LIVE
My daughter, I have a, my daughter has a Prius and she just loves it.
It's like, it's not, you know, and so she went away to college, she got a scholarship.
So she's in college in New York right now.
And so like her car is paid off and so I didn't want to drive it.
And it was kind of like used it as my airport car that I just leave it at the
airport when I go and then I don't have to get a ride ever.
No one's ever going to mess with it.
Well, then I was like, well, what am I going to get now that she's gone?
So I got the best car ever.
What'd you get?
I got a Hyundai Santa Cruz.
Is that the El Camino one?
Yeah.
What, what the fuck sparks that vehicle?
You imagine the stories locally.
You know, Jesse, Jesse James probably got the most bad ass car.
That cars, I've only had them a little while.
That car's almost got me in so many fights.
Like why?
Yeah, with soccer moms, probably who gets in the fight?
I think no one has any respect for it.
They think it's like someone, the same person that's driving like a super
route back or something and like I was kicking my wife to the doctor the other day.
And like, like, okay, the exit was coming up in downtown Austin and
first street, like the exit comes up really fast.
And so there's like a super duty in the slow lane.
I'm in the fast lane.
So I just gassed it and like changed lanes gradually, like a three lane lane
change in front of the suit.
The dude probably didn't even have to hit his brakes or nothing.
Like I gassed it and didn't impede as far as dude, they got all crazy in the
E lane and passed me and I'm like, all right, cool.
Carpipes.
This is a TV show right here.
I went and passed him back and then the dude like pulled up next to me and
like, probably a bunch of names and stuff is yelling at me and then he like
opened his console like he had a gun in there.
And I'm in there with my wife and my wife's like the best shooter I've ever met.
And it's like, bro, you picked the wrong Santa Cruz.
And so I like got out of like, let's go.
Come on, like, get it out.
Let's get that gun out.
But it's like, then I realized like, oh, it's not me.
It's the car.
Like skin that smoke wagon to Jesse James impersonator.
Yeah, for you.
I mean, it's buddy.
Dude, OK, you want to hit you got.
I'm telling you the Santa Cruz.
He's trying to make his believers.
What's the towing capacity on that thing?
You could probably Richard Rollins has got the Dodge commercials.
I think you're working the Hyundai commercial route.
My wife shoots all these gun matches and all these crazy locations.
So if I take the TRX, yeah, it's comfortable to drive.
But, you know, it'll use like $1,200 in gas.
Yeah. And it's OK, cool.
I can afford the gas, but I just hate stopping every
hundred eighty or two hundred miles to get gas.
Like it's just super annoying.
Well, this thing gets like, I don't know, 30 or 40.
And but I noticed it like when I'm driving it,
like the lane assist stuff is like super aggressive.
Like I did no research.
I just bought it like, oh, OK, cool.
I want that one.
I'll get one of those, whatever.
Turbo four cylinder.
OK, cool. I want that one.
And I noticed the lane assist is like really fighting me.
I'm like, well, dude, come on, how do I shut that off?
And so I was going through the manual.
It's got a feature like auto drive, like driver assist.
Dude, I can drive it from here all the way to the airport and back
and never touch anything like it.
It's like you just said it, you set the distance of the car
and you just press the button and it drives itself like it's crazy,
which, you know, I normally wouldn't be into that.
But for a Hyundai Santa Cruz, I don't even really care if I drive it or not.
Like you're soon to be new father.
I mean, you've got to start making responsible decisions.
So you've got yourself a new Hyundai.
And there's something that's.
Is there a button on it that can make it look cooler?
I don't know. I'm thinking about it.
I was like, I think I'm losing it.
I was looking at the back of it because it says like this is after
I almost got in a fight with the dude and the guy like trying to pull the gun on me.
I was like, can I make some kind of like
Jerry can rack or something that goes in the tailgate and anodize it black
so it covers the whole Santa Cruz logo.
And this is some type of like, you know, a KC light bar or something like that.
Make it a little bit of crap.
Don't like don't act like you as soon as we get off the phone,
you're going to look up on the scene about Googling.
I think if anything deserves a gold pair of truck nuts, let's just hold on.
We can I got to see you do this one of them up.
I got some kind of cool lines to them.
I got the desert tan one.
What did you mean? I blacked out the way to see it.
Oh, so you've modified this thing.
Like, yeah, I put a two inch lift like the lift kid all the way around
and a little bit bigger tires and who makes aftermarket parts for these things?
Nobody type in anywhere.
So what is a lift kid? Is that like this guy?
It doesn't have a lease.
You just put big like coil spacers or something in it, spacers.
Yeah, it's awesome.
A little car and I got it too, actually, because my wife doesn't drive.
She doesn't have a driver's license.
So I got it.
So something easy for her to drive.
I didn't want to put my miles on Sonny's Prius.
Is there a West Coast chopper sticker on it yet?
So that's what it looks like.
You know, but not like close your eyes
and kind of picture it with a blacked out grill and a lift.
Yeah.
And because, you know, like you said, you know what's coming
in five years when they're they're building this out and you're doing noise
and they're going to say, well, you got to be done by a certain time.
Is there any type of reassurance you're able to get?
Yeah, I could read you guys the language that they will have
in there. So all the beads of the homes,
they have to sign a different thing now that basically says
is a deed restriction upon all the homes that are going next to the track.
This was the commissioner's way of like pleasing us,
which it still is.
It's probably not going to probably not going to like an anti-caron clause.
It's an anti-caron clause.
That's what I should have labeled that.
But you would you'd think that the people when they come to look
at that new house prior to purchase would see what's
the mess like buying next to the railroad tracks and then calling like,
you know, BNSF when you're like pissed off because it's too loud.
You're going to see what's there.
You're going to have one dude there with like a seventy three Nova
that's just going to be in his backyard with this above ground pool being like,
yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. So they're doing like they're doing a race
like they're doing some race village style homes next to it.
That's kind of like part of their solution.
But it essentially says like
something like this, their adjacent racetrack and draft
drag strip is located adjacent to this property,
the Freedom Factory in Bradenton Motorsports Park,
and it has their parcel IDs motor vehicle racing and ancillary activities
conducted on the drag strip site and racetrack site are lawful existing
uses of the property by Manatee County Code, yada, yada, yada
via these permits, which are also labeled.
And then it says
the noise is well within our rights to have and that
as owning this house, you can't take out a suit against the track.
Now, however, these guys could probably make a contract,
you know, make some sort of company if a bunch of homeowners got together,
they could make a company and then sue us that way.
But like what we I'm ready to I'm going down with this shit.
The way I see this is in eight years, dude,
I'm going to have some videos that are going crazy because like
I'm going to be up there in court,
battling these people to the fucking end,
because my track has been there since 1970, and I will not let it die.
That's when you actually have a 24 hour race.
Oh, yeah.
And you get that.
I like that I'm fired up for these people to make their move.
I'm already you can say when say when really like you want like I'm ready
to I'll be standing at the gate with my sleeves cut off.
I'm ready to fucking throw hands.
Well, I'm so so ready for it.
I don't want it to happen, but I am fired up for the day.
You don't want it to happen.
But at the same time, you you do.
It does have history.
It's it's yours.
You feel passionate about it.
And at the same time, it's not going to be bad content.
You know that it would be good.
I mean, look at what whistle and diesel is still getting out of a jet ski
spraying thing. I mean, he's posting videos nonstop and it's still going on
a year and a half later for like splashing somebody on a jet ski.
Oh, yeah.
They live stream the legal proceedings.
That's a whole nother audience there.
Or you get that monster truck from the Doritos commercial.
Remember that is like crushing houses and shit.
Oh, yeah.
Blowing fucking fireworks and stuff up.
It's going to definitely be interesting to see, like,
you know, what who ends up buying these homes next to the.
I'm willing to bet that people are going to buy homes near the track
and then take out suit against the home builders developer.
Yeah, because people are going to buy it.
I didn't know this was race track.
So it's going to be messy, like for sure.
So.
A new purchase that I made and I have it in my pocket today.
And this is really something else.
This is something I'm pretty proud of.
Hey, we can tell. Yeah.
You're not just happy.
I just happen to be carrying this today.
That's that EOS limited edition Miami Vice OTF.
And you guys are jealous.
I don't know.
There's more guys than you that would be buying that five other dudes.
And it's got some heft to it.
Go ahead and give that a push, Josh.
Wow. You think of that action is really good on that.
That's my first EOS blade.
OTFs are always kind of a roll of the dice as far as the action on them
and the like the tolerance in the blade.
That thing's bad ass.
I can actually, because it is subtle for Miami Vice themed stuff,
like normally what you would like a lot louder than this.
But I could get down with that.
Man, the weight, the heft and action is amazing.
It's there's no saying what the value is on this.
You bought it.
So yeah, there is exactly what you paid for.
That's what it's worth.
It's worth more than that.
I promise you it was worth more than that.
Why didn't the guy charge more than that?
It's like when you can't have it, man.
When somebody can't have it, then it's worth more to them.
And we got willwood breaks all the way around.
And I was lost.
But I just heard impact.
Yeah, that one went down the wrong tube.
Little spicy.
I enjoyed it as well until I decided to inhale it and choke to death.
Mid podcast.
Oh, yeah, I was going to bring that up later.
You look like an idiot.
Yeah, I'm aware of that.
It was super funny because now I'm going to ask for that on a loop.
Now we're going to cut that out.
No, they're not going to edit that.
No, they're not.
They can edit it out of the podcast, but I'll personally have it.
You will not have it.
I will.
It'll be on my phone every time you call me over.
Will would guess what I can just watch this podcast
and I'll be able to see it over and over and over.
It's not.
It won't be edited out.
It'll stay.
I doubt Elliot is going to make a clip out of that either.
Yeah, he's not.
He's got a probably an annual review.
See, my problem with Fast and the Furious was so when they went to space.
Well, no, there's there's many, there's many, there's many problems
with the Fast and Furious franchise, but this is my problem of Fast and Furious.
And I can't really fault them because it is it was funny
because it's it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy, right?
So I grew up in the 80s and the 90s and I went to like quote street races
and they didn't look anything like a Fast and the Furious movie, Street Race.
It was a bunch of old dudes hanging out in a parking lot.
There was no like music plan and hot.
It wasn't a race.
No, it was no, it was not.
But now it is like if you go to like a grid life event,
it looks like a Fast and the Furious movie.
