the other side. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| There's a ball. | ||
| A diamond ball that spins around. | ||
| Some of them have different stuff on them, too. | ||
| That's just one. | ||
| Baller you have to be to be sporting a million dollar watch. | ||
| Yeah, that one's got a central star. | ||
| Let me check the time on my million dollar motherfucking watch. | ||
| That's crazy, right? | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's some rich people doing some really, really weird rich people things right now. | ||
| That seems preposterous, that thing with all the diamonds on the bottom. | ||
| The baguette diamonds? | ||
| Yeah, that's like some steampunk, futuristic... | ||
| Ridiculousness. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| Even more so than, you know, cars. | ||
| It's like, because a car, it's like, okay, you got a $1,000 car, $10,000 car, $100,000 car. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But like, yeah, when you zoom in really close. | |
| That's a computer version. | ||
| That's not real. | ||
| Oh, it's CGI. But that is pretty much what you get. | ||
| See the astrological signs there? | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| The red made out of. | ||
| It's like amber or something. | ||
| Oh, probably ruby. | ||
| The sun's a ruby? | ||
| It's probably ruby. | ||
| The sun's probably a yellow diamond. | ||
| Motherfucker, that is incredible. | ||
| See, I don't get it, but I get it. | ||
| Well, you must have been able to appreciate that someone is making a machine that fits in a little fishbowl on your wrist. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| And look, I mean, look, on top of the crazy artistry of this and the ridiculous price and the jewels and all that stuff, the mathematics of that machine work. | ||
| That is not, that's not just like that for nothing. | ||
| That does like moon phase, you know, what astrological sign it is. | ||
| There is an actual function. | ||
| Look at that one with the dragon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The dragon in it. | |
| You gotta be fucking kidding me. | ||
| That looks like something to come out of a little kid's gumball machine. | ||
| That's so crazy, right? | ||
| Scrawl up to, that's amazing looking. | ||
| Scroll up the other images, though. | ||
| They had those three watches together. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Look how good those things look. | ||
| I mean, that is a crazy thing to have on your arm. | ||
| It's so crazy, right? | ||
| That's a million dollars. | ||
| And if you see someone wearing one in person, it's big. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like the size of that Yenny lid. | |
| A coffee mug on your hand. | ||
| It's so crazy. | ||
| It's so big. | ||
| There's really, people are, they're actually, I mean, you'd be shocked at what people are doing with certain, with machinery and mechanical watchmaking. | ||
| It's like the fight against friction is the whole thing, right? | ||
| You've got this tiny little spring, and you need to get as much power out of it as possible, so they engineer these, like, Micrograms of friction out of this stuff. | ||
| That's the erwork, I think. | ||
| What the fuck is that? | ||
| That's some Star Trek shit. | ||
| Whoa, that's pretty. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What does the lid look when it's closed? | ||
| It looks like a Star Trek communicator. | ||
| Now, how much does something like that go for? | ||
| It's probably 50 or 60. Oh, sorry. | ||
| I was going to guess. | ||
| I was going to guess higher. | ||
| I was going to guess 75. I think you can get different versions of it. | ||
| Don't hold me to the price. | ||
| It's expensive. | ||
| What do you think it costs, Jamie? | ||
| 75. Yeah, that's what I was saying. | ||
| 75. The top article should have it. | ||
| The Hodinkee article usually has the price. | ||
| If you scroll down to the bottom of that article, it should have it. | ||
| That's it closed right there. | ||
| So you can read the time when it's closed. | ||
| So on that watch, it's 827. Yeah. | ||
| And what does it look like when it's closed? | ||
| Go up. | ||
| That's closed right there? | ||
| Yeah, that's closed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then that's another version. | ||
| Oh, so does it have different tops? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The clear top or the metallic one. | ||
| And then there's a carbon back. | ||
| That's a pretty watch. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's pretty looking. | ||
| If you scroll all the way down, it should say the price. | ||
| No? | ||
| 68,000. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Fucking expensive. | ||
| There's some wild stuff. | ||
| There's a company called HYT that makes watches that have a liquid that moves around, and it tells you the time based on almost like a thermometer. | ||
| The liquid goes up to this level. | ||
| There's a watch by a company called Devon, D-E-V-O-N, that's a belt-driven watch where you have a series of conveyor belts on your wrist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah, there's the HYT, so the green... | ||
| The green liquid goes around the dial. | ||
| It's like a nuclear ooze that flows through the dial. | ||
| So it changes depending upon the time? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So that goo, it flows. | ||
| Go back to the one with the green goo on the top left there. | ||
| So it like fills up around the dial, and then it resets. | ||
| So is that what a minute is when it goes all the way around? | ||
| Is it a minute? | ||
| No, it's an hour, I believe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's amazing. | |
| It's awesome, right? | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| So you look down, and that's how you know where it is in the hour. | ||
| Yeah, and then it had a typical hour hand. | ||
| Yeah, and then this one, it flows around the skull. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| How much does something like that cost? | ||
| A hundred grand or something. | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| Axl Rose is actually sponsored by them, believe it or not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course he is. | |
| It works, right? | ||
| It's on brand for him. | ||
| I think this is about a hundred grand. | ||
| So when you say sponsored, what do they do? | ||
| They get Axl to wear it on stage? | ||
| Yeah, he wears one. | ||
| You know, I follow these dumb watch spotter Instagram accounts. | ||
| They sell for upwards of $50,000. | ||
| I think it's more than that. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| $50,000 is $75,000. | ||
| They're expensive, man. | ||
| It's David Cross selling watches. | ||
| Ha! | ||
| $285,000 to H3. A particular ultralight high-end model. | ||
| Which one's that one? | ||
| But there's some materials in this stuff. | ||
| They use crazy forged carbon there. | ||
| $95,000 used for a Skull one. | ||
| Ooh, let me see that. | ||
| That's pretty. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're real crazy. | ||
| I mean, you can get lost in this stuff. | ||
| I mean, the machinery of it and the materials. | ||
| What color do you think the liquid is that goes around that fucker? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| They may have a different picture with a different liquid. | ||
| So that's how the minutes go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then there was an hour. | ||
| That is so crazy. | ||
| Press that. | ||
| Let's see if there's an animation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you can see how this fucker works. | |
| Here's the liquid going. | ||
| So cool. | ||
| That is fucking dope. | ||
| I love the fact that people are so creative. | ||
| They can figure out how to do things like this on something like a watch. | ||
| See, look at the red goo going around the skull. | ||
| Isn't that awesome? | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| I'm in love with it. | ||
| It's so cool, right? | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| I'm in love with this. | ||
| And then look, it goes back. | ||
| But it goes back quick. | ||
| It goes back quick and resets. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| And the eyes fill up when it goes back. | ||
