>> It's been a minute.
>> It's been a minute since we were up in

>> I don't think we've all been together
since that time. We had a great time.
Great show. I got a really nice uh
letter from the Pebble Beach folks.
>> Yeah, Cindy sent out a really nice
letter to me as well.
>> She did. She's so great.
>> Well,
>> you know, our mission uh to inform,
inspire, and entertain, which you were a
part of. Entertain definitely. I don't
know. We inspired anybody or inform.
>> Definitely didn't inform.
>> I'll wait for Mr. Zuckerman to get off
his phone.
>> I have It's a business day, but go
ahead.
>> You can't in the middle of the show. You
can't disrespect the show. It is. We've
heard about it from the listeners.
>> I don't care. Uh
>> oh.
>> Oh, wait.
>> Do you think Zuckerman could just engage
with his ADHD adult brain for just 45
minutes while we're doing this? People
want to visit one friend.
>> We're already inspiring and informing
right now. Anyway, we helped raise over
$4 million for the Pebble Beach
Foundation. Nice.
>> How about that?
>> We did a show.
We did a show. I mean, we didn't make
the $4 million.
>> Okay. Okay.
>> No, it says right here, "Your
dedication, investment of time. You also
helped us raise $4 million for the
Pebble Beach Foundation and its family
of charities." So, thank you.
>> How about that? $4 million. Just like
that.
Boo. I'm waiting for you to get to where
I where I thought you would go with it,
which is any minute.
>> Give it to me.
>> Where's my piece?
Yeah.
>> I want a little taste.
>> What is this? Wet my beak.
>> It's like doing a show.
>> Wet your beak. Let's go like this. Leave
it with the beak.
>> With two drunk uncles. That's what we
should be called. Spike and two drunk
uncles.
>> Yeah. And fun ones.
>> Next year is the 75th anniversary of
Pebble Beach. And they want to do
something special for us.
>> Oh.
>> And you know, it was the first time too
that we had everybody there. It was It
was the three of us. Matt was there,
albeit a little stoned, and Jerry showed
up.
>> No, we've done that before. There's been
We've had all five.
>> No, but the year before we had
>> The year before we did not,
>> but apparently something that we did was
It was good.
>> Yeah.
>> And uh that show will be available soon
on our new Patreon that's coming out.
And uh that's going to be good. We'll
talk about that next week. But uh but
they were super psyched in 75 years.
They were like, "What do you guys want
to do?
>> Can I appear by hologram?
Just say AI.
>> Yeah.
>> AI Zuckerber. No problem with that.
>> Yeah.
>> Make you a little bigger and crazier
than normal and
>> and it just says things.
>> Yeah. Or I mean we could be part of the
concord in some way. I mean we
>> judge
>> we're like a virus at this place. This
wellrespected
buttoned up old money
>> and then us. This is an opportunity for
us to exploit our
>> I really like the uh maybe we could play
on the the Jewish Avengers angle.
>> All right.
But what we do is we combined remember
we had um who is our who was our actor
Fred that did that Hitler movie.
>> Jeremy Pivot.
>> Pivot. Yeah.
>> And then we
>> I don't think it was called a Hitler
movie, but we will recast for a Hitler
to judge the pre-war cars
>> at Pebble Beach. What do you think?
>> I think we just got
>> I think we're not invited anymore.
>> Wow. We only raised $20,000 last in the
next year because of that.
>> Okay. Sorry.
>> You remember what happened when you
mentioned Hitler live in the room?
>> I fell like a thought, but it doesn't
change my literally heard the air.
>> Yeah.
>> Go right out of the tent just like this.
It went like this. It went
>> You can't you can't do that here.
>> I like what I like.
Okay, let's continue on. But while we
were kind of living a sheltered life, I
think in the Concord, Jalopnik posted
this story. It turned into a zoo in
Monterey Car Week seized 22 arrests, 199
citations, and one seized ghost gun.
>> I witnessed one of the arrests. I didn't
talk to you on Sunday.
>> This was fantastic. What did you see?
Okay. I'm walking back to parking lot
11. Yeah.
>> Okay. For after the whole big show on
Sunday. very large, very drunk man
going, "I'm just trying to get my wife
to her car." Okay.
>> And three cops going, "Sir, that's an
open container. You cannot cross this
street. I'm just trying to get my wife
back. Let me just take my wife home."
And then I walk past him. That's going
on. And then I just hear the wonderful
sound of shattering glass, which was my
cutest spin to watch three cops trying
to take this 6'6 in guy down who was
really drunk. And it was great cuz they
were really struggling to like handcuff.
>> Our show ended at noon. So this guy,
this is Sunday. This is Sunday. Sunday
is about 5:30 p.m. like the end of the
show. And uh it it took a lot. And then
of course the wife who's equally drunk
walks into the street turns and starts
screaming bloody murder at the cops. It
was so good. It
>> sounds better than the show.
>> Right in front of the the Mercedes
Maybach.
>> I guess he was one of seven arrests.
Then there were 137 traffic stops, which
>> I mean that sounds normal. there. I
thought there were a lot more police
officers than normal. There were a lot
more Lamborghini guys and a lot more
craziness and a lot more hoonigan
hoonery and hooning like everywhere.
Like we were noticing there were all
these car shows going on in the woods
outside of all the hotels which is wild.
>> Yeah.
>> 13 vehicles towed doesn't seem like a
big big deal.
>> One driving while under the influence.
That's your guy. 320 parking citations.
One arrest involved a 31-year-old man
who allegedly smashed the windows of two
McLarens with another come after it
stopped for a possible DUI that turned
in the previous mentioned ghost gun.
>> Nice.
>> Someone brought their ghost guns to
Monteray.
>> Nice.
>> 15 arrests, 15 total.
>> Reportedly related to outstanding
warrants. So, so Ratamak was there.
Reckless driving, driving under the
influence, unlawful possession of a
concealed firearm, and sexual battery.
>> Is this business as usual for Pebble
Beach, and we're just now reporting it,
or has it changed?
>> I think that's that's not 15 arrests out
of like I mean, how many people show up?
>> 100,000.
>> I don't think this is business as usual.
I think it's I think things are
disintegrating and well and and we
didn't even get to the amount of ladies
of the night that were at the Spanish
bay which I had not seen before. I
thought that was
>> and you were in communication with one
of them.
>> He was not in communication. Now wait
you can't just drop a bomb like that
without explaining what happened. Let me
let me back up and set the table about
what happened with the alleged
I walked into it. Prostitute you and I.
So, right around I can't believe we're
already here the beginning of
>> I can believe we're here.
>> And this is just making Jalopnik's case
by the way, but we're at the Spanish
Bay. It's 6 o'clock Friday night, right?
And we like to go down there because we
like to go have a uh we like to have a
ginger beer, but but a lot of folks
getting ready for dinner, getting ready
for their night out. And it's a scene
and you and I had a meeting with someone
to talk about something that we were
working on. And we sat down at one of
those little hotel lobby coffee tables
with four chairs around like a couch and
and a chair. Zuckermanman at the head of
the table, me and this other fellow
we're meeting with, and there's an empty
chair there that soon is occupied by a
middle-aged woman in a short dress.
Right.
>> Right.
>> Who sits down like she's visiting us and
with us, but she's not. But it's a hotel
lobby and it's just like whatever. It's
like an airport lounge. Someone sits
there, whatever. We have this meeting
for what, say, an hour
>> at least. Yeah,
>> at least an hour. We're chatting. She
stays for the whole thing. I noticed
she's eyeing that very watch that he's
wearing right now.
>> That looks a cheap watch.
>> Magnet,
>> Johnny.
>> That's not a cheap watch, Johnny. This
is a cheap watch. That looks like an
expensive.
>> That's roofy bait was what that is.
>> Yes.