So I give them props for that.
But my problem is previous to that, you could be a car guy
and just be out of shape and it was OK.
Now, if you don't look like Dominic Toretto, you are not a good car guy.
Like it's like, where's your sick pack of abs while you're working on that car?
It's like, I am eating pop tarts and building cars here.
All right, I'm going to the gym.
That's why I don't like Fast and Furious.
That's my people.
First, that's the first angle I've heard on that one.
Yeah, it's good with everything else.
Just it just that I'm busy.
No, there's so do you listen to the podcast?
How did this get made?
No. Oh, God.
So number one, put that on your list, because if you watch any of the Fast
and Furious movies, what listen to how did this get made?
And it is an amazing podcast.
So it's like they make fun of Fast and Furious, but in like a serious side
where it's like the whole theory of broadcast is like,
how do these movies actually get made?
Who greenlit this movie?
Because this is a stupid idea.
Like, and so they go through the movie and they just make fun of the fact
that like, like the latest Fast 10, right?
Like, how did they get another submarine?
Like, like, where did this other like the whole thing is just it's it's
a little at some point, like there'd be a presidential order about like this
group of guys not having access to all of the latest technology.
But that that's that whole thing, right?
Like that if you know that the the behind the scenes of Fast and Furious,
right? So Fast and Furious launches fast to like the Vin Diesel's out.
He thinks it's a joke.
He thinks it's stupid.
He quits. He doesn't never going to do this.
Then by three, he realized this is just a money making machine.
I'd like to get paid and the network is just like and the studio is just like
we will make as many of these as we possibly can.
Like seven was supposed to be the last Fast and Furious.
That's when the network was like, no, we need more.
And it just they just, all right, fine.
We'll just go to space.
You think it's almost like a joke?
Like, what can we get away with?
It has to be a space has to be.
Yeah. It has to be just people just sitting around
to be like, just as high as it can.
Right. They're just like, they're just like, they're just like dropping CBD
gummies and they're just like rocking it out.
I was like, all right, so hear me out.
What if we took a fiero to space?
Like, no, there's no way that makes any sense. No.
I haven't I still haven't watched the last one.
I don't watch 10 is on a plane.
So there's nothing else.
And there was they went to space and then they're like just jumping
like three thousand miles in a car space.
One's the last one. No, that was nine.
Nine. They went to space.
Ten. Ten was. And I mean, I watched it.
And then I watched it again.
I think and maybe I wasn't fair to it, but it's still really bad.
Is it still the same crew is like Luda is still in it?
Well, no, this is the best part.
We're in it every everyone who's died has come back like nobody.
Yeah, the best part is, is the only person who hasn't come back
is the person who's actually died.
But he's still alive in the fast and furious universe.
Are you serious? I am absolutely serious.
Yes, he's still alive.
He just doesn't come somewhere.
He's just busy.
He just doesn't come to any of the missions.
Just a Brian's busy like a fucking desk job.
I have no one to eat it in with paperwork.
That's the single most greatest fact that's come out of this podcast.
So everybody that's died in the movie has made it wait.
It made their way back as of 10.
Every person who has died in a fast and furious film has is now alive again.
They just find them.
They were like often Columbia doing something for just random stuff.
Yeah, like it's it's just like I was dead.
Hon who died in three came back and said like it.
No, they're just that no one dies, no one dies.
They all come back.
What about the from from one?
The little crackhead didn't know.
Oh, yeah, no.
So yeah, he's the only one.
He's the only one.
Yeah, he was full blown in that was back when it was still a movie about cars.
Yeah, you know, yeah.
Yeah, that was when they actually involved.
I don't think in 10, there's a single like actual car part thing.
I think there's one pseudo race and that's it.
They you can like in when they started to get further along,
they sort of like you could tell they were like they're basically superheroes
at this point, right?
So it's like they can do anything.
But I think like by this point in time, they still try to put some car stuff in.
But I'm telling you, number number one, I'm not going to even try to act like
I didn't like it.
What's it? Oh, the first one.
Seeing Fast and Furious in the theater, I wouldn't argue with that at all.
Well, that it was so I mean, that was like we were living that life and seeing
that shit like on the TV, they got so many things wrong and names and stuff like
that, but it didn't fucking matter.
It was like you're seeing all these brands.
And I was going to see me at that point in time.
And it just like seeing that on the big screen was like we fucking made it.
Oh, if it wasn't for Fast and the Furious,
Noss energy drink probably would not exist.
Oh, 100 percent.
And nobody would know what Noss was.
And Holly will be the first one to tell you they make more money off Noss
than off any other part in their catalog.
Just that one licensing deal.
Basically, yeah.
Oh, that's your number one revenue stream is just licensing.
Or at least it was. I don't know if it's still out there.
What the fuck Vin Diesel's up to.
He's cash in checks. Yeah.
Yeah. That's at the end of the day.
That's that's what it boils down to.
Back to the front of the truck.
What's what's your best?
Popo interaction story.
Well, there we were early days.
Kevin was married and his wife, his ex-wife, Jen,
still a great friend of ours.
Charity and I and Kevin and Jen, we were on our way to SEMA
on Halloween night.
It was Halloween. Have kids.
So we trick or treated 10 o'clock in the evening.
We got on the road in a Honda Civic.
So driving from Salt Lake to Vegas is roughly five and a half, six hours.
We're so tired. It's in the middle of the night.
We decide to stop in St. George, Utah.
We stop at the village or the the the days in.
There's a village in across the parking lot.
So we just get a double bed.
We're just going to grab some sleep because we're both we're all everybody's tired.
Charity and I and Jen lay down.
He hadn't eaten anything.
So he goes across the parking lot to village in.
I got to know it was Danny's because I needed a move over my hammy.
Yeah. I mean, that's a move.
Right. I agree.
Fortunately, there was no local house.
No local house.
So I think Danny's the next best thing for sure.
So so there we are passing out and we get a knock at the door
and Jen thinks Kevin just lost his key.
And so she's got to open the door.
It's a police officer giving us the car keys because he got arrested.
For apparently eating breakfast.
Yeah, that's all that's all that's all my ex wife said.
Jen says, the guy says, are you with Kevin Shealy?
And she's yeah, it's my husband.
She he says, well, we've arrested him for what?
Eating breakfast, she says.
And he says, no.
And for consumption consumption of alcohol by a minor.
OK, it was an old ticket he hadn't paid.
Yeah, I was twenty two at the time.
Yeah, consumption by a minor.
She goes, yeah, it's an old ticket that he had a warrant.
So we're taking him in.
You can pick him up at the Purgatory Correction Facility,
which is just back towards Salt Lake.
So I'm going to say it again.
That is no shit.
Yeah, purgatory hardcore.
Uh, none of your Australian people are going to fuck that place.
So anyway, so Jen and I get up, charity stays in the hotel room.
We get up.
I have a couple of hundred dollars on me.
I can't even remember.
It's like three hundred dollars and some change, whatever to get him out.
And at that time, of course, we're scrounging because yeah, we haven't like hit.
We're just barely in business, right?
So Jen and I go ahead and a couple of ATMs.
And then we start following.
And at this point, too.
Phones don't have GPS on them.
We're flip phone people at this point.
Yep.
So we're trying to find the fucking address for this place.
So it's out, out in the middle of like a barn area where like there's
horse corrals and sagebrush and bullshit.
And we can't find it.
We literally are driving around for like two hours almost.
I'm so pissed off.
I haven't had any sleep.
I was tired.
I'm hungry.
I'm pissed off.
So you were fine off.
I almost had a boyfriend.
That doesn't matter.
Yeah, you got you got breakfast.
Okay, that's that's that still counts.
So so he's in love again, and we're trying to find him to get him out of love.
So we finally find the place.
I'm like, we kept calling him.
It's like, where the fuck is your place?
So we finally find it.
Well, there's a little sagebrush and there's a tiny little sign behind the sagebrush
and a 15 cent light bulb that probably burned out.
You couldn't see it.
Oh, yeah, Dave was he finally get in there.
This squeaky booted little shit walks out like five, like five foot four.
Five foot ish.
OK, five foot ish.
He walks out.
It has to be cash in exact amount.
So I count out the money and he is like and takes it and counts it out again.
He says, you're $10 short.
I said, no, I'm not counted again.
He counts it again.
Yeah, you're $10 short.
I took it from him and I put in little piles so you could see it.
There's an extra three dollars by yourself a slurpee.
I said, that was bad.
They didn't like that.
Yeah, he didn't know he didn't like that.
It gets so much worse.
So because in the whole time now, his ex-wife, Jen, is like a firecracker.
She's very, very funny.
She's riling Dave up, got me pumped up for two hours, fucking around
in the desert trying to find this correction facility.
We can see it from the freeway.
We can't find where the hell it's at.
You can't find the entrance.
So I'm so upset.
I'm like getting rude with this guy.
And he and he finally goes, I said, just buy yourself a squishy.
So he starts waddling with the squeaky little boots and dragging his pistol
like he's wearing his dad's cowboy boots and shit.
Right. This is a cute little guy.
You all hit it off.
And I said, I said, hey, so then I just went one more step.
I said, hey, Barney, if you could hurry up, I was really trying to just stop
and get some sleep and I've been here all fucking night trying to find you guys
a 15 cent light bulb.
I would have been here hours ago.
So let's snap it up.
Yeah, it was bad.
So anyway, so now behind doors where I'm not seeing this, which I get caught up
later on guy comes in, he says, blah, blah, blah, this big dude.
And he goes, hey, what's your buddy's name?
It's Bill and you out.
And he says, Dave Kindig.
And he says, they're all those last name.
Yeah, they're high fiving.
So now the big dude comes out and can I see your ID?
And I was like, yeah, you bet.
You know, are you going to tell me I said, you bet.
I've unfortunately been in your situation before.
He shows me a piece of paper.
He goes, that you tended to win a ticket gone to warrant West Jordan, Utah.
I'm like, yeah, he goes, put your hands behind your back.
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So and he goes, I was like, you got to be shitting me.
He's a shut your mouth.
No, he was a shitting.
Because they're not shitting.
They didn't send Barney out this time.
This isn't the big dude, right?
And so he handcuffs me and Jen.
I was like, it's like another 200 bucks almost.
And I'm like, oh, God.
So they take me in.
Kevin's putting his shoes on.
Well, I bailed you out.
Well, no, you're you're getting ahead of the game.