| Oh, you've got to be kidding me. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| It's some really next level, like there's bellows and pumps and it's like pumping like liquid around. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I had no idea. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I had no idea people were doing this. | ||
| Dude, people are doing crazy things. | ||
| That is fucking badass. | ||
| So that's really crazy. | ||
| So I have a watch that is called a perpetual calendar, which is like a traditional complicated watch. | ||
| So it does day of the week, Date of the month, month of the year, four-digit year, moon phase, power reserve, okay? | ||
| And the time, obviously. | ||
| And it has all of those functions. | ||
| And if you keep the watch running, you know, it's mechanical. | ||
| You've got to keep it wound up. | ||
| If you keep it wound and running, it will be accurate for all of those things without needing any adjustment for about 300 years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Like leap years, how many days are in the month that you're in, like all of that shit. | ||
| Yeah, IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar. | ||
| See, this is more of what I like. | ||
| It's all math. | ||
| I like a watch that looks like that, like a classic looking regular watch. | ||
| Yeah, look up the Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar. | ||
| I like their watches, IWC. They make beautiful watches. | ||
| Like that right there to me, that's like a perfect looking watch. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I like normal looking shit. | ||
| Yeah, Big Pilot, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh... | |
| Which one is it? | ||
| Orange hands, down. | ||
| Yeah, that's it, but go down on the left. | ||
| Bottom left. | ||
| Yeah, that's the one. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So it's got a lot going on there. | ||
| So that's the one that you have? | ||
| That's the one I have, yeah. | ||
| That's a beautiful watch. | ||
| Yeah, and it's big, it's big and chunky and heavy, but you see it's got four-digit year, and then the month at the six o'clock mark, day of the week, and the second hand at the nine o'clock, and then the date and the power reserve at the three o'clock. | ||
| And if you keep that running, that'll give you June 3rd, 2018, Friday, you know, whatever, automatically it knows all the math. | ||
| Hundreds of years. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Crazy, right? | ||
| All you have to do is keep it running. | ||
| Just keep it running. | ||
| So you have to just put it in a perpetual watch machine? | ||
| Yeah, or wear it. | ||
| Or wear it. | ||
| Fortunately, I like wearing it, and it has an eight-day power reserve. | ||
| So if I wear it one day out of every eight days, it's great. | ||
| Oh, so it has a battery assist? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| The spring will keep going for eight days. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, eight days. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Yeah, and then you see in the inner gauge at the three o'clock position, it says days, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| This one's dead. | ||
| It's in this empty gauge, but normally it stays up by the S in days when it's full. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah, and it shows you how much is left. | ||
| This watch has a fuel gauge as well. | ||
| Let's you know how much juice. | ||
| Yeah, see, look, right down here at the seven o'clock position, that watch has a fuel gauge as well. | ||
| Very helpful. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| My favorite feature in mechanical watches is the fuel gauge. | ||
| Is that an actual fuel icon? | ||
| It looks like one, kind of, yeah. | ||
| It does kind of look like one. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's dope. | ||
| So, watches. | ||
| I have a podcast about all this called Watch and Listen. | ||
| I do it with a watchmaker who, like, takes shit apart. | ||
| Cameron Weiss, he's the man. | ||
| Watches are connected to extreme materialism in a lot of people's eyes. | ||
| Totally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's one of those things where people are like, oh god, you're into watches. | |
| You must be a douche. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| It's a fair argument. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Because watches are also used as trophies and flashy shit. | ||
| But they're also cool. | ||
| They're also cool. | ||
| Yeah, I get it. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| Same thing I feel with cars. | ||
| I mean, look, if you... | ||
| Is every person who buys a... | ||
| You know, Ferrari LaFerrari. | ||
| Is every one of those people a douche? | ||
| No. | ||
| Some are, and some are the ultimate enthusiast. | ||
| 75. 75? | ||
| No, I don't know. | ||
| It might be 50. No, it might be 50. It could be. | ||
| You know, there's enthusiasts and there's douches in everything. | ||
| In everything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And the thing is, there's a reason why those things are highly coveted. | ||
| Because they're fucking amazing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, that watch, I don't want a million dollar watch, but that watch is the shit. | ||
| I would never wear it if I had it. | ||
| Dude, if you're in Beverly Hills, go in the store. | ||
| The Jacobs store in Beverly Hills. | ||
| I don't want to get frisked. | ||
| Do the fucking TSA thing on you. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| Yeah, I'm sure. | ||
| They must be really worried about people walking in that store. | ||
| You gotta get buzzed in it. | ||
| Do you really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Oh, God. | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| He's selling something. | ||
| Dude, you could smash and grab like six million dollars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| Isn't that crazy? | ||
| Somebody just did that recently. | ||
| In England, they smashed and grabbed a watch store with machetes. | ||
| Yeah, because, you know, there's this thing in England going on right now. | ||
| I don't know if you know it, but London has, for the first time ever, passed the United States, passed New York City, rather. | ||
| For the most murders. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, ever. | ||
| Since 1800. They're all just stabbing each other? | ||
| Stabbing each other. | ||
| So the London mayor, mayor of London on Twitter, wrote a tweet that has been getting him tortured online, saying there is no reason to have a knife. | ||
| Oh, I saw that. | ||
| If we catch you with a knife, you will be... | ||
| We catch you. | ||
| You! | ||
| You! | ||
| Regular guy. | ||
| You, regular guy. | ||
| Pocket knife. | ||
| I open packages. | ||
| I carry a knife. | ||
| I want to cut a piece of rope. | ||
| I have a knife on me. | ||
| He said, okay, not anymore. | ||
| No, in London, this guy's saying, if you have a knife and you're caught with one, you'll be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. | ||
| And, of course, United States, we're going crazy over here. | ||
| Like, oh, I thought it was a gun problem. | ||
| I thought it was a fucking gun problem. | ||
| You're going to ban knives? | ||
| What's next? | ||
| Fucking scissors? | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
| Where's this going to end? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do have to think, I think we have a little bit of a gun problem. | |
| We definitely have an issue. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have a gun problem. | |
| We definitely have something going on. | ||
| But this smash and grab, these motherfuckers use machetes. | ||
| That's gangster. | ||
| That's gangster. | ||
| Because they knew nobody had a gun. | ||
| You know, you try to use a machete and dudes behind the counter have shotguns. | ||
| You've got a real problem. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's a homemade machete. | ||
| A homemade machete? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| How gangster is that? | ||
| How do they know it's homemade? | ||
| Because they caught the guy? | ||
| Yeah, it says, quotes, homemade. | ||
| They caught him. | ||
| In my house. | ||
| I made it right here. | ||
| Come on inside. | ||
| Good for you. | ||
| I guess he didn't get away. | ||
| No. | ||
| Good attempt. | ||
| Yeah, but it's again, watches. | ||
