In this episode, Joe and Matt Farrow talk about their cars and the weird things they like about them. They also talk about Matt's new pink Porsche, and the fact that he drives a car with a pink interior.
00:01:20.000And she left in a car, and I left on the scooter.
00:01:23.000And, like, exactly, like, 40 minutes later, I got off the bike and texted her that I was at my destination in Koreatown, and she was at her destination in Culver City.
00:02:32.000It's really hard to not be a douchebag in a Ferrari.
00:02:34.000Although I did see a really interesting one that this guy built in England where he took a Dino and he put a 400 plus horsepower modern Ferrari engine in it and put like a clear glass over the engine bay and everything you could take off and bring the car back to stock.
00:02:54.000It was almost the sort of singerization of a Dino.
00:02:59.000So the Dino is one of the prettiest Ferraris ever, right?
00:04:45.000It's actually hard to tell it apart from a regular Dino if you don't know what you're looking for.
00:04:50.000The things to look for, obviously that badge on the left that says Evo something, and then the clear engine cover with the big bubble in the middle of the engine bonnet has changed.
00:05:20.000What they did was they reproduced the Dino's, I think they're Campagnolo wheels, which were probably like 15s on the Dino, and I think they're 17s here.
00:07:54.000But even like Lamborghini at the time, like I have a Countach, which is the best car ever made, and you don't have to do that bullshit because even Lamborghini used chains.
00:08:08.000Enzo Ferrari also had utter contempt for the people who bought his streetcars, and I wouldn't be surprised if he did it just so the dealers would make more money on the services, even if he knew it was worse.
00:08:18.000Why did he have so much contempt for the people who bought his cars?
00:08:20.000Enzo Ferrari just wanted to go racing.
00:08:22.000He was an egomaniac, and all he ever wanted to do was see his cars win races, and he came to a point where he couldn't make money doing that, and he had to sell streetcars to customers, but throughout his entire life, he openly treated those people with disdain.
00:10:15.000If you want to buy a Ferrari or a Lamborghini and drive it around in the city and use it as a car, you could buy a Ferrari right now and it could just be your car.
00:12:51.000And then when I drove the automatic car, I went, okay, I feel way more comfortable at this pace with my hands on the wheel.
00:12:58.000But this eight-speed automatic they have is the biggest hunk of flaming shit ever put into a sports car.
00:13:04.000And so with the C8, with the new one, they got rid of the manual And decided to substantially improve the auto with a new dual-clutch 8-speed, which, you know, for you and for me, is sad that there's no stick.
00:13:34.000It's really about how do we get the 0-60 time under three seconds.
00:13:40.000Because when they had the Z06, which was 650 horsepower, and then they had the ZR1, which was 750 horsepower, they couldn't get it to 60 any faster.
00:13:49.000Detroit is still so suck in fucking 0-60 that...
00:15:11.000When you do a mid-engine car, you can give up a lot of that huge fat rear rubber because the weight distribution doesn't necessitate it.
00:15:20.000Tire sizes are typically chosen by the weight distribution of the car.
00:15:24.000So like your 911, your air-cooled car, your old one, right?
00:15:28.000You've got big fat rears and you've got relatively skinny fronts.
00:15:31.000That's because that engine is over the rears.
00:15:33.000So in a mid-engined, like a, I just looked this up for an unrelated thing, in the 458, the front tires are only 245s on that and the rear tires are 305s.
00:15:43.000So whereas a Corvette, your front tires are like 275, the old Corvette, front tires are 275, rears are like 335. That difference in weight distribution is how big of a difference you need in tires.
00:17:08.000An EV, a fast EV, if you live in Los Angeles, is the correct tool for this job.
00:17:15.000If you have a home, or in your case, a fucking sick warehouse to keep it charged.
00:17:20.000Supercharger network's pretty good, but I wouldn't say you can use it exclusively.
00:17:25.000You need some kind of home base to charge, or your office.
00:17:30.000People that live in apartment complexes that have Teslas, I don't know how you do it.
00:17:33.000Yeah, if you don't live in a building where you can get them to install one...
00:17:36.000Or you work in a building where you have something there.
00:17:39.000EVs are amazing, and they're super, super fun, and I totally get why people...
00:17:44.000I get your EV evangelism transformation.
00:17:48.000You, having gone from the analog school of manual gearboxes and fucking loud, to experience that level of silent performance, you must have felt like you're in a fucking spaceship.