So I walk in there and I was like, this is bullshit.
Kevin's like, sure.
And I was like, yeah, this town needs a fucking anima.
Oh, yeah, he's just rolling.
He is mad. Now he's in jail and sit down.
The guy says, sit down and shut up.
I said, this town needs a fucking anima.
And all of a sudden he picks me up.
I'm still handcuffed with my hands behind my back.
The dude picks me up from my hands and my arm.
Yeah, it's doable.
Not hardly touching the ground.
He threw me into brick wall, literally 10 feet away.
Grab me again, threw me another 20 feet, at least into a wooden bench.
He goes, you're a big fucking hurry.
Oh, buddy, you're not getting out here for for two days.
And I'm like, I got to be in SEMA like tomorrow.
You don't have you have any idea?
This car that we're doing, we got all kinds of big shit going on.
We're going to be somebody.
I know we didn't have shit down there.
We're just walking the SEMA show.
Oh, yeah, we didn't have any.
We were I mean, this is a 98 Honda Civic four door.
Like this is early, no money, no nothing.
Yeah, I had zero credit cards and zero credit.
So anyway, about five minutes later.
Dude comes back in, I was like, hey, officer, I'm sorry.
And I'll apologize profusely and send the guy I called Barney.
And I apologize.
He goes, how can you have you doing that in here?
He says it'll be a riot.
No timing.
And it ends up that Barney knew him from the mini truck clubs.
You're guessing he's been off your body.
I'm nobody.
I'm just I'm just a Volkswagen dude.
Customizing dumb shit.
And he's a mini trucker.
And I got lippy with the cop thinking I was the big shit on campus
because his ex-wife get me all riled up.
And I was like, I learned my lesson.
I did.
I had bruises and cuts and shit.
All of my those things get tight.
Oh, yeah, fucking tight tight.
And then so it was by a pissed off.
And it was super funny because I had enough cash to bail me out,
but you can't bail yourself out.
So as soon as I got out, I like turned around.
I'm like, I'm here to bail my buddy out.
And obviously, Dave apologized.
So we were able to bail out and actually make it to the SEMA show.
Their son came up and I'm like, this was a shit night.
What a shit night.
We've got to before we get to some standard questions,
for some reason, we've got a box in here that we're supposed to open.
Do we? Yeah.
I don't know what this is about.
It just is moving to a severed head.
Is it a severed head?
This is a small head.
That's a very small box world.
Somebody sends the contract.
This is this was put in here by Elia.
This is put in our by our.
Did Elia get us a gift?
I don't know. It's just I'm just doing that's a cool knife,
because you can tell you I do want to say really quick
before you open travel for a while before you open that.
I started carrying knives after listening to this box.
Did you really?
100 percent.
Well, I don't have one on it now.
You're a grown man now.
I know, right?
Uh,
World's strong. Oh, fuck.
This is stupid.
Why do you want to do that?
World's strong. I smell like salts.
This is not a good idea.
What is that?
Smelling salts.
Oh, why the hell would I want that?
I don't know. It might wake you up.
Did you did you did somebody think we were going to fall asleep?
Actually ridiculous is what it says.
It says on the bag, actually ridiculous.
Yeah, right. Look at that.
Hey, is there a I have experience with those?
You have experience. Well, not that.
Yeah, so most sophisticated formula.
Kyle's bachelor party hanging out with a bunch of dudes that are in their 20s.
Yeah, they all show up with smelling salts.
Is this the thing? It's a thing to do.
Really? I've never even heard of it.
Me neither. It's like I've never heard of it.
Yeah, I know people.
I don't know. I mean, if it was like, what do you do?
Just sniff it. Yeah.
And then you go like, do not stick it under other people's noses.
You punch drywall.
Do not sniff monster energy, smash a hole in the drywall.
Do use immediately before intense workout.
Oh, let's give me some of that.
Yeah, you're going to work out right now.
Dude, have you seen the guy?
Have you seen the Instagram page?
Right. The old dude.
Is he ripped?
No, he's like weird looking, and he's got like knee braces and arm break.
He's got to be like 60.
It's my neighbor.
He turned the cranks like mega death and every time smelling salt.
Oh, I see. I've seen that.
He was like, yeah, he's like an old biker, dude.
He just starts lifting crazy weights.
Josh, you never open the leg before you literally just put your nose in
and took a big old whiff.
I've never opened it.
The package smells bad and it's not even open yet.
Take a sniff of that.
I don't think this is real.
Yeah, it's very it feels very, very unique.
It's it's like stings.
The nostrils like bleach.
So it smells like bleach.
Really? Yeah.
You know, I always get prepared horseradish for my cocktail sauce
when I get like seafood and shit.
And like like last night at Gibson's, man,
dude, I put myself in there.
Let me smell that light.
Let you out. I loved it.
I love what's the.
But I'm not sure about this.
I'm going to probably take a small sniff.
What's the what's the directions?
I think you crack them.
It does smell like bleach.
What's the instructions on the back?
It's like a second.
Do immediately before intense exertion.
Immediately a closed bottle after each use.
Like you just open the bottle and sniff it.
I just opened it.
It's so bad.
Warm. There's not a warm to room temperature
before you store upright in a cool place.
Get it closer.
Well, there's got to be like individual.
Are you pumped now?
I don't think you know.
Are you pumped?
I can't even.
Are you pumped?
It's open the bag.
Open the bag.
Oh, it's just full blown salt in there.
They just put a little little.
Yeah.
Look at Dave. I like this.
Look, he's ready to rock.
Just my smell in the bag.
We get a snack.
Maybe holding the apple.
We'll say take a sniff.
Been hanging out with Bob Johnson.
Try it.
You should keep the cap closer than that.
Oh, fuck.
That's why everyone's jazz now.
Look, if you ain't got some, get some.
When you once you get it, what is that?
So like if you're like a pool house, it's ammonia.
But don't go too deep.
Don't go too deep.
Just go light.
Holy shit.
I just cleared all my sinuses out.
Yeah, it's kind of nice.
I tried it.
Hey, I'm ready.
I'm on now.
Let's hit the gym.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, it's not bad.
Hey, who sent that here for us?
So earlier.
So what's the idea behind that?
So what do you do with it?
You just you just sniff that instead of like a cup of coffee.
You just like.
This was the amount of instructions that I got.
This was sitting in the thing open on air with in studio guest
from Elia.
Oh, that's the amount.
Thank you.
Mission accomplished.
Holy shit.
Sprinkle that throughout his office.
Holy shit.
It's fucking potent.
Yeah.
That's how it gets you going.
It's a formidable scent.
I'll go bench 280 right now.
Let's get this.
Let's get.
We're ready to hit the gym.
That's what it says on the back.
Like it shows a dude with weights.
It hits you.
It says do not sift and do not sniff.
Lightly waft.
All we did was fucking sniff.
Hey, car guys aren't the best at finding instructions.
My eyes are bleeding.
Fuck.
All right.
So it's been made fucking Dave's hair stand up.
Again.
Shit.
You want to hit this?
Come on.
Come on, baby.
You need a little upper.
What's the intended use?
I don't know.
I've never seen this before.
Do not warm to room temperature before use store.
All right.
We're in room temperature room temperature.
I think it says warm to room temperature.
Is that right?
Or do not.
What's your friend?
You can read.
You can read better?
No.
It says warm to room temperature.
Not where to.
Yeah.
What?
Fuck.
I'm a little.
Dude, it's got a little bit of that cocktail sauce kind of vibe though where it's like
you don't want to go back.
Yeah.
You want another sniff, Dave?
I wonder how that would be on a sandwich just out there.
No, I'm good.
But you could really fuck with your friends though, right?
I kind of a Porsche guy, as you can tell by looking around here.
Then you'll probably talk to Bruce Canapa in the next short while.
But I love Porsches.
I've been driving a Porsche for 63 years.
But the hot rodding is something I think if you want to have the most fun on four wheels
it's a hot rod.
And we just drove the proofer car to Lake Havasu two weeks ago to the Deuce meet.
So, you know, I just love the drive.
I've driven to, you know, just pointing in.
And I don't think there's any more fun way to get to a place that isn't enough.
Did you have, when you started getting into it and you realized like it's time, you know,
I've got to scratch this itch that I didn't get to do when I was, you know, in my childhood.
Did you have a list in your head that you were going to run through of ones that you,
or did that come later when you started getting some vehicles and you're trying to, you know
what, where did that thing go?
I'd like to get that.
Did you have that list already when you get started or did it kind of grow along the way?
And that's a really good question.
I absolutely did not have that list.
But the more I got involved in hot rodding, the more I realized how important it is to
everything that I love.
And so then I went through old hot rod magazines.
I saw the Pearson Brothers Coupe because like you it resonated.
It's unique.
And Bob Bouter, I was talking to him.
He said, we know that car is still running with the dry legs.
So he went out to El Mirage.
Tom Bryant was still running the car.
And what's interesting about Bonneville, and I've done a fair amount of that myself,
is that if something runs straight and good, you just keep it like it is and you just keep adding more power.
And you go out to Bonneville Speed Week.
There are cars that have been running out there for 40 years.
You know, once you get it right, you just kind of forget the recipe.
Yeah.
So Bob Bouter said, I know where that car is.
And so my son and I went out to El Mirage and it was a really clapped out thing.
You know, the salt has a way of eating its own.
It doesn't do too well.
So anyways, we bought the car and we brought it back up to Bouter's and Bouter just thought
that that wasn't going to work.
There's no hope for that car.
And across the street was a guy named Pete Chipporus who just kind of retired, lived up in Crestline.
So we invited Pete over and said, Pete, I think we can save this car.
Now, I really wanted to save it because I just paid good money for it.
Right, sure.
And so Pete, when he first got back, they sold Pete and Jake's and he was involved with SEMA.
Pete Chipporus is just one of the coolest guys that I've ever met.
But he decided he kind of wanted to get back into building cars and playing with cars.
So he took this project on.
The good thing about, one of the good things about Pete Chipporus, he knows everybody.
Pete Eastwood, great chassis guy, you've probably heard of him.
Steve Davis restored the Greer Black Prado Enquire.
Maybe one of the greatest metal workers, Ron Covel, Steve Davis ever.
And so he had the connections because I didn't know those guys.
And so he brought all those guys together to restore the Beerson Brothers Scoop.
And that car is 100% original, original chassis.