| When you think about something small, like jewelry and watches, something that's this little, and something you fit in your hand can be worth a million dollars. | ||
| It's one of the only things in life where something that fits in your hand is worth a million dollars. | ||
| Yeah, and there's also a lot of the mainstream brands like, you know, Rolex and whatever, there's a lot of false prop-up of the value. | ||
| They intentionally, you know, they don't build as many Submariners as they could because they want to drive the market up, demand up, and it keeps the used values high. | ||
| And there's an entire ecosystem, you know, based on new and used watch values. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I think the craziest value thing... | ||
| And anything of, like, high-end things that people love is diamonds. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Because they're not even really that rare anymore. | ||
| Yeah, didn't I just read, you can make them in a microwave now? | ||
| Isn't that a thing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
A microwave? | |
| I read an article that they figured out how to make diamonds in a microwave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| How do they do that? | ||
| The same way they fucking make them in a lab. | ||
| Someone figured out a process. | ||
| Carbon and heat. | ||
| You know, when they make them in a lab, it's really interesting. | ||
| I don't think they can make really big ones in a lab yet. | ||
| I think they can only make, like, one or two carats. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| I might be wrong. | ||
| I would definitely be down with getting cremated and being turned into a diamond. | ||
| Here it goes. | ||
| Scientists have figured out a way to make diamonds in a microphone, and it could change the diamond industry. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| It's over, bitches. | ||
| April 9th just happened, huh? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I read this article, and I just noticed now it's Business Insider. | ||
| I don't trust them. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Placing a tiny fragment of a diamond, a carbon seed, in a microwave with varying amounts of carbon-heavy gas. | ||
| The result is a synthetic ethical diamond with the exact same structure and chemical composition as a diamond that came from the ground. | ||
| It works so well, experts reportedly need machines to tell the lab-grown gems apart from the natural ones. | ||
| Estimated by 2026, the number of lab-made diamonds will skyrocket to 20 million carats. | ||
| So then, here's the thing. | ||
| Anyone who owns a natural diamond, that diamond's now in the toilet. | ||
| You think so? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Because they'll be like, this is natural. | ||
| This shit came from God itself. | ||
| What if they can't tell the difference, though? | ||
| You go to a machine. | ||
| Like, this motherfucker's got a machine. | ||
| Who's got a machine? | ||
| People would want to know. | ||
| They would want to know. | ||
| I need to know. | ||
| Is it machine certified that it came out of the ground? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Is this Blood Diamond? | ||
| I only want Blood Diamonds. | ||
| I got engaged a few months ago. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And I got a great deal from somebody who I nicknamed Blood Diamond. | ||
| It's not a Blood Diamond, I assure you, but I just love calling him Blood Diamond. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just love it! | |
| And Hannah gets very upset. | ||
| Can you fucking stop it? | ||
| I don't want to wear this thing around anymore. | ||
| Yeah, well that's the thing too. | ||
| It's like they've got that business on lockdown. | ||
| Do you want to prove your love and your commitment to a relationship? | ||
| Well, you need to buy one of these. | ||
| You can't buy a fucking a car. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| You can't buy an engagement car. | ||
| I tried to do that actually. | ||
| I was going to propose with an engagement Jeep Wagoneer. | ||
| That's a good move. | ||
| It was, until they get mad at you. | ||
| They want the diamond to show their friends. | ||
| Look, Matt stepped up. | ||
| He stepped up. | ||
| Clarity is perfect. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| He stepped up. | ||
| Did Mike step up? | ||
| Mike didn't step up. | ||
| Matt stepped up. | ||
| Mike didn't step up. | ||
| Mike's like, fuck those fucking diamonds. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're all thieves. | |
| You know, it's not really worth that much. | ||
| CZs, bro. | ||
| Just need a CZ. If a girl found out that you had a fake diamond... | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was the thing that happened to an aunt of mine. | |
| She found her diamond was fake? | ||
| Yeah, she was getting divorced. | ||
| And she went to bring her ring in. | ||
| She found out it was fake. | ||
| Trump gave someone fake diamond cufflinks. | ||
| Who was that? | ||
| Someone in business, he gave him a pair of diamond cufflinks and he went and looked and they were fucking CZs. | ||
| If that's the case, if he did that to you, that guy's ready to fuck you. | ||
| He's about to make something go down. | ||
| He's about to roll. | ||
| That guy's gonna roll. | ||
| Mueller. | ||
| Mueller. | ||
| That guy's steaming right now. | ||
| Fucking fake diamonds. | ||
| You don't respect me, Mr. Trump? | ||
| Well, I don't respect you. | ||
| Trump has been giving out fake diamond cufflinks for years. | ||
| Oh my God, he's hilarious. | ||
| He is hilarious. | ||
| Do they shrink his hands for those pictures on purpose? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| Because his hands aren't little. | ||
| Everybody always calls his hands little. | ||
| There's something he does with his hands that make him look little. | ||
| It's like he does a lot of stuff like this. | ||
| It could just be little in proportion to his head, which is gigantic. | ||
| And getting bigger, apparently. | ||
| He's going down now. | ||
| When they raided his attorney's offices, here's the thing. | ||
| In order to get all that stuff passed through, Republicans have to agree to that. | ||
| Actual Republicans and people that should be his supporters had to be a part of the whole process. | ||
| I read that everyone that signed it was an appointee of his administration. | ||
| He's in trouble. | ||
| If they're raiding your lawyer's office, you are so fucked. | ||
| And if it all goes down that he winds up getting in trouble, not even for Russia, but for paying off a chick that he had sex with... | ||
| Imagine it's a porn chick that takes this whole thing down? | ||
| Listen, man, I need... | ||
| Oh, Justin Martindale, an apology. | ||
| He was saying that she's the Monica Lewinsky for this administration. | ||
| Oh, come on! | ||
|
unidentified
|
No way! | |
| I was like, he's going to brush this off. | ||
| It's going to be nothing. | ||
| Nobody cares, because everybody knows... | ||
| They know he did it, so it's not... | ||
| It's not even a question of whether he did it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it's a matter of whether or not it's legal. | ||
| Yeah, it's a campaign finance violation. | ||
| That's a campaign finance. | ||
| And then admitting to knowing about the payout is like admitting to obstruction. | ||
| It's like a whole other... | ||
| When he talked about it in that interview, when someone caught him getting onto his plane and he acknowledged the lawsuit. | ||
| Whoops. | ||
| It's just he fucks up, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He doesn't know how to shut the fuck up. | |
| Well, not only that, his whole life has been about not shutting the fuck up, about saying whatever you want. | ||
| Like, that's his instincts. | ||
| And all of a sudden, you put him in this position. | ||
| Accountability? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's that? | |
| I want you to be a totally different thing now. | ||
| I want you to be presidential. | ||
| Meanwhile, he's trying to pick fights with Joe Biden on Twitter. | ||
| You're not going to change a 70-year-old billionaire. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You're not going to change that guy. | ||
| He's been told yes a thousand times a day for the last 40 years. | ||
| What do you think is going to happen with him? | ||
| Do you think they're going to kick him out? | ||