>> At 6263 gold. Is that what I'm looking
at?
>> Yes, sir.
>> Okay.
>> I like hooker magnet. I I'm wearing I'm
wearing a chef that's repellent,
>> which she's not looking at. She's not
looking at.
>> Anyway,
>> we we end our meeting. This woman gets
up around the same time, hands Zuckerman
a folded piece of paper. Yes. And on
that paper, Zuckermanman, what does it
say?
>> I have I have been watching you. You are
mesmerizing.
>> I was handed No way. She left out the
She left out the part. Your watch is
mesmerizing. I was mesmerizing. And if
you want to have any fun this weekend,
please call me phone number with a phone
number. And
>> so she handed you this and then walked
out.
>> Yes.
>> Okay. You know, I had seen her earlier
before you sat down talking to two other
>> similars
>> similar ladies and talking to the uh
waiter who also seemed a bit of a
player,
>> you know,
>> who was running the show
>> and they all seem to be coordinating.
But it but it struck me as odd behavior,
you know, just because, you know, it
just didn't look like what was happening
normally in this hotel.
>> Even if they tried to dress, it wasn't
quite
>> You don't see single women walking.
That's why you don't see single women
walking around. You see a bunch of
>> car event.
>> It's a car event. One, you see a bunch
of doofus old white guys who have too
much money and too young of a
girlfriend. Right. Right. And then there
are female journalists and stuff, but
everybody's with somebody. Like you'll
see like the the the PR team from Aston
Martin which will be all women
>> traveling packs.
>> These women were definitely talking
together then separating and looking for
dudes
>> and our waiter. I don't think he ever
waited a day in his life. I think he
purchased this position so he could run
the floor.
>> You used a word to describe him.
>> Yes. A pimp. And and the pimp. And at a
certain point he took our drink orders
and 20 minutes later we didn't have a
drink. Spike got up to go to the bar to
get her drinks and he said to he said to
you, "Sit down. I'm trying to help you."
>> And there was a certain threat.
>> I didn't know what that meant at that
point.
>> Sit down before I punch your punch you
in the head.
>> I'm trying to help you. I meet girls to
your table or whatever it was.
>> And then whenever he bought something,
he didn't place it down as a waiter. He
just handed it like he was handed you a
plate. Right.
>> So anyway, let's get back Let's get back
to the girls. So to experiment, you
know, I said, "I think those are
professionals. They're sex workers." And
Zar said, "There's only one way to find
out. Let's test it. Let's see. I'm going
to ask them how much."
>> Don't do that.
>> They got your number. So he goes,
"Purely as an experiment, let's just see
and we'll see to prove the point." My
son and his friends were there. They
were laughing at all. They were dying.
They're like They were like, "Do it."
And so what what did you text and what
happened after that?
>> Okay. I texted and the response was $350
for 20 minutes.
>> Really?
>> Yeah. $550 for an hour?
>> Oh, I didn't know she sent you.
>> 350 for 20 or 550 is a deal.
>> Well, I don't understand. I honestly
don't understand the math, you know,
like deal, right?
>> That was like it was like the value meal
was the hour. I don't really understand
how that worked out, but it was 350 for
20 minutes. Okay.
>> Okay. Had I been really engaged in this,
I would have said, "How much for one
minute?" Just cuz I just want to see you
leave.
>> So, so this is more I mean, this is kind
of making Jelopnik's point that this is
more like something that would happen in
Las Vegas.
>> Well, hang on. This this happens even
No, no, no. I've been going again. I've
been going to this event since the '90s,
and I've not seen this before. I will
say I will say Spanish Bay is an odd
place, but I've definitely been in like
London like at the Ritz where
>> Okay, that's long.
>> But you're you're you're told like you
know if you if you like her just go to
the front desk and request extra
there were two other price points.
>> Yes.
>> There was the there was the allnight
price point which broke $1,000
>> and then there was the you can do
everything without any protection price.
How much was that? That was $5,000.
And and I thought,
>> are you kidding me? That was in the
price list.
>> That was in the price list. And I was
thinking,
>> camera shaking, poor young man, Cameron,
look what's happening.
>> And I was like, who in God's name would
pony up that kind of money to get to
catch something that would stay with
them forever?
>> Well, what's going to happen is you're
going to pay five grand and you're going
to lose your watch and we're going to
find you in a bathtub. But if you'd like
to order a prostitute,
It brings us our first ad.
>> Better sex
>> with our new ad coach.
>> Oh
>> yeah, that's good. Zuckermanman. Better
sex
>> instead of better health.
>> It kind of does make Jalopnik's point
that I I sensed it was a little rougher
and a little different up there.
>> I had a blast for the record.
>> Okay. I thought that that was
>> that's not what I'm saying. We had fun.
We love the Concord, but it seemed
different, you know, and and the Concord
itself was not bad, but outside of it,
there seemed to be a little more of a
dangerous element. Vanish Bay turned
into Time Square or Sunset Boulevard
circa 1983.
>> And and by the way, we'll talk about it
later, but we're we're moving to the
lodge after this. I I can't deal with
what happened with the traffic and
everything anymore.
>> Um, let me talk about Racet Deck. Over
two decades ago, Race Deck was invented.
Cost effective, durable, and just the
greatest stuff you can put on your
garage floor. Oh, they got a new picture
and a new BMW. Look at that.
>> 1600. I took I was down at my hanger
taking lovely pictures of my race deck.
I'll send one to you, Cameron, so you
can put it up there. But I've really
lost my mind over race deck. Lots of my
friends are getting it. We haven't
gotten you sorted out, Johnny, have we?
I
>> I got to clean up my garage. It's a
whole This is what happens.
>> It's never Thank you. Thank you. Yeah,
it's never
>> You put in the race deck, the other
stuff falls into place very quickly.
That's what happens.
>> I'm with Zuckerman.
>> It's modular. It stalls in just hours. A
friend of mine called me to get some. My
guy who takes care of my stuff at Santa
Monica airport was going to do the
install but couldn't. He calls uh the
next day. He said, "I I just did it
myself." M
>> and it looked great. It was perfect.
That's how easy it goes in. Um well, not
chip, peel, or stain. 33 patents are the
product line. 20 styles. Our friend
Jorgen Mer, who was up there, Monteray,
um he's got a Ford GTD, too. M
>> he started this company and uh you got
to check it out cuz you can really uh do
some really make your garage look great.
Rice.com is where you need to go. Use my
code spoke spike 911 for 15% off and
free shipping. Spike 911 15% off free
shipping. And uh when you're calling for
an escort,
>> try spike 911.
See if we're grind apparently.
>> We've got so much stuff to get to in
this show. So much stuff. There was
more. Oh, you know, also Adrain Concour
coming up in a couple weeks. We're there
doing a live show. We got to figure out
our travel plans. I'll talk to you about
that after
>> September or October.
>> The end of September, beginning of
October. So, it's October 2nd, I think.
Somewhere around there.
>> This off my head. I don't
>> But just buy tickets to the Concord, the
Audrey Concord, and you're going to get
tickets to see us, I guess, on Friday.
And we're going to make an appearance
Saturday on the car show. That's going
to be super fun. Never seen that event.
Our East Coast Porsche friends are all
going to be there. I'm excited about it.
>> I'm so excited.
>> Well, we were right again. Two weeks
ago, we said there was going to be a uh
flocked bow slant nose. Porsche, check
this video out.
>> Testing right after we talked about it.
I guess Porsche decided, why don't we
get out and test this thing?
>> Now, correct me if I'm wrong, Zuckerman,
>> but that looks like a slant nose.
>> Absolutely.
>> Uh why don't you Yeah, let's stop it
right there. Stop it right on the
headlights there. Tell us what you think
of this thing. A little closer. A little
closer. So we can see
>> I can tell you those big big vents under
the eyes. That means GT2 RS. That's huge
breathing.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Cuz you're making tons and
tons of power. So
>> would you buy this Suckerman? Do you
like this? You're a fan of slant noses,
right?
