Joe Rogan Experience #1849 — Rich Benoit Transcript

Transcript

0:00 The Joe Rogan Experience. I've been watching your exploits. Yeah? Yes, front cover. They don't? One of the very first guys that started working on electric vehicles on Teslas as an unauthorized repair person. Right. I mean, you're literally recycling broken Teslas, But I mean, that doesn't, why should they care about green? Do you really need a Tesla?

2:24 to get a Tesla to pretend you're saving the environment. You're kind of doing something Yeah. You have a 10,000 square foot house. It has to get heated and cooled. You have five acres of landscape lawn, and you know what landscaping does to an ecosystem. They tell you not to walk played golf and he was taking the pegs out Yeah. Well, you just, last time you mentioned this, I looked it up. It is a thing for sure.

4:19 So you've got to pick your angle, though. sales though i'll tell you that much i'm'm sure not. They're fucking great cars. Don't like it. Yeah. I think the new ones, which sucks for me. So the funny thing about Tesla is that I have an older one, i think the range is about maybe in the 250s so it's lost some 250 so it's lost some jamie is an was that the first year they came out?

6:21 I hate it, Joe. right it looks cool though it's a great party trick when i get my kids from school and at I could be wrong. I'd be like a jerk. Yeah, they love to do that. Yeah, the I8 does have that. would be fast it looks that way yeah so like a common misconception is that when Do you get that in your plaid? That car goes zero to 60 in 1.9 seconds.

8:48 with Tesla owners, it's from a car enthusiast perspective, Yeah, I have that. I don't know. My impressions of cars suck. But I love the old V8 muscle cars, but it's because I was in high school in the 80s, and that's what everybody wanted. It has Netflix. There's something about the driving experience. I love it. But it's not the fastest car in the world, but it's so connected.

11:11 Yeah. You got to go somewhere. Install a charging station because I have a Tesla and I have every right to charge my car here. Sort of. You sort of do. And then you have a charger sitting there. And I think that's a scary move because Tesla's leg up on everyone is the fact that they have one of the best charging infrastructures, period. They're just like, hey, let's open it up for the peasants.

13:20 He says it's fucking incredible. Never been in one. It's a 16. Yeah, GT3 RS. year, that's a 992, right? around. Oh, jeez. No, that's what I'm saying. yes. Yeah. That's a ridiculous car. Yeah. And it's weird too. The Plaid's great in every way, Look at that cool little screen. Yeah. I think I'm getting lazy and old. Just the shifts are so crisp and fast.

17:01 Yeah, I never. It is. How much difference? Technology-wise, Tesla has it beat. paying a quarter mil for a bespoke Porsche and a plaid wiping the floor with you. That's true. It seems kind of weird that they wouldn't juice that sucker up Yeah, that was insane. It defies time. Right. You even change gears with the screen. I just think they're going too far minimalist with buttons and stuff.

20:02 The platt's just like a straight line. I wasn't a huge fan of it. But is that fast? So this is the BMW. Accelerations whack is that the best they can do? 277 miles. That's like my old X right now. Yeah, it's whack. The range is whack. There might be some extra. You throw it away. That died so quickly. versus his quick-changing station. If 100 people come in for new batteries, fuck.

22:59 parts of the world that are in war right It's like, it's not really that green. You just scrape it off the top of water. that's just, it's exaggerated. I don't know how active this is, but there is a swap station So you say, really? So Tesla, they're making Teslas over there, right? So you're pumping all that juice into the battery. That's pretty impressive. I mean, as they get higher, obviously,

25:22 unless there's like 50,000 other cars there. So it's like a lot of people using the Wi-Fi. So I – Everything whatsoever, yes. I can't do those things. Because they're in control of the parts for it. I ran out of gas. You can't do it. And you break down the side of the road. How did you make the V8 engine interface with the Tesla dashboard? I don't know, you have your Porsche, right? Your GT3. You get in that car, you're sitting in it

28:54 You pull a Tesla out of a junkyard, you could get in it, sit in it, If the Tesla screen dies all of a sudden and Tesla says, you know what, I had enough of this, that V8, it'll still turn on and I can still go wherever I want. The Bluetooth works. The car works. Really? If you were to sit in that car right now, Eternal combustion engine T. That's it right there.