00:18:02.000It still seems like a spaceship when I drive that thing.
00:18:30.000It has an advanced driver's aid system.
00:18:34.000Okay, so it has follow, you know, follows the car in front of you, and it has a pretty good lane keep assist.
00:18:41.000But now we go into the Joe Rogan rabbit hole of what does driving mean?
00:18:46.000So driving involves decision-making, and driving involves a lot of mental processes that cars can't do.
00:18:55.000And so that's when people talk about terms like self-driving cars or full self-driving or whatever— We're good to go.
00:19:22.000But I think the marketing is a little bit disingenuous, and they really want people who don't know better to think and feel like this is a car that drives itself.
00:19:34.000Well, they're kind of putting it on beta.
00:19:41.000I just had a Model 3 for a week, like a couple weeks ago, and I liked it so much, and I gave it back, and I went, God, maybe I should lease one of these.
00:22:50.000And if you build electric cars as your business, it's pretty easy to build a concept car that runs and drives because you've got your skateboard and you can just put any body on it, right?
00:23:00.000So odds are there's like a Model X chassis underneath that prototype truck, right?
00:23:07.000One, I don't think that accepting reservations is an honest thing to do when you don't know how you're going to build the truck.
00:23:15.000There's no way that truck's on the road next year.
00:24:15.000But what I am saying is their business model is not...
00:24:20.000Like the regular car companies in that it is so dependent on this hype machine bringing in new investors, bringing in new reservation cash.
00:24:31.000When they go, here's this crazy total recall space truck.
00:24:36.000And all it's going to cost you people to buy into my space truck vision is $100 refundable.
00:24:43.000And you're not going to find out if that $100 gets you a truck for like two and a half years.
00:24:47.000Are you going to go after your $100 if he's late?
00:24:51.000But I'm not saying you shouldn't buy whatever he sells.
00:24:54.000Isn't the Roadster thing a different deal though?
00:24:56.000Don't you have to pay all the money or something?
00:26:44.000Look at Because look, the problem is, if it's legitimate, if it's all on the up and up, if everything is on the up and up, there's a lot of individual pieces that don't really add up.
00:26:58.000It's like imagine the mortgage crisis in 08. You took all these bad mortgages and you put them together and all of a sudden it's considered a good investment, right?
00:27:31.000Towing uphill, the weight transfer is if you have a two-wheel drive pickup truck going downhill.
00:27:37.000My friend Jason Fenske at Engineering Explained did a whole video debunking this.
00:27:42.000But if you have an all-wheel drive, extremely heavy vehicle, because let's be honest, if they build that truck, that's a 6,500-pound vehicle.
00:29:49.000Yeah, this Cybertruck thing came out of seemingly nowhere, but right kind of at the same time that they figured out that full self-driving is not right around the corner as they said it was.
00:30:00.000There's a lot of backtracking going on in the full self-driving.
00:30:30.000The problem with Tesla is Elon says some shit that then is impossible, and then they have to figure out how to do it later, and sometimes it doesn't work.
00:35:52.000They put these really wide wheels and tires on the car, which when you have an Ariel Atom that has no power steering and a very dialed in and even sort of twitchy steering rack, this thing had one of the sketchiest,
00:36:10.000I mean, the sketchiest handling of top five sketchiest handling cars I've ever driven.
00:40:24.000Instead it uses an electronically actuated independent valve system that allows you to mimic the An infinite number of sway bar combinations in between, you know, full stiff and non-existent.
00:40:40.000So when you put the car into comfort mode, I shit you not, it rides like a Rolls Royce.
00:42:14.000But you make the sickest rooster tails.
00:42:16.000This car makes the sickest rooster tails!
00:42:19.000If you hammer down in the rain, because it spools up the water out the diffuser, and it gets hit with the exhaust, and it does like a Top Gun swirl.
00:43:32.000That engine, specifically in that, is a four-liter co-developed by a guy named Hans Metzger, who developed the engine in your GT3 RS. He's a legend, the legendary Metzger engine, which people talk about at Porsche.
00:45:42.000Yeah, air-cooled horsepower is like the worst value in motoring.
00:45:47.000So if you want, like, let's say you're starting with an engine that works.
00:45:53.000You buy a regular car, like my Carrera is an 87. You're starting with an 87 Carrera, okay?
00:45:59.000And you go in and you have an engine that works, and you go to a performance shop and you say, this engine makes about 200 horsepower as it is.