>> Absolutely. And I and I think it
actually looks pretty decent. It It's
got a very tough, very aggressive look.
And it's going to be a very aggressive
car. And if you notice, the wing is very
unusual, too. The uprights. The
uprightes have a much different shape to
them.
>> Mhm.
>> Oh yeah.
>> And that's that is a lot of wings.
>> That looks like the the 993 uh track
wing, whatever that was called. You
know, the big the double wing kind of
looks like that shape.
>> It's not the goo. It's not Was it goose
necks or what were the other swan neck?
>> Yeah, swan neck.
>> What do you guys What do you think? Are
they going to do a GT2 RS and this
special version? Both.
>> GT2 RS might be the slant nose,
>> right?
>> It might be. Yeah, maybe.
>> I mean, those those bus size air
intakes, those are, you know, where's
your GT2 RS? It's blocked. But it has
those same humongo intakes on the front
cuz it needs to breathe harder. Uh, and
and I I think we know that the GT2 is
also going to be a hybrid, so it's even
more cooling. Um, so yeah, it's going to
be big time.
>> So, you think it's possible they just
this is the GT2 RS that it's a special
edition 80s tribute? And if you recall,
there was a there was a slant nose for
the last GT2 and it was track only. And
it would be nice if they delivered one
to the public.
>> That's right. That's right.
>> Well, I heard I heard for sure they're
making this right around the same time I
heard from the same person about the GT3
cab.
>> And notice it doesn't have the giant
hood extractor like the GT3 RS. Yeah.
>> Uh probably cuz it's where a bunch of
hybrid componentry is. So, you know,
you're not going to have the same crazy
downforce as a GT3 RS, but big power.
Big power. Of course, PDK. Yeah. Yeah.
>> But big big I mean, I'm big big like 900
horsepowers,
>> you know. The last 690, right? The last
one was 690.
>> You th000 the benchmark. No, because
that's the thing like like you look at
like the um the Corvette, the ZR1X, the
fax machine, you know, 1250 horsepower
and it beat the GT3 RS by like actually
it didn't even beat that. It beat the
Ford GTD by a second. So Porsches are
always able to do a lot more with less
power just for a lot of reasons. So I
the last one was 690 horse, right?
>> I'm thinking it' be like 8
>> 10 to 830 something like that. that will
kill everything there is. That's enough
to like destroy all other cars because I
mean the last VT2RS is still one of the
best cars ever made.
>> I'm not sure I like at least in this,
you know, test mule um livery. I don't
not crazy about the front of it. Can you
just play it again? Well, there's a
little bit of a Nissan 300, you know,
super kind of a thing in the knack of
dust ducks are a little bit Ferrari,
>> but I was never a slant-nose fan save
for one continental orange one that I
saw somewhere in Europe on Instagram and
I lost my mind over that one.
>> But maybe maybe Continental Orange is
the way to go. Maybe you do that. But
yeah, it's cool no matter what.
>> Well, we just picked our color.
>> Oh, we're getting one.
>> Yes, Continental Orange. We've got cars
on top of cars, Zuckermanman. In fact,
we have our 718 Spider RS right here.
Should we talk about that? You've had it
for a week.
>> Love.
>> Let's break a camera off and talk about
it. And here it is, Zuckerman. So, we
picked this up last uh Saturday,
>> correct?
>> Last week, the Porsche Experience Center
with our friends uh Charlie who was
there. Uh we didn't have our friends uh
Larry and Mike from Porsche Clearwater
visiting. They just couldn't get out
because, you know, this thing got
delayed and we had to kind of just
target a Saturday. But we love Porsche
Clearwater.
We always have a great time. They sent
us some really not nice notes. We sent
them a lot of video.
Can't recommend them enough. If you're
in the Florida area or even the
California area, I sell lots of cars in
here in California.
>> What's this color?
>> This is a ratium green.
>> This is ratio. Okay.
>> This is um a beautiful old 60s uh 356
color.
>> Yeah. Um, we didn't do any track time,
did we in it? No. James, my son, came
this time. He went around the track and
uh Charles uh down there has said,
"Suckerman, we can come back anytime we
want. Go around the track and have a
couple dinners." We've been collecting
dinners. The Porsche Experience Center,
you know, the food is good.
>> It is.
>> It's so good.
>> Yeah.
>> I
know. We forgot. But we're gonna
Zuckerman and I are going to plan a day,
Charles, and we'll get down there to the
Portrait Experience Center in LA. And if
you're near one of those, you got to
check it out. It is a great day. It was
filled with not only people, but a lot
of our uh uh viewers and listeners,
>> right? Cuz our our viewers and listeners
are not actually people.
>> No, they are. It was great. Everywhere
I, you know, I was chatting and they
were like, "Oh my god, are you guys
picking up the 718?" Anyway, here it is.
Zuckerman, as as is the custom, I
generally drive down in the Bronco. And
Zuckerman takes the car for the week and
he's going to tell us uh what he thinks.
about this spec and about this car.
>> I'm going to tell you I love the car.
>> Really?
>> Yep. Big big win.
>> What do you like?
>> First of all, your color choice. That
was your choice.
>> Well, I always run the color by you to
make sure
>> and I generally all I really ever say is
I just want comfortable seats and this
time my wish came true and it changes
the experience so totally for me.
>> Let's take a look at those comfort
seats. They're great.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. And you have all the lateral
support that you would ever need without
the pain. It's it's a terrific
combination. It it great support, no
pain. Uh what I I love the color. I
think the color really shows on this
car. Fantastic. And you can see the
reaction that you get from people going
down the street. I think that you nailed
it with the with the white soccer hood
with with the with the black stripes.
And what also nails it are the shiny the
shiny lighter colored wheels that you
chose along with the black brake
calipers. So, I'm in love with the look
of this car. Also, uh the black mirrors.
Fantastic. So, I'm in love with the look
of this car.
>> Can I ask one question if you must? Have
either of you put the roof up yet?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. We took it down.
>> We took it down. We put it up. I I had
the press car for a week, so I did have
>> It's a contraction. I had to go look at
the Matt Farah video and do it. But I I
I enjoy it's like a puzzle. Like I enjoy
taking it on and off and it's it's very
analog and it's it wasn't
>> it's not easy. You can put it down by
yourself. If you put it up, get a second
person to help me.
>> There's a shot of those wheels. It is it
is a bit of a process and it it
collapses some under the hood or the
cowl there and then some in a little bag
in the back. But I figured it out after
playing tennis in the press car by
myself. Like these two guy these two
guys were watching me like what is this
idiot doing? It took 15 minutes of trial
and error and then I went, "Oh, I got
it." And it was really satisfying and I
kind of appreciated that there was that
thing to do with this that gave
something.
>> I don't think that you're going to do it
a lot. I think that once the top is off,
you leave it off or you leave it on. It
looks pretty cool either way. Uh,
>> I have a dust cover for it, so we can
just cover it open right wherever it's
stored.
>> I've had an opportunity to drive this
car.
>> It is. It handles amazingly well.
>> It does everything amazingly well. Do a
little part of me says that a stick
would enhance my particular appreciation
of this car, but I can totally
understand why it's a PDK. The PDK is
excellent. It It is an excellent PDK.
The size of the car is just spot-on. It
really highlights how excessively big a
a 992 is for most for most uses. This is
perfect size, perfect car for slicing,
dicing, and cutting traffic. It has
incredible power. It is very, very
linear. You can downshift, upshift. You
can play with it every way you want. And
it's glued to the road. Absolutely glued
to the road. This is a great car. That's
a couple of cars there. Look, the ST in
the in the background there. Oh, man.
So, here's how the plan Z works.