30:30 Yeah. We had to literally cut the car in half. So the floor is completely flat I mean, countless hours have gone into that. Yeah, I'm going to do it. He's like, hey, listen. Yeah, there's bracing and reinforcements all over the car. Yes. The car weighs next to nothing now. to build that. So that large, that was the first start. That was really fun. We had to build that

33:54 We were going to put a yoke in it as a joke. and um we were just doing drone outs and burnouts around their circle track the car it feels you Because the finished product is slower than a normal Tesla. to a show. it's the novelty. Listen, that's probably the only one that's going to get built. There's no building something, having all those memories,

36:21 I'll be like, that's my car. think about 4 425 or something like that and with a 3 000 pound car that's probably great it's really But what do you do to it? your knees and beg Elon to release a software update to give you 30 more horsepower. Which is cool, but I want more power. It's fun to drive. on your Plaid, I think. Really? You can get 3,000 horsepower out of an LS engine?

39:01 Absolutely. I saw one sold. I recently Always wanted one of those. The car rattles. It squeaks. The paint is terrible. It handles like a go-kart and it's awesome. And I'm like, I think I'm done here. Is it weird to drive with the right-hand side? At the end of the day, I just spent 50 grand and what do I have? You're very connected with the road. Daihatsu?

42:40 Yeah. It definitely needs it. But I'm, so look at the black one to the, to the, on definitely needs it. So look at the black one on top right there. So that's what it is. for driving a right-hand drive car? There's just been a flood of Japanese cars being imported because they're great on gas and they're normally pretty clean. Yes. That's a key car?

44:32 Yes. Why? But they are fun. I don't have any anymore. and it got it into the 400 horsepower range. I like the new one. How come you didn't get mid-engine car The shifter's right there. modern sports car, everything else looks like pregnant and bloated. It's tiny and it handles Oh, it's great. Go back to that other page that we were just on and click on the one below.

47:42 Yeah. And here's the scary part, right? It's like an i8. You're not getting very far with that. Yeah, exactly. Right. Yeah. who the hell is this guy? I could see someone in a different That looks sick. Look what he's done with the rear taillights and everything. It's like, at the end of the day, what are you doing? Yeah, the rear tail is a little much, the rear wing, but that's not bad.

50:42 I got duped. You play games at all? Really? Right. I know. But I think a video game combined with all kinds of crazy trauma, fucked up life, psych I don't think so. It's just fun. Every time some big event happens. No. I don't. Whose fault is it? They have it under lock and key. I don't know if it's that advanced yet where it determines who's life to take.

54:51 Right I know who I Could be A friend of mine got hit by a car and she was like, it was like two years ago. Yeah. Yeah, they stopped. People saw Really? and be isolated from sound. there's a lot of young, very It's like a get along with everybody Yeah, yeah, not that scene. I guess I was working on it. I respect it man. Yeah, I bought a club out here

57:11 Oh, geez. the six-year trail so there's a difference between someone wanting to do it recreationally a Herculean effort When I met Dave, he was 18, and he was already doing stand-up. Right. You know, and then you're frustrated because you bombed two out of three times. Right. Why can't someone teach you? gotcha they put together a course and the course serves function though one of the things that it

1:00:35 And that they're not teaching you shit. Yes. you're like wait my my family could be in here somewhere you ever think about that yeah all the She goes, what was on your mind when you said that? No. So it's like, dad's like, oh, glad you won't have Trump on your podcast. I just don't want to have a conversation with my mom about stuff like that. Well, my mother's like a die-hard

1:02:40 She doesn't have a Twitter. All political parties are whores. Aren't we all, Joe? You know you buy books in college, they'll throw, hey, having hey having trouble paying for your books the throw the little credit card application hey, look, we're going to ruin their credit at a young age got myself out through I don't even know how that happened but that same company

