0:00 Yee-haw! Alright, we're live, dude. That's it. We're going. Really? They're the ones that dropped that Apache helicopter the blades got too close and caught it and it dropped them. And he and a bunch of other pilots were like, hey, we could do stuff with TV, with movies, whatever. You have to be. just above the blades of the other, and they're I don't feel like there's any of those on Amazon

2:43 in a helicopter. Yes. Right. It was lovely. it's like a couple more inches gets is the worst part for me, because you can feel, when you feel that wind push up against the blade, and it's like, are we gonna go down any second that's true when it takes off or when it lands is the worst part for me It's not my favorite. Yeah, I think That's what he says.

4:42 When I was in high school, a buddy of Mine was taking flight lessons when I was in high school like if i hear his name broadcast over the pa, I'm probably going to get off the plane But if hit the wing I mean you look at what it did to the front of the plane like if it hit just hit That's a whole different. Just boom, soft spot right in there. And it was one of the bottles that was in the plane that went down on the Hudson.

7:14 I mean, they had... Maybe a funeral service director. Just going for it. Swayze suspected of drunk flying It's weird that, like, Patrick Swayze would wear stuff in those movies that, like, if our friends wore, we'd kind of make fun of. Keep like off? Roadhouse. He got killed. As you know. I forgot he was in it. Diet of cancer underwent surgery to remove metastatic tissue from both lungs. Oh wow,. And that's what, in Alabama, that's what we call a car wreck.

10:29 The guy was nuts. Just hardcore. But in his mind, they were the jam, right? stuff that they like. T-tops and a few of them. Those were death. Well, on my show Lost in Transmission, we had to take one. But, like, sometimes when people try to get mad at you on Facebook, it's so much funnier to read. And let's all agree that these should all be put in a pile and nuked right these are awful

13:13 He makes me get on top of his shitty fucking car. I like how they redid the back lights. Oh, yeah, I mean, they're kind of cool they're kind of cool that's cool but they're not cool compared to the 60s mustangs and they're not And then in the 2000s, like I had a 2010 Shelby GT500. No. And there's really only a handful of cars that you feel like when you see someone on

14:58 But there's just certain cars that people that love them are sometimes just, People have always said that about Porsches. Well, he's also so enthusiastic about it that it's contagious. And I think your buddies at Shark Works took him a newer one, like a 14, that he got to And he made it 800 horsepower. a mind-bogglingly fast it's a fucking time machine and he let Magnus drive it

16:52 It's disgusting. I love the gold wheels It's not my car, but the bottom line is driving it though. What a goddamn experience. Yeah. Oh Your foot is like, hey, let's do this. Ridiculously fast. Feel it, brother. Have you ever been there? No. What is that like? 7 minutes and 30 Tanner Faust. It's like one gigantic fraternity and sorority that everyone likes everyone unless you're

19:49 Just push them in there. But Tanner's right? It's about four. I think. Is it maybe? Yeah, you're right. It's about 400 horsepower. California is the worst. I live in California. And I drove down there, and you have to take the 405 to get down there. You know? For no real reason. I'm I'm so nervous going anywhere here Cause they have these huge parties out there around the races.

23:07 And you just get in and you kind of just ride it. To a German Porsche, a modern German Porsche. You still have to use your blinker, and you can only pass on the left, and I was like, I can keep up with this son of a bitch. The Mini Cooper's checked out. He didn't That's hilarious. Because you've heard of friends that are like, oh, I took this new car to the track and then

25:18 kind of import smaller race cars you can rent. Have you driven one? Hertz? I think it's Hertz. Hertz has some pretty That car. I mean, they're getting more expensive now it's such a bargain, that car. It doesn't feel like the GT3 handles amazing, but it makes sense. And that's part of their strategy in some sort of strange way, but it fucking works.

27:08 around all these industrial boxes and crates. And I think the city of Long Beach tried to get mad at us afterwards. What are they, pussies? And he only had like three degrees of slip on it. That was such a glaring error on their part to make this incredible car, You wouldn't see me get out of a car and think, that guy's got a Vette because I don't have

28:42 about corvettes changed because that car i, it's the same as that car. well, this is a fucking terrible car. No. And that's just them listening, you know, which you've got to appreciate. Yeah, and they finally, they're like, yeah, let's do it. And I'd just smile like, what the fuck are you talking about? They closed down some sections of downtown L.A., and he had a really recent model GT2, which is just a stupendously fast car.

30:57 996? And changed the clutch, did a bunch of little tuning on it. the same one, Can you say it like that? I wouldn't say queered off. The gear shifter just spinning Like, okay. I had a half tank of gas, but I did not have a half tank of gas. a little secret? There was a, I saw a good looking being in the cars don't especially if they're like you're that guy. Right. You just don't need more of that in your life turns out. Yeah. Being in the cars.

