The Wrangler is an off-road SUV built to handle rough trails. The podcast says it can do the Rubicon Trail even without special upgrades. That’s why it’s mentioned—because it’s made for off-road driving.
The Rubicon Trail is a well-known tough off-road trail in California. Saying a vehicle can do it “stock” means it’s capable even without special upgrades.
It means the typical price people really pay for a car, not the sticker price. Dealers and analysts use it to compare how expensive different cars are in the real world.
A lease is like renting a car for a few years with a monthly payment. You usually give it back at the end, and the payment is based on how much the car is expected to be worth later.
A destination fee is the extra charge for getting the car from the factory to the dealership. It’s usually added on top of the base price, so it affects what you actually pay.
An interest rate is the price you pay for borrowing money to buy or finance a car. If it’s higher, the car usually costs more over time, which can change how popular it is.
“Street tires” are tires optimized for pavement grip and everyday efficiency, usually with a tread pattern and rubber compound that prioritize low rolling resistance. Because rolling resistance affects energy use, they typically allow more EV range than more aggressive off-road tires.
The front fascia is the car’s front styling area—basically the parts you see up front like the bumper and grille area. It’s where a lot of the brand’s “face” design shows up.
“Body-on-frame” means the car has a strong base frame underneath, and the body sits on top of it. It’s a common design for trucks and off-road vehicles because it’s built to take a beating.
A unibody car doesn’t have a separate frame. The body itself acts like the structure, which can make the vehicle lighter and more efficient.
Term
Enduro motors
“Enduro motors” is the name being used for a newer generation of Rivian’s electric motors. The host is basically saying the later R1 versions use a different motor setup than the first ones.
An acceleration curve describes how a car’s speed (or acceleration) changes over time or across a speed range. When the host says it “ramps up” after 70 mph, they mean the car’s acceleration gets stronger as you continue accelerating rather than staying flat.
Axial flux electric motors are a type of electric motor. They’re designed to be efficient and compact, which can help fit more electric power into a performance car.
“Three motors” means the car uses multiple electric motors to help drive it. The idea here is that the same basic hybrid setup is used, but it’s adjusted to make more power.
“Tuned up” means the car’s settings are adjusted to make it produce more power. Even if the hardware is similar, the software and calibration can change the final horsepower.
“Tuned differently” means the car is set up to feel different when you drive it. It can change things like how quickly it responds to the gas and how it steers.
Here “visibility” means how well the driver can see outside the car. Supercars often sit low and have thick bodywork, so visibility can be worse than in normal cars.
Term
gun slit
A “gun slit” here means a very narrow window opening. The host is describing how the car’s shape can limit what you can see out the side.
Car
Porsche Halo car
A “halo car” is the brand’s headline supercar—the one meant to show off what the company can do. Here, the host says Porsche’s rumored halo car might use a hybrid V8.
A hybrid V8 is a car that combines a V8 gas engine with an electric motor. The electric part can help the car move smoothly and quickly, especially from a stop or at low speeds.
It’s a way to measure how strong an engine is compared to how big it is. If two engines have the same size, the one with higher horsepower per liter is making more power for its size.
Concept
mission X
“Mission X” sounds like a planned idea for a car that the company wanted to build. The speaker is saying people didn’t really want it, so they changed course.
Jaguar is the car brand being used for a comparison. They’re saying the new design looks similar to something Jaguar has shown in a concept or preview image.
Person
Tazio Suckerman
They’re talking about a historical racing driver named “Tazio Suckerman.” The point is that he drove famous, extremely powerful Auto Union race cars.
“Silver Arrow” is a nickname for famous old German race cars. They were known for being extremely quick and competitive in the 1930s.
Term
vehicle roller
A “vehicle roller” is basically a heavy-duty platform that lets you move or position a car for work. The speaker is using it to explain the garage floor system’s load capacity.
The Toyota Supra is a sports car made for fast driving. In the podcast, it’s brought up because it can be loaded and transported on a race setup. That’s about moving the car for an event, not about its normal street use.
Term
Verde Mercurious
This is the name of the car’s paint color. Some car brands give special names to their colors, and those can sometimes be more expensive than standard colors.
A flat-plane crank is a special crankshaft layout inside the engine. It’s one reason some engines can rev very high and feel more “eager,” and it can also change the engine’s sound.
System outputs means the total combined power from all the motors working together. Instead of looking at one motor alone, you add up what the whole drivetrain can do. That’s what the host is doing when they give the total numbers.
Torque vectoring means the car can send different amounts of power to left and right wheels. That helps the car rotate and turn more easily. The host is saying this system is a big reason the steering feels good.
Concept
gasoline powered car
The host is saying this is a fast car that still uses gasoline (even if it also has electric help). They’re comparing it to other super-fast cars, but specifically within the gasoline-powered group. It’s a way to set expectations about what kind of powertrain it is.
A quarter mile is a standard drag-racing distance—about 400 meters. Racers and reviewers use it to compare how quickly cars accelerate. The time and speed numbers tell you how strong the car is over that stretch.
“Liquid metallic” is a fancy way of describing a metallic paint color that looks shiny and changes slightly as you move around the car. It’s usually an extra-cost option compared to basic paint.
Rosso is an Italian word used by automakers (notably Porsche and others) to name a red paint color. When the host says “color accent in Rosso,” they’re referring to a specific factory red shade used for trim/graphics accents.
Carbon fiber is a super-light material used in some high-end cars. Making parts like doors out of it can help the car weigh less and feel more solid.
Term
Allegretta
“Allegretta” sounds like a name for a specific option or package on the car. The host seems unsure how to say it, so it may be a brand name tied to the lightweight parts.
A splitter is a flat piece on the front of the car that helps the air flow in a controlled way. That can push the car down onto the road so it sticks better when you’re driving fast.
A duct tail is a rear design with openings or channels meant to move air in a specific way. It can help with cooling and also with how the car stays planted at speed.
The Bugatti Veyron is a very expensive, extremely fast sports car. In the podcast, it’s mentioned as a reference point for performance. The point is that it’s in the top tier of speed and power.
Daytime running lights are the lights a car uses in the daytime so other drivers can see it better. “Hexagonal” just means the light design has a six-sided shape.
Term
break vent
This is a vent that moves air into a specific area of the car. The goal is usually to keep important parts from overheating.
The Lamborghini Huracán is a famous Lamborghini supercar with a sporty, mid-engine layout. The host is basically saying the new car’s design reminds them of the Huracán.
Matte carbon is carbon-fiber trim that doesn’t shine like a glossy finish. It’s a common look on performance cars because it looks high-end and sporty.
“Electronics” here means the car’s computers and sensors that control how the car behaves. The point is that better electronics can make a supercar feel smoother and more manageable in everyday driving.
Term
daily drivability
“Daily drivability” means how comfortable and easy the car is to drive on normal days, like errands or commuting. The speaker is saying newer tech makes the car less tiring and more user-friendly.
The Porsche 911 is a famous sports car model from Porsche. In the podcast, it’s mentioned as part of a promo code, meaning it’s being used as a recognizable name. It’s known for being a performance-focused car.
The Porsche Carrera RS is a high-performance version of a Porsche 911. In the podcast, it’s mentioned in a story about loud exhausts and police attention. It’s brought up because it’s the kind of car that can sound and perform very aggressively.
The Porsche Carrera GT is a rare, high-end Porsche supercar famous for its V10 engine. People love how it sounds when it revs, and the episode is joking about police trying to stop that noise.
A V10 is an engine configuration with ten cylinders arranged in a “V” shape. In performance cars, V10s are often chosen for their smooth power delivery and high-revving character, which is why the hosts connect the V10 “whale” sound to the Porsche Carrera GT’s reputation.