00:46:08.000You have to give him your engine and probably $50,000 or $60,000.
00:46:14.000If you want that engine to make 350 horsepower, you probably have to give him $100,000.
00:46:20.000And if you want that engine to make 400 horsepower, you have to give him a quarter of a million dollars.
00:46:24.000That's what it costs to get that type of...
00:46:27.000So when you see cars like a Singer, where you go, okay, here's a Singer 911, and it's 600 grand, a quarter of a million dollars as that is the engine.
00:46:35.000A Singer's got 50 grand in leather in it.
00:47:29.000Earlier you were kind of lamenting how these modern supercars aren't analog and they don't do stick.
00:47:35.000That right there is where companies like Singer and Icon come in.
00:47:39.000They will deliver you that analog, not just an analog product, they'll deliver you the, like, in 1999, Porsche stopped making air-cooled engines.
00:47:49.000They started making water-cooled engines.
00:47:51.000But, like, Singer and some other people are like, well, what if you continued developing the air-cooled engine from where Porsche left off?
00:48:02.000Half a million dollars because people that have this kind of money are willing to pay for that analog experience but without any sacrifice at all.
00:51:04.000Which means it's a wide-body version with three engines, I believe.
00:51:08.000Yeah, they weren't talking about what it was, but I think it's a three-motor car with a widened body and a different aero package and different tires.
00:52:09.000So the Taycan has this really interesting thermal management system that integrates the brakes, the battery, the motors, and the cabin heat, cabin climate control, all in one system.
00:52:21.000And so it's very common that one system will need heat while the other needs to be cooled.
00:53:39.000So your Tesla, for instance, if you want max performance, like the hardest launch you can do, You've got to have like 80% battery or more, and it'll only let you do a couple of them in a row before it starts to get noticeably slower.
00:56:50.000Yeah, if they get the number of stations right, I think the real problem with EV adoption, especially in places like LA, is the infrastructure, man.
00:56:57.000I don't think this city generates enough electricity through its grid for all of us to be charging cars at home.
00:57:22.000Like if you like how an EV drives and you like the experience of owning one and it works for your life, like a thousand percent get an EV. But Is a 90% EV adoption rate in LA something that's really realistic?
00:58:25.000And I don't, you know, with a new building, I'm no expert, but all the people who are experts are telling me that I should wait a year or two and see what my utilities are before I even attempt solar.
00:58:34.000Because I might, you know, you put it in now, how do you know if you've saved any money?
00:59:30.000Wouldn't that be great if the world's on fire and just sitting there sipping tea?
00:59:33.000Dude, well, speaking of that, so the dividing wall in between the car storage area and the members lounge, my office and my studio, is legally required to be a two-hour firewall.
00:59:45.000So you can sit there and have a tea and watch a fire on the other side for two hours and then just walk out the front door.
00:59:58.000That seems pretty cool, though, that they're doing that, that they're making these standards extremely high.
01:00:03.000I believe that it's good to have high standards and that you end up with a higher quality product and you can then charge more for it, and that's sort of how it works.
01:00:15.000That's a big leap for you to just jump in and build some crazy car storage building.
01:00:20.000I've never done shit like that before.
01:00:55.000And then there's a law in LA that if you build for every thousand square feet of commercial real estate you have, you need to have two street accessible parking spaces.
01:02:34.000We're at the point where the car looks done.
01:02:36.000It basically looks done, except there's just so much left to do.
01:02:41.000And dealing with the city is so, so hard.
01:02:43.000This is why I'm a little less optimistic about others in terms of the adoption rates of EVs and stuff like that, and solar and stuff like that, because working with the city for this stuff is so hard, and it's taken me so long to do one stupid fucking building that,
01:03:24.000I know it is, but I had the thought when I was listening to your show, and it was like, you're telling me the fictional drug dealer from that movie I loved when I was 13 is now a real drug dealer, but legally and as that movie character.
01:04:05.000What do we need to talk about with cars?
01:04:07.000Is there anything else happening in the industry that you want to know about?
01:04:10.000Well, I mean, the Taycan, I don't think we've completely covered it.
01:04:14.000My question with all these cars is what is next, right?
01:04:19.000It's like we're seeing these incredible 0 to 60 under 3 second times.
01:04:24.000We're going to eventually see the range increase.