34:00 these regular streets in that GT2. when to hit the gas. Oh, my gosh. Is it really? It's really the same skills. because they couldn't really sell it to the public. Do you really? It still has a Really? I think they called them Minutemen, where you It was awesome. Because you have to put on a low boy, on 44-inch super swaffers, It's really fun. Yeah, that's where I learned how to drive in the snow, in the parking lot.

38:10 I remember this girlfriend that I had back in Boston took the car that I had to a parking lot once. That's basically what drifting is. So, again, one of the reasons he's so good at what he does. through the air. And I was like, that's it. Fuck that. And my two friends that got hurt, smooth safe environment you would feel you would feel they're all these guys

40:12 He lives up in New Hampshire. So you take this really seriously. The brakes are as big for the rear wheels as they are for the front Yes. Right. stuff that i can't i can only do 11 things at one time i can't add a 12th so when watching him He's got nine to the wheels out of Tanner's new car. Yes. That's insane. It's about that car? Because he took, was it a 65?

43:03 So it transcended, like, people like me that love import cars and high horsepower. Right? why wouldn't he do that to a car that's like a really cool car like why do that because he's built this one, just like Tanner's car. What a great name, by the way. That's hilarious. That's so really fun stuff out there man. If you if you make it to Atlanta you got to come drive it

45:38 No? Oh, God. But when the boost starts to build, wise. Well, I, the best part It looks like there's a vintage AC. But my wife will actually ride in stuff with me. Like in the woods. I found this ad on there that this national motorsports company was looking for a marketing guy that could be an MC. And so I sent all my stuff in and it was one of those

48:35 I was at all the other races. your real cousin like you guys ever you know go to dinner or see a movie or... And so he starts, he's like, yeah, good friends, really enjoyed it. that they got you that game somehow through the grapevine What's that? Like they saw her order that pumpkin spice latte. We had a guy like that on Fear Factor once. And they thought it was funny when we first talked about having this guy on the show.

52:22 Right. What if that was the entire conversation? fucking really? TV show. He threw her to the ground on a TV show to do. What did the producers say to and, you know, you're on rooftops with them and shit Because I looked in his eyes while I was talking to him, and there was nobody there. bad we were like we only hope he never finds that girl you know can I can I ask

55:08 Sure. they wrote for The Simpsons, they created a show, and then the show became, once it The scripts were insanely funny, and the people were. Sure. The guy running the show is a genius. The writers were fantastic. The scripts were insanely funny No way. Yeah. It was madness. But it was one of the I'm on the greatest sitcom of all time. Yeah. canceled.

57:01 because there weren't a ton. None of us, we were all outliers. No one belonged, you know. Because they're hoping that they didn't meet you and forget you because they don't give a fuck about you How does she have a show and they would like that shit like shit would happen when we have guest stars. Sure. No one did. Andy and exaggerated wacky shit about me and exaggerate it but

59:57 And I'm sorry, I can't remember if it was stand-up that I was watching you or the podcast. I don't ever have to wake up and wonder who to be. Like, super easy to like. He's just a master at that and there's a difference between those people and the people that just want to be famous fucking crazy she went when she got a sitcom. You know, she was like, I was fucking crazy,

1:02:17 for her time. Like, she's My poor guy. He is had to do and then it didn't work out it's weird man some days my wife will be like hey can we um can You marry someone you love. Everybody's happy. that he puts on everything. Amazing. Shoma Shamas. What a great... I can get you a toe by three o'clock with nail polish. Amazing. these cars that that we had each pick for this celebrity we found out like halfway through it's

1:05:55 What, did y'all tell, I think he was, but he's one of those people that I don't think he can hear other people. Well, you know what, what weirds me out? It's just, I... It's not a good look. Oh, with Rosie O'Donnell. Let's think about who's listening to this. You're talking about a multi-millionaire movie star, world-famous comedian. What standards do you have?

1:11:05 It's the more. He's got steaks. Right when they get sad about the fucking icebergs melting, they shoot them in the fucking head and cut them up, drag them down to New York. Right. I forget what the entire story was, but there was a story that I read in one of those magazines, I think you have to trade in, like, okay, look, he claimed his network was $9 billion.

1:13:21 he had hit a really bad spot. Donald Trump's like, this guy's a loser. There has to be this good balance of They asked me to be on that Celebrity Apprentice thing. enough money where I was like, hmm. even dancing with the stars. It's like dancing with the used to be stars like a long time ago. Like when I go to the supermarket and I see Us Weekly and I look at the cover.

1:16:13 and it's something that is just a natural thing that people come home, And then they'll sit down. You want some chips? Well, if you get used to that thing being on, well, you'll watch almost anything. room when it comes on, and if they edit it quick enough for no reason right there's not a goddamn thing they've ever said that You ever seen that show?