Beverly Hills is a city in Los Angeles County, California, known for affluence and strict local rules. In the segment, it’s the setting for a humorous “noise crackdown” narrative where police allegedly pull over high-end sports cars for being too loud.
A stock exhaust is the factory-installed exhaust system that comes with the car when it’s new. The speaker argues that if the car still has its stock exhaust, it shouldn’t be as loud—contrasting with louder aftermarket setups that can trigger noise complaints.
The “C8” refers to the Chevrolet Corvette C8, which is the Corvette generation that moved to a mid-engine layout. Here, it’s mentioned as part of a broader “crackdown” on loud sports cars, with the speaker saying they’re okay with the Corvette crackdown but want the Carrera GT left alone.
The Porsche 918 Spyder is a supercar that uses both electricity and a gasoline engine. The podcast mentions it along with other rare Porsche cars, likely to compare which exotic cars are involved. It’s brought up because it’s a special, high-performance model.
The podcast mentions a Ferrari called “Luce,” but there isn’t enough detail in the snippet to say what it is exactly. It sounds like they’re just naming a Ferrari model while talking about cars. If you can share more of the segment, I can explain it more clearly.
The Cayenne is Porsche’s SUV model. In the podcast, they mention an electric version (“Cayenne EV”). That’s why it’s discussed—because it’s about an EV SUV version of the Cayenne.
Term
active error
An “active” system is something in the car that watches what’s happening and then automatically does something to help. Here, it sounds like the car can deploy parts from the rear when certain conditions are met.
“Electric architecture” is basically how the car’s electrical system is planned and built. A newer design can make it easier to update the software and fix problems.
Many modern EVs use over-the-air (OTA) updates or dealer updates to change vehicle software after purchase. That can improve features, fix bugs, and sometimes adjust vehicle behavior without replacing major hardware.
The Bentley Bentayga is a luxury SUV made by Bentley. The podcast says some people didn’t like it because it’s an SUV, but it’s also described as Bentley’s best-selling model. It’s mentioned because it’s a major, popular vehicle in Bentley’s lineup.
The Tesla Model X is an electric SUV, so it runs on electricity instead of gasoline. The podcast talks about how the Model S and Model X are made, including assembly lines. That’s why it’s mentioned—because it’s one of Tesla’s key electric vehicles.
The Tesla Model S is an electric car, meaning it runs on electricity instead of gasoline. The podcast talks about production/assembly lines for the Model S and Model X. That’s why it’s mentioned—because it’s a key car in Tesla’s manufacturing.
The Dodge Charger is a car that’s built for strong acceleration and a sporty feel. In the podcast, they mention different versions of the Charger, like the 300 and 392. It’s brought up because it’s a performance-focused model people like to drive.
LIVE
All right, here we are, welcome to Spikes Car Radio, back with the original OG guys.
This is fantastic.
I'm excited to do this show just for you guys to know my mom is sitting over there too,
so everybody behave.
It's a family show, and Jack Ferrisdon is working the booth here.
He's nodding over there.
A wholesome entertainment.
Because Cameron's out, I think, shooting a wedding or at getting married.
He could be getting married.
So this is like the hallmark edition of Spikes Car Radio.
It is.
Right.
Much like Morris Solomon's is run by your son, Jack Ferrisdon.
This is run by your family now.
This is being run by Jack Ferrisdon.
Pretty soon they'll just be sitting there and taking over, and we get to get Richard
in here really soon.
Get our captain's staffs in here.
We can leave.
Yeah.
Anyway, welcome back, everybody.
There's a lot to talk about.
Johnny, where have you been, by the way?
Boy.
We haven't seen you for a little bit.
Well, let's see.
I was in Utah.
Yeah.
I drove the new Rivian R2, which we'll talk about.
Well, we can talk about that right now.
We can talk about it right now.
Sure.
Sure.
All right.
Well, so Rivian, they're much anticipated, smaller.
Right now it's an SUV only.
But they're not out yet, right?
Well, let's see.
They go on sale the 9th.
So if you're hearing this, it's the 10th.
So you can go buy one.
Yeah.
Really?
They go on sale on June 9th.
Show me the white one, Jack.
Oh, yeah.
This picture is on.
Wow.
So this was this is Utah, still has snow.
We're outside of Park City.
And yeah, so basically, you know, the Rivian R1 SUV, the R1S, you know, it's 7000 pounds.
It can do the Rubicon Trail stock, but it's just over engineered, overbuilt, blah, blah,
blah.
This is now basically the footprint of a Tesla Model Y. It's 2,000 pounds lighter.
It's about 5,000 pounds, two motors, 556 horsepower, sorry, 656 horsepower, 609 pound
feet of torque.
Yeah.
And it can climb mountains and really, really well.
And but it's for those that complain that the R1 was a little too big and expensive and
expensive.
This is smaller and 58,000.
This is the launch edition with two motors and a lot of horsepower.
There'll be one with two motors and less horsepower.
Yeah.
There'll be a one motor, so rear drive only.
Yeah.
And that's going to start at like 47.
And that'll be the cheapest you can go.
There are a lot of people that have been waiting for this to come out a lot.
Yeah.
And so the trick for Rivian was, OK, what makes a Rivian, right?
OK, so it's got more luxury than you would think.
They have like really, really like first class interiors with first class electronics.
Like the touchscreen just works perfect.
They're much sportier than they need to be to drive and they have go anywhere capability.
So can you do that at a lower price point?
Because like, you know, the average transaction price of an R1 is probably like $85,000.
So can you get that down and still make it a good vehicle?
And I'm here to tell you, like, yeah, they pulled it off.
It's really super.
He's super review guy.
This looks like, you know, Ford and Land Rover had a baby.
Yeah. Right.
Yeah, but it looks it looks just like the front of the green one, Jack.
Let's look at that one.
Yeah. Oh, the blue one.
That looks nice.
Look, Zuckerman, I drove these things, too.
And I really love I love them, too.
I've had my eye on this R2.
I think it's a big question.
If you want to lease one of these, do you know what a monthly payment will be?
That I don't know, because they're not they don't go on sale to the ninth.
But, you know, what, how much do they cost?
Well, again, there's a 50.
This is a launch edition, like 57, 58,000.
Because they only car kermit, this thing where it's like 57,000,
but you have to pay a $1,500 destination fee.
So yeah, I think it's like 58, five.
So, you know, what is that to lease, like 800 a month, something like that?
Hard to say. It depends on what the program is.
It depends on what interest rate is.
Interest rates are and that factors into whether it is going to, you know,
be big in the market or or not.
Right. But I think what you're telling me is that it's a winning package.
If the price it's a killer pack right every month, it's a killer package.
The backseat is like way bigger than the backseat of the middle seat of the R1S.
The backseat is actually incredible.
They figured out the packaging there.
330 miles of range on the street tires.
Fantastic. But then on the these these are the street tire.
I can't tell.
But it's 330 on the street and then it's not a big hit to go to the off road
tires. So it's 310 miles on the off road tires.
Like a my truck, it goes from like 330 miles of range to 285.
If you get the off road tires.
So you think, you know, looking at Rivian right now with respect to where
Tesla was in their design language, are they hopefully now thinking ahead
and going, we've got some new enhancements for the next line, the dot twos,
the dot threes, or are we always going to have the kind of Pillsbury,
Doughboy, front fascia?
Well, they call that I mean, you're always going to have those headlights.
That's their stadium headlights.
So yeah, yeah, stadium from the.
But you know what I'm saying, right?
Are they going to evolve the design?
Rivian, are they just going to keep making this same thing
until suddenly the design language is sold?