01:04:27.000But if you had asked me 10 years ago, Are we going to see a 2.4 0-60 sedan that feels like it's violating physics when you stomp on the gas?
01:06:51.000So Porsche believes that the kinetic energy built up by motion is better used by allowing the car to just coast as far as possible than by hitting the regen and capturing it in the form of braking the way that Tesla does.
01:07:08.000Now you can turn that function off in the Tesla.
01:07:11.000Does that have an impact on, if it's doing that, does it have an impact on the way it feels?
01:08:14.000And so I was at the high point in the hill and I go, let's coast.
01:08:17.000And so I just coasted and I was like, let's see how far I can go without touching the brakes.
01:08:22.000And I got this motherfucker coasting up to like 100 miles an hour, taking corners and not using the brakes because the handling and the grip were so good.
01:08:30.000I coasted like 12 miles down the hill.
01:12:56.000The last time I came on the show, I talked to you about my Grand Seiko watch, and your show is so good for business that I got a handwritten letter from the CEO of Grand Seiko.
01:13:12.000I love things where someone's making it and there's gears and there's innovation.
01:13:16.000I don't know what part of our monkey brain is so fascinated by innovation and craftsmanship and shit like that.
01:13:23.000What's cool to me about watches is they're these crazy math machines.
01:13:27.000I had a watch called an IWC Perpetual Calendar.
01:13:32.000It was like a big fucking tank of a watch, and it would do time, the day, date, the month, the year, four digits, year, the moon phase, and it basically knew all the leap years.
01:13:51.000It knew how many days, that's it, how many days there are in a month.
01:13:54.000And if you kept this fucking thing wound, Either wearing it or on a winder, you didn't have to adjust it for 400 years.
01:14:03.000Like, you don't have to adjust it until the year 2400. That's fucking crazy!
01:17:15.000Can I tell you that I just saw there is a Fast and the Furious musical parody that these dudes came up with, and they're doing it in this little theater here, the Dynasty Typewriter Theater, and it is...
01:17:29.000Like, the Team America of Fast and the Furious.
01:17:34.000And it's the fucking funniest thing I've ever seen.
01:20:11.000When the cameras are off, too, I've heard, repeated a few times, but not more recently, that there was screaming being heard from his cell.
01:20:50.000They tried to overthrow FDR in 1935, and this general was like the whistleblower for it, because the people that were supposedly trying to do it were trying to get him to be the face to talk people into doing it.
01:21:01.000And so he went and talked to Congress about it.
01:22:07.000Yeah, Bush was a piece of shit, and then it kind of seemed on the surface like Obama was kind of normal, and now obviously we live in crazy town, but I think I feel like it's new, and it's not new, and this kind of shit has just happened over and over and over again.
01:22:25.000Well, it's the remnants of an ancient society.
01:22:28.000I mean, we're dealing with this ancient system that was created long before we had anything resembling our way of communicating that we have now.
01:23:00.000I don't think I'm designed to handle the kind of communication that I feel like I have to handle.
01:23:07.000In terms of like, I have an Instagram page with like 225,000 people and it's a lot less than you, but I think you do a better job of like detaching from it than I do.
01:23:17.000Maybe you just keep yourself busier than I do.
01:25:08.000And I think that's one of the reasons why so many people are anxious.
01:25:11.000I think just our sheer numbers are wearing on, like, the way we feel.
01:25:16.000I actually have developed, like, real anxiety just about fucking life, which I think it's directly related probably to, like, my internet consumption.
01:35:06.000Yo, there's a hilarious video from yesterday of...
01:35:09.000Pete Buttigieg on the campaign trail trying to do an axe throw, but like outdoor, and he straight overthrows the axe, misses the target entirely, and hits the dude's drum in the marching band.
01:38:40.000The stories of the different tribes are just amazing.
01:38:43.000Just the differences between the ones who lived in the east versus the Comanches who were mostly just traveling and living in teepees and following the buffalo.
01:38:53.000The ones in the eastern were like We're permanently settled in kind of one place, right?
01:38:56.000Yeah, a lot of them were into agriculture.
01:39:14.000But it's about all of like the U.S. territories that are like outside of the continental United States and just like ways we fucked over native people and we, you know, they're part of America but they're not states so they don't have to, they don't get to vote, they don't get to do anything.
01:39:30.000It's just like we've used these islands and countries and stuff strategically all over the world and it's a slog through it but it's kind of the kind of stuff you kind of got to read, right?