| What do you think is going to happen? | ||
| Yeah, I think it's not going to... | ||
| I just don't see how he can make it through four years. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's only one year. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| One year and a couple months. | ||
| It's very bad. | ||
| It's very bad. | ||
| While we've been going on, Paul Ryan has announced that he's going to not seek re-election. | ||
| Oh, thank God. | ||
| Fuck Paul Ryan. | ||
| He probably sees the writing on the wall. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What does that guy do now? | ||
| Apparently he had some kind of realistic challenger Democrat that has been really ramping up their campaign and he does not want to stick around to see how that's gonna go. | ||
| Really? | ||
| He doesn't want to lose? | ||
| He doesn't want to get humiliated, yeah. | ||
| Wow, that's what it is, you think? | ||
| Or maybe he's just tired of all this shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No way! | |
| Maybe he needs to get paid for all those fucking bribes. | ||
| Like, now it's time. | ||
| I saw the day that the former speaker, John Boehner, is now on the board of a major marijuana company. | ||
| Yeah, he went all pro-legalization. | ||
| Gotta get that paper. | ||
| How do you feel about this legalization situation? | ||
| I hate it. | ||
| I hate it too! | ||
| I think they should lock people up. | ||
| Lock them up. | ||
| They're getting high. | ||
| Lock them up. | ||
| But compared to Prop 215, compared to 17 to 18, what do you think? | ||
| What don't you like about it? | ||
| Well, the 30% sales tax, which was inevitable, but... | ||
| This is what I like about that. | ||
| It's still reasonable. | ||
| You can get high on a very small amount of money for a long period of time. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| I don't think we should be complaining about that. | ||
| Two, I think we could show that there's a real benefit to legalization that benefits communities, benefits schools, firemen, police officers, whoever can get that money. | ||
| And I think that's where the money should be allocated. | ||
| And I think you could get billions of dollars for the state just doing that. | ||
| And I think that is a real positive aspect of legalization that might be the one thing that's going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back across the country. | ||
| When people realize that you can make real money and that real money can be beneficial to things that communities need. | ||
| Plus, you starve out illegal drug selling. | ||
| Illegal drug selling is what the real problem has always been. | ||
| When you make something illegal, only criminals are going to sell it, then you have criminal mentality. | ||
| You have people that have guns and gangs, and those are the people that we're scared of, not businesses. | ||
| If we were scared of businesses, we'd be trying to close liquor stores. | ||
| Nobody gives a shit about wineries. | ||
| You know, those are drug stores. | ||
| A winery is a drug dealer. | ||
| They are. | ||
| They just sell delicious drugs. | ||
| About wine, yeah. | ||
| They just sell delicious drugs. | ||
| I mean, and I'm for them, 100%. | ||
| I love wine. | ||
| That's not my point. | ||
| And Danica Patrick was selling wine, too, yeah. | ||
| Things should be legal. | ||
| Things should be legal. | ||
| And when marijuana is legal, tax the fucking shit out of it and give that money back to the community and everybody benefits. | ||
| People like you and I, who are responsible, grown adults, who pay our taxes and are good people, and we like to get high occasionally. | ||
| We should be able to buy it with no worry about being locked in a fucking cage, and that money should go to schools. | ||
| That money should go to fix the streets. | ||
| That money should go to cops and firemen. | ||
| That's what it should go to. | ||
| It should. | ||
| Do we know where it's being allocated? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| No idea. | ||
| I would hope it's... | ||
| Here it goes. | ||
| I'm joining the board of Anchorage Holdings. | ||
| Anchorage Holdings. | ||
| Anchorage, sorry. | ||
| Because my thinking on cannabis has evolved. | ||
| My man got high! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was anti, and then I got some of this good shit right here. | ||
| I'm convinced descheduling the drug is needed so that we can do research, help our veterans, and reverse the opioid epidemic ravaging our communities. | ||
| Yes, I agree. | ||
| And I would add to that, get high. | ||
| So we can get high. | ||
| Put everyone out of jail. | ||
| Is there evidence showing weed reduces opioid use? | ||
| It is, right? | ||
| Well, it really depends upon how it's used. | ||
| It can benefit some people with some kind of pain. | ||
| I don't think it's realistic to say that some people that are in horrible, horrible pain would get the same reaction from marijuana they get for opiates. | ||
| People with really bad Burns, for instance. | ||
| Right, but if you just become addicted, for not medical reasons, I'm talking about if you become addicted to oxys. | ||
| There's better drugs. | ||
| There's better drugs that get you off it. | ||
| There's quite a few that can help you. | ||
| Probably the most powerful and the most efficient is ibogaine. | ||
| Oh, yeah, like ayahuasca ibogaine? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Ibogaine is not ayahuasca. | ||
| Ayahuasca is a hallucinogenic That is from South America. | ||
| It's dimethyltryptamine. | ||
| Ibogaine is from the iboga tree. | ||
| Is that from Breaking Open the Head? | ||
| There's a book called Breaking Open the Head? | ||
| I'm sure he covered that. | ||
| I'm sure he did. | ||
| But Ibogaine is something I haven't experienced, so I'm just talking out of what I've read. | ||
| Essentially a ruthlessly introspective 24-hour trip that rewires the way your brain views addiction and has a high level of Interesting. | ||
| In rehabilitating people. | ||
| Like, just killing the desire to do opiates. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Huh. | |
| Are they doing that in America? | ||
| Mexico. | ||
| Gotta go to Mexico. | ||
| Can't go to America. | ||
| It's illegal in America, of course. | ||
| Is it like a sweat lodge shaman type thing, or is it a hospital type situation? | ||
| Hospital type situations. | ||
| My buddy Ed Clay runs a, I think he still does, runs a clinic down in Mexico, and he started it because of his experiences with pills. | ||
| He got hurt, got on pain pills, had a real hard time with them, went to get on Ibogaine to get off the pain pills. | ||
| It worked like a charm. | ||
| And he was like, holy shit, I need to let people know about this. | ||
| You can get your life back. | ||
| And it's not something you get addicted to. | ||
| It's apparently something that you have a really hard time doing it again. | ||
| It's rough. | ||
| Yeah, it's like, you go, okay, that was enough. | ||
| Yeah, like DMT. Exactly. | ||
| It's one of those things where... | ||
| One was enough. | ||
| You did it once? | ||
| Yeah, in college, and that was sufficient. | ||
| You can get a lot out of one. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I had a plaid, plaid fucking world. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Flying around, it was full out-of-body nuts. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| It's pretty nuts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I think the difference in Ibogaine versus DMT, DMT is ego dissolving and very hallucinogenic and you see these amazing visualizations. | ||
| Ibogaine seems to not have that, but instead be like deeply, like to the cellular level, introspective. | ||
| And there's some sort of a physical action that happens in the way your brain... | ||
| The way your brain looks at addiction changes pretty radically. | ||
| Do you need to be like coached through it or it just happens? | ||
| You should probably... | ||
| I think all those things should be done in places where people are going to feel safe and where people have done it before and where people have experience with people that have done it before. | ||
| Having a real center that has real professionals and medical health staff, that's what you want. | ||
| And the only thing that's keeping that from happening in America and keeping millions and millions of people from getting off pills. | ||