I yeah, I don't know.
I mean, look, they've had one car out for four years, you know what I mean?
So I don't know.
We've seen the R3 and it looks, you know, it's like a hatchback version of this.
Yeah, yeah.
They RJ did say we had a nice round table with RJ as a CEO.
And he said that there is an R4 and an R5.
He wouldn't say what they're going to be.
They said there's other.
How did they phrase it?
Other versions of this will be coming.
Other form factors, I think they said so.
They didn't say pickup truck.
If it's not a pickup truck, I don't know what the hell it could be.
Because, you know, you're not going to do a two door.
You're not going to do a convertible.
So it's kind of be a pickup truck.
But the R1 is body on frame, just super overbuilt for off-roading.
This is a unibody.
This is a more normal construction.
But like it's so this has what's called they call the Maximus motors.
So like the the second gen R1s have what are called the Enduro motors.
And they're really, really great motors, but they're super torquey
because you do truck stuff with the R1, you tow and all that.
These are super horsepower.
So like this thing from 70 miles an hour to 115 is like freakishly quick.
Just yanks.
Like it's it's it's so it like the acceleration curve seems to ramp up
when you get to 70. It's very excited about it.
Very excited. Here's my suggestion.
Incredible. A spicy hot Cheeto edition Rivian.
Why not? Why not?
Let's talk about another car, though.
We've talked enough about this Rivian.
Yeah, the big news is Audi shocked us this week with the new Valari.
Actually, it was last week when this show airs.
The new mid-engine supercar boasting nearly 1000 horsepower.
And they want us to keep in mind it's not an Audi R8 replacement.
Except it just except it is except it isn't 700 grand.
I understand. But still, it's like it's the takeoff point one would think.
It's the natural logical, you know, taproot really making 499.
Let's talk about it for a second.
It appears to borrow the powertrain and more from the Lamborghini
Temarario, which we have one behind us today,
but it wraps it all up in a titanium huge shell that's very Audi.
The Audi supercar is back at last, but it's not in the form of a new R8.
Instead, it says hello to the new Valari named after Italian racecar
driver that no one knew until last week. Tazio, new Valari.
Dear. We didn't know him.
Audi had a great concept of the new Valari.
Yes. OK. And he drove the order.
Whatever. If I'm correct.
Specs are scarce, but four liter twin turbo V eight sits in the middle
aided by three axial flux electric motors that combined output
900 and 87 horsepower with 800 of these
coming solely from the V eight, which we like 500 and 38
foot pounds of torque and a stratospheric 10000 RPM red line.
What do you think, Johnny?
What have you heard about this?
Well, it's sitting behind you. That is the same engine.
No, about the Audi, the Audi.
Look at this car. Take a look.
Show the guys the pictures, Jack. Scroll down again.
It's it's you. Do you think that photo looks good?
Because I don't. These are renderings.
Everyone is on person said it's really nice.
Really? Yeah. OK.
What do you mean?
This looks like a late modeled World War Two German tank.
This is exactly this.
No, it looks like an elephant or do you know what I thought of like the
Rockham Sockham Robots?
That's true. The head of a Rockham Sockham Robots.
Apparently, these renderings do no justice.
Go down lower.
But look, it's literally the V eight from the car behind you, Spike.
It has the same three motors.
They're just tuned up.
So instead of 900 and seven horsepower, it makes 987
Yeah. So that it's it's literally doesn't the car behind you.
So you're saying, you know, folks that have seen this and it looks better than these photos.
All like, yeah, like Bossam Wasim.
All day drop.
Bossam was there. We like Bossam Wasim.
That's pretty good. That's a nice angle right there.
Yeah, it's a Lamborghini.
But yeah, if you want your Lamborghini wrapped up like a tank, this is what you're right.
OK, here, let me ask you a different question.
Yeah. Is there enough different about this
to make it an Audi or is it just a Audi badged Lamborghini?
Was there enough difference between the R eight and the Guiardo and the R eight?
No, actually, absolutely successful.
Like you didn't answer the question.
Do you for you?
Yeah, of course. OK. Yeah.
Why?
Again, this is going to have a unique power output.
It's going to have a unique driving character.
And and again, like I've driven the R eight a lot and I drove Guiardo's a lot
and I drove Huracan's a lot and I drove both generations of R eight.
And they felt super different, right?
They're going to be tuned differently.
The weights will be different.
Obviously, this one visibility is going to be different.
As you were through your gun slit.
Kind of the same.
If you take a look at that.
How about that?
We've heard that the Porsche Halo car will be a hybrid V eight.
So is that is that their new Halo car going to end up looking like a third version of this?
I don't know.
I would be shocked if Porsche used an Audi V eight or a Lambo V.
It's a Lamborghini V eight.
I'd be shocked of Porsche.
I think it would have to be like they need money.
They're losing money.
And yeah, I comes in and goes if we did use it.
Yeah. So if free money, I'll tell you this.
When I went on the launch of the Tamarario,
Reuvenmoors, who before he got the real big corporate job used to be known as Dr.
Crazy official, but he was at Lambo, went back to Audi, Lambo,
went back to Audi.
He developed this car and the green car that here, the Tamarario.
And he said, yeah, you know, we're making about 200 horsepower per liter
with the V eight in the Tamarario and the new Laura here.
He goes, we've already got one sitting on the bench making 250.
So they can have a thousand horsepower V eight plus do whatever you want
with the electric motors.
You just put in more powerful motors.
So that could be what winds up in a Porsche.
What the hell is the same Porsche so long?
Oh, I don't know. I have no idea.
I think I think they really thought the mission X was like the way to go.
Yeah, yeah. Nobody wanted it.
So then they were like, oh, we go back to the two years behind, three years behind.
But it's got to look similar to this.
I mean, this is the super car design language that's a foul thing.
By the way, to me, it doesn't look so different than that Jaguar rendering.
Yeah, no, that's a good one. Give me some quick facts about Tazio.
Suckerman. I remember him driving crazy auto union cars.
The silver bullets that were silver silver arrow that were super high
powered three World War Two and people really die driving.
Yeah, yeah, like Rosmire. Yeah, yeah.
So you think it's deserving that we call this car the new Polario.
It's an Italian name for a German car.
So that's a little bit dishing it.
But it's an Italian car. So so there you go.
So all right.
Well, what else?
Just one thing like the one thing I don't think it'll be the Porsche supercar,
the halo car, whatever you want to call it.
It's real heavy and it doesn't affect how it drives.
But I just don't think Porsche is going to want something.
It weighs heavy.
That green car there is 4100 and 65 pounds.
Here you go. You would never know it driving it.
But it's a big boy. Boy a boy.
Well, guess what?
Race deck can handle vehicle roller.
It's a 80 thousand pounds.
So we could put 16 of them on our race deck.
Race deck is a cost effective durable.
Truly do it yourself modular flooring system engineered for the garage.
They're currently at work on Spike Ferrison's home garage.
We're very excited about that.
There's Turtle Man face right there.
Is that you?
I don't know who that is that was a version of me last year.
He's a retired CPA.
You look at this man.
How did he get an ST?
Yeah, how did he get an ST?
He stole from his clients all his career.
Race deck manufacturers 247 ships most orders within 48 hours.
And you should get it right now to redo your garage for the summer.
Head to race deck dot com slash SCR or race deck dot com slash spikes car radio
for an exclusive 15 percent off garage flooring.
There you go.
All right, we were talking about the Lamborghini.
Why don't we break a camera off and Johnny, you can take us through this
Temurario that I was supposed to drive to and I have not.
All right, here it is, Johnny.
Go ahead, take us around the car and tell us about it.
It's a beautiful color of green there.