One of the things that are important to me is that the car is really what it is.
What makes up a car?
Is it the body, the chassis, the engine, the guy that built it, building a clone?
No, for me, it has to start with a chassis.
I think that's the most important thing to the originality.
But that's not what you wanted to hear because you guys build super chassis.
But it's very important.
It definitely starts with the chassis, right?
That's the foundation.
I think it does.
Visit RoadsterShop.com.
We can put a RoadsterShop chassis.
No, we're not on that car.
We're all about sales, but we're not doing it on that one.
You talked about how important it is, like you said, to keep it original.
What is true to the car?
Not to make it a clone, not to make it inspired by or anything.
On this one, one, it was that nice back then.
That's how nice it was.
And how did you go about finding out what the level of quality is?
Because in pictures, you can't really see how slick one is.
Sometimes it's even hard on colors to really match the color.
Can't tell if everything's chromed.
So there's a lot of digging there.
You know, there's a lot of digging.
And there's a fellow named Greg Sharp, who's a historian.
When I met him, he was a Los Angeles policeman, but he had great archives.
And so when we started restoring that car,
Greg Sharp just came up with unbelievable pictures.
That car was also a cutaway in the early hot rod.
When it ran in 1950, they had a cutaway.
So Brian Burnett's father did a cutaway of that car.
So when we started gathering all the information,
we found out that there was a cutaway of the car, great photos, interior.
It was featured in Hot Rod Magazine.
We had all those archives available to us.
So we had a lot to work with, and we wanted to make it absolutely accurate.
As to did it look that cool when it was new, absolutely it did.
And I've got another photo for your B-roll.
It shows a whole field of cars running El Mirage.
And this thing looks like a sparkling gym out.
It just was gorgeous.
And when we unveiled the car in my garage, Dan Gurney was there.
And Dan Gurney, I've got a picture of him on the wall, more B-roll,
going out to Bonneville in 1950, the same year that that car went.
And you look at Dan's car, it was like, you know, sat and finished.
It was nothing very shiny.
Yeah, yeah, you know, kind of.
And so he was saying, we saw this car, we thought it was from another planet.
It was that nice.
And you'll see in the pictures, in period, these guys chromed everything,
just had everything so tidy.
So the answer is yes, it really was.
It's mind blowing to me.
Did you always own this property?
Did you look out and score it?
I bought this property from a tech company here when they went public
and moved that building and then redid it.
And then since then, I bought the property on that side and the property,
all that property and this property.
This we opened in August.
Every car is prepped to the 10s.
Every car, every car we sell, I'm a perfection.
It's got to be nice.
But then every car is serviced, every car is road tested.
I drive every car last before it gets delivered.
Every car is detailed, like we're going to Pebble Beach Concourse, the bottoms.
There's a rack over there in detail.
They just spent a week on the bottom of one car,
hand cleaning it with kerosene and solvent and soap and water.
We don't dry splast them.
We do them that way.
So every car looks like brandy.
You look under a car and it looks like a brand new car.
Recognize that Corvette?
Yeah.
Yeah, look at that.
A little blast from the past.
We built that thing years ago.
He's a nice guy.
I've never met him in person, but...
Yeah, Mark.
Mark, yeah.
We have somebody on the car right now, an attorney in Scottsdale who's a character.
I think he's going to buy it.
Like I said, this looks like James Bond should walk out of this.
I just like the looks of it.
It's just, you know, it came out nice.
It's just not overdone.
That was the first thing that ever got at LT4.
Was it?
Like the first LT4 put...
It was quite a challenge at the time.
Now it's a piece of cake.
And I like that you didn't modify the body.
Yeah, the body's awesome.
Yeah, no flares or nothing.
It's a really good look.
It's such a good look in cars.
They are.
Yeah, we get two more we're doing though.
Do you?
Another guy that wants it to look just like this.
This is the only one ever done in 70s grabber orange.
The only one.
I like it.
I think it looks good in orange.
Yeah, I think you've got to start with the new one.
You can't start with the old bottles.
I like to drive it.
These new ones, I got miles on mine.
It's a nice car to drive.
Mine's all custom.
I did it with multi-matic all custom.
So mine's a green that I made the color green and sent it to them.
And then inside, instead of having the poultry like that,
I had all the seat inserts done in Alcantair in this pattern right here.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
So it's all stitched with that pattern.
Because that doesn't go with anything that tuck and roll in there.
I don't know what they were doing.
You driven that Bronco?
Just down the street.
I bought it.
I don't even know why I bought it except I'm friends with all those guys.
And I had them send it to me just in their white gel coat.
You know, I said, we'll paint it.
So that's portion NATO wall of green.
Multi-matic made those, right?
Yeah, 50 of them.
Yeah.
They started with the four door frame and that's about all it's Bronco on.
It's a V8.
But yeah, that's a Porsche color.
And I did the hood black.
So that way it tied all this together.
Yeah, that's cool.
Yeah, it worked out because the grill's black.
And I just, yeah.
Yeah, I have no idea what to do with this.
Not a clue.
I think they're overdone in terms of all the shit they did to them.
I like less.
They're beautiful.
They're well done.
They don't drive and handle as good as they could.
Because these guys are more artistic and not the mechanical side.
So they have less torque than they should have.
And they just, it's just, it's a cool car.
It's just, you know, I'm just so spoiled with stuff that does so many other things.
It's like, I took this car in trade and it's a beautiful car.
It's a Kirkham.
It had the bright silver exhaust.
It had the polished wheels with the white centers.
It had white stripes.
They said, fix this car.
It never even got off the trailer and got cold before it was headed to the bar.
I leaned the windshield back four degrees because they stand them up too much.
Amazing.
Even this car, we made the color for this car.
I went to McLaren when I ordered this and they had terrible colors.
They look like bass boat colors, all their colors.
They do.
They look like a bass boat colors on their cars.
So I went over there and I said, this looks like shit.
I said, you guys need some sun out here because it was all overcast, right?
I said, this, this what's wrong with you guys.
You need sun.
You can't see colors.
So I went home and we made this color.
And then I've got this leather on in Italy, all new back leather and did that.
And then I painted the wheels, my color.
I said, don't worry about the wheels.
I'll just do a my color.
And then, you know, they had those discs on the wheels.
I took those off and machined the caps to fit.
Is this an hour car?
No, it's not actually.
And then see, this is carbon.
You ever seen carbon that small?
That's cool.
That's a small wing piece.
That's a small wing piece.
Really tailored looking.
And so when they, they had just got that carbon, hadn't done a car yet with it and said, we're
going to, we think we're going to do this.
I said, okay, we'll do my car with it, right?
So I didn't ask him what she was going to cost on the price sheet.
That carbon was 300,000 bucks.
I can't thank you enough for all the time.
It's been, it's been a really good time.
I run full speed on a beach cruiser into the front quarter panel of a cop car with a stolen
stop sign hammer and a bicycle.
Yes.
Early 20s, one of my best buds lived down in Hermosa Beach.
I spent a lot of time down in Hermosa Beach.
We got to kill that bottle if he's going to fucking autograph it.
He was, he was a mentor.
Me.
He was a names mark and he worked at picture car warehouse with me.
He was like, he was the brain mechanic.
Yeah.
When I was some dumb, dumb 20 year old.
And so he lived in Hermosa Beach and there was this error where I like to drink Jack Daniels.
It made me six foot five Brad Pitt.
I'm five foot nothing.
Six foot five Brad Pitt would be cool.
That's what it was cool.
I'll tell you how it happened.
So the middle of the week we would go down and I swear at this was a Tuesday or Wednesday
we go to Hermosa Beach and there's a place called the underground.
There's a bar.
We would close it out.
He had beach cruisers, bikes, go beach cruise.
Tuesday, like two o'clock closed the place down and this bar was on an alleyway.
You and Dickies at that point.
Uh, shorts.
Dickie short shorts.
All right.
You never.
Chucks or Vans.
Vans.
Okay.
I'm just trying to, I'm trying to get.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
So the first sign there's it was him and his girlfriend.
Just three of us in the middle of the week.
No reason to be shit faced on a Tuesday night at all.
Stupid.
So we closed the place down hammered Jack Daniels all night.
And I'm trying to undo the lock.
On our bikes.
To this stop sign.
I start wiggling it and the whole stop sign wiggles.
Oh, one.
And I go.
Yeah, let's see how.
Stop sign comes out of the receiver in the ground. Yeah, that's their problem
Awesome, dude. We're in the alleyway of this beautiful Hermosa or honey, honey, Hermosa
beautiful Hermosa Avenue
Get on the beach cruiser and I got this 12 foot 12 foot tall stop sign. Yeah, you should have locked it down better
That's what that's their fault. Straight up. No, it's not like I should have anchored it. I didn't cut bolts
I lifted it. Yeah, okay, so I decided we're gonna take this home
So I got it on the beach cruiser. Okay, and it's a lower. He's a custom Beach cruiser like not the tall boy lower
This is white white D-Bow
Hard enough to drive sober like your heels hit the ground as you pedal so
Stop sign a couple 15 feet. I get my man. I fall over
Blank-blank-blank-blank-blank-blank-blank-blank-blank and these guys like get back up laughing just dying
bang-blank-blank-blank-blank-blank and
Mark and his shaker like he's just stupid. We're like out of here. So they're up ahead. They're up the street
So they live down the solid way
You got to go up the street because Hermosa is on this hill, right? And then that's the worst part about bicycles
Yeah
They invented motorcycles
But I've fallen three or four times in silence at the beach and so somebody called the cops at some point and heard this
Okay, I couldn't believe it
Silence
12-foot stop sign under my arm holding it on the handlebars and I'm pedaling well somebody called the cops and
My friends are at this point blocks ahead of me and like we want nothing to do with this idiot
Cops had pulled them over. I I didn't know this. I'm still finally got my balance, right? I'm going
So they were asking them about a dude with a bike with a stop sign. First of all, they got stopped first
They go we got we heard word
Let them go whatever
So I'm pedaling I'm pedaling I'm about 100 yards from the intersection where I just got to get speed go up a half a block and over
There's the intersection is two o'clock nobody's out doing this and then there's some headlights coming like dude
They're gonna see me. I have a stop sign
I get in the middle of the intersection car stops
It's the cop car and I can't stop
I I joust and I run into this
Swear to god my best story. I run full speed on a beach cruiser into the front quarter panel
Of a cop car with a stolen stop sign hammer and a bicycle. Yes
Boom
Den it follow pretty good
And I'm like and I've gotten away with a lot of shit. How you grab that's grab the grab the neck
You grab the neck. I sat down like I'm going to jail tonight. What's that?