| Drug companies. | ||
| Drug companies. | ||
| Drug companies lobbying to keep all these very helpful things illegal. | ||
| And we're slowly but surely going to work them out. | ||
| And the way we're going to work them out is through money. | ||
| That's why I like the fact that marijuana has a 30% tax. | ||
| Make it 50. I don't give a fuck. | ||
| What's a joint? | ||
| How much is a joint? | ||
| A joint can get you high all day. | ||
| Think about what a drink is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A drink. | |
| You go to a bar, you get a drink. | ||
| How much does a drink cost? | ||
| Eight dollars? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| $8 worth of weed will fuck you up for many days. | ||
| I don't know about many days. | ||
| Two days. | ||
| Maybe one day. | ||
| How much is a joint? | ||
| Maybe half a day. | ||
| If you're buying a pre-roll joint, like $10, $12. | ||
| That was $25. | ||
| This is $25. | ||
| That's like a fat cigar godfather. | ||
| That will put you on Pluto. | ||
| You'll be over there with David Bowie. | ||
| I know, but it was $25 last month, and now it's $33. | ||
| A shot of McAllen, though, is well over 25, probably, at any bar. | ||
| Yes, it is. | ||
| He's right. | ||
| All right, fine, fine. | ||
| My taxes on my weed are good. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Ten years I've been buying legal weed, and all of a sudden I want to buy illegal weed because of the taxes, and you just talked to me, guilted me even, back into legal weed. | ||
| I'm happy to pay it, and I think that it's, you know, I understand. | ||
| Like, yeah, man, maybe it's okay for you. | ||
| I get it, I get it. | ||
| No, I'm not making that point. | ||
| No, you're not, but some people would. | ||
| But I'm saying the money, if it goes to a good cause, if we really can change the way people perceive drugs. | ||
| Because there's not a war on drugs. | ||
| That is a lie. | ||
| There's drugs everywhere. | ||
| They're prescribed. | ||
| You can get them at a drugstore. | ||
| You can get them at a liquor store. | ||
| You can get drugs. | ||
| There's a lot of drugs. | ||
| It's just certain drugs. | ||
| The ones that they can't You know, corporatize as easily. | ||
| So the way to get it in is not through the corporation's influence, but through the influence of the consumer. | ||
| The consumer paying exorbitant amount of taxes on these things willingly is going to change the opinion. | ||
| I like weed being legal. | ||
| I'll pay the fucking tax. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| I will. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| I was just curious. | ||
| Look, selfishly, totally selfishly, my own benefit, I, as a guy who jumped through the one hoop and got a $40 medical card, Was happy to have it be called medicine and get it and have it legally and not pay taxes on it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Now, it seems like it's the same, except I'm paying the tax on it. | ||
| It is the same, but it's progress because the money's going into the community. | ||
| I hope. | ||
| I hope. | ||
| If it is, that's great. | ||
| Let's find out where it goes. | ||
| Let's take a guess. | ||
| I hope it goes towards... | ||
| Law enforcement. | ||
| I hope it's divvied up between law enforcement and education. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| Let's find out. | ||
| I hope it goes to education, but something tells me it's not. | ||
| I just feel like it's going to be so much money. | ||
| Like Colorado had to give tax money back to its state residents. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, so much. | |
| Oh, do they really? | ||
| You get a refund? | ||
| They gave it back because there's so much money being made by weed. | ||
| That's like Alaska. | ||
| It's like the oil pipeline. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You have negative state taxes. | ||
| Ugh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boss! | |
| I don't know if they have negative state taxes, but I know they gave people refunds. | ||
| They gave people money back because they made so much money on taxes. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| It's fucking amazing. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| If that happens in California, keep my fucking 30% sales tax. | ||
| Real estate went up 14%. | ||
| Since marijuana was legalized. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Instead of going down, like a lot of people thought, well, the real estate's gonna crash, people are gonna move out, there's potheads gonna be in the streets! | |
| Nope. | ||
| A friend of mine wants to open a cannabis club, and there's a small area in the green zone where you can do that, and I'm like, great, here's your map of the green zone. | ||
| I go, okay, what's for sale in the green zone? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| Not a single building. | ||
| So this is like a place where you can get high, like, publicly? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like a cigar bar? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| There's a lot of rules. | ||
| A lot. | ||
| And there's a very restrictive of where you can put it, and you absolutely, under no circumstances, can have a drop of alcohol anywhere on the premises. | ||
| Ah, interesting. | ||
| So if somebody comes in with a beer, you're fucked. | ||
| You can't take, yeah. | ||
| You gotta kick them out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| But in West Hollywood, there will be places where you can go and smoke on-premises. | ||
| That's gonna be weird, huh? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Go get high with a bunch of strangers? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It makes sense in Amsterdam, because it's a walking city, and you can use your coffee shop tour to walk around the city and go from coffee shop to coffee shop and sightsee, and it's really nice. | ||
| Sober up. | ||
| But in L.A., what are you, driving from coffee shop to coffee shop? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fucking come on. | |
| Nobody walks here. | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
| Drive there? | ||
| It's going to be like that scene with Ray Liotta and Goodfellas with the helicopters flying overhead and he's freaking out. | ||
| I remade that scene frame for frame and it got kicked off YouTube because you have to use the real music and I got trademark infringement. | ||
| But I did it frame for frame with the helicopters. | ||
| What do you mean you did it? | ||
| I remade that helicopter chase scene with me for a car review. | ||
| I was reviewing Cadillac and I did the fucking thing. | ||
| I threw the bag in. | ||
| I went up looking at helicopters and we did the... | ||
| So what was the problem? | ||
| Did you use the same music? | ||
| Yeah, the actual music. | ||
| Rolling Stones, right? | ||
| Yeah, you have to use the actual music. | ||
| Otherwise, it's not Rolling Stones. | ||
| What is it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| It's not Layla. | ||
| It's Layla? | ||
| No. | ||
| Fucking hell. | ||
| Whatever it is, you have to use the exact music, and it didn't work. | ||
| It got kicked off of YouTube. | ||
| It's too bad. | ||
| Spent a lot of time made in that. | ||
| Well, they're really good at spotting copyright music now, or anything copywritten. | ||
| I thought I could get around it if I didn't monetize the video, but it didn't help. | ||
| You know when we get fucked? | ||
| Whenever we put up a video of any nature thing, like a bear killing something or something like that, those are all bought by someone, almost like patent trolls. | ||
| When people put them up, they just take it down. | ||
| You have to offer them money. | ||
| Like stock footage companies or something. | ||
| Yeah, all that stuff gets yanked down off of Facebook. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ugh. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| YouTube and Facebook. | ||
| Those are two places that stuff gets... | ||
| Facebook, like, I don't put videos on Facebook anymore because it just gets stolen immediately. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And also their revenue is... | ||
| What do you mean by it gets stolen? | ||
| It's very easy for someone to rip your video off of, you know, Facebook. | ||
| Well, put it somewhere else on Facebook and whatever, versus if they re-upload it somewhere else on YouTube, the software algorithm will generally catch it. | ||