01:39:40.000Well, you got to, you should probably know.
01:39:59.000I wasn't paying attention to shit until I was like 28. Yeah, but now you pay attention to everything.
01:40:07.000Yeah, but before then, I mean all throughout high school, the time that I did spend going to college was only so that no one would think I was a loser.
01:42:39.000No, I think the real thing to do is omnivorous diets.
01:42:44.000And I think this is one of the things that we proved today in this conversation between Chris Kresher and James Wilkes, is that the omnivorous diet is like a natural, healthy thing.
01:43:22.000And literally one of the primary theories for why the human brain got so big so quick We started hunting.
01:43:30.000We had more access to protein because we were cooking things with fire.
01:43:33.000And we learned how to hunt better because our brains kept growing as we're just figuring out the throwing arm they think is a possible factor.
01:43:41.000Like somehow or another, the ability to throw something at something and kill it made us much more productive as hunters.
01:44:36.000You're singularly focused on food and shelter and not, you know, I don't know if you have the, you know, you don't have a lot of like the fucking worries that we have, but it could be awful simple.
01:44:48.000But at the same time, the constant fear of starving and freezing to death, that would be shit.
01:46:15.000And I justify it to myself sometimes by saying, well, I have a virtual job and I have to be doing this for work.
01:46:20.000But I think that's not true a lot of the time.
01:46:23.000I think it's not true a lot of the time.
01:46:24.000I think it's good to definitely give yourself some distance and some time away from it.
01:46:28.000But I also think it's fascinating because we don't know where this is going.
01:46:33.000We don't know what this is going to be like.
01:46:38.000It's dangerous that these companies have so much control over the information that you see and that your news feed and someone's news feed on the other side of the country or whatever could be just so much different.
01:46:52.000You're literally looking at different facts.
01:47:09.000Decide that Facebook and Twitter and whatever are like public utilities?
01:47:14.000Well, that's what people have proposed, that we treat it like anything that, you know, that everybody kind of should have access to, and we protect it under the First Amendment.
01:50:37.000This, I don't know, this is reminding me of something I just heard recently that I did never, it's never come up on here from what I remember, that there's like a Stonehenge type structure on the bottom of Lake Michigan that people found recently.
01:51:22.000I need to start using some of your guys' keywords to start searching for shit.
01:51:26.000I feel like my keywords are narrow when I'm doing my internet fucking time-wasting, and I'm not getting the kind of results you guys are getting.
01:51:36.000This book that I've been listening to is so intense, man.
01:53:35.000I had a bit on my special my last special where I was talking about that the United States is founded in 1776 and people live to be a hundred yeah three people yeah yeah like we don't want to think of that yeah but that's really what it is yeah fuck all this generations talk that's confusing yeah how many people ago like birth to death It's not a lot.
01:54:42.000Which is why, like, you know, I believe, like, that...
01:54:47.000Like, electric cars are awesome, and they're cool, and I think that in places like really dense urban areas where you have a significant number of them, you get cleaner air and all that kind of stuff.
01:55:01.000I just don't know if that's necessarily what our future requires because I think that like the big industries have sort of done this.
01:55:14.000Well, if everybody does our little part and we all buy an electric car and recycle, we can solve this when it's really sort of like maybe a few less cargo ships.
01:56:14.000It's amazing how quickly that happened.
01:56:16.000We saw that turtle, the dude with the pliers, he's pulling it out of the turtle's nose, and eventually he comes out with all this blood and everything like that.
01:56:23.000You need an ugly photograph of a cute animal to really make things happen.
01:56:27.000But I literally walked to the gym this morning, and from my house to the gym, I walk across the Venice canals, and I saw two bird scooters just in the canals.
01:59:16.000When you're on the highway and everybody's keeping it together, it's weird that we just all know to keep it together.
01:59:21.000There's a really interesting fallacy that gets passed around a lot, which is that humans are bad drivers, and that's combined with another fallacy that driving is easy.
02:02:42.000I mean, you shouldn't, but even if you, you know, legally, you still shouldn't do it.
02:02:45.000And also, like, I love, love that I can't pick up the fucking phone.
02:02:53.000On that bike that half hour on my little scooter getting my way through traffic to wherever I'm going That's a nice break from the fucking phone and being able to just be in motion in LA and You know and you're you're just going to even if you're going slow 10 miles an hour Everyone around you stopped and you're moving.