Is you have a motor it's it's not a motorized. You can't ride a bicycle hammered. That's a d. It's a r. ui
Riding while intoxicated. Are you serious? Yep 100%
In California or in nationwide anywhere anywhere. No shit anywhere
But at that point on top of that stealing a stop sign is a federal offense. Yeah, that's a problem
And then I hit a cop car. Okay, but the cop but the cop pulled out in front of you. Yeah, you should have been in the intersection
He didn't yield
How to grab that neck how to grab that neck you clearly didn't obey the stop sign
Yeah, hit him follow over
Gets out of the car you got to be the dumbest motherfucker. I have ever seen I go or the drunkest sir
I go yes, sir. My hands are in the air like I'm armed like I don't know like 22
Hands in the air. You haven't met many people then
Yeah
Rice he goes give me your license. I hand it to him. He goes are you part of those those guys up there?
Like no, no, no, I don't know. I don't know. He's like, where did you find that stop sign?
I go I
I just found flea market. I just found it and so I'm sitting there like on the curb and I'm a hundred percent
I
Am going to jail tonight and I deserve it. There was no fight. There was no like I don't get it
Did I go yeah, I gave in and I'm sitting there and he's running my shit and I
eight 95 we got a code fuck
Just listening he goes
Where are you staying? I go right up there
He throws me by a d goes go home and peels out and goes on to a call. Oh
No joke. I'm sitting LA or Colorado Hermosa beach. Oh, yeah at that point you had a decision to make
You know my decision. Yeah
I walked at home. I walked the bike so I wasn't riding under the influence and I walked I walked up into the apartment
With this bike sign. Fuck the bike and there's fucking shit. They go we got pulled over
They suspected that we still a stop sign because there was a call coming in
Anyway, because you know at that point like that is my best. Your your math is going through your head. Like, yep
I mean, what are the odds? Yeah, I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna get
Again, I can see the house from here. Why would I know? Why would I give up at this point? I'm not a quitter. Yeah
Yeah, so we took that good stuff. So that was week one
We're first of all, it was a life changing lesson out of that. No, I want to I want to know where the sign's at
That's a huge one. They ditched it. They were so scared that they were the cops come back and ditch it
Man, that sucks because that's that sign's got a story
If I would have only known now
What I knew that that stop sign itself people would have come in the shop like, oh cool. You got a stop sign
like
Yeah, look at the back. I've written. I've written in sharpie exactly
Johnny cash's ragged old flag. So yes
Definitely a lot of like
reaction to things as they were happening. There was also, I mean, you know
so much of it is
Being at the right place at the right time, right?
So like a few things that happened for us during the launch of the the brand that was, you know, very unique was
one the
You know the introduction of youtube
Right as this video place that and this is before modern youtube, right?
Like modern youtube is all about the creator. This was viral youtube
Like can you make something that'll do 10 million plus views like that all the people we were talking to in year one
No one else was automotive
But everybody else, you know in sort of that same space we were in we're doing these massive 10 20 30 40 million
View videos like that's what you went to youtube for was to try to get virility out of it
And then we were there when you know, we launched kent racing team was the same year that
Facebook opened up pages for brands because before that facebook was just a you know, it was
Originally it was a college peer-to-peer thing and then became kind of more like a friendster version of that
And it was and then all of a sudden they allowed brands on and we were there early as you know
The ken block brand and then later on the hoonigan brand and then a year after hoonigan launched
Instagram started and we were there we were there so early
That most people still thought instagram was just a filter app called hips dramatic
Like people didn't understand the difference early on like it was still felt like filters, right?
and people didn't realize it was its own platform and we were there early on and
You know and then you know, we were we were always trying to be there early on
I think that's what our sort of our goal was and
You know and then when youtube shifted we weren't there. There was a lot of people there before us, you know
Roadkill mighty karma and a bunch of people were doing it, but we kind of came in with a brutality of like, oh, you guys are doing that once a week
That's cute. We're gonna do this every day
You know what we're gonna do it twice a day and at some point you're putting you know one point
We're putting out 14 pieces of content a week, which I now apologize to everybody else on youtube because we certainly raised the bar
But people were expecting to create
But it was this idea of like, oh, we're a year or two late to the youtube space
You know drive had already done their thing network a
We were helping with the network a stuff and a lot of the drive guys were all
Old zero to 60 guys are connected to zero to 60
but
You know, we went in and we kind of you know, just I think it was it was about yeah
A sequence of things but it was also like every time we got into something we gave it our all
And we're like really like okay. Let's take this really seriously
Like let's really really go after this right like everyone else was looking at instagram is this thing they had to do
Like oh, we got to make sure we do this where we're having three hour meetings about what we're posting
Right, like like when we when we decided we were gonna do it. It was very kind of surgical on on what we were doing and
You know, I think one of the things that's often wasn't seen from the outside looking in
Was that we were very data driven is to like what's working? What's not working?
Where because if you watch him again, you're like, how did these fucking idiots figure out how to do this stuff?
Right, but that was very much the perception versus the reality model right of like, you know
There was a lot of hard work kind of put into it. I know everyone thinks all we did was do donuts in the parking lot
Donuts were unfortunately kind of only when the cameras were on
The rest of it was was figuring out what was working and you know, and how do we keep doing it, right?
I was talking to Vinny the other day
And he's talking about, you know, just being sour about everything with Hoonigan
And I was like, you know, I was like, it's funny. Sometimes I was like, I was like you you seem, you know, like it's an issue for you
More so than the rest of us. He's like it was such a good moment in our lives when it was when it was perfect
Like when the when it was all just working. He's like, I really just wish I could go back to that
Everybody was so good in this one moment, you know
Anything great that seems to like be the way it goes. Life is not about
30 years of perfect moments
It's no, I know it's looking back on the perfect moments that you've had and hoping you have a few more
Someone said this to me the other day success is not linear and uh, you know, I think happiness isn't linear either
You kind of have these different moments and you know, I when I was doing
Hoonigan, I spent most of the time regretting that I didn't enjoy zero 60 more because I was zero 60 for me very
You know, I I I failed out of college like I didn't all my other friends were way more successful
All my other friends went to college. None of the kids that grew up went to college
But all of my friends who I went to school with
um
You know
Had these jobs out of school and we're doing well and like, you know, we're living in apartments by themselves
And I'm like still got like multiple roommates. Like nothing was felt like it was really working out for me
And so when like zero to 60 actually hit it was this like, you know
A mix of imposter syndrome and everything else hit and I was like, I will
I will work an 18 hour day every day to make sure that this thing matters
Right and I will put if if everyone else got the is is smarter than me or
Got a step ahead of me or did all these other things. I will make up for it in time
Right, like I will just put the time in as much time as I possibly can
and
In doing so while
Um, some of it I think came across. I think I kind of stopped enjoying it
You know, like I like I look back now at some of the stuff I got to do and I'm like, how was I?
It was so cool that I got to do that and
It was like on and over and then I was on to the next thing and I was you know, I was probably worried
I was probably while I was doing it. I was probably worried about the thing
I had to do five days from them instead of just being present in that moment and and who think it was a lot of that too
You know, and I think now I'm trying to be like, all right
I need to be like really enjoying the thing I'm doing today because I have this
Great history of you know, two decades worth of stuff. I've done in park culture and look there were moments that were
Amazing because a lot of other moments. I was like, man, I wish I just stopped to smell the roses a little bit longer while I was there
That's the best piece of advice
It's crazy the way that works when you
Like have success
You reach a point where you look back and it is you look at all those events
Like even in my career, I look back at all that stuff and you're like, holy fuck
Dude, the things we've we were there. Dude, we did that we did that
But in the moment it was like pinch yourself in the moment
Yeah, in the moment you were thrashing to get there
And you were probably nervous as fuck that whatever you built needed to perform or you were so focused on that
That being a success for your business and your future. You never you didn't stop and like
Enjoy it and then halfway through when it does perform. You're thinking about how the fuck we're gonna top this
Yeah, you're thinking about the next thing. I gotta keep fucking rolling
People are gonna expect this the day is not over yet at least fucking enjoy it and then think about that tomorrow
It's almost like the double edged like you wouldn't have gotten there if you didn't have the passion for it
But then you can't appreciate
everything that your passion got you because you're worried about
Staying at that level and building the next one. Yeah
You had quite the uh quite the little the spill there and all seriousness all seriousness that was uh
Pretty scary fucking call
Yeah, I was uh got lucky. That's for sure. I mean about 12 feet landed on my hands and knees and uh
Could have bust I didn't hurt my back or my neck or I I don't think I hit my head. I might have but uh
Nobody can tell dbd
No, it was it was scan pretty bad as yeah as bad as the uh
The knee injury is more so than even the wrist. It it's that could have been a hell of a lot worse. So
On the bright side, it could have been an employee that filed an important client on you
So, well, I did use all my deductible up on the way to the ground
Yeah, so
Unfortunately as the business owner you're just straight fucked. Oh, yeah
You get to pay pay and pay. You're on your own. Yeah. Oh, yeah ambulance rides. All right. Oh, yeah
I was like six grand. We went about five miles. Yeah. Oh, yeah
They should tell you that beforehand and give you the the option
You'd look okay, dude
Like if we can take you quick, but it's going to be 5,500 bucks or you can get your what? Yeah
I mean, they don't exactly position it like it's an option
I've only had one in my life and it was like I could have totally driven
But they don't give you like hey, dude. This is going to cost a small fortune
You look like you can still kind of handle yourself. I've never had an ambulance ride. Never
You do
You're probably your age
All that smoking, dude, it's gonna at this age if it's an ambulance ride. It's gonna be the last ride
It's just a morgue. Yeah, I'm just smoking an e-cap on a bat. Yeah, there you go. Yeah
No, you say six grand. I'll get up. Somebody pick me up. I'll walk. Yeah, I tell you and uh two things though that really uh
You know having the guys like Adam and you know Lawrence and moose and I've got
You know five of them been there at least 20 years the one thing I absolutely didn't worry about was the shop
And Adam Adam had to absorb the brunt of everything but everybody stepped up
But when you have guys, you know, it is and it's a small group anyway, and you have there that long
It was that's good. That wasn't a problem and just uh being at home
You know, I'm not much of a sit at home guy zero. So that was a little tough, but uh, you really find out how good your wife is
I'll tell you that she saved my ass
So literally she didn't wipe she wiped my ass save my ass
Yeah, the shit she did it was I mean, I'm telling you crazy
slept in the recliner for eight weeks
Oh
Because you can't you know, couldn't hardly get in bed. You couldn't roll over. You couldn't bend your leg
You couldn't I tried to sleep in it. We got one of them beds at both bends and all that shit
You couldn't get comfortable felt like you're trapped. So it was uh
Yeah, it was uh
You take it for granted. I'll tell you that
Now I'm in a walker where I get his legs locked stiff and I can't use this wrist some
I got a this elbow pad skin across the uh, that sounds. Oh, yeah, it was awesome
I got all and I got all the handicap equipment home. I got that thing that sits over the toilet
Walkers shower stools when it's way across
You take it for granted, but it sounds like you're describing basically uh, Mike ring fucking blocking a car
I mean that's exactly what you're talking about. He goes, he sits on the can with a little assistant to it
You got it. Yeah, it was uh, yeah, it was uh something but now it's getting better every day
So it is what it is back to 10 or 12 hours a day. So for all you listeners, so you're sure he's human
Absolutely human not robot. That was the first time he showed
Human blood in there
But it's it's better standing up than is even riding in a truck man. So that's the good that good thing of it
So how's the wrist though? I mean, it's it's pretty good. We're just starting to do
Strength training stuff. So I probably overdue it at the shop
But it it gets more way more sore than my name. I need this won't bend, but it's uh, were you right handed? Yeah
That's okay. Because I mean there's a lot you're yeah, you think about it
But like we started with hand there finger therapy like right away. So
For five weeks I did all this finger jazz and um, and believe it or not that was painful because everything's
swollen up through the back and all your
Tendons and shit running there. It was that was tough, but I mean I can
Move them good like anything you do at the shop. It's funny like three inch grinding or running the lay
They're welding it you can it just automatically adapt like incoherently already, you know, and I can tug on it pretty good
I mean, it's healed that way
But the it you pull on a little bit it gets a little it gets sore quick
But it tried to get them to go bowling with me last week in Nebraska
Why'd my left leg?