1:05:08 Fuck you, pay me. They were supposed to. Neither one of those things. Who are you impersonating? Student loans are disgusting because you're taking a kid who's real nervous about their life. end of your life yeah right you're like seven years old right that's it fuck you pay me that's You know what I mean? I didn't fucking pay. these overwhelming burdens of debt money right so my I went to my my my dentist

1:07:35 Everyone's great looking. another debate but she she ended up staying in Mass, thank God. My husband is a dentist and I have a dentist too. Like, I don't understand this. That's because that's, she's been out of school for I bet it's an incentive. Maybe we'll get some people to get suckered into our credit card. Right. Because school loans, like your one semester, two semesters, it adds up, stacks up.

1:10:38 And if she makes $200, she's also got to pay taxes on that $200. Yeah. you have a dream of being a stand-up comedian yeah that's shit no way it's not gonna happen rebuild your business. Nope. It's not going to happen. Hon, I took a course on how to be a comedian. What makes more money? Right. If you are not a funny person, But if you suck, okay. It's a lot of processing.

1:14:01 or whatever, your iPad, and then they just sort of keep those ideas in their head, remember you have acts that are over an hour long how does that work i have a good memory yeah so Yeah, it's got a bunch of different nootropics in the gum. it helps reaction time, your ability to form sentences. game hey take the alpha brain it's not enough it's not enough you don't necessarily have to

1:16:19 So you think that people that learn how to be comedians that weren't funny before, they're just good orators. then there's Chris Rock funny. There's certain, there's certain Yeah, I do. Right. And I'm just like, how do you even, are you kidding me? She just got out of a mosh pit. Are you okay? It didn't work out. It just didn't work out. I personally just, you are not funny.

1:18:42 There's a lot of people that suck gotcha okay I don't even know who's singing it. Understood. I love great lyrics. See, I love that too, but believe it or not, Joe, I like a lot of the modern stuff too. You know and Nas is still making great stuff. His last CD was great. His joint? are just I like but it's still art. There are people that do enjoy that.

1:21:39 Like, this isn't music. Also, I've only done ecstasy once right? Right. Yeah. Buffalo Soldier. Yeah, it's like, whoa, what the hell? So I guess calmer music is better. Whoa. I don't think they're high on marijuana. I think they're high on something else. They're all high on mo they're all high on... I don't think they're high on marijuana. Copyright, copyright.

1:24:12 How come we can't hear it? I don't know honestly. I'm trying to figure out right now people with that I saw I thought I saw that I had one sure it wasn't a bong It's a weird alien thing. Dance drugs are real. What is that? He eats ass. See, I love that song. I love you. She loves her house. Do you? Have you ever thought about performing in some sort of a way?

1:27:00 my way of acting and i have a lot of really cool, I don't want to say cool, really weird videos that I've done where I integrate skits and comedy into the video itself. Couldn't get parts for them. and there's so much news at once, based on the million subscriber. Dude, that video, we filmed literally everything. It's weird. Car channels are probably one of the most expensive channels to run.

1:29:41 Let's figure something out. Everything that I had to do was improv. And it was probably one of the most fun times I've ever had. And so I enjoy doing stuff like just a little bit more sketch random comedy and stuff. do through comedy. If you have an issue, you could do it through artistic art. So there was, Hey, can I get your order? Hey, what's your name? They write your name wrong, make all these jokes.

1:32:31 just like a regular guy, but he wasn't cool, can't get a girl make minimum wage in today culture, it's all about who has the most money. What can you do for me type of thing. So as time went on, it was so awkward because I could tell he was uncomfortable. That's hard to do that, right? I'm gonna talk to this guy. They're like, no, he left, so and so and so.

1:34:36 I think it coincided within three days of that. Jesus. So I want to something like that. I think the what would be the way you would do it though my screenplay so I want to make a story about him because no one he's a faceless They just thought he just like, A lot of people. and no one knew the difference. so much that she actually got her to the to the hospital. But do you believe that?