02:13:19.000It was like 300 horsepower, 350 horsepower, and it really needed to be like 600. And so I was at the point where I either was going to spend two more years and $20,000 more, and maybe I'd be happy with what I got at the end,
02:13:37.000And at about the same time, I drove...
02:13:40.000Lee Keen is the name of the dude who built my Porsche, and he builds and sells those.
02:13:44.000Mine is number 14 of the cars he builds.
02:13:47.000I drove his for a video, and I just was so in love with it, and I just said, oh, this is exactly the thing that I need in my life right now.
02:13:55.000And so when I sold the Mustang, I gave the money to Lee Keen and got a lifted 911. I love the fact that you took that as your daily driver.
02:14:49.000But as far as pure quality of engineering, there's nothing better.
02:14:55.000It's probably the finest car in the world from a quality perspective through most of its life.
02:15:01.000The 964 is a really unusual one for me because that year was like they still kept the frog eyes, but the suspension became more lively, a little bit more controllable, but yet it still maintained a lot of the old feel.
02:15:19.000At the time, those cars, if you go back to 92, when those cars came out, or 91, and you read contemporary reviews of the car, they were calling it old, slow, and heavy.
02:15:32.000They said it was a solid-feeling car, but the Corvette ZR1 was way faster and lighter, you know what I mean?
02:15:38.000And the Ferrari, let's see, well, the 348 was a piece of shit, but...
02:16:41.000I mean, they've done wonders with those chassis, and they've really lightened them with carbon bodies, and so it is possible to take that chassis further.
02:16:51.000Porsche lost so much money in the 90s, dude.
02:16:54.000Porsche was really hanging on by a thread, and they were losing money like crazy until Volkswagen and Audi Group came in, and that's where you ended up with the water-cooled cars, the Boxster, and then the Cayenne.
02:17:41.000So, you know, if you look at the passenger compartment, the roofline, the windshield, the side windows of those cars, you know, that's basically unchanged from the 70s to the late 90s.
02:19:06.000And it doesn't have a lot of power either.
02:19:08.000Well, one of the things I love about my car is with the lift on it and the tires, you've got less grip than a normal 911. So if nobody's around, I can slide entrance ramps.
02:21:39.000Yeah, so a guy like Magnus, he's experiencing what a normal person experiences when they're enjoying the pleasure of driving, but he's getting way more analog, way more super light car.
02:21:54.000Light cars are real easy to drive, though.
02:21:56.000When you've got a little engine, you can give a light clutch, you can have a light shifter.
02:22:00.000You don't need, you know, the more power you've got, the heavier duty everything needs to be.
02:22:06.000And so when you dial that stuff back and the car's 2,000 pounds and the engine's only 200 horsepower, you can just fingertip the whole thing.
02:29:19.000They had that whole big ship in Philadelphia, that cargo ship that was supposedly owned by Chase, but had $200 or $400 million worth of cocaine on it.
02:29:54.000And so these coke smugglers, the trucks, in the back of the truck is enough parts to like rebuild the whole car.
02:30:01.000And the truck has a racing driver and a five mechanics crew and they chase the car and if the car breaks they fucking pull it over and set up a shop and rebuild the car, right?
02:30:11.000And so these coke smugglers bought one of these Dakar race trucks, did it up like the livery, and just like a couple miles after the start, just like entered the race.
02:30:23.000And they entered the race with this truck fucking full of blow.
02:33:53.000So, this young kid is talking shit, and he doesn't understand, because he's a really hot pool player today, but he doesn't understand that this guy in front of him is a legend.
02:34:10.000Balabushka was the type of cue that he had, and because of this movie, This movie in particular, because they didn't mention it in the first movie, but it was pretty clear they were playing with a balabushka.
02:34:18.000This movie, that fucking cue is worth a shitload of money now.
02:34:24.000There's a lot of great pool cue manufacturers from that era.
02:35:40.000A lot of times they would use a plastic down there because you wanted something to be durable.
02:35:44.000Yeah, you'd bounce it on the ground or whatever.
02:35:46.000And they all used ivory that came from the pre-ban days because back then when they were making these things, people could go over there and shoot elephants just for their tusks.
02:37:54.000A brand new replica Shelby Cobra will probably drive a lot better than the ones they were racing at Le Mans in the 60s, but one is 50 grand and one is a million because one is real.