I only a Lamborghini guy could drive.
I have a really fun game we can play, which would be guess the option prices.
Because OK, boy, oh boy.
But does he course extra money to get that color?
Oh boy, doesn't really.
Really? Well, what's the color?
You know, yes, it's called Verde Mercurious.
Ah, yes, because they are Mercurious on how much money you'll spend.
How much did we spend on this?
Oh, we'll get to that. We'll
But OK, so this is the Urukhan replacement, the Temurario
twin turbo four liter V8 that revs to 10200 and fifty.
Wow, yeah, flat plane crank. Wow.
By itself, it makes 700 and 89 horsepower, three motors,
one in the transmission, one on each front wheel, total system outputs
nine oh seven and the front wheels are doing a lot of torque vectoring.
So a lot of the steering feel.
This is the quickest gasoline powered car that motor train ever tested.
And I think that might be slightly at a date because of 01 X in the zinger.
We just got tested. But right 062 point two seconds, quarter mile,
quarter mile, nine point six seconds at 100 and 48 point three
that's the same hour. It's insane.
And is it just as easy as a hurricane to drive?
Easier, much easier, like these cars are so good.
This is so good.
But the funny thing is we'll get to the price in a second
because like it's it's not an Urukhan replacement.
It's just it's it's so much above what an Urukhan could ever have done.
Like Urukhan, 600 and 31 horsepower, 300 and 98
pound feet of torque. So this is like 300 more horsepower.
Double the torque, if not more.
Also, it's a it's a hybrid.
So you get three miles of silence.
But that's enough to get out of your neighborhood.
That's what I was going to say for you.
For me, it's great because, you know, you can get down the the street before.
Unlike the Guntherworks, that's 26
Which woke up four square miles the first year of the Huracan 2014.
Fourteen. OK, so that was an older old platform.
Yeah, that was the second gen R8 platform.
So yeah, so this is a new platform shared with the new Velary for now.
But this is fun because guess guess the how much this car costs.
I'm thinking in the sixes.
It's a good guess. Yeah, yeah.
I'd be right there. Six oh 56 oh five.
But the base price is 380 sevens.
That means how we have 200 and 17000 dollars of options.
So how much is Verdei Mercurius paint?
Fifty. A hundred and ten.
No, no, no.
Only 25000
Well, that's not so bad.
You set it up as a big number.
That's insane for green paint on a Lamborghini.
OK, OK.
Porsche, there was that liquid metallic silver.
This is a liquid metallic.
Hundred and ten. Yeah, yeah.
All right.
But what's paint sample on a Porsche right now?
Forty. No, fourteen.
The paint. Yeah, maybe.
I don't know. We never get it.
So I don't know. We never do.
I don't think so.
I'm driving a Ration Green 718 today.
Was it? OK.
So I don't know what I'm talking about.
This is going to be less fun than I thought,
because you guys are like, oh, only 25000
That's OK.
Well, he was something yesterday when I did this.
People are like, what?
Oh, you did say it's like two.
You said 200 to some odd.
Yeah. Yes. OK.
So there's a lot of options. OK.
Let's see another good one.
If they're boring, don't take us through it.
Livery with color accent in Rosso.
So I think it just means the red.
Yeah. Yeah.
How much is the livery in color?
I already don't like this game.
OK, go ahead. Tell me.
Save what? 2000 bucks.
14000
All right. OK, good.
Let's show us the inside of the car.
All right, we're done.
We had a great game.
You wanted to show us the doors.
You said, oh, well, this is an 84000 dollar
option where you get these cool carbon fiber doors.
OK, that's a good one.
You can't do the fucking game.
What do you want?
That's a good one.
I was getting there.
OK, you were starting with a little stuff.
All right. So what's 84000 dollars about this?
I can't pronounce it.
Aluminium?
Allegretta, however you say it.
The lightweight package.
The lightweight.
Yeah. So the lightweight package, they just remove the entire door
and it's now just a giant hunk of carbon fiber.
Really? Yeah.
What's the booger you have on there?
I don't know.
We filmed it.
Pull back a little bit, Jack, and move the door.
Is it really light?
Slam it. No, no, no, no.
Slam it hard.
No, you're paying 84000
and you're losing like thirty pound.
It's not worth it, but it is, you know, it gets the value.
Can you tell what's different about looking at this door with that package?
The door, yes.
And you can also tell from the outside, but you've angered me.
So I mean, oh, again, finally, look at the outside if we weren't done with
like the splitter up front and the sill and then the duct tail on the back.
That's all part of that package.
I see. Yeah.
And the back is actually rather interesting looking.
The rest of the car is kind of, I'd say, conservative,
but the back is like exploded.
It looks corvetti.
Yeah, I was thinking that, too, just as you were coming across it.
But yeah, it's pretty wild.
But you love this thing, right?
I mean, it's so insane to drive.
It's it's just like, let's look at the front grill here.
Johnny obviously drove this car.
Look at that zoom right in on the front grill.
There are the bugs, the bugs, bro, down low.
Yeah, look at the smashes.
Look at the butterflies.
Oh, no, Johnny.
Where is it? Where did this happen?
That was Chris.
All those pretty little butterflies.
Not anymore.
That one's kind of cool the way that one is.
How much did that option cost?
Yeah. Yeah.
It's like a butterfly with a little pin through it.
There's part of the $14,000 register, right?
Yeah, yeah. Wow.
This is cool.
But yeah, it just hauls.
I mean, it's it's like, you know, this is this is more better
than Veyron performance, you know, like, and it's for only half the money.
Really? Well, Veyron's about 1.2.
Fantastic. Yeah, it's it's real good.
It's in its comfy.
The seats are pretty good.
It has a lot of tech inside.
OK. Yeah.
Hard to hard to hate.
I don't like those the hexagonal daytime running lights,
but those are actually if you stick your hand in there, Jack,
it's that's a break vent so that air gets sucked in.
I'm going blind right now.
The air gets sucked in.
And Johnny turned the car on.
That's why. Yeah.
All right. Yeah.
Did we did we get enough of the inside?
I didn't really get to see it that much.
Just shoot the inside one more time from there.
So we just have a look at the sports seats.
Getting out of this.
These are the I remember to this is like the standard car.
Like there will be the performante version,
which will probably be 1200 horsepower.
And so Apple CarPlay, et cetera, blah, blah, blah.
Doesn't have CarPlay.
I don't think it looks like a Huracan still.
But yeah, I mean, it's a Lamborghini design.
The the the vents in matte carbon, I forget.
They're like 17000 for the air vent, which is pretty good.
Something like that.
What would you do other than this green, though?
All kinds of fun Lambo colors.
Yellow, orange, red, blue, perhaps.
Yeah. All right. Fantastic.
Yeah. No, it's it's fun, though.
It's it's a fun it's it's it works.
And despite weighing 4,200 pounds, it does not drive like that.
Just shocking. It doesn't.
You don't feel the weight at all.
You were saying you don't think you can get out of.
I don't think I think I would look ridiculous in this.
Let's get a minute.
The thing about Lamborghinis is like we like to make fun of them.
But then we drive them.
They're amazing. Right.
It's just it's it's it's getting in and out part.
That's hard. That's the hard part.
But you will like it.
I remember the first time I drove the Huracan in 2014.
I went crazy. I couldn't believe how nice and easy it was to drive.
Amazing car.
It was just a very simple formula.
The tie up with Audi, like is a really good thing.
Because, you know, these electronics are coming from Audi.
And, you know, it's it's it's just they give them a daily usability
and a daily drivability that just wasn't there before.
Yeah, you know, you get into a Mercia logo, like you sit sideways
and it's just like they're great.