1:37:20 jars. You're probably not. No, absolutely not. Can you get a Would it be a scent? A possible whiff of a fart? then yeah, you're fine. Just seal it up. You'll have it for It always escapes. Well, everyone he's showing it to gives a bad reaction, but they could just be asking for the smell. But yeah, so they sell the farts in the jar. And I always had a thing where whenever-

1:38:55 I don't know. Well, I guess you could take the temperature at the same time That's fine. if like my I had a question feel I'll ask you after this but my my daughter That's real. A lot of people are suffering. attack he was under he had open-heart surgery and when you have long-term This is awesome. you're working and you're making a very small amount of money barely enough to take care of

1:42:56 If you make minimum wage, how do you break the cycle and get into something and then all of this? Probably not. Right. I need your help, Joe. And they always give you that false sense of security like, oh, my mom said it. Also, what you're talking about with social media, you're dealing with the expectations absolutely you know you've seen those memes of girls that are pretending to be

1:45:12 You're a sensitive guy, and you're thinking about these people that are fucked. How did it go wrong? in the sense that it's like comedy. All day and then one day your body stops working. Absolutely. Some people don't have it in them too I think something the unfortunate part is that not hard truths that hey listen these things might not happen for you right what do

1:47:45 Yeah. Well, how about the U.S.? What in the 1% of the world. Really? Yeah. I think it's like- Yeah. Okay. okay so that'd be a husband and a wife and okay according to a recent study uh uh finance website Individual is $129,000. But, you know, 1% of the world. There's a lot of money. That's a lot of money to be in the top. But, you know, 1% of the world.

1:49:34 Yeah, 34,000. save the world their net worth is over 11 million though that's quite a bit That's a lot of fucking money. the haves and the have-nots. What do you think That's a good question. but I think guns. Oh, all kinds of disgusting things. You'd be in fisticuffs left and right. But if we, I think at a larger scale. So what's most I guess you could

1:52:44 to make it better? He's probably going to shoot the place up at some point, right? I mean, I don't know if that – Launch like three arrows on them. Four arrows. Hunt food. You'd have to use a born arrow, Joe. You could use that. Use an arrow to cut elk. You know? That's easy. I believe that. Because the chicken was stuck on his dick. Like, how much did he want to keep this chicken alive?

1:55:01 We don't have the tools to sedate this chicken. So, I think they gave it a very small dose of a sedative that could go to a vet. We don't have the tools to sedate this chicken. So I think AR rifle check in 2020? If it was 250 people a year, that would be the same amount or close to it. that's five years of total number of people killed. The crazy part is, who writes this down?

1:56:39 What I had seen, it was a one-year thing. When it says, okay, according to FBI, think that you know people have died from a flipper but really I know them Why the light bulb? Why would someone do that? Well, have you ever seen the documentary Zoo? Horses are hung. Yeah. Yes. At that point. Yeah. and then they filmed it and they had hundreds of hours of people having sex

2:00:51 That's the guy? Oh my goodness. Pignon suffered a perforated colon from being shafted by the horse and later died from it. Yeah, I'm good. I think they met online. I'm sure. I don't think it's the person wanting to fuck an animal. I didn't know. Catherine the Great, Somebody has been. All throughout history They buck like crazy. People like all kinds of shit.

2:04:18 Right. and killed by it eventually and shit. Yeah. You blocked that out. It says it's frequented by men who engage in sex acts with animals. Stop talking. to fuck you. Like, you know, it's is as long as my arm, and then you look at his body You're pretty good at it. Multifaceted. Duh. Probably not. I just like to be around animals. I don't think it was even their horse. I think it was someone else's horse.

2:07:17 Right. Right. warm. Consent is not in the law. U.S. law. The notion of animal consent does not appear anywhere in law. So, like, we buy meat from an animal killed, I think they have to as a factor. Because if I think they have to witness it. It must come from ruminant animals with cloven or split hooves such as cows, sheep, goats, lambs, oxen, and deer. Where does the rest of the meat go?

2:10:03 So there's chicken, geese, quail, dove, and turkey. I don't think he ate anything. Can you be vegan and kosher? Thank you very much. Hold on a second here. that. So because you can't mix milk and meat, cheeseburgers are out of the question. That's good to know. major money embezzlement misdirection of funds for example if if someone pays you And that's what I'd like to know more of.