02:38:06.000And to be honest, that wouldn't mean I wouldn't buy one of those newer Balabushkas either if I wanted a cue to play with.
02:38:39.000The difference between a $500 watch and a $5,000 watch and a $50,000 watch and a $500,000 watch is just further and further into the details.
02:38:50.000That one watch that was good for 400 years, that's bananas.
02:46:18.000See, this is what I'm fascinated by, that somebody and some group of people, obviously it's not like one wizard, and they're doing it at multiple companies all around the world, and they're innovating, and they're competing with each other to make cooler and weirder shit.
02:46:32.000And all this stuff is, I guess it's a watch, but it's way more than just a watch.
02:47:51.000Most people will think you're a weirdo for wearing it, but if you wore something like this to a watch nerds gathering, they'll think you're the king of the universe.
02:51:55.000If they were accustomed to you, like if we lived in the water with sharks, do you think the moral duty that sharks have to be good neighbors who keep them from eating us?
02:52:03.000If we were just everywhere in the water all the time and sharks figured it out, we'd be like, oh, we could just eat them.
02:53:39.000If you had a fucking cage and it could put you in the middle of the woods and your friend ties a lamb to the outside of the cage so you could see the werewolf in real life and it looks like American werewolf in London.
02:54:49.000He realizes it's just some fucking thing that's not really a person, and then he just runs up the hill.
02:54:54.000I got kittens a couple months ago, and one of them just learned that he was fighting himself in the mirror, which was a really fun 20 minutes to watch him figure that out.
02:55:05.000When they chase their own tail, it's fucking genuinely hilarious.
02:55:08.000There's something about watching a kitten just spin around their own tail.
02:55:11.000They're dumb as fuck, but they're so fun.
02:55:25.000Do you know the video with the cat and the two crows, where the crow and the two cats, where this crow instigates a fight between these two cats?
02:57:12.000They figured out at one point in time how to take one tool and use it to get a second tool that was bigger and use that second tool to get food.
02:57:20.000So they figured out using a tool to get a tool to use a tool.
02:57:23.000But now they're figuring out how to make tools, bitch!
02:57:26.000They're connecting things together, son.
03:00:03.000Well, they're looking for dogs and cats.
03:00:05.000One of the things they found out when they killed them in San Francisco, in the Bay Area, they have real problems up there sometimes.
03:00:10.000Especially some of those homes that, like, sort of like we have Malibu, where the mountain lions live real in close proximity with the people.
03:00:18.000So they do these stomach examinations.
03:00:20.000They find it's like half dogs and cats.
03:00:22.000Well, the cat that I said that could open doors and shit, he wanted nothing more than to kill one of my other cats.
03:00:29.000He was a Russian Blue, had three legs, and he was really, really smart.
03:00:32.000We adopted him, and we tried for like six months to make it work.
03:01:09.000Imagine the moment when you realize that that's a giant you.
03:01:14.000Like, you know, you think you're this bad motherfucker because you could jack most animals, and then you realize, oh my god, this is a 140-pound me.
03:01:43.000All I'm saying is it's really interesting that we have this thing that we sort of agree rarely, rarely kills people, but it does sometimes, and we want to keep it around.
03:01:53.000Sounds an awful lot like the sharks, bro.
03:01:55.000And we also have to acknowledge that they're running out of shit to eat.
03:03:09.000Well, see, the thing is, the people think that you need to control their population, and this is where the argument gets real interesting, because it branches off between people that are very much animal advocates, animal rights first.
03:03:22.000They want animals to rule and to be able to have their own freedom on their land and Whatever happens, happens.
03:03:29.000Like mountain lions killing deer and all that kind of stuff.
03:03:33.000We shouldn't interfere with that and we shouldn't hunt.
03:03:35.000There's people that really think like that.
03:03:37.000They have their arguments and they have their reasons but the reality of animals is if you have large predators and the large predator runs out of things to eat, it's either going to go further and enter into new areas looking for food and it might get hit by cars or it's going to branch out Start eating pets.
03:05:40.000Yeah, like, okay, so picture a facade, a flat facade with a bunch of windows, brick, and then it just kind of ends, and then there's this concrete kind of three-quarter dome that comes out from behind it.
03:05:53.000And they're covering, when I drove by, they were covering the dome with this sort of tarpy waterproofing layer, and it looked like they were going to then move Earth and build a mountain over the dome, so your home would be sort of inside this man-made mountain.