Yeah
Troy's saying he can tug on it pretty good. I know
Adam and you'd known you'd have to hear about the injury this much would you have still pushed him off the paint booth?
No, it wasn't worth it. If I could go back in time. I wouldn't have pushed him
Listen, I'm gonna tell you right now though
I'm maybe we can add a clip in here because my push-up performance last night was pretty good though
What do you mean?
For you it was okay. What do you mean pretty good?
Shay, you were a physical specimen and I did 19 push-ups against you
It was it doesn't matter what lap time you run if you fucking don't win
No, I'm just saying I get a participation revenue. No, they don't give participation trophies. That's pretty good showing
There's a lot better in triple ground
And I didn't hurt anybody
Well, yeah, yeah triple you didn't take out any girls. That's pretty good
Right. I noticed eating was not trying to help me up though. No. Yeah, she was in the distance, dude
I counted her shoulder seven and a half clean push-ups. What's that? I counted seven and a half clean push-ups
Did anybody video it and document it?
I I have some video evidence
So we could count in there exactly how many you did. Do you have evidence of me tossing him around? No, no, no
But you definitely tossed him around. I saw her. Okay. Good. Yeah. I still got 20 20 visions. Yeah. I saw it. Yeah
I saw it. You tossed him. You do have to appreciate the optimism though. Oh, you do. Yeah, it's like the little engine that never can
That's right. He's like, I think I can I think I can
No, the engine that little engine that could right? Yeah, I got it. You're never can you said. Yeah, it's a little engine that never can
Whatever
I just want you to know though after this weekend. I'm going on a strict training regimen for triple crown
I have the whole entire summer
To train
No, I'm announcing it right now. I'm announcing it. I'm announcing right now. I'm gonna beat josh and push-ups triple crown
Really? What are we wagering?
100 bucks
Okay, what are we but what are you betting 100 bucks? Huh? 100 bucks 100 bucks
100 bucks you do one more push-up than josh. No, we gotta be a little more than that. I've already beat you twice
You gotta I'm not doing it again for free. Yeah. Well, that's why I said 100 bucks. What do you want to do?
You got to make it fucking worthwhile
I don't mean you got you got a whole time to train. Don't look at me Mikey. You got a whole you got a whole what three months of train
Yeah
That's not very long
It's not very long. What do you guys think is an appropriate wager?
All right 100 bucks. You do one more push-up than josh that triple crown
One okay, I think you got off the ante. Yeah thousand bucks. It's got to be a grand grand. Yeah
I mean a hundred bucks. What like yeah. Yeah, actually. Yeah. No, it's gotta be a grand
A thousand bucks a thousand bucks. I mean it's gotta be something on the line here. You just you just have to beat me by one
Hey, it's right here
I'll tell you what the funny part about this is you have no idea
This in your entire episode you're pixelated right now
But that moment that you shook my hand is just the split second that everybody saw your face
I know you're gonna tell your kids i'm gonna be on there and I know they're gonna be super disappointed
But everybody else is watching are going to laugh because they don't see your face
Oh, there's Mikey
But that second you shook my hand. Yeah, we'll show you
Okay, so we're doing this for legality reasons triple crown is that that is uh weekend after labor day
No, is it triple crown or columbus triple crown? Oh triple crown. All right, so we're doing it a triple crown. Yeah push-ups
I think it should be live. I think it should be live. I think we should open up the comments
Like you got six months or maybe some wages. I got six months
What do we do? I think I think what we need to do
Is take this a little bigger and I know we can get bobby in on this. Okay
It needs to be done up on stage. Oh, wow up on stage
You up for it josh
On stage on stage a triple crown. You know, you probably get the crowd debate
Huh, we get the crowd debate. Hey, and money you go to the garrison. He's foundation and we could raise money
We could raise money for garrison. He's oh, I see a nice
If it's gonna raise money for charity, okay
It does seem a little self-serving
Trying me to get up there and destroy you on a fucking stage. I'm gonna have him brother
I'm gonna put up a fight. I'm gonna put up a fight. I promise
So we're gonna do it on the stage. Yeah
So however, how long does it take you to do like 19 push-ups?
Time-wise yeah like to do 19 push-ups. I I don't know, you know, so so we're figuring that's the window
So, you know that what's that rocky quote Mikey's gonna come up with
Okay
No, we're doing push-ups to work done. I just gotta do one harder. Yeah, that's the best
So if you can do 19, right, maybe you can get to 21
I don't know if rocky. How many can you do anything?
50
Dude, it's not about a number. Yes, it is if we go
Head to head eye to eye
I will always
No, I'll do one more than you don't wear you out. No, it doesn't matter about the number
Right, you're right. We might need a baseline. I wonder if we need a baseline now
So that everybody can see. Oh, so you want to see where I max out it?
Well, I don't I just think we might need to see a quick 35 a quick defeat of josh versus cousin Mikey
We did that last night. We did that last night. There's video footage. Okay, so we should just publish that
Here it was embarrassing. I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, my shirt was off. I'm not in the best physical your shirt was off
you know
I mean
But you had last year like the last year didn't I have not trained since then
I didn't know this was gonna happen. No, don't you're trying to call now. What's your training regimen gonna be? Oh training regimen? Um
Probably gonna eat like four raw eggs in the morning
Um, that'll do it. I don't like a lot of 12 ounce curls
Watch rocky a lot probably there. No, there's no there's a great. Um, probably gonna watch a lot of
Slice the loan movies because he's the baddest of all time
How is this like you think about moving to russia train for a month?
Move to russia train for a month. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think right there
Yeah, I mean they want it
You want it? You got any in you tonight
Some push-ups. Yeah, I mean, I bet you could do 21 tonight. How do you do do you have wooden balls?
Jesus
So we're gonna we're gonna establish a baseline
live right now
And then then you'll know what you've got to get to and then everybody else will know
If you've gained any progress
You can do 20 tonight, right? No, you can't do you can't do 19 last night. No, I don't 20 tonight
I'll try when you when you gave up 19 just do what's the number. I can't do it
Hang on happen six months of training
All right, you do 35 for I don't care what it is tonight tonight doesn't matter you can do 20 right now
I might get close. Let's see it. Let's go
Well, are you what are you doing? Are you doing a tour? What are we doing? Yeah, it's eye to eye again
That's the only way we do push-ups from here on out
What are we I mean, we're doing this one. Yeah, absolutely. Where are we doing this at right here? We got all the space in the world
They're getting the camera
Yeah, I think it's a great idea. I think it's fun. I mean, I think it's I mean, I think it's an okay idea
No, I think it's a really good idea. Yeah, right here. All right. All right. I guess I guess I'm okay with whatever we do
As long as I guess we'll be back after these messages. We'll just go to the bar
Keep you keep the shirt on tonight. You keep your shirt on
The tucked in tea
That's like it. I think that's gonna psych you out. Yeah, that's like Van Dam shit
Hey, that's a good fucking call right there
Hey, Justin's yeah
Should we get some might are we gonna count them out?
Yeah, I get them rolling. Look at that. I get an icon kiss. One two three
Four and like he's been
Six. Hey, Mikey's looking good. Mikey's actually
Mikey's fading
I stopped counting somebody
I lost interest like 15 ago. Mikey's fading though. Yeah
It's like 25 right now. No, he hasn't he hasn't broke 20. I think josh might be losing the circulation from those tight jeans
It's possible josh is showing. Oh, you just gave up
You just gave up
Yeah, get on his back, dude
That was how many you get I was like
How many you get there's that three and oh now for josh 15
It was 15
You beat 20. Yeah, nobody was counting. I think that was 24 25 for josh. Yeah, I think it was so
So it was a personal best. Yeah, that's the most you've ever done
He's repping. Yeah, three different jobs
See, all right, so look at what training will do. Are we gonna put this together for triple crown and raise some money?
I think so. I think we should do
I'll kick in. What are we doing? I'll kick in for sure. If we're gonna do this for charity
I'm betting on josh. I'll kick in on this on josh. Okay. Yep on this. All right. Shit
I was planning on quitting working out. That's right. I want to see you. I don't think you need to work out much
I need to work out a lot. I want to see the training montage videos there. Yeah, that's not a bad idea
Can we send chris over to uh, michigan? Yeah, ellie, do you think would you be interested in going down to do some training montage videos?