But yeah, let's talk about our friends at McGuire's.
Our friends in McGuire's dump 20 boxes of their product on my lawn.
Thank you, McGuire's.
And I've got it. You've got some right there, Johnny.
I brought some in for Johnny and the whole neighborhood.
Should I stack them up?
Yeah, no. Yeah, sure. Go ahead.
What is that? The rubber cleaner?
Yes, new for 2026.
They have quick solution kits.
Four kits are available.
All weather floor mat, carpet, cloth, heavy duty,
headlight, restoration, leather care.
Jack first and will attest to the fact that we washed two cars this week
with McGuire's.
I did the Tesla and then I did James's car for graduation.
Congratulations, Jack first and all the kids at Pali High School.
The first graduating class back survived.
Congratulations to all of you class of 2026 kids.
You guys are the first back from the pandemic and then fires here.
I mean, insanity, but anyway.
He's stealing. I wanted to feel it.
Oh, you can have whatever you want.
Second, I've got 20 boxes of this stuff.
Really? Yeah.
Each kid is designed to get the job done.
No more research, no more tired arms.
I can attest to it being great
because I don't know how to clean cars and my cars are looking good.
Available now through Amazon, advanced auto parts and McGuire's.com.
All right, let's talk about Bluetooth.
If you're a lady or fella or that person that sends you eggplant emojis
at 2 a.m. is ready for better sex, then you should be too.
That's where Bluetooth comes in.
They have a mission.
They have been on a mission for years to get you bricked up.
You know, we're getting so many pictures of license plates
that have bricked up.
That's not where I thought you were going.
No, no, but it's true.
Just BRK'd up and people are sneaking it through the vanity plate process.
It's amazing. We support all of it.
Their new arousal boosting formula,
Bluetooth Gold is helping millions of men have better sex in 2026.
While most ED meds focus on blood flow,
Bluetooth Gold goes further by combining two ingredients for blood flow
with two ingredients for mental arousal and connection.
So you're not just physically ready.
You are actually in the mood.
This is endorsed by my mom, Mary Farrison, former nurse at Cardinal Cushing Hospital.
She said, and I quote, Bluetooth Gold is the number one brand for erectile dysfunction.
You know, Zuckerman, he just overdosed on Bluetooth Gold.
He's why he's not here.
He's in the bathroom right now, the bathroom snorting his Bluetooth Gold.
Anyway, and we've got a special deal for your listeners right now.
When you buy two months of Bluetooth Gold,
you get the third month free with promo code Spike 911.
That's promo code Spike911.
Visit Bluetooth.com for more details and important safety information.
We thank Bluetooth for sponsoring the podcast.
Thank you, Bluetooth.
There's a lot more to talk about here.
Lots of stuff going on in the news.
First of all, have you guys heard that Beverly Hills is cracking down on loud exhausts?
And they've kicked off their campaign against loud exhausts
by going after a guy with a Porsche Carrera GT, a C8 Corvette, and a Z06.
The police say they have partnered with Pipedown Solutions.
Oh, God.
Wait, let's all say fuck you to Pipedown Solutions.
Fuck you, Pipedown Solutions.
What? Pipedown Solutions.
For loud exhaust enforcement training.
What you want to do, what you want to do.
Listen, OK, just listen. Just shut up. OK.
OK, you hear that? That's loud.
I can't tell. How do you tell?
We've trained Pipedown Solutions, guys.
That's right. Just send us the check.
After training was completed, it seems the police wasted no time
pulling over high end sports cars.
Now many car enthusiasts consider the whale of the V10 and the Porsche Carrera GT
to be one of the greatest sounds in automotive history.
We're like that.
But according to the police, it's too much for the poor citizens of Beverly Hills,
who whose life is tough, Zuckerman.
They have tough lives.
They have tough lives in Beverly Hills, and they can't take the sound
of an occasional Carrera GT, apparently. Yes, Zuckerman.
Well, if it's a stock exhaust, it's not that loud.
The police apparently believe that this noise crackdown is one
that people are happy to support.
Well, I can tell you, Mr. Police Officer,
we're OK with the C8, the Corvette crackdown and even a Lamborghini crackdown.
But leave our Carrera GTs alone.
Oh, hang on, 06 is a hell of a great noise.
All right, leave the 06.
Leave the 06.
Lamb's blood for them, too.
Yes. Yeah, yeah.
But Lambrose, Lambo guys.
Yes. Get a ticket.
Anybody who cuts the mustard in Beverly Hills, you can take down.
Lamborghini guys, you can take down.
But the 908, I mean, the 918, the Carrera GT.
What other cars do we want to get off their list?
GT3s.
Any stock Porsche gets a pass.
Are they cracking down on the kids on the minibikes, like like rolling up and down?
Oh, they're just having fun.
Oh, yeah, they're just having a good time.
Like the Detroit Police Officer said, when I asked them about it,
they said, well, we'd rather them be doing this.
When you're rich, you want nice, quiet time to think about all your money.
I'm so tired.
You don't want to be disturbed when you're counting your money.
Last thing we need to do is to upset the citizenry of the Beverly Hills.
They have to go back to one.
They were getting, oh, they were getting high.
They were getting all the way up there.
10000000 11 million, 12 and then like this year.
Oh, my God.
I like the track of my millions.
Also, like how many career GTs are they going to see, two?
That's right.
No, we live in a in a grievance politics time.
I guess so.
Do every, you know, this is what the next door app is started.
Let's just keep complaining until the police are forced to do anything.
And the Beverly Hills Police Department is fantastic
because they just take care of Beverly Hills.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's also a problem for them
because anybody feels like they can call up and say, hey, you know,
there's a squirrel in my bird feeder.
Sure. Well, you shoot it.
If you're like me, where my business is on the east side of Beverly Hills,
the wrong side of the Beverly Hills track, you don't get as much.
You don't. You don't know.
Are you OK with career GTs?
I'd be perfectly fine.
And I'm next to the McLaren dealership.
I hear a lot of I hear all kinds of stuff.
Yeah, I think, you know, in all seriousness,
we're talking about the people who are racing through the Beverly Hills
flats and on sunset, regardless of how the sun set.
There are lots of people revving their engines a little too high.
I think this has to be a little more nuanced, yeah, an engine rev.
Again, it's the it's the Lambo guys with the aftermarket ear splitters
that are like they wreck it for everybody.
They wrecked our car.
But look, you know, we were talking about this earlier today
with respect to this car.
When we leave our neighborhoods, we try to be quiet.
When you're in the neighborhood, you try to be quiet.
If you have a loud car, you know, somebody else's neighborhood.
Who cares? I guess I guess we're a little bit hypocritical.
No, I don't do that.
I don't. I don't make noise in other people's neighborhoods.
OK, where do you make the noise?
Maybe a little bit.
Yeah, maybe a little.
Yes, screw those people further.
All right, anyway, here's another story.
And this is something for you guys to guess.
So, Jack, don't scroll down, but you can put it up.
These 10 minutes are the most dangerous
on California roads, according to data.
All right, here's what we have.
The Mercury Insurance Company has identified the 10 most dangerous
driving windows across the country, but more specifically here in L.A.
and in California, the time of day, the 10 minutes in the time of day,
really, that there are the most accidents,
which is part of your business. All right.
And they're different in different parts of California.
But why don't you guys try to guess first the overall most dangerous
10 minutes of the day in California in general?
Sometime in the morning.
Am I right about that?
I'm not going to say I'm like when traffic starts.
So, yes, I guess the literal time.
No, I'm just thinking a lot.
I'm thinking sometimes 650 to seven.
I was literally going to say 750 to eight.
OK, yeah, one of those two's.