| Oh, I see. | ||
| So the software algorithm in Facebook is not as effective? | ||
| Yeah, they don't really give a shit. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| They're too busy selling your information to the fucking Russians! | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Jamie was watching the video of Zuckerberg. | ||
| Did you watch Zuckerberg? | ||
| How did it go? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was driving. | |
| He should know the answer to that. | ||
| He had to go again today. | ||
| I was watching right before you got here. | ||
| I don't know where she was from, but she was saying, you're the CEO of this company, and you should know some of these answers. | ||
| She was listing all the shit he didn't know. | ||
| I was like, this is ridiculous. | ||
| Afterwards, now they've shown, which I guess it's part of now public information, his notes that he had as references that he was looking at. | ||
| I've only seen one picture of it. | ||
| Just very weird stuff that seems blatantly obvious that he should know or should say that's different from what we think. | ||
| Maybe we think they should be able to tell us. | ||
| I get the impression that this company grew so fast that they don't even know what the fuck is going on in there. | ||
| Well, that was the other thing. | ||
| He was talking about their influence on possible... | ||
| Are we going to continue? | ||
| Yeah, we'll continue. | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| He was talking about his influence on all these different upcoming elections that were coming up and about how they wanted to make sure that there was no bots that were Influencing these elections and I stopped and thought about it. | ||
| I'm like, oh my god In that moment of him saying that I realized like what pressure he must be under what pressure that company's under there They went from being a thing where people could share pictures like of hey, this is us on our summer vacation like hey, you know fucking we're gonna go to the pub on Friday and That's what Facebook kind of was, right? | ||
| People would talk about certain things in the news, they would have opinions, you put up something, a bunch of people comment on it. | ||
| That's what it was. | ||
| Now, with this last election, and with him testifying in front of Congress, what I'm seeing is Facebook being like one of the most important sources of influence in the world today, and it's not really being completely managed. | ||
| The Russians. | ||
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| There's a little bit like Google needs to be looked into. | ||
| What's going on with my mic? | ||
| Google also probably. | ||
| They have a data. | ||
| I think someone was just looking into this. | ||
| People downloaded their Facebook profile and they're like, my file's one gigabyte. | ||
| How much data is in here? | ||
| People found out a way to download theirs and find their information. | ||
| What does Facebook know about me? | ||
| Apparently there's also one that Google has on everyone and it's much larger. | ||
| Cue the music. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dun, dun, dun. | |
| I'm not shocked. | ||
| You know, I wouldn't be nervous if it wasn't for that. | ||
| That Damore memo thing really changed my mind about a lot of things. | ||
| Not because, you know, it's a subject that's near and dear to my heart, but because the way they were handling it was not... | ||
| They weren't being honest. | ||
| They weren't being honest about the science. | ||
| They weren't being honest about the reaction. | ||
| Even the way they were describing it, we're talking about the James Damore Google memo. | ||
| Oh, I don't know. | ||
| Was that the sexism thing? | ||
| What was that? | ||
| Well, it was talking about women in tech. | ||
| He was trying to explain why some women are not influenced by it. | ||
| The way Google handled it made me very nervous because they weren't being honest about the information. | ||
| They weren't being honest about the results. | ||
| They weren't being honest about what was in his. | ||
| They were saying he was reinforcing harmful gender stereotypes. | ||
| That's not what he was doing. | ||
| What he was talking about is the science of the difference in the psychology between men and women and why women would gravitate towards different careers. | ||
| Maybe that's why more women aren't in tech, and maybe there's ways to get women in tech. | ||
| Well, you've taken that angle before, right, with women in fighting and women in sports, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's some women that are not going to want to be into those things. | ||
| There's some women that are going to be. | ||
| What is the number in comparison to men? | ||
| It's less likely that a woman's going to be into fighting than a man. | ||
| I don't think that's extraordinary to say, but a lot of women are into it. | ||
| It doesn't mean that it's impossible, but it's just we're looking at human beings. | ||
| If you're an outlier and you're a woman who really loves to fight... | ||
| There's nothing wrong with that. | ||
| I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but I am saying it's much more rare than a woman who wants to become a nurse or do something that's traditionally a female caregiver sort of a position, which is really common. | ||
| And I didn't read it. | ||
| Did the letter memo indicate that science says women were less predisposed to becoming programmers or something like that? | ||
| No. | ||
| No, it just was talking about gender choices and choices people make and why they make them based on personality traits and why things are more common. | ||
| Certain things are more common in males. | ||
| Certain things are more common in women. | ||
| And that this would indicate why there were less women that were involved in tech. | ||
| And it wasn't some systemic sort of discrimination campaign put on by men. | ||
| You know, but... | ||
| My point was we were talking about them having all the information that you have, like Google and Facebook, how much information they have on you. | ||
| It would make me less nervous. | ||
| If I didn't know about that, how they handled that Google memo thing. | ||
| Because I'm like, well, you guys aren't being honest about what this is. | ||
| What the guy wrote. | ||
| You're painting the guy out to be a villain. | ||
| And you think if you fire him and drown this, that this story goes out. | ||
| And then you guys get to look like social justice warriors. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then you don't take the heat from what, you know, is an objective analysis of this issue. | ||
| Well, I'm not sure Mark Zuckerberg has a lot of incentive to be totally honest in this case. | ||
| Either he's totally honest and he's malicious, or he's totally honest and he's almost comically ignorant about certain things. | ||
| Yeah, I think he's almost got to say he doesn't know, but the problem is if they can prove he knows. | ||
| I mean, he should know, though, I feel like also part of the issue. | ||
| Well, here's the thing, he should know. | ||
| Now, him saying he doesn't know, what if they can pull up an email? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, what if they have access to all of his emails and it shows that he knows? | ||
| I was talking to you yesterday about it and we were like, what about the Facebook recording thing? | ||
| Is anybody going to bring that up? | ||
| And it was brought up and he said that they don't record audio. | ||
| Facebook doesn't. | ||
| You were talking about it with Google, weren't you? | ||
| Were you talking about it with Google? | ||
| That if you were talking in a room about a certain subject... | ||
| You've had that happen, right? | ||
| That's the Apple HomePod. | ||
| You've been talking about something in a room and then had pop-up ads come up, right? | ||
| No, I haven't. | ||
| You never have? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I believe it, though. | ||
| Have you had it? | ||
| It happened to me before. | ||
| I don't know how I couldn't tell you where the signals went, but I've definitely had strange, it could be a coincidence, but I've had strange ads pop up that are... | ||
| I read that, I don't know if it's accurate though, but I was reading that people have tried to prove, and it could be people on Facebook's side just to give them propaganda, that that's almost nearly impossible to do right now. | ||