All right, still own or burt reynolds and why
How long let me see how long your arm let me see how long your arm is. All right, cool
That's pretty badass, but uh still own. I think I always feel like still own was fake
You know what I mean? Like he always had he always put that on well. He was an actor, right?
And he's sure burt reynolds was not yeah, but he was also badass in real life
Because he played football
All right before an actor in real life. Yes still undid the soft cork porn in real life. It was filmed
So still own why?
No, I'm not saying still own. Okay. I think I'm saying burt

That's a little i've got one question to end us out right and we're we're gonna keep doing this for the rest
There's a lot. There's a lot. There's all kinds but i've
Pretend just for a second. Yeah that these
Actors and these movies never existed right just pretend for a second. What do you mean?
So so still on and reynolds
They never existed none of these movies that they did existed
But we still do car show stuff. Just just follow with me. Okay, follow with me. Where you going with this?
Getting you in a mindset. So we still do car shows just like we do you're at a car show
and there is
The trans am from smoking the bandit. Yeah, and there is the
mercury
From cobra. Yeah, and you're walking through
Which one would you walk up and look at?
Or like well, let's see. We've got a bone fucking stock trans am
Off the factory floor. Okay, just some random anybody don't forget about the whip in 10 of them
Literally anybody could have bought that that would be the doesn't matter about that. It's not about creation today
That would be like think you're missing on both of them. That'd be like a v6. Who like oh dude. Look at that v6 camera of ho
Which was not fairly standard horsepower fairly standard equipment back then josh
I might have your back a little bit on this one first. You're like, oh, look at that dude that motherfucker chopped a 50
Fuck did he make it look good? But hold on every fucking merc. He just did bondo bucket
He did just fill all those scenes. No. No, I forget that the cars and then the movie doesn't exist
This is just a car that is sitting there. The movie doesn't exist. It hasn't made it cool
It's just that bad hood scoop and that everything else bad merc your car's not lowered
It's stock hide pretty much like if you watch the movie. It's fucking ready to jump something. That's a horrible car
It's not a great car. Yeah, okay. You got moon discs on it. You're right
You'd appreciate all original. He makes the car. Hold on. What year are we watching it?
I'll be looking at the cars. What year is this that we're looking at the car says it now last week
Okay, last week then I'd go to the fiber take
A rocky magnum pi ferrari versus
Hawking Sun's truck
Hey, you put it in the back. Hey, you would load it in the back and just
Fucking nobody would ever see it again
Like that was Tom Selleck. Holy shit. I fucked that up. That was Tom Selleck. I was wondering where which where you were going with that
I just went with it. That's how forgettable Bert Reynolds is
Same guy both have very guys
You're gonna in front of everybody that's listening and watching you're gonna
I'll go on the record and say that you're picking the mercury right now
You're picking the mercury that the movie's there to exist. No, you got a reputation. Right. No, I'm not picking the I'm picking the
Farm fresh fucking but I I put lamb the Lamborghini Jalpa in
We're talking about cars that Stallone drove. Sure. I think rocky three rocky three. He's fucking driving that it
That's a bad one. It wasn't a hero car
It doesn't he doesn't need a hero car. He doesn't need a car to make him. That's the thing
I think you've made my point. No, I'm making the point right now that car made Bert Reynolds
Take that fucking car. Oh, Bert Reynolds isn't shit. Oh, watch your tongue
He's still at like 117 years old. He was still hanging onto that car Stallone's still kicking dude
He's rocking out all kinds of when's the last time you've seen Stallone in Wranglers, dude
Tight-ass fucking butt hugger. He doesn't need to dude because he's evolving because he's in track suits
He's in track suits and fucking he's evolving his career
You know, he's not he's not getting taller. He might be evolving. He's not getting taller. He's on that. Were you Mike Herman?
It doesn't matter
What doesn't matter
That's a shit argument. No, the one question. I that's a bully. That's a bully
I separated everything else out and I just put it down to the cars and you're picking the trans am there
You don't have to regardless of anything else. It doesn't mean it doesn't mean that's Bert Winn
It doesn't mean that Bert wins. This is a fucking question for the guest. This is a question for the guest
Go ahead for the trans am
This is a question for the guest or is this fucking sweet you two arguing anybody anybody can answer
Yeah, the happy birthday poly robot wins in that argument, but that's not available. So
Stallone getting into the like what is that 89 Lamborghini gelpa?
Nobody knows what a gelpa is. We should we should y'all do y'all do y'all do you should fucking know what it is
I'll fucking check it out after Apollo Creed just got fucking killed right by Ivan Drago
Devastating god it is devastating. There's such a moment. He gets in there revs that fucker up
After his wife's like there's no fucking way you're going to fight this guy. Yeah, it's a great part of the movie
No easy way out on the radio
Dude, it's a great scene from the movie verse. I got a fucking antenna that goes like this
In the middle of my car that I bought it's a stock car that my antenna goes like this running from cops
That's the daddy. We go you go music
You can't just pick scene vert if you're going to pick scene we got to pick scene versus scene
But the question what that's fine
We're going to this is going to continue you're going to have some time to think about this is ongoing right now
The guest picked burt. So it's burt. It's one. It's burt one one to zero
Slide zero. Where's the fucking ticker? We need to we need to document that and the tree the ta the ta is one
To zero on the mark right now too because that's a thing. Okay
I'll say the tea has a tough one. Hold on. It's not one of you can argue that hold on. It's not is it one to zero
I wanted to see how hard he was gonna go. He said one of you two making the vote
No, it's yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. Well because he voted for the fucking ta as well
Yeah, the ta wins every that's a that's an it's an
But he's a rough car next episode. He fucking drives the shit out. Yeah next episode
He can craft a plausible reality around a Rambo something to a thing and
If you just piece first piece sometimes sometimes sly is going to win
Well, I just figured out what I'm but in that instance
In that in that instance then the trans am wins which goes to
Bert all I'm saying is that Stallone doesn't need the vehicle
Dude him and himself. He only needs a he only needs a fucking knife. He needs a toothpick
Dude, he needs a toothpick. No, because that's all it was in cobra in cobra
It was a fucking pair of aviators and a fucking tooth. All bernie. Was it realist gloves?
We're gonna end it
We're gonna end the episode on this statement right here
All Bert needed was a mustache because he proved that with several photo shoots of just him and his mustache
All right, so he didn't need anything else. We're gonna follow Stallone ever bear it. Yes. He did
Dude, he had a he was a soft. He was in porn. Yeah, dude. Yeah, that's not a win
He was doing that to make me. He wasn't doing that because he was he did it. He did it
Okay, but that's that doesn't go as a win call do it do it because he couldn't act
He didn't need that dude. He didn't need that
Like here's what I want the next next podcast. I want to see a side-by-side
Marion Cabretti character because we're going by character. Okay, we don't care about ours. That's fine
Characters versus characters the realities is that both the cars suck right? Okay
No, the character for character. I want you on the front of it. I want you to take
Stallone and cobra with the toothpick and the fucking aviators and the tough guy gloves
Next to just tough guy gloves are pretty key. Bert Reynolds with the mustache. Like, uh, here's the guy with the mustache
Well, hold on. He listed like three things. Bert Reynolds with it. What about his tight Wranglers, bro?
He can wear the Wranglers
If you're gonna bring if you're gonna bring Cabretti in with a leather jacket and a toothpick then I get Burt with snowman
Oh, you take Burt with whatever you want Burt with snowman beats everybody
Burt and a mustache and a hat and a cowboy hat and fucking tight wranglers and a red shirt
Put it up there. Dude frog. I mean come on. That's a nickname. There's a fucking nickname
Frogs. It wasn't his. What's I don't know who it was. I don't even lie
Yeah, that's his name, dude. No, it's not
Look at that other guy, you know what you're making me hate him
I feel like dude, I feel like I'm fucking treading water over here all by myself
Let's just get out of fucking somebody's fight. It feels funny. Jesus Christ
This is the let's put it let's put it out there. God. Sorry. We need to get
We're gonna this is gonna this is we're gonna take this to the end of the season. This is a hot tub
We gotta rank it. This is a hot take. Do you think this is universally?
Okay, go ahead soundtrack cars who had better songs. Yeah, I'd go body count. Wait, what are we talking about?
That's one category. He may have one
Look at his fucking wife, dude
He doesn't need a body count
It's gorgeous. Okay beautiful beautiful beautiful woman. We're talking fictional or real
So our real do forget that anybody's listening. You're gonna take one beautiful woman
Up against a bunch of beautiful women and somehow one wins
Dude, they're both celebrities
Wait, we're into real life. We're not just the fucking characters. No roadie. There's hundreds of celebrities. Isn't he divorced? Who fucking your guy?
Yeah, and then he bounced back
She's a hot ass wife, dude
Fuck I feel like I'm I feel like I'm losing but I'm not even I'm not giving up
Whose idea was this?
The next you gotta y'all talk about this
No, I think you need to go on a training montage and come back strong. You gotta come back. You gotta come back with some content
I'm going to Siberia
I'm gonna fucking just train fucking fight Vlad
Yeah, I'm gonna train in the you gotta get knocked down a little bit to come back
I've got notes. I've got notes. I'm ready. Okay. Yeah. I'll get sides of beef
I mean, that's at the tail end. They'll be at the tail end of my career. Okay, but
Rocky, what's the what's your favorite rocky? Hold on. You need to dress like that next podcast. I will
Oh, I could if I could look like Burt. Oh, yeah, I'm pretty you go to any trucks. Have you could find that?
I'll dress like Burt, but nobody can do it. It's Brad
You know when you're red all you can do is put that pushbroom on because you don't have a dick
You don't have a chiseled facial structure like that. You don't have a fucking jawline like a great god
Dude, like chiseled in fucking stone. I feel like this is going a little homoerotic
And here's the post that the shit we were talking about pre and post. Here's your only fans
homoerotic
This is the yeah, this is honestly, there's a portion of this that's like a build up because I know there's
some
Like far fetched thought that maybe Stallone is gonna like this is gonna
Catch his his eye or his ear. He's probably maybe I'd be like, you know what?