Peak crash time is 12 noon to 12.
10. You're kidding me. Wow.
Maybe most people are out.
That's what it says.
You know, that's what the most cars on the road in Los Angeles County.
It's different. Yes. OK.
In Los Angeles County, it's 3 p.m.
to 3.10. OK.
These are the most. That's when traffic starts.
These are the most dangerous times.
All of the times were either 12 noon or 3 p.m.
with the exception of a couple of 2 p.m. or 4 p.m.
I could tell you doing accident cases for 35 years.
OK, I never noticed that phenomena.
This sounds. I have never noticed.
I don't know.
By the way, it's not 259 to 309.
No, it's kind of brown numbers.
I'm not buying this.
I think this is.
Scroll down now, Jack.
And let's see more of how they crunched this number.
Five years of claim data is what they're looking at.
Go go up. There's a little thing.
There's a little thing highlighted.
It's too clean. It's too clean, right?
Well, they're just looking at five years of claim data
and going when the accident took place.
You hear what I'm saying, though, right?
Well, like, like, like it's 12 p.m. to 12.10.
They're rounding. It's not 12.01 to 12.11.
Yeah, they're saying the most dangerous 10 minutes.
But I'm saying what the odds of all these different cities
starting on the hour and ending exactly.
We know they've rounded the time,
but I'm just going to tell you that
they took the most dangerous
like places on the freeway.
Yes, interchanges like the 10 and the four or five
or anywhere, the five and the 710 right?
Where the 60 and the ten comes together, the one on one
and the four or five.
That's where you want to look at those places.
If we if we zeroed in right there
at those most dangerous freeway into changes,
I'm telling you, it's going to be a different time.
It's not going to be noon.
But I just want our listeners to be careful
from noon to 12.10.
And then do it. Yes.
Or three to three to then do it.
Everyone relax, but tighten up, tighten up at noon, ladies
and gentlemen, tighten up at noon.
Calling us to the San Diego to.
Let's go to Bentley.
They've got some news for us here. Watch this.
Get ready. Hold on before you play.
I love this guy who we've just lived through
the Ferrari Fredo. What are they called?
The Luce, right?
Before that, we had the Jaguar
coffin, electric coffin.
Love that. Now I'm on Instagram watching Graham,
the weird jacketed.
Gestalt guy.
Yes. Stod guy.
Gestalt. Not knowing what I'm looking at.
But I see my friend, Dr.
Frank Walliser, who's running Bentley.
And here's what he says here.
You can read along. You don't need your head.
I say a bit.
Just watch. Watch what's about to happen.
What can you tell us about the things that excite you
for the next few years?
We are now very close to this.
What is maybe the most exciting moment
what you can have when when working in automotive
is the presentation of a new car.
We are adding another.
And we have a new model at Bentley coming.
And this is super exciting.
It's super exciting.
He's excited.
It's an electric car.
Looking for new customers, different target groups.
So we all know how critical that is.
Watch this.
He goes right into you.
You see what he did?
OK, right there, you can stop.
So now Bentley, this is what's interesting about it.
We've just they just show kind of two loud
launches that didn't go well in this podcast, not Frank.
And Bentley is saying we have a new model
that's also in this place.
Do you know anything about it?
What do you know?
It's the Cayenne.
It's like they're going to redo the Cayenne as an electric Bentley.
So it's an SUV. Yeah.
So that new Cayenne looks amazing, right?
Everyone who's driven it is just raving
and raving about how it's the best driving thing.
Jackie, can you pull that up?
You just do it in the browser.
What is it, the Cayenne GT hybrid?
It's just I don't know.
Cayenne EV, Portrait Cayenne EV.
But yeah, the stats on it.
Stats are through the roof on the turbo.
Yeah, right. This guy.
That's the one.
So go through the specs on this guy.
We talked a little bit about it last week
when you guys weren't here,
so I don't want to spend too much time on it.
But it's like it's like 1,100, 1,200 horsepower.
It's got active error where it literally has like things
that shoot out of the rear.
Yeah, we saw that, right.
But the speed was.
Yeah, everything about it is ridiculous.
Yeah, you know, my partner,
you had a lemon, three of them, the last version.
Will it work? Well, any car work, you know, it's it's.
But yeah, this is a new electric architecture.
EVs have less hard to fix problems than gas cars do, you know,
and the software is updatable and all that.
But yeah, but I'm told that Bentley has an electric SUV
coming and that's what it is.
And that's the search for new customers.
Look, everyone all hated because it's an SUV.
Everyone hated the Bentayga.
It's the best selling Bentley.
Everyone hated the Ores.
It's the best selling Lamborghini.
Everyone hated the original Cayenne.
It was the best selling Porsche before the Macon came out,
which became the best selling Porsche.
That's right.
So what will they call this new Bentley?
Do you have any idea what that is?
So you're so they're going to take this platform
and Bentley eyes it.
That's going to be great.
I mean, for some people, some people will hate it.
You know, I saw this Cayenne
and thought definitely a contender like the R2.
Definitely a contender for me.
Like I would go into either one of these cars
and it Bentley has it.
That could be the first Bentley I get.
It's like I said, everyone knows driven the electric Cayenne
has been because like the electric Macon, it's OK.
You know, it's not like nothing right home about.
But everyone drove the Cayenne is just absolutely incredible.
Yeah. So good for them.
They needed it. Good for them. They did it.
And what's also funny is that they're going to make
they're just going to keep making the old Cayenne
with a gas engine for everyone who's like, I don't want an EV.
It's like, all right, have our old slow thing with half the horsepower
or you for the same money, you can get the EV, which is like
these guys, they look good.
Here's another story I just want to show to Zuckerman
to get his thoughts, because I know he likes robot stories.
Here's another Chinese robot.
This humanoid robot is doing a performance for kids.
Look at him. He's got a funnel.
Yes. He's so entertaining.
Oh, right in the bread basket.
Right in the bread basket.
Let's see that in slow motion.
If these guys made the video, then they back the thing off.
And then here he goes.
Boom. Oh, happy birthday, kid.
Yep. Zuckerman, you must be so excited about the robot revolution.
You know, it turns out that James Cameron was an Ostradamus of our age.
He envisioned all of this back in the 80s in the 80s.
Yeah. This was coming.
And here it is in 2026.
All of these people think that tech is going to make us safer.
Yeah. And this is telling us what's going to happen.
And if I'm alive, I will make more money than ever.
But then the robots will come and take it away from me.
We have other robots.
Yeah, the robots.
We need to hire a robot for his next birthday and bring it in here.
I should have to kick him in the stomach.
Beat down by a robot.
It's so crazy.
Like, like Tesla literally ripped out the assembly lines
that make the model S and the model X and they are installed.
They're there robot line for their optimist robot.
Please. This actually happened in California.
The Fremont plant.
Play it again so we can just enjoy the funniest part about it.
To me is the blue wig.
Like, how do we make it look fun?
Yes. Give it a blue wing.
Make it look harmless.
And I'll tell you the other thing that really offends me about this video.
The kids. Boom.
The other kids laugh right now.
I mean, they're cracking up.
This kid, watch him.
He sits on the ground.
He never gets back up.
He never recovers and everybody just keeps going.
They just leave him there.
Life is cheap over there.
Yes, I've been to China.
You realize this is I guarantee
Mr. Musk does not have a robot in his household.
There is no way he's going to have a robot in his place.
But it's not for me, but good for you.
What if this is like the revolution,
but the robots just kick kids for some reason?
They can't take us over.
They just kick kids on playgrounds and at birthday parties.
And that's the only thing that really happens.
That wouldn't be so bad.
But imagine how frequently something of this nature is OK.