Zuckerman drove
>> the Spider RS in and I drove the ST in.
And we're going to switcheroo for the
weekend.
>> And I have not driven the ST in months.
>> It still only has hundreds of miles.
>> That's right. And and and I really need
this I really need this comparison
because right now I could drive this the
718 all the time. Well, that's the goal.
That is the goal.
>> I'd be curious which one you like
better. I bet you you wind up liking the
Spider RS better than the ST.
>> The ST we, you know, I was talking to
the Experience Center guys and they were
saying ST owners have been driving their
cars less, not because they don't drive
well, but because the the weight of the
values of them weighs on you a little
bit. And I I'll be honest, I felt that.
Normally I don't react to that, but
every time there were many times where I
like, you know what? I'm not taking this
to Trader Joe's.
>> Right. Right.
>> I'm not gonna waste miles.
>> Take the Tesla. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to take Yeah.
>> A friend of ours just sold his his ST.
>> It had 5,000 miles on it and he he got a
good number.
>> Really?
>> He got a really good number.
>> So, we should just enjoy it. I know
that's the right thing.
>> It would be hard for us to get 5,000
miles. But the car, there's no way
you're not liking the ST.
>> It's the greatest. Always the greatest
thing when you drive away from the
hanger, you just go. Yeah,
>> these two cars together
>> are a twocar collection. You really
cover a lot of ground with these two
cars.
>> Yeah,
>> it's a bit excessive, but
>> yeah, I I love the Spider RS. I had I
had a blast in the one we had.
>> They're good ones.
>> Um
>> they're good. Well, I'm going to take
that car and I'm going to go to the
tennis courts in it. Are you guys
leaving the orange indicators or you
going the euro?
>> No, we have the this uh the clear ones.
They just they're at his office at my
office. I just have to,
>> you know, and I put them on.
>> Yeah.
>> And it's always uh fraught with
>> just have someone else do it. That's
that's my policy.
>> I did it. I did the the the puddle uh
lights in the ST.
>> Yeah.
>> And I did the side markers. And I had to
call Zuckerman after and I go, "That was
traumatic. That was traumatizing. The
clicking and the cracking sounds."
>> Yeah. Yeah,
>> but we took out those kind of heritage
uh beer pub uh puddle lights in the
>> It's like icons of cool.
>> They just look like a barcon of cool.
We, you know, put them in the front and
we put just sounds better.
>> I just put basic Porsche ones in there
just to keep it
>> question to Mr. Le. Do you think this
car would be good with a stick?
>> Yes, I I do think it' be good with a
stick.
>> It's had a stick.
>> Uh the the Spider RS I think is PDK
only. The the Spider you can get a
stick, right? I'm I'm I've driven both
extensively. Um,
>> for the way I drive and what I do with
cars, I think I prefer the PDK just
because it's so snappy and it's so good.
It's hard to explain to people. It's not
a normal automatic transmission. When
you're in manual mode,
>> you have beyond control. And I've also,
even though like the last car I bought
is a manual, I've lost the ability to
drive sticks as quickly as I used to be
able to. It's just that part of my brain
atrophied. And um
>> not just that part.
>> That was just that.
>> I can't believe you left that there.
Yeah. Just let it sit. Zuckerman. You
didn't
>> I'll just I'll just end.
>> I whispered his pee pee
>> at your feet as well.
>> Let's talk.
>> That's still okay.
>> But you know, this is such a fun car. I
think a stick would be fun.
>> All right, let's move on. We got a lot
of show to get to. Sorry to interrupt,
but we got tons. We have We've got Dear
Zuckerman. I want to do Dear Zuckerman.
We've got a million questions. Some of
this may have to punt to next week. big
Cadillac, too.
>> And we got we got Johnny's big Cadillac.
That's right. Let's talk about Strap
Habit. Strap Habit understands the
effort and expense that goes into
finding the perfect watch.
Unfortunately, the included strap or
bracelet is often uncomfortable and
doesn't reflect your style. That's where
Strap Habit comes in to help. Your watch
is not complete till you have the
perfect strap. Strap Habit focuses on
affordable pricing. Quick release spring
bars that allow you to buy multiple
straps. They sent me a bunch of straps
for my Swatch Omega, which I'm currently
using. And I can attest. Quick release
on the watch use. Nice and soft. Playing
tennis in it. Great. And every time I
put a new strap on, I feel Well,
>> not like that.
>> Put a new strap on. I heard it.
>> How much was that on the menu? The strap
on.
>> That was not on the menu. That was
>> And and and for you, Mr. Zuckerman,
>> we know what you like.
>> Excuse me.
>> A strap on.
>> Yes.
>> We know what you like. That'll be
$15,000.
But I feel like I get uh Oh my god, I
can't believe we talked about that.
>> I feel like we got a new watch. I feel
And so I had that I had was wearing this
watch. Someone said, "Is that a new
watch?" And I go, "That's that's my old
Swatch Omega with the new strap habit on
it." You got to check them out. You guys
can get uh 11% off.
>> 11.
>> Yeah, cuz of Spike 911.
>> Spike 911 is the code for 11% off your
order. Go to

You can see it right there. 911. Spike
911. And uh you get 11% off then. Thank
you. Strap habit.
>> Nice.
>> Strap habit. Strap it on. Um
>> let's see. A butt sniffing guy get
arrested again. We'll just We don't
really need to cover that.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Again.
>> I mean,
>> since the last time we talked about it.
>> How long do they hold you for sniffing
butts?
>> Right. Months. Two months.
>> All right. I don't want to I don't even
want to talk about
>> there's no bail right now.
>> But let's just let's just put up his
picture for one second. We won't discuss
it, but he was arrested. We talked about
it a couple weeks ago and then he was
arrested again right after it.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. There he is. I would say
>> No, no, no. That's it. No, no
commentary. What would seem into the
right environment for the butt sniffing?
You get all the butts that you want.
>> Well, maybe he just wants you.
>> What is that? Is that an Amazon sticker
that you can buy? Professional butt
sniffer.
>> Well, he needs that. If he just had
that, then he wouldn't keep getting
arrested. He's getting paid
professionally to do what he does. But
>> forget I even brought that up. Uh, you
drove, you sent me some footage of a
roof rodeo out in the woods in Monterey.
>> No, this was actually in the woods of
Los Angeles.
>> The woods of Los Angeles. Just quickly
tell me what this video is.
>> Okay. Um,
>> what what So, first of all, this is the
new roof rodeo that they debuted
>> last year.
>> Last year. They had them at the quail
this year. Our friends at Roof. Yes.
These cost
>> that's $1.25 million.
>> $1.25 million safari car. Is that fair
to say?
>> And Estonia roof who is uh uh you know
the wife of
>> lovely lovely. She's the dancer in the
equation.
>> She said you can borrow the car.
>> Yes.
>> We don't want you and Farah are the only
people allowed to touch this thing but
you have to take it off road. Promise me
you'll take it offroad.
>> And so I said okay I'll do it. And so
yeah we did a little off-roading.
Nothing too crazy cuz we're
>> This is Angelus Crest or Gourmet?
>> Yeah. There's a little there's a little
two-mile trail uh if you know where it
is up Angelus Crest. You can go
off-road. Um so yeah, it was it was
cool. I mean it's again uh a roof. The
only thing that is 911 on that car I
believe is like the windshield, the roll
down windows and the glass and the
mirrors. Everything by roof.
>> Not a 911 reimagined by roof. This is a
new manufactured vehicle.
>> This is a 911.