You know, hey, you know what car he wants to build? He wants to sure he'll love that part
He wants to build the ta. He wants to build a fire breaking
Or a fucking trans am I mean if something's gonna get him that that would be it. That's a pretty good impression
Okay, we'll we'll car. What do you want to build?
Dude, I don't know. I mean, I feel like we would do like a rest of mod kuntash, you know
No, that would be sick. That would do at his point in time. That's an ev
Oh, he's gonna be doing some type of silverado evie
If Bert if Bert, hey
If if the heavens would grace us and bring
Bert back he'd build another clone of the same goddamn car
Don't talk shit on a dead man, dude, come on. What far to build josh
Bert the same mother fucking car. You know it. Dude. You know it. You're right. He would fuck. You're right
I'm sorry about that question up. Take that scratch it fucking cut it. Yeah, but you're right
He would because that's his identity. You're right. Fuck. Don't switch me to the other side, dude
I'm not gonna be a flip flopper still and we all have wins and losses. There's been a lot. No, this is a win
This is a win. Josh. This is why it's such an interesting topic. It's a health topic. It's a healthy debate
There's a lot of yeah, because it's you know, it is a lot of give and take
I will I will say that I want to go back and do my research. I'll fucking
I'll text you guys. I'll call key back in it's more. It's more complex than what somebody would think on the surface
We were I was very surface, obviously. I'm not either of them. So there is no clear cut
It gets I mean obviously is a color cut for Bert
But if you want to get into the discussion, there's a lot of wins and losses on both sides
Sure, there's things that Bert did that I wasn't like
I will ask about when I saw the fucking murk jump and shit and smashing into shit
It was cool as shit, but you look back on it now that car's a piece. What else was burning?
Yeah, the car's side smoking the bandit. It was like the cannonball run. Yeah. Canter was an amazing movie
Hey, what movie was that where the coontosh fucking skipped across the lake?
It's cannonball run. Was it was the cannonball run speed zone six back
Hey, that's my fucking one of my favorite movies if you're gonna ask that question
My wife brought that up because I watched it all the time, dude
That reminds me of bb the kid with my Jonathan goalsby's number one favorite by far that fucking nothing even comes close
Uh
This is gonna be a good one because there's lots of stuff to bring out
Uh, I feel like it's about each thing like you old fuckers. Yeah
I don't know that fuck you phil that was the first one. That was once again
I wonder if it hits with
Everybody a minute like even without a rp cards. No dude. Come on phil
Yes, people you wear it. Well, I mean you I would have guessed you were like 38 to 40. Fuck you phil
I mean, thank you, phil
Honestly tough fucking call. That's not even it's not even close. I'm one of the rare like rock 5 the majority of the movie is not good
Oh, that's the end fight scene the street fight is one of the best
It's one of the best and a best quote. What was that again? I'm sorry. Tommy gun was a
Joke, yeah, Tommy gun was a bitch a joke the way he put him in fucking Tommy
What a traitor that you should have stopped it for I missed it. What would he's talking about? He wants to know rocky
But yeah rocky 5 is for like a true a true fan like if you can hang with
You gotta support
You know, you gotta support him for through the beginning of the movie. I'm not that deep. I don't know
I only know is I know the big fucking russian dude. I love
I guess that I was gonna end this but
Here we are
We're in Rambo yet. We're I know that's that's save that for the rest of the season. I keep that in my back
That's when you got that's pretty hard. I think that's like throw mama from the tree. That's like boost to pass
That's a boost to pass button. I think that the story
I think that the story don't hit the nos too soon, bro the story of
Sylvester Stallone's tenacity and him getting rocky picked up
He sold his dog. It was it took one hunt. Yeah, and you got him pretty pretty princess
I know, but I think that to hold on here. You have a pretty pretty princess dog. Yeah, I got I got I
Yeah, I raised show dogs
Yes, it is. What kind of dog uh French bulldogs. They're Frenchy. That's right. That's right. That's different
I thought we were talking like some fucking they're foreign fighting bulldogs. It's like it's a Frenchy pretty hardcore thing
Yeah
Yeah, they're from France. They're cute
Pretty badass. Hey, you guys are weird as fuck, you know that
A hundred times to sell this to sell the movie that's a lot that's how many times he pitched it
Yeah, he pitched rocky the story he pitched it 100 over 100 times and he kept on it. He got 100 nos
That's definitely fuck. It's a great story. It's a great story. This is a tenacity
I would I would be interested to know how many times that uh
Burt had to sell a movie not a one
I got asked in those fucking b rated movies. Did Burt right? Did Burt like the movie?
I would uh, if you weren't comparing yourself to fucking Stallone, you would think that those are great movies, dude
Don't hate on those fucking movies. You're just fighting. What was I I'd be curious to know how cannonball run performed in its heyday
I think a lot would you I'm no, honestly, this is a question. Oh, here we go. I mean, we've got the we've got the internet
And there's nobody listen in comparison in comparison to what your flight just in a couple hours away in general
I like was that was that a hit? Well boys another one or what since we're still paying mine as well
Yeah, it's a fucking roll brothers
We're gonna pay the dm. Yeah, we're doing a light one or are we doing a yeah, all right, right? Okay, so you hit me pretty hard
I did hit you. I apologize. Yeah, I would just do a light one
figure
All right
Achieved a moderate box office success grossing over 160 million worldwide
Became a classic despite receiving mostly negative reviews from critics. What year was this?
Is this total now 81 cannonball run? Why don't you just don't type?
Yeah, 100 million what number it is but type in
rocky gross revenue
Rocky best rocky movie gross revenue
Have you guys stopped filming and stopped recording fucking hours? It's still good
Everybody stopped listening that was still recording. I think sorry guys
I'm no Joe. I see 160 160 million
That's less than 1.7 billion is what I got. Is that more than uh
So rocky for 300 millions more, right? That is more by almost exactly twice. Yeah, it was also
It was also how many smoking the bandits did they make it's 15 years after that
How many smoking the bandits did they make well with bird or total bird?
Three two two they didn't want to do more afterwards. He moved on to a bunch of other stuff
And how did those movies do?
Oh, we're comparing
His hope the original rocky and we can't go through the rest of the season's worth of ammo
The original rocky in 1976 was 225 million. Oh and 76
It's five years earlier
And 600,000 dollars more
What have you said is how much
Turn off the internet versus turn off the internet. Yeah, the number you're gonna keep digging yourself deeper and deeper
No, you just ask the question that you as far as cannonball run versus rocky rocky absolutely gross more money. That's a loss for burt there
One of many one of many but yeah, but but true actors that do passion projects and stuff like that
Generally, they don't gross as well. They're not they're not mass appeal type of stuff
An actual an actual car movie an actual car related movie not just a
I mean, that's I mean, honestly, that's it. That was something that burt wanted me to ask you a question
Yeah, it's a passion project the burt reynolds by akuntash
Like as a personal car. No, no, he had a fleet of ta's dude. Exactly
Sorry, josh. Yeah, I'll bet you burt reynolds now. I can get some data
I'll bet you burt reynolds had like a two-wheel drive fucking silverado 1500
Hey, burt had a collection or was a car guy. Was he really? Yeah
I'm I I don't mean he really did like
Ill of the dead. I don't dislike burt. I just like it's a little better
Obviously, look at the fucking picture you found
I want so
I'm gonna ask ai. Yeah
What's it? Oh, hold on do a fucking google search. Who's better do a do a fucking burt versus
Slice the loan
Rocky now we do a rocky or we're doing slice alone. Who's better?
It's better subjective
Or it is
Yeah analysis
Just go cut down to the yeah cut down to the where people are you forgot about deliverance
Nobody ever talks about deliverance is one of the absolutely it's in the top 10 of cinematic masterpieces of all time
Strictly for breaking the ankles
No off putting that's different movie. That's misery. That's misery. That's that's that was a tough movie
I am off on my burt reynolds
Fax you never watched uh, uh deliverance. I've never had
That's a movie
Is that the banjo the original longest yard? Oh, it's a good one. Holy shit
Scroll down to the yeah, right here. Stallone. It's that's Stallone. So it just doesn't have a lot there
People are he's got rocky and Rambo
Honestly, if you think about Stallone
It's too it's two guys. Uh-oh, Jeremy. It's two characters
Stop the scroll to the two that have not a lot of dialogue
Stop real limited
I'm scrolling
There's just nothing else left. Yeah, that's it. That's the end of the sorry. That's a I Burt wins
Hey, you guys, you know what the sad part is josh, you don't have to ask this question again
You don't fucking no one's listening. Well, you don't have to ask this question again
We have four minutes left before we break the record of all time longest podcast
I'm fucking sorry. I'm gonna read I'm gonna read the analysis just as it's not once it's edited
Burt reynolds was celebrated for his natural charm comedic timing and ability to blend action with humor
Particularly evident in films like smoking the bandit. He also delivered acclaimed dramatic performances in films such as deliverance and boogie nights
The latter earning him his only academy award nomination
That'll probably be interesting to note it for later on in the analyst analysis
The academy award nomination. He held the top spot as the world's
Number one movie actor for five consecutive years 78 to 82
Sylvester Stallone is widely recognized for his portrayal of tough determined characters most notably rocky balboa and john rambo
Which solidified his status as an action icon
Salon not only started in these films started in these films, but also wrote many of them
Demonstrating his creative versatility
He's one of only two actors to have started a number one box office film across six consecutive decades
He garnered three academy award nominations. I wish I wouldn't have brought that up
You just fucking skip that shit dude
So that's interesting
that they said that
Including one for his writing of the original rocky screenplay, but that's the thing about academy awards
That's interesting
I think you need to look that up an actual like chat gbt because the next question would be then so who's number one
Yeah, don't do it and that's for next podcast. Yeah, there you go. Save something for next cast
No chat gbt is saved for the for the end in case it's a tie
Oh, this is this is guests. This is we we're gonna make our arguments
But we're gonna take the tally of the guests
So here on out you're gonna need a like a like a road to shop score
Yeah, ellie is gonna put up a scoreboard that we can put on we're gonna do
We're gonna have to create a new backdrop just for this segment
We're gonna have to have you pick the you what you think is the best picture of
Sly if you think that's it. That's fine. That was a teaser. That's just a yeah
I would I would agree. I would find something better
Did you give him a heads up that you were that you had a picture of like did he have a rebuttal?
Did he no we he he he wanted to have a little little extra sly
It's a good picture. I slide that one in there