Or you get a smart kid who reprograms the robot to do a Columbine.
This is going to happen overlooking the obvious real problem is going to be these
the men, probably many of them in our audience who buy the sex robots.
Oh, you know, that's what goes wrong with the sex robot.
Snip or a circumcision or fire.
Ah, and then and then what are you doing?
Cool, Zuckerman. Medical hall.
Yeah, you can open up a whole robot division here.
I'm going to be the first.
You're going to be the first. I've been saying it.
Well, again, if you have a robot that does shit like this,
you want to bring on to the show.
We would love to have your humanoid robots here to do demonstrations.
They can dance. They could kick a kid.
We have plenty of kids.
Kick me. I really want that.
But you got to put the blue wig on it.
I really want them walking around and start writing the movies.
Robots in the hood.
We're going to have lots of robot murdering.
Dinging the cars, Zuckerman.
It'll be crazy. Oh, yeah. Come and kick the cars.
Yep. Let the robot choose.
Which car just starts kicking and dinging.
Fuck. Could you imagine?
There's always a guy like with a little controller right off the side.
These things aren't even operating on their own.
That's why it retreated after it tried to kill the kid.
Anyway, let's do dear Zuckerman.
These are real dear Abby letters.
That instead of your answering, Zuckerman is going to answer.
And I think he does a better job of answering them.
So I think real advice because we're not trying to make it nice for everybody.
We're just going to tell you like it is or he's going. All right.
Here we go. OK. Zuckerman, letter number one.
Dear Zuckerman, I want to have sex with my landlord.
I'm a woman who lives in an owner occupied building and the owner
who lives there happens to be newly divorced and kind of hot in an older guy way.
We flirt a lot, which started innocently when I first moved in,
but seems to have ramped up a bit.
If I take things further, am I ruining my life or am I unlocking a possible
pathway to domestic bliss and possible free rent?
If things get more serious, Zuckerman.
Well, I think you've identified all of these, all of the issues
and all of the pain points and potential benefits of getting it on with your landlord.
You know, it's a general rule.
One doesn't get it on with their landlord.
It's not a good idea, but I think you've identified what could be good about this.
Domestic bliss and free rent is in your future and you're going to be
in the God's oldest profession. Have at it. Have at it, lady.
So you're saying she becomes a paid dater as they say these days, a prostitute.
It's a it's a transactional relationship.
It's a situation ship that has benefits for everybody and she's identified
that if it doesn't work out, you really can't get away from, you know, is a problem.
Make it a bad idea. Of course. Of course.
Johnny, I'm just what I'm thinking is I know a lot of people that like, you know,
they they they are landlords, but they need the money. Right.
You know what I mean? So like, I don't think he's suddenly going to like find
more money, you know, like it's not it's not a good planner.
Like she really thinks he's hot. Yeah.
And wants to have sex with him. Yeah. Great.
If she thinks that that's free rent, I think she's mistaken.
That type of guy.
Like you've seen like the weird Craigslist at the guy looking for a female roommate.
That's different.
No, this guy accepted it. Isn't he that weird creep?
Recently divorced creep means he's suddenly very broke.
I don't think he's going to cross that line.
But then he would need the money over the sex.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
OK, he needs the money. Yeah, I agree.
He wants he's got he needs money and sex.
And she's she's going to get taken advantage of.
So he might be getting sex.
All right. He might he be divorced.
Wait a second.
Well, you want to stand if he's willing to have sex with one tenant.
He's willing to have sex with any tenant.
This is going to the whole building is going to be in revolt.
It's going to it's going to be a brothel and lady.
You know, you need sex to what it seems.
You you you like the whole thing.
You're and you're thinking about this very
transactionally free rep domestic bliss.
You want to give it a shot?
You want to try to succeed where no one succeeded before?
Go for it.
What if she gets along with them?
They're dating and then she moves in with him.
That's how the world goes around.
That's how he charges her for it.
And then and then they get divorced because, you know,
and then the whole pattern starts are low.
I mean, if she doesn't you're saying, do it or not do it.
That's all she go ahead.
Is she's already I mean, this is really dumb.
That you're even thinking about this is dumb and go for it.
And it's going to be disaster.
How about the writing into a newspaper about it
instead of getting actual advice?
Letter number two, dear Zuckerman, I have a brother in law
who lives out of state and stays in our guest room frequently.
When he comes, we spend the first 45 minutes
rearranging the guest room furniture
because he likes the bed to face west.
Currently, it faces north as do the nightstands and dresser.
I accommodate him, but frankly, it's getting old.
Zuckerman, must I allow him to rearrange it the way he wants?
He's only here for 24 hours at a time.
She actually engaged in this shit.
You want to come stay here for free?
It's like you don't rearrange the hotel, do you?
Yeah. Right.
So, you know, those days of rearranging the hotel
like Keith Moon, nailing the furniture to the ceiling
that went out with the 70s.
She never should have accommodated this in the first place.
She should say to him,
she should have said, no, with yourself, yourself.
I mean, so dumb.
What kind of a nup?
I've met a lot of nup bags on my time on earth.
Yeah. I've never met anyone who has to sleep north.
Like, for real, I've heard about it.
But have you?
He needs to go to a hotel and get the right room.
Why do you suspect he needs his furniture facing a certain direction?
He's insane. That's why.
It is why.
So he should be in the house at all.
No, he's going to end up killing her.
But do you think it's like a power move on his part?
It's a power move.
And he's also one of these psychos
that thinks about the north pole and the magnetic.
Whatever and all that.
And and and she's clearly not all that right in the head either
that she even did this once.
I mean, they found each other and then she's wondering.
They know they're brother in law.
They're that she accommodated this that she considered doing.
It's insane. Yeah.
Makes no sense.
I think they're both bad people.
Dear Zuckerman, the very common one here, dear Zuckerman,
I have a neighbor across the street with five cars
for our parked on the street.
One constantly parks right in front of my house.
I have asked them kindly with politely worded notes on the windshield
to please all caps, not park in front of our house.
That wasn't politely worded.
Even though it's a public street,
I don't think it is a neighborly thing to do.
Was I wrong to request they stop this practice, Zuckerman?
You know, the parking wars go back to the very beginning of the car.
Parking wars are so she's either got to
just ignore it because he is allowed to park there.
I wouldn't park in front of my neighbor's house,
but I have neighbors that do do that.
I just, you know, I'm so overjoyed right now
where I live that I have so much parking, right?
You know, and and but you never this is never going to be a happy situation.
Why does it bother us so much
when someone parks in front of our house?
You know, it's because we feel as part of our territory
with territorial creatures.
You know, when I when I lived in New York,
I didn't care about people parking in front of my apartment.
I thought I used to park my Jeep on the street
wherever there was an open spot.
But then one day, one day, I got an open spot
right in front of the apartment building and it felt better.
It did. It felt better.
And I was like, oh, this is cool.
Imagine if I could keep that spot.
It just feels you're right.
It's just a feeling.
And this is so common.
That's at odds with the law, which is completely different,
which is that isn't your property.
It's just, you know, it's one of these social contractings.
You park in front of your own house. Right.
And when I lived in the Hollywood Hills, we're over where we met.
Yeah, I did have a problem with a neighbor parking.
And remember, my door was like three feet from the curb.
Yeah. And I did argue with my neighbor.
He was older and he got mad at me in return.
And and he got so angry, he was screaming and farting at you the same time.
And then that really was the argument.
And we never argued when you guys are yelling at each other.
And what are you yelling at him?
What is he yelling at you?
I was telling him, you know,
somebody was having a party in the neighborhood on this particular night.
And I knew it was going to go down.