>> Yeah, it looks like a 911. But like when
you open the door, so first of all, the
rodeo has like, you know, like trail
blanket interior with like big baseball
stitched cowboy leather. But
>> do you have any pictures more pictures
of
>> I didn't send any to you. Sorry. But but
>> let me just keep playing it then. Let's
let's
>> um what what the coolest part is you see
the carbon fiber tub. So the whole tub
is carbon fiber. All the body panels are
carbon fiber. 610 horsepower. Uh 3.6 L
twin turbo manual. They built their own
crazy all-wheel drive systems, right? It
has a little mini screen. Most of the
most of everything in there is analog,
but just for the all-wheel drive system,
a mini touchcreen.
>> You hit the back of it where the rear of
the car is, 100% of the torque goes to
the rear wheels. You slide it all the
way forward, 50% of the torque goes to
the front wheels. Or you can do like I
want 62% or whatever. Uh or you can put
it in like a auto mode where the
computer figures out where to send the
torque. Super cool.
>> Who is the buyer for this car?
>> Uh me, but I don't have the money, so I
don't know. But seriously, why would you
buy this car?
>> You'd buy this car if you if you're Jeff
Zwart, right? If you're Jeff Zwart and
you live in like Colorado and you got to
deal with snow,
>> this is it. And it it's a blast. It It's
totally like it's so softly sprung that
when you floor it, it, you know, rears
up on its butt. When you hit the brakes,
it goes on its nose. It's a riot.
>> So snowy winter snowy fun.
>> You guys sure? The car.
>> This kills a decar. Look at the car is
what 4 I don't know 30 horsepower or
whatever. This is This is 610. This also
weighs 1,000 lb less than the car. This
is also the size of a of a you know 65
911. It's
>> Oh, it is.
>> Yeah. I was trying to get the sense of
the proportions for for a moment. I
thought it might have a longer
wheelbase.
>> Throw up some pictures from the
internet. Same wheelbase. What they did
was they widened it. So they had Freeman
Thomas who you know designed the Audi TT
and Myers M with the new Beetle and a
bunch of Chrysler and stuff. They had
him widen the car, but they didn't want
to look weird. So then he went and redid
every single body panel so that it's
just it's just tricking your eye. It
doesn't look any different than an
original 911. Even though it's wider,
it's no longer.
>> Um and yeah, it's just the grooviest,
most fun thing.
>> Um it's a handful like on the on the
it's on 18-in off-road tires. It's a
total handful like you know, hey, you
you know how 930s had liftoff over
steer? This more than doubles the power
but lightens it. So when you lift off,
you gotta be ready to catch.
>> I just have one note for them.
>> Yeah.
>> Now, get rid of the cowboy hats during
the promotion, please.
>> Again, in Germany,
>> it just it's it's it's
too German. It was too like
>> Germans love the American West. They
>> Yeah, but here when you come to America,
get rid of the cowboy hats. You don't
need the cowboy hats.
>> The girls look good in the car.
>> The car it detracts from the car.
>> What do you think of the the squarish
wheel openings? I I like them. It to me
it's it's a little bit of Lamborghini
Elmo2. It's it's And again, remember
here's the thing. Roof builds 30 cars a
year total. So probably three or four of
those are rodeos. So even if you hate
them, big deal. You're never going to
see the thing. It's on a ranch in
Montana or, you know, an island
somewhere. But it is a great little go
anywhere, you know, million-dollar play
thing. It's really a lot of fun.
>> Wow.
>> Yeah. Enjoyed it. And thank you, Roof,
for letting me drive it.
>> Well, and a whole video coming, too.
Driving with Johnny.
>> I've got more good news for you. You've
been invited to Willow Springs.
>> Love it.
>> I got a text right before the show.
>> Good.
>> Please make sure Johnny knows that he
will be invited to the Willow Springs
opening October 11th. Then they sent me
a bunch of pictures again. They love
that we're talking about them.
>> Look at this.
>> Wow.
This is the new Streets of Willow, I
think.
>> No way. Yeah, they they're still working
on it, but they sent this picture that
that this is footage if that looks like
the parking lot. So, Zuckerman, you
recognize where we are?
>> Those are the hangers where we usually
have the cars set up.
>> This is just kind of the back area, but
it lets you know like the level of
restoration, reimagining they're doing
at this joint. It's going to be wild.
>> Fantastic.
>> Go back to the other photograph of that
other Oh,
>> that's streets.
>> Look at that.
>> So, this is so tasty. I the number of
people I know who have crashed on this
track where they finally now put runoff
is so
>> that's right. I mean that's what you
know when I chatted with them that was
my first question like what are you
doing with let's see 1 2 3 turn four and
five. Yeah,
>> you know because I had showed up to the
track. Do you remember Zachary? We were
there a few years ago and someone had
just died. Some kid been driving around
in a boxer and flipped it. And
>> if you're watching this the one on the
extreme right that's known as the bowl.
Um, the amount of cars that just fell
off the edge or never seen again was
huge.
>> Well, that's the the first thing they
addressed. It's really going to be wild.
And they're having their kind of coming
out party October 11th.
>> That's so cool.
>> Which we're now invited to. We're also
making an appearance there.
>> It's going to be uh I think Ralph
Barbosa is going to be there as well. He
got all he got all excited about it.
He's going now.
>> How are we getting there?
>> Huh?
>> The chopper. We'll take the chopper.
>> Yeah, they're they're setting a chopper
for us.
>> Yes. Excellent. That's the only way to
get you there. They they they
anticipated that.
>> It's going to be like that scene in
Apocalypse Now. We're We're coming in.
>> But I don't know if there's room for
Johnny on the chopper. I hope
>> I will happily drive. No, you're coming
on the chopper.
>> We're going We're going as a team. The
three of us.
>> You better be on that chopper.
>> And see, this is why we're going to have
a chopper. I made up the chopper.
>> This is why we have Patreon because
we're we'll shoot it as a special video.
>> Okay.
>> And have some fun.
>> Yes. Okay.
>> My goal is to have us on camera all the
time. Well, I'm going to get
>> in the bathroom, anywhere else.
>> Corvette.
>> I'm pretty excited about it. Buy
tickets. They're actually really
>> affordable and cheap. You can bring the
whole family up. They're going to have
cup cars up there racing. Uh the Singer
guys are up there racing. I bumped into
Jensen uh Button in Malibu.
>> Oh, nice.
>> Uh and he's going to be he's up there
racing around. He's excited that we're
all coming up.
>> I mean, I think again the big thing
people should know is that they're doing
it at uh the level is FIA2.
So like the Nurburg Ring is an FIA2
track. It's got to be that level of
Yeah. But like like it just means you
can go to the track and you're not gonna
like die because the track is bad. It's
going to be safe, fun place to race with
all the real facilities and everything.
>> Nice.
>> Yeah.
>> How long is the drive from LA?
>> Uh from where you live it'll be 90
minutes
>> in a helicopter.
>> In a helicopter 15.
>> Yeah, about that.
>> Nice.
>> Yeah, that's good. I like that.
>> Oh. Oh. Oh. Speaking of that, speaking
of boss,
>> here I am your boss.
>> But Morris Solomon, purveyor of mobiles.
Your son Dell is our boss.
>> That's correct.
>> What is the latest? You sent me a
picture of uh of
>> signage
>> of signage hung on this space.
>> Yes.
>> Give us an update. Everybody's asking.
>> All that needs to be done is the
physical inspection of our dealership.
Okay.
>> And that's going to be any day now. and
and Dell, our boss, my son, he's taken
all steps. He's gotten us bonded. He's
done the DMV test, which he passed. He's
he's gotten everything that he needs. He
got the file cabinet, the locky file
cabinet, just so we can get dealer
plates on whatever we're driving, right?
>> Sorry. Yeah,
>> that's not correct. We buy and sell a
lot of cars.
>> We were going to be buying and selling
cars. And Jay Leno said to make sure you
make that point. We are buying and
selling cars. The dealer plates are for
showing cars to prospective buyers.
That's what they're for.
>> But what is the file cabinet for? The
locking file cabinet.