| Just because of the technology it would take to record your audio, have it... | ||
| Scan by something and then deliver and add to you based off of that in amount of time. | ||
| Is it possible? | ||
| It's entirely possible I could have looked at something similar at a recent time and it was just far enough away for me to not make an exact connection. | ||
| I don't want to say some shit that ain't true. | ||
| I think what it represents, though, is that you recognize that that is potentially in the future. | ||
| Oh, for sure. | ||
| Especially with things like Alexa and things like HomePod and the Google Home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, devices that are designed to listen to your voice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's the whole point of them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Is all this good? | ||
| I don't know, dude. | ||
| I get a lot of shit done. | ||
| I'm real productive. | ||
| I have things that would be very difficult to find that can be delivered. | ||
| Bro, I have a 2001 Mercedes SL500. It's my traffic car. | ||
| It's perfect for traffic. | ||
| A nice big Clarion system. | ||
| You have a traffic car. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| I love my traffic car. | ||
| And it's got the old school removable hardtop, so I needed to get the stand to put the hardtop on when I took it off, right? | ||
| Amazon, 12 hours. | ||
| I had a stand for a 2001 Mercedes delivered to my house. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| That level of convenience? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'll give up a little privacy. | ||
| A little bit. | ||
| A little bit? | ||
|
unidentified
|
A little bit. | |
| I'm fine. | ||
| I'll give it up. | ||
| You can have it. | ||
| That's what's going to get us. | ||
| That's what's going to get us to turn us into machines. | ||
| Just give up a little bit here, a little bit there, a little bit here, a little bit there. | ||
| I don't want to give up all of it. | ||
| I'm definitely opposed to vehicle tracking. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| You know, like about having a car that knows where you've been and tells somebody about it, which a certain company does do that. | ||
| What company is this? | ||
| Well, Teslas know where you've been. | ||
| Well, don't they all by virtue of their GPS? But Teslas are wirelessly connected to Tesla. | ||
| So part of the reason Tesla's semi-autonomous system works as well as it does, and part of the reason Tesla is... | ||
| Doing what they're doing as a company is your cars, all Teslas on the road, are collecting mapping data for Tesla in real time. | ||
| So they can be ethical with that data or they cannot. | ||
| And odds are they don't give a shit where you're going other than to help them figure out where to put the next superchargers and whatnot. | ||
| And in general, you have to assume to improve your experience. | ||
| But if you extrapolate this 50 years down the road and some of our privacies get worn away, you could end up with a car that... | ||
| Where, you know, where it's very easy to subpoena the records of your Tesla and find out exactly where you went. | ||
| So a Tesla would be the worst car if you were like a bank robber. | ||
| Fuck yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
First of all, if you're a bank robber, you need analog. | |
| Analog. | ||
| Big fuel tank. | ||
| Think Transporter 1, Jason Statham. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's what you want. | ||
| Big fuel cell. | ||
| Black. | ||
| Late model car. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| Invisible black again? | ||
| A Vantablack? | ||
| Vantablack. | ||
| Does anybody have a Vantablack car? | ||
| No. | ||
| No one? | ||
| Someone right now is listening. | ||
| They haven't painted anything big in it yet. | ||
| No one yet, motherfucker. | ||
| I have Vantacar on the way. | ||
| There's some weird environmental shit with Vantablack. | ||
| Because John Ward was telling me that... | ||
| Oh, there is one. | ||
| No, that is velvet, my friend. | ||
| Velvet? | ||
| That's fucking velvet. | ||
| Ew. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| That's real? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Wait a minute. | ||
| That says Vantablack, but that's not Vantablack. | ||
| That is a velvet car. | ||
| That's on Rodeo. | ||
| Wait a minute. | ||
| This Rolls Royce is not a Vantablack? | ||
| It's not Vantablack. | ||
| Is it impossible? | ||
| It says it is there. | ||
| I'm telling you, they haven't painted a car in Vantablack. | ||
| So either that's fake or it's the velvet shit they're doing now. | ||
| I think that's a computer. | ||
| It's effectively wood. | ||
| Yeah, wood. | ||
| Oh, wood it would look like. | ||
| Now, what is it made out of that allows it to get to this level of darkness? | ||
| You know, I don't know. | ||
| It is just crazy looking. | ||
| That looks dope. | ||
| Joe, please don't make a velvet car. | ||
| We can't be friends anymore. | ||
| I saw Justin Bieber once driving around in a leopard print Audi. | ||
| Oh, he's got to do what he's got to do. | ||
| If you were 23 years old and drowning in pussy, you'd probably do the same thing. | ||
| I think this was years ago. | ||
| He was probably 19. He's probably trying to keep them away from him. | ||
| He's probably trying to have the grossest looking car possible just to say, look, stay away from my dick. | ||
| He needs to recover. | ||
| Who of your crazy guests has rolled up to your studio in the dopest car? | ||
| Does anything come to mind? | ||
| Did Bilzerian roll up in that 6x6 he's got? | ||
| There's the leopard print! | ||
| I told you I wasn't bullshitting. | ||
| I saw that thing for real. | ||
| That is so gross. | ||
| That's a disgusting car. | ||
| I bet you didn't even really believe me until you saw that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I did. | |
| Because I knew he had a chrome... | ||
| Fisker. | ||
| Fisker. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Fisker Karma, wasn't it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And they just re-released that thing. | ||
| I heard they did that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| A company bought all the assets and... | ||
| They started blowing up when they hit water. | ||
| They're trying again. | ||
| I asked for one for review. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did you? | |
| They said no. | ||
| I was politely declined. | ||
| Yeah, I wonder why. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, you got a big mouth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You're going to drive through a puddle and it's going to explode and you're going to tell people. | ||
| Call him like I see him. | ||
| Yeah, electric cars, man, there's a bright future. | ||
| It's just I don't want to jump in yet, and I don't want anything driving for me. | ||
| True. | ||
| Have you driven an electric car ever? | ||
| Yeah, I've driven a Tesla. | ||
| They're nice. | ||
| They're nice. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| It feels weird. | ||
| It does, but in an urban environment, you can see why it's a nice experience. | ||
| When I drive an electric car, there's the chrome Fisker. | ||
| When I drive an electric car and I get where I'm going, I am noticeably more relaxed than when I'm driving a gas car, especially if I'm driving a loud sports car. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Those vibrations and stuff go through your body and kind of like stick with you versus the serenity of that silence. | ||
| Just the 250 mile range annoys the shit out of me. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| No, they need infrastructure. | ||
| Like, considering how many Teslas are in Los Angeles, there's an embarrassingly small number of superchargers in this city. | ||
| There's not a lot of places to charge a Tesla outside of your home. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And they really need to do the infrastructure and they need to come up with a faster charging solution, which Porsche, it seems, may have done. | ||
| Porsche has a new electric car coming out called the Mission E, which is a Tesla fighting thing. | ||
| And they supposedly have a fast charging system that can do like an 80% charge in 10 minutes or something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| So, you know... | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Ten minutes is pretty close to gas. | ||