So I strategically put garbage pails in front of my door.
So when I got back, I could I could have a place to park.
Yes. And he moved my garbage pails and parked in front of my door.
So you confronted him.
And I happened to be walking back
from where he should have been walking back from.
And I said his name was Bernie.
And I said, Bernie, you know, I put the pails there for me.
Yeah. And he started giving
he was a little guy like five foot three.
And he was giving me the finger, calling me a son of a bitch.
Oh, boy. And then we started getting into.
And I said, you want to yell back at Bernie?
I'm a son of a bitch.
I'm a son of a bitch. You're a son of a bitch.
And then he got really mad, calling me a son of a bitch and started farting.
Like, what did he say?
And then he was screaming and his wife was trying to hold him
so he didn't have a heart attack because he was older and she was a little younger.
And then he just started to go
and farting. And did you laugh?
Oh, at that point, I just thought he's going to shit himself.
So basically what I'm going to tell you, Ferrison,
yes, he won the argument with me by farting.
I couldn't continue to argue with this poor old man
who who he was flatulent.
He was incontinent, fart wise.
That's a good way to solve this problem.
That's good advice.
And then I never talked to him again because every time I looked at him,
I just thought about a little old man farting in anger.
That was not fart in anger.
It's fantastic. I love it.
Last, well, this one's kind of related to what you just said.
Dear Zuckerman, my mother keeps telling her friends that I'm happy to take them
for rides in my 300 and 392 charger.
And my mom's here for this story.
She never did that.
Many of them are in their seventies or eighties, these people.
And I have cloth seats.
You see where this is going.
There's already been an incident that required cleaning products.
What do so people are urinating,
pooping and peeing in the car seats.
What do I do, Zuckerman?
I know I should just say no, but many of them are lonely, old and bored.
They're taking rides for these old friends of the mom
and they're pooping and peeing in the seats. Wow.
Well, you got. OK.
Did he tell his mother that that that the seat was soiled
and that he would appreciate that's what he's asking you?
What should he do?
He should go tell his mother, mom.
Don't don't suggest it again.
Invite me into tell him about the car.
But don't ask for the rides unless you want to pay
for for the reconditioning of the pee pee poo poo seats.
So there's lots of burnies out there.
There's lots of burnies.
And then and the next move is you say to the guy,
you say to the guy, yes, I can.
You know what, I the seat was just detailed and it's soaking wet.
Yeah, I can't have you sit in it.
Or my insurance company told me I can't take people your age in the car.
They make up some real advice.
Well, I would this happens to me a lot.
I don't know what you should in the car.
No, the other people.
Oh, my dad loves like cars and see what you've got this week.
Could you give him a ride?
I understand that part.
Yeah. But so I the other part happens.
So we see. No, no, no, no, no.
So I but what you do is you just you just flake.
You just figure out a way to like, yeah, totally.
And then they forget about it.
But there, you know, the gym we used to go to, what was it?
The fitness factory.
There was a guy, this great guy that used to talk to all the time.
It's in his 90s.
He was lifting weights there.
We called him tree because he was as old as a tree.
Right. And he was like 63 went to Harvard.
He told me his whole story.
One day one day I had to give him a ride home.
Could you give me a ride home?
I drove him up to the Hollywood Hills near where we live.
And the following week, he wasn't there anymore.
I was like, what happened to tree?
And he's like, we had to ask him not to come in.
And I'm like, why?
He goes, you know, when he was lifting the weights on the machines
and he was struggling, he let a little loose.
And he let a little loose.
And he goes, why do you look like that?
And I go, oh, shit, I just gave that guy a ride home in my Land Rover.
Yeah. Tree. Tree.
He had some sap.
He dropped some shaft.
I still have some dropping.
Is that going to happen to us?
Yeah, it will.
It will. But, you know, you just have to say that the manufacturers
will not allow non-family members.
I just I just always say yes and always weasel out of it.
It's much easier.
All they want to hear is yes.
That's all they want to hear.
Well, there's our tears.
I mean, people just can't talk to their mother.
And this is funny because your mother's here.
She is. She is.
She's telling your mother.
She's ignored her the whole show.
Yeah. There's not.
No, she can come up and say hi if she wants.
Come over and say hi.
Turn on the monitor, Jack.
She is good.
She says she's good.
Come say hi to everybody and take us out of there.
This this piece of crap has a real mother.
She's still want to come on.
She doesn't want to. She's very lovely.
Very easy.
What question would you ask my mom?
You can have one question and I'll spit it into the mic.
Is she OK?
What is the worst thing he did as a child, as a young person?
What's the worst thing?
Tell me something really horrendous and embarrassing that he did.
Don't don't protect her.
Code it.
See, she's going to protect you.
You are not telling the truth.
And she's saying she doesn't remember.
That's a real mother.
That is a real mother.
She is a crypt.
I just want to say that she is a crypt of secrets.
I just want to say that he was a bad wetter or a poopy pants.
I was neither.
How do you know?
You know, you remember your buck tooth duck toad lisp.
I had enough going on that was going wrong, but I didn't wet.
Wait, wait, I heard he he was crippled as a child.
There was something wrong with his legs.
Look at her. She doesn't remember.
I was duck toad and had to wear.
She's talking about special shoes.
There you go.
You had to say special shoes.
All right, forget it.
So let's just so you want to wear special shoes.
That's awesome.
You had to wear special shoes.
So you had.
What did you have scurvy?
Your rickets are already.
I just want to say to your mom that we're all huge fans of Wally.
We got Wally.
Thanks very much.
Special shoes.
Do you have them?
Do you still?
Do you have the special?
That's right.
That's why I'm a good tennis player.
I wore special shoes.
Do you still have them?
Where did you have to get them in those days?
We'll see you next week on Spikes Party, everybody.
Bye.
About this episode
Rivian’s smaller R2 takes center stage: the hosts drove it in snowy Utah, compare its footprint and dual-motor output to Model Y and R1S, and break down range differences by tire choice. Pricing and lease estimates follow, then the conversation pivots to Audi’s Valari—an alleged mid-engine, V8-plus-electric hybrid—sparking debate over whether it’s truly Audi or basically a rebadged Lamborghini. The episode also touches on Porsche “halo” rumors and a few high-end option/pricing tangents.
Spike and Zuckerman critique the Audi Nuvolari, Jonny drives the new Rivian R2, and a $605K Lamborghini Temerario gets its options bill exposed. Also: Beverly Hills is coming for your exhaust, a robot kicks a child, and Zuckerman settles a parking dispute via flatulence.

Jonny just got back from driving the Rivian R2 — a dual-motor, 656-hp SUV with Tesla Model Y dimensions, 330 miles of range, and a starting price around $47K. It climbs mountains. It's also 2,000 lbs lighter than you'd expect.
Then the boys break down the Audi Nuvolari, a surprise $700K, 987-hp mid-engine supercar with a Lamborghini Temerario hybrid drivetrain and styling that the guys compare to a WWII German tank and a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots helmet. Jonny says it looks better in person. The jury's still out.
Speaking of Temerario, there's a Verde Mercurius example sitting right in the SCR garage. The guys play a guessing game on the options sheet. Base price: $387K. Final tally: $605K. That's $217,000 in carbon fiber, green paint, and red accents.
Elsewhere: Beverly Hills PD is cracking down on loud exhausts and their first target was a Porsche Carrera GT. Bentley is teasing a new electric SUV on a Porsche Cayenne EV platform. A Chinese humanoid robot kicks a kid at a demo. And Zuckerman handles listener mail involving a hot divorced landlord, a furniture-rearranging brother-in-law, and a neighbor named Bernie whose ultimate weapon was biological.