>> It's a it's a requirement for your for
your financial documents and and and
your sales documents. And I will tell
you,
>> let him finish, Johnny. Let him finish.
>> One other thing, Johnny.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> The next step will be a full retail
dealership. That is the next one. That's
a little harder to do. So, I had to get
I had to get our boss I had to ask the
boss to start with this one. Okay.
>> And once he gets this done, we can go
full retail.
>> What do you got?
>> Oh, I was just going to say like if
you're a work at home lawyer, you got to
have a a safe. So, this would be one
step out from that.
>> You do?
>> Yeah.
>> A work at home lawyer. We have a
safeidence
>> wired into the foundation of our home.
>> An evidence locker.
>> How hard is it to get to that safe that
you're talking about?
>> It's hard. It's it's it's cabled into
the
>> a heist.
>> Yes.
>> Well, probably you know what I got? I
got I got like 2 oz of that gold from
Acre Gold
>> and a bag of old broken Seikos.
>> Where is my gold? Huh?
>> Where is my gold? They're not in the
show, guys. But here, Zuckermanman. This
you're going to like. Go to
spikescarradio.com
right now to celebrate our new
dealership. You're going to love this.
And look at look to the third on the
right. So, we're gonna have the classic
logo stuff, our new logo stuff. But
look,
>> Moroso
>> Morris Solomon's purveyor of fine
automobiles merch. Mo. Click on that
one. Did you ever Our grandparents would
be so excited.
>> Plating is the word you're looking for.
They'd be plotting.
>> They'd be plotting.
>> They'd be very clumped.
>> So, you can wear this. No one will know
what the hell you're wearing. It's very
stylish.
>> Yes.
>> But it's going to be our dealership
logo. And let's emphasize, no one will
know what the hell you're wearing.
>> I think we should also do a t-shirt that
says coming soon. Like like the original
screen. Coming soon.
>> Coming soon. Coming soon.
>> Yeah. But we'll have the plate frames. I
forgot to do the plate frames, but I'll
get those up. And yeah, it's pretty
exciting. But you can go that's live
now. It should be live. You won't need
the password to go up. You can
>> now buy shirts and hats as much as you
want. You have ideas for merch. I have
something very exciting coming out for
Christmas. Zuckerman.
>> Very exciting.
>> Yes, Spike.
>> Very exciting. Spike a little while to
plan. It's got prototypes coming and
it's inspired by you and I'm I couldn't
be more excited about it. Would it also
be Is it
>> I think it's going to be the first thing
that we we just sell out in a monster
way.
>> Tell me it's going to be it's going to
be the reindeer.
>> Huh?
>> It's it's going to be Rudolph the
reindeer in in the meat locker.
>> No. No.
>> Damn it.
>> It's going to be a framed note from a
hooker autographed by Zucker.
>> I wish. Do you still have Cuz I read the
note. I bet he kept it. He keeps
everything.
>> Do you have the note?
>> I should have kept it. Uh,
>> I was so grossed out.
>> That's one you don't want your wife to
find.
>> I told her about it right away.
>> We tossed it and we to It was
>> not to revisit it. That McLaren
collection. Where's that? That sold. Tom
Hartley sold the whole collection of
McLarens. He made this announcement. Oh,
there he is.
>> Hello.
>> Hello, everyone.
>> Here, I'll I'll tell you what he said.
>> Hello. I'm a real prostitute.
>> I did it.
>> I did.
>> I sold all the cars to one buyer. 350
for 20 minutes.
And then I took some of that money and I
spent it with the Spanish Bay Hooker.
Each of those minutes is a memory I will
cherish forever.
We also did it in one of these cars, and
I haven't told the new buyer which one
it is.
I believe you did an episode about that
on Seinfeld called the junk Jify Park.
Yes, that's right, I did. Where you
found used condoms. You're going to find
a used condom in one of these cars as
well. So, congratulations to me.
>> I sold them all.
>> We're rich. That's what he said.
>> Sure.
>> Yeah. But it's kind of cool that they
stayed together with one buyer.
>> Did you hear the price? Anyone? The
price?
>> No, they didn't say the price.
>> You know the price?
>> Well, I know that one car is about 25
million that he's standing next to. What
do you think is 50?
>> I don't think they're going to announce
it.
>> I I'm going to say it's closer to like a
100red.
>> The guy, you know, in, you know, in my
experience, I've sold cars to people and
and it's been a record number and
they've said, "Look, this is I'd rather
not publicize this and don't even tell
anybody if you you know, if you if you
if you uh don't mind." And I would bet
the buyer of this
>> and please don't do a video like you're
a male sex worker after after the sale.
car is mesmerizing.
>> Tom Marley, I've heard, is a really
wonderful guy with
>> He's not. You have to be in that.
>> He's never going to talk to us.
>> Yes,
>> he did a good job selling. I'm glad that
collection's staying together. It kind
of made me happy there.
>> All right, let's talk about this
Cadillac. What is it? Go ahead.
>> This is the 2026 Vistic Sport, which I
keep wanting to keep calling Bisquake
because Vistic is not a great name, but
um yeah, this is their new It's their
small three row. Uh, so the Escalade IQ,
which is uh one of my favorite cars I've
actually driven in the last 12 months,
is way bigger uh and a three row and all
electric. This is all electric, but it
is kind of a regular size three row.
Would compete with like the Rivian R1S,
would compete with the Mercedes GLS,
>> uh maybe the BMW X7. And um I will say
it's about 80% really good, 20% it's
just like little weird stuff they got to
work on. like one pedal driving, okay?
Uh which is great if you have an EV. You
love one pedal driving, but like the
switch to get to it is just it's
needlessly buried deep and it's just
like a UI thing. Now, once it's on, is
it like a tactile switch or is it an
electric?
>> No, it's it's like you got to do a swipe
on a screen and then then you got but
but even if you swipe to see the other
stuff, then you got to get to like more
options and then it's and then it's like
convoluted what it is.
>> Right. Right. Once you program the car
where you want it to be, it's great. Um,
615 horsepower and I think 650 pound-
feet of torque. That said, when it's in
like normal mode, what they call touring
mode, it's a lot less power than that.
So, what I did was I set up
>> uh my mode. So, it's like everything is
comfortable except for I have full
power.
>> So, um, and it's great. It's that's a
lot of horsepower and torque. It's real
quick. Um, pretty good looking. not as
good-looking as the other electric
Cadillacs, I would say. Um, but I think
it's kind of appealing to maybe a more
conservative demographic than the other
ones. Um, the price is actually worth
noting. It starts at 78,000.
>> Wow.
>> As tested 81 there. I know there's a
luxury version that can get up to six
figures.
>> Did you say how many miles to the
charge?
>> Um, like 320 I want to say something
like that. Pretty pretty good.
>> Self-driving tech is good.
>> The self-driving tech is the best in the
business. It's It's their GM Super
Cruise, which if if you've ever
experienced it, you just on a freeway.
It's only for freeways. It only turned
on on the freeway. You don't need to
touch the steering wheel.
>> Um I haven't done a ton with this one,
but I drove an Escalade IQ from San
Francisco to Los Angeles and I touched
the steering wheel like to get off the
freeway. It just it just does. It's
perfect.
>> Yeah. Yeah. You've said that before.
>> Yeah, it's really good. Uh it has the
middle rows captain's chairs. The
interior is pretty nice. Um, I think my
biggest gripe with it, aside from like
needs better software, which is coming
cuz it's all updatable,
>> for whatever reason, the angle of this
windshield, every single thing on the
dash is reflected in the windshield at
all the time,
>> which I I don't like. And I've never
driven another car that's as bad as
this.
>> The Zagato does that. Remember,
>> it's a very basic mistake.