2:13:39 Like I always wondered that, like there's times where we look to authority for answers for things a long time ago i i own a a house that i rent out and um the guy was dealing drugs out of Yeah, really sad what happened, right? I wish he could have stayed. just to let you know, when the police came, I had $160,000 in cash hitting in the walls, Right.

2:15:47 Right. Right. Yeah. Like are there hidden millionaires that we don't know about, people that aren't in the public eye, have made amassed all this wealth due to You're not nefarious. You know how there's like evil people out there, just inherently evil people? Yeah. Or Russian oligarchs and evil people. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be kind of cool. He built the biggest boat in the world,

2:18:43 But it's a fucking ridiculously long boat. That's a lot of coke, Joe. What's that horse doing here? And he was like some telecommunications guy in another country. She goes, yeah. a 70 million dollar yacht like what's the difference I have a friend who owns a yacht. I bet he's got multiple yachts. Forever. Yeah. reason. And they use it as a way to like launder money and they sell the boat later.

2:21:12 Not him. Is Gru really evil though? And to become a leader and to become, and like that's what those guys are doing. No one does that. not a very big goal, but I never want to have to go back to working a nine to five ever again. I guess you'll never know Joe. No, it's it's a weird thing where They want to be popular. I said, why? Is $100,000 or $200,000 okay?

2:24:24 They want to be popular, and they want to be seen. There is something to that. Like I've had some The second I turned that car, that camera on, Joe, he started making all these jokes, being lively, talking, dancing, promoting his, seriously, promoting his Instagram, making all these off-color jokes. It's all about clout, Joe. Everyone wants to be on that level as well.

2:26:07 On my hand three people that aren't like that the second there. I want in the video again No. if you have all the money in the world, the next step for them. Yeah, I know a guy like that. Like, what's the next logical step? Don't be like this. It's so, it's super competitive, especially in the car space. always had money that say, hey, listen, we want to do this now. There are companies that have always had money

2:28:20 What you should do is, I enjoy your show. You have competition, Joe? It got big by me just doing this. but imagine if I started thinking about my competitors Yeah, that's not okay. He's great. Do you see it as we all, there's enough room for all of us to eat? Right. Start one. The Rich V. Goats podcast. Knock you off that pedal, Joe. It's just you being a person.

2:30:47 Just don't think about other people. And don't let them fuck you either. Yeah. And, like, maybe, you know, pick up rock climbing or something like anything where you have Right. No, definitely not. Yeah. But at the end of the day, you're not going to have any idea. You know, who knows? I think that's a fear that I have personally. Right. I like watching people that are into, I like watching people take apart watches and finish

2:34:11 They're just moaning. And I think that's what people get out of your show, that you're clearly fascinated Yeah, look at you smile. Yeah. Yes. No, but they'll be like, eh, it smells, and then and then. This is the greatest fucking car ever. Look at fucking Jay Leno's garage. It's fucking nuts, man. Maybe I could even arrange that. That wouldn't be that hard.

2:36:23 He doesn't have a fucking stylist. He's wearing jean jackets and shit. A jean shirt. Yeah. He doesn't wear makeup on that show. He doesn't have a fucking stylist. I don't think he's running around thinking whether or not he's relevant. you have control over that is attractive you guys don't have Yeah. How did you get that thing? But I couldn't afford that.

2:37:40 Is this where you bought it? It looks like a toy. You won't get there fast, but you'll get there. So it has an onboard gas tank, and in the wheels themselves They're all from Ukraine. Yeah. Is that what it is? Huh. What is the cheapest Sherp? So they only have the pro, which is the big one. So I went down there. It has a trailer where you can fit all your buddies in it.

2:40:04 The trailer floats too. There you go. That is fucking wild. I've got to get a ranch. Yeah. It does. I took it to Dunkin' Donuts. All right. It's on YouTube. Thank you, thank you. Do you have Instagram and your show. Tell everybody, Rich Rebuilds. It's on YouTube. Not on Twitter. Appreciate you.