| Ten minutes is fast. | ||
| Like gas is three, right? | ||
| Yeah, three to five. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Ten is fine. | ||
| Ten works. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Ten's good. | ||
| And a competitor's good because, you know, Tesla's, you can't charge them for free anymore. | ||
| You don't? | ||
| No. | ||
| The Model 3s and the new ones, they don't come with free charging anymore. | ||
| These motherfuckers, that's how they get you. | ||
| Five dollar rocks, first one's free. | ||
| Oh, that's how they get you. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| No more free juice. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| How long was it free for? | ||
| A few years. | ||
| 2013, the Model S came out in four years or so. | ||
| So what happens when you pull into the airport and you go to one of them electric spots? | ||
| Credit card. | ||
| Or you have a, you know, a RFID fob or something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Motherfuckers. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| These motherfuckers. | ||
| Gotta pay to play, my friend. | ||
| Why can't they figure out how, with all the sun in LA, to have a solar-powered car? | ||
| Uh, you just... | ||
| It's just not possible with photovoltaic cells to generate enough juice. | ||
| Dude, it takes so much juice to move a 4,000-pound car down the road. | ||
| So much more than turning on a light or playing a radio. | ||
| That mass movement, it takes so much energy. | ||
| Fisker had something on the roof that powers the radio, right? | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| There are a couple of... | ||
| Fisker was one. | ||
| Someone else did a photovoltaic roof where it circulates the air when it's really hot out or it can pre-turn on certain things and shit like that. | ||
| But it's not enough to run or charge a car. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What if that's going to change in the future? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Have solar panels really... | ||
| Have they come that far yet? | ||
| Well, Tesla has a roof tile. | ||
| Have you seen this? | ||
| Yeah, I have. | ||
| The Tesla roof tile. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's fascinating. | ||
| They're trying to do a Tesla solar tile that goes on your roof that then will feed into the Tesla battery pack that hangs on your wall, you know, and then you can be... | ||
| Autonomous. | ||
| Basically. | ||
| Sort of, but you're still on the grid. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And you give money back to the thing. | ||
| The reason why they do that, they don't want you being completely off the grid. | ||
| They don't want the grid to die. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, people are really worried about that. | ||
| Well, I'm building a building right now. | ||
| So get this, LA, you know, I'm a Democrat, but LA will make you want to hang yourself building shit. | ||
| So I have to prep my building for solar panels, whether I put them on or not. | ||
| If I put them on, they're $92,000 to cover the roof and solar panels. | ||
| And I will pay... | ||
| They pay themselves off in seven years. | ||
| So I generate $12,000 or so a year in power. | ||
| And then after that, I'm fully... | ||
| Fully positive, and the city will pay me every year. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| And they pay themselves off in seven years, and the lifespan of them is 20 years, so I could potentially have many years of free power. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| So you're... | ||
| You're building... | ||
| I'm building a collector car storage facility. | ||
| Here's where I plug it. | ||
| It's called Westside Collector Car Storage. | ||
| It's going to be in Playa Vista, California, which is the sweet new part of LA. Beautiful area. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Do you know where the Clippers practice facility is? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| You've seen that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| It's right next to the Fox Hills Mall, right by LAX, Venice. | ||
| It's conveniently located. | ||
| And I'm going to have storage for 150 cars. | ||
| It's going to be secure, climate control, the whole deal. | ||
| So you're doing it as an investment? | ||
| As a business. | ||
| Yeah, as a business. | ||
| Ground up. | ||
| It's for customers. | ||
| It's not for me. | ||
| And we're building a cool studio there like this, like you've got instead of my shanty little studio now. | ||
| So you're going to do a podcast for me as well? | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
| And the podcast studio is going to be elevated. | ||
| So we have car stackers. | ||
| So I have 24 high stackers. | ||
| And the studio is elevated and we'll just look out. | ||
| Over the stacked cars, yeah. | ||
| It's gonna be killer. | ||
| But I have to comply with a lot of California environmental craziness. | ||
| I have to put a fire hydrant in. | ||
| Like, for the city. | ||
| Like, I have to do it for the city to get a building permit. | ||
| Well, it kind of makes sense if your fucking cars catch on fire. | ||
| You got a lot of gasoline in that one spot. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| The fire system that we have to build is incredible. | ||
| I would imagine. | ||
| Yeah, and we have to have auxiliary pumps. | ||
| It flows 3,500 gallons a minute. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And every car, so the stacks, every car on a stack has two nozzles at it, front and back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| The whole way. | ||
| Every car has its own set of nozzles. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| So if a fire starts over here, it's completely contained over here, and the idea is that it doesn't... | ||
| And do they kick on automatically? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| That's incredible. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| That'd be really neat. | ||
| But I'm like four years into this now. | ||
| Have you broken ground yet? | ||
| Hopefully next week. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow! | |
| Hopefully next week. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Four years. | |
| My permits just got approved. | ||
| Wow, that's dope, dude. | ||
| Come back on when it's done. | ||
| Oh, it'll be great. | ||
| Come back on when it's done. | ||
| I'm so excited. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll promote it. | |
| Let people know. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| We've been doing this for like three hours and a half. | ||
| Is there anything else? | ||
| Nah. | ||
| Is there any other shit going on? | ||
| No, I'm just happy to see you. | ||
| I'm happy to see you too, man. | ||
| I'm sorry I didn't get to come to your New Year's show because I made it a tradition two years in a row. | ||
| All over this place. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I liked your new special too. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| The one where it was cropped tight? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I liked that very much. | ||
| I'm doing that with my next one too. | ||
| I'm trying to make it like you're sitting in the audience. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| That's the idea behind it. | ||
| Like Chappelle's tiny one he did in the belly room. | ||
| I was at Gotham Comedy Club when he first told that Iceberg Slim story when he came back from Africa. | ||
| I was friends with Chris Mazzilli and he's like, come down, Chappelle's back. | ||
| You know Chris? | ||
| Yeah, from back in New York. | ||
| He has a Corvette Stingray like yours. | ||
| Does he really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Shout out to Chris. | ||
| Shout out to Chris Mazzilli. | ||
| That special was good, and Judah Friedlander's was amazing. | ||
| Is it on Netflix? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's called America's the Best Country in the United States. | ||
| It is so good. | ||
| Alright, beautiful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'll check it out. | |
| It's so good. | ||
| Thanks for having me, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's just fun. | |
| My pleasure, man. | ||