>> It's a weird It's a weird mistake. They
could they could like desshine. It's
like the two speaker grills and like the
back of the of the screen. you just get
this glare and you can kind of see in
this video
and it's I it's weird cuz like I don't
think the Lyric does this and I know the
Escalade IQ which again just totally
different product doesn't do that but
but again it's it's a handsome car it's
a great to drive car suspension all that
good stuff um so yeah it was funny like
I I I didn't ask for this car this is
one that they kind of just dropped off
and I put a thing on Instagram like hey
should I make a video thinking everyone
would be like don't bother and it was
like about 85% saying do it. We're
curious.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> So, it's a Yeah, it's a good car. Like,
I'd say for 80,000, could you get a two
motor Rivian? That's a much better EV.
>> Yeah.
>> Um but if you don't want a Rivian, like
this is pretty good. And then what you
know the Kia um uh EV9, I think it is.
That's also $80,000, you know, and like
boy, I take this over that any day of
the week. Uh, having driven them both,
this just drives better and it charges
faster and it's much much much more
powerful.
>> Let me just ask you, you host a show
about EVs, right? Just
>> it's coming back. Yeah, it's coming
back. Inevitable. The inevitable. Let
just a topline question cuz people keep
asking me, they keep saying it's a shame
what's happened. This is just folks in
my kind of social circle that no one's
buying electric cars anymore.
>> Well, is that that's not true, right?
Electric cars are bigger than they've
ever been. Sales are higher than they've
ever been. It's just there's more brands
to choose from and some brands are
getting nailed for
>> Tesla got whacked for obvious reasons.
Um the the the adoption rate has
definitely slowed down, but I think in
2024 it was over a million EVs sold in
the US, over 8% of the market. And it's
and I think the first and second
quarters, I'll double check it, but uh
2025 it went up again.
>> Yeah. So year to year we're going up on
sales
>> now. What's about to happen though,
September 1st, I believe, or maybe
September 30th, can't remember, but the
uh $7,500 tax credit, the Trump
administration has cancelled.
>> Yes.
>> Uh which is going to hurt uh lowerric
EVs cuz it was nice to, you know,
there's ways to get that money back
right off the price, right off the top.
>> So that could hurt sales. That could
hurt sales, but like cars like this
don't even qualify for that because of
the base price. All right, so
>> let's talk about our friends at Blue
Chew. Guys, enter the room dick first.

our favorite segments. Dear Zuckerman
and I have a new graphic for you right
here.
>> There it is.
>> Wow.
>> Wow.
>> You look like Zuckerman on OMIC.
>> Cam, I could I could send you a better
uh face.
>> O Zuckerman. Anyway, a Santa t-shirt.
>> I don't I don't know what the graphic
is. We
>> AI is going crazy.
>> Yeah, we're just we're doing our best to
try to put on a show every week. As you
recall, these are real dear Abby and or
advice column questions that uh
Zuckerman is going to answer instead of
the licensed therapist person or whoever
the hell they are.
>> The dumbbell.
>> It's a licensed dumbbell.
>> All right, here we go in one of our
favorite segments. I'm I'm very excited
about this. And Zuckermanman, please.
It's just a reminder, don't give solid
advice to these people. We want
Zuckerman off camera advice.
>> I don't think there's much of danger of
him.
>> Sometimes he does. Sometimes he starts
going, "Here's what I really think." No,
we don't want that.
>> No, no, no. I want you pre-show
Zuckerman.
>> Yeah, pre I want pre-show Zuckermanman.
Just as a reminder, here we go.
>> And we know in your professional life,
you're a lawyer with fantastic advice.
I've seen your work. You're really
incredible. You make lots of people lots
of money. We don't want that guy.
>> No,
>> we want the guy punch who punches out
and now comes here. Okay, here we go.
>> I saw your record sales, by the way. I
was very impressed with the amount of
money you've made in the last two weeks.
>> GDP of a small country.
>> That's why you're getting a GG2RS.
>> Guess we get whatever we want. I'm not a
part of his company. I have to kick in
half. All right, here we go. Ready? Dear
Zuckerman,
my husband buys vehicles and hides them
from me and never drives them.
>> Yes.
>> He claims his bipolar disorder is the
cause of his behavior. However, I think
there's a problem bigger than bipolar
because he lies so much about the cars.
I recently found out he has a new truck
and when I confronted him discovered he
had purchased a second new truck and I
have to drive a leased Rav 4.
He is currently hiding a new Ford
Mustang. Zuckerman,
this is unbelievable. Zuckermanman, does
bipolar disorder cause the spending and
the lies? What do you think?
>> I think it's you. I think it's it's you,
lady. It's you're you're just kill joy.
If you took more joy and you were less
of a harpy about this, he would maybe he
would maybe bring you into this, you
know, start showing some enthusiasm.
This is the advice you want, right? This
is this is the irreference. any and and
lady.
>> But he but you think do you think he's
lying about the bipolar?
>> Of course.
>> Yes, he is. Because he's afraid of being
criticized by her.
>> Oh yes.
>> So I got pitched an idea for a story one
time. This guy said, "Listen, I own a
car storage facility. Most of my
clients, they hide cars from their wives
at my facility. Really? It doesn't look
like a car storage place. It's like and
and I'm like, "This is like if they're
getting divorced, they want to hide an
asset." He goes, "No, no, no, no. These
are just cars. They don't want their
wives to know they bought, so they will
never see them
>> because there's such a market for it.
>> It's It's a thing guys do. They hide
cars from their wives.
>> Yeah. Because nobody wants to explain.
And lady, be thankful. It's not girls,
>> right?
>> Doesn't she deserve some honesty in her
life?
>> What? Okay. This is
>> No.
Okay. Did Did she marry somebody else?
This is probably the same guy she
married that thought was fun. She
thought he was fun. She thought, you
know, his little jokes were cute and now
all of a sudden she realizes he didn't
change.
>> I would say, look, you got you just got
two trucks. Give me one of the trucks
and we're good.
>> All I'm saying is is that if she was
more enthusiastic about it, she probably
would.
>> And stop making our bipolar community
look like
>> Yeah.
>> car thieves.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> I do like the lease rev 4 is a nice
touch. Like
>> Yeah. Because it it belies or betrays
her desire to drive something nicer. And
apparently he's got some cars. So, he
should just go, "Look, I'm going to be
honest and I'll give you a couple cars."
>> And like new Ford trucks, those are, you
know, 70 ladies.
You know, there's always a divorce and
you you take half of the cars.
>> That's good. All right.
>> Next letter. Dear Zuckerman, about eight
months ago, I stumbled in on my husband
watching online adult videos.
>> And sweet.
>> He admitted to habitual use, but said it
was just a stress reliever, and he would
stop viewing it right away.
>> Lie. Yes.
>> Meanwhile, I am a small breasted woman
and I can't stop thinking about that he
has seen beautiful bodies that are much
more of a turnon than mine. Also, I'm
not sure he has stopped watching the
videos. Zuckermanman, what would you do?
>> I'm I'm sure you watch you want the
band. Lady, he's not doing anything to
you. It's none of your business. You're
not in the videos. Mind your own
business. And if and if you and if you
you know and go to the gym and the
plastic surgeon,
you know, I edited the letter down.
They're still they have a nice sex life.
Everything's fine.
>> So, okay.
>> What's the problem, right?
>> There's no problem.
>> There's no problem.
>> Stop walking in on him. It's like a
teenage Look, any man is like a teenage
boy. Knock on that door. That's right.
>> Knock on the door before you walk in or
or otherwise you might see something you
don't want to see and you might not be
able to unsee it. And lady, you could
you could Google for yourself different
kinds of porn and realize it sounds like
your husband is doing pretty plain
vanilla stuff. He could be looking at
stuff that's so shocking and so filthy,
you would never come back from it. Just
be thankful
>> that a guy's in general, a guy's uh porn
life is separate from his actual sex
life.
>> Yes. It's okay. It's like little kids
know that that that what was it? Sesame
Street is not real. Yeah, they know that
there's no guy living in a garbage pale.
They know there's no big bird. It's just
a separate world.
>> Yeah, I think I hear what you're saying.
You're saying porn is Sesame Street for
guys, adult men.
>> But also also,
>> that's the theory that you're putting.
>> Yes, it's just
>> it's just Sesame Street. It's just
entertainment.
>> But also like the the idea that like she
feels bad about her breasts because he
was looking at
this. No, no, I'm just saying guys like
all kinds of breasts.
>> Guys like everything. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Guys are dogs.
>> Stop making it about you.
>> This is uh this is about him.
>> He's very happy with you. Just relax
with her.
>> Yeah. They have a good sex life. Great.
>> Yeah. Okay. Here's the next letter. I'm
glad we solved that.
>> Totally solved.
>> I'm also glad that we have 95% guys in
this audience because we're not doing
very well with these questions. I'm
trying to be sensitive.
>> You asked me for the wrong committed.
Right.
>> It's not you.
>> Okay.
>> Okay. It's mostly you. You just did
compare Sesame Street to porn though.
Just for the record as a as a pant.
>> Okay, here we go. Running out of time.
>> Stand.
>> Oh no.
>> Dear Suckerman, I think my husband is
trying to poison me.
[Music]
>> Sound pretty sound pretty strong for
>> This is a real letter. No joke. I
suspect he's putting something in my
coffee. I notice it smells funny and
when I drink it, my eyes get super puffy
and swollen. I also suspect he's been
adding stuff to my lotions and bath
products which have created brown
discolorations on my skin. Last month, I
purchased a small camera and hid it in
the bathroom, but I think he discovered
it and deleted the files. So, I moved it
to a new location and then he put
something in front of the lens. I need
help. I've been married to this guy for
11 years. I don't know what to do. I'm
freaked out. Zuckerman, what do I do?
Husband seems pretty clever. The husband
seems like he's criminal. Yeah, he's I
got to say this guy's up there because
most men don't notice anything. And so
for him to for him to get the cameras is
great.
>> But he's poisoning her. She wants to do
is take whatever this [ __ ] is to the
police.
>> Why are you writing a letter? If he's
trying to kill you, go to the cops. I
can't believe someone I can't believe
someone someone's trying to kill you,
lady. the police, the popo, 911.
>> Also, damn, don't drink the coffee.
Don't put cream on. Like, it's pretty
easy not to get poison,
>> right? Once you know it,
>> once you someone you would think
someone's trying to kill you, isn't that
kind of a relationship deal breaker?
>> Yeah. And maybe she could change it.
She's got a whole bunch of options
ahead. Door number one, go buy cameras.
Door number two, write a letter to the
paper. Door number three, the police.
What's Okay, door number three, lady.
The police.
>> Think about waiting for that letter to
get published in all the poisonings.
>> Yes. Meanwhile, you just turn into one
brown splotch and you can't see out of
your eyes later.
>> She won't be able to read the response.
>> And why is this guy working with such
benign poisoning?
>> Yeah. Like get to the
>> like what is he hoping to find?
>> Wow.
>> You know that the police do a check and
there's what? Vaseline intensive care in
there or or what? Rose spray.
>> This is great. You know, I would say I
would maybe But you know, if she doesn't
want to go to the police, get like two
or three cameras.
>> Yeah, just go to the police. Well, how
about honey? Are you poisoning me? Just
ask.
>> I think she's obviously delusional
because like he deleted the files like
and then Yeah. Come on. Not this guy.
This guy.
>> Oh, you think he's like the master?
Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> He really knows. He knows about the
cameras, not about the poisons.
>> Well, you're right. Let's say
>> I'm poisoning my wife. Let's say I see
the camera on the shelf.
>> Don't I just step around it
>> and poison her in some other location? I
mean, why would I bother blocking the
lens?
>> I think she's delusional.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Or the guy's like, I I gotta take a dump
and I don't want to have that camera
aiming at me. My wife is a real freak.
What is she doing? live streaming my
potty.
>> But I also think the camera I think the
camera found
>> How much was that on the list?
>> I think the reason that the tape was
$1,000
>> I will live stream you on the toilet.
Sorry.
>> We will be in North Korea.
>> Go ahead.
>> I've said all I need to say. She's nuts.
She's nuts.
>> All right. We got to go in a second.
Here's here's our final letter.
Dear Zuckermanman, at a recent birthday
party, one of my male guests went wild
on the dance floor and began gooseing
women on the ass.
>> I wasn't the only one. I wasn't the only
one who saw it. I don't know what to do.
If anything, Zuckerman, should I call
someone or mind my own business?
>> Well, the question is, are you are you
upset that he didn't goose your ass? Is
this not he did not goose you? Okay.
>> Or is this a crime, I think, is what
she's saying.
It sounds like a party. It sound It
sounds like It sounds like It sounds
like more fun than she's used to,
>> right?
>> It does sound like if someone was upset
about what happened to them, it would be
up to them to take action about it and
you don't have to then go report him for
something that
>> maybe he was gooseing
>> willing people who enjoyed it.
>> Maybe. I don't know. Maybe you should
ask him for a reenactment just the two
of you and you'll get it out of your
system. You will feel that that you two
made the cut.
>> Wow. So that's what you think is going
on?
>> Yeah.
>> That she's
>> she feels she didn't make the cut.
>> Fair enough.
>> Well, that's our show, gentlemen.
>> You be happy now? Of course.
>> Did I answer the question?
>> You did a great job, Z. Thank you very
much. You're off to Vegas right now for
your law firm.
>> Yes. And uh if someone gets in their uh
butts into trouble, you get in an
accident, you call this guy the rewards,
the uh the judgment's coming in, if I
have the right word,
>> justice, the money for your clients. I
love it.
>> Justice. Yeah.
>> Torts, am I right?
>> It's justice. Torts cars. Uh Johnny's
new channel is lighting up uh YouTube.
What's uh Johnny Driving?
>> That's not what it's called.
>> It's not driving with Johnny.
>> Johnny drives things. You know, the the
bad part is it's not it's it's not that
like it's kind of funny when you say it,
but then I get a bunch of comments where
people repeat it. Man, that's unfunny.
Like you're you're a funny guy. They're
not funny guys.
>> I'm not trying to be funny with what's
Johnny Driving. That was a segment on
the show. So,
>> this is a different channel called
build off of
>> eating with Johnny.
>> Well, yeah. Well, you know, I just I
filmed a pastrami episode. You'll be
very happy.
>> Really? Yeah. I was saying,
>> see, I think you could be in the Pumprey
zone for non-pumprey type of guys. He's
more of the GQ guy, you know, younger
set. Your kind of gluttonous behavior
set. So like bourbons and foods and
meats.
>> We did we did uh me and Sang uh from
father's office. Sang Yun, we did uh
settle it. Who has the best pastrami
sandwich in LA? So canners, Langers, and
Brent. So coming soon's
number three for sure. Fantastic. Oh,
I'd I'd be when we're off the air, we
can talk about it. I know I know what
the order.
>> Okay,
>> you guys are going to be back with us
next week.
>> Also, just want to thank Upscale Diecast
Exclusive for sending us this beautiful
Oslo blue GT3 RS, which is a combination
of our old car
>> and our GT4 RS that we no longer have.
This is uh an unbelievable model. I
think they're only making 125 per color.
Check them out, upscalecast.com.
Um, and it was a very nice gift. I had
to I I had to promote it. It's re really
lovely. Really lovely. They come in Osla
blue, oak green, yaching blue, and uh

>> That's my favorite.
>> We know something about that color, but
we'll leave that for another show. We'll
see you next week on Spike's Car Radio.