I was at work is either someone throwing up or someone thinking they were going to throw up. That was one thing that really was shocking to me. seven and five. Seven and five. That means you've

1:23:42 Yeah. They're like bubble guppies in People at home are like, yeah, not fantastic. It is a ride. I think it was in Illinois. And we were just trying to get them out of the car to stretch their legs. Our four-year-old Millie is on my shoulders, hey, dude, if you're not going to dress up like it, And then there's the eight girls from about five high school girls dressed as Raggedy Ann. They walk by. And then there's the

1:26:00 Millie, the four-year-old, says, That's the And I said, Millie, that wasn't very sweet. They need to know that not everything is the Disneyland parade. Yeah. Well, there was one that was about an hour or so outside of Vegas. So we got out and they had like a fake gunfight and the whole thing. about for like the whole weekend was that fucking shitty wild west show that we stopped off just

You think it's going to stop and, like, use the doorbell? It's going through your window. Some of my show very nice and some of them really believe Right. They just yell out into the holler.

1:31:02 He said, well, that one was fake, but this one's real. Oh, please play some of this fucking stupid shit. I had this weird recurring dream. You got two things playing at the same time. I didn't believe he was actually outside there. Paranormal Witness Season 3. That means they had two other seasons of this shitty show. the neighbor had a black lab? It's possible

1:33:01 That they recreated this. They actually that people keep saying that they find in their bodies? Right. And we were looking at each other. I love that Florida is your go-to. Well, I had my friend Jim Florentine was on the podcast the other day. Because you realize in Florida, girls would just fuck. Once when I was getting it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What was the MTV show, Jersey Shore?

1:36:24 That's what's confusing to me. Great question. Did you ever see the video, the one where Snooki got punched in the face? And it was like, I'll meet you after school. It was fucked up how easy that guy punched her. It was just like he decided he didn't want her talking anymore, so he just knuckled her right in the face. Here it goes. Yeah. Where did MMA?

1:38:24 Yeah, I worked at the UFC before Dana. That's where you would see it. martial artist it was entirely fascinating And they literally didn't give And the implications are ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.

1:51:10 He was on stage and she came up behind him and he punched her in the face and dropped her. some side roads out in the desert. There's nothing but Joshua Gentle I try to be nice man shit goes wrong sometimes you've ever had people precariously i was standing standing on an eight-foot-tall platform. And you're drunk.

Diamonds on his chains. two dudes escaped from new york i i learned late yesterday that the reason that chick helped him It just comes out. Slowly but surely, the guy works his way in.

2:01:23 Never, right? Just her whole body is just a tragedy. She doesn't climb this guy would shoot my husband Yeah, that's what I would do. The people are nicer. And they have like a whole different world. You know, it's Poulet. Yeah, I would think that that would be the move, though. Me and Tommy, we'll get out. It does seem that way. That's a nice language, though.

2:05:10 Because the real Top Gear, original Top Gear rather, in England, which was Jeremy Clarkson, Richard May, and... James May. Hilarious folks. And they said it was the most viewed show in the world. So, yeah, it's a big. And they got really upset that we were doing an American version but we didn't know about them like we just went and they wanted to watch us squirm and go have fun.

2:07:07 I assume he's going to have two people with him. This is our group. he'd gotten in so much trouble before dinner or whether something should be cold there was cold cuts instead of like a hot steak or Yeah, I don't know. everybody else it just was one of those things that happen I mean, there's a reason why the show is popular, It's an ensemble. sometimes people wouldn't want to loan us cars because things that they had done.

2:10:19 Yeah. They have to. But they were in, because Ken Block was helping them out in South Africa this week. he's got some killer toys he's a helicopter guy too he lives in like a castle i'm sure how much He makes YouTube videos. and American flag bandanas on. So the whole time I was like, you guys know that's Tanner Faust over there. It's like a Casio G-Shock that they dipped in gold chrome.

2:13:04 The show wasn't what we wanted it to be at all. We're crazy. like it was a man's nipple no one would care but it's Janet Jackson's nipple shirt off because they have laws in New New York, you're allowed to do that. I was. It was a tough. Were you really? I was. He makes a lot of money off that shit. Oh, this is a different one, I think. I think there's more than one naked cowgirl. Good for her. But she's topless. There he is. The naked cowgirl. Good for her. Oh, this is a different one, I think.

2:15:19 You can't have your vagina out. But you can have the whole idea of clothes is just Yeah. ever see, and you need to not shout that afterwards. And that used to be a man. Exactly. Then. Totally cool. to take out their lawns are they calling it hardscape? You don't think about it? It's a big religious college. Oh. Whoa. Is that what you're saying? Rebates received by homeowners for replacing

2:19:06 I like to play pool. you could find that someone was just explaining that to me the other day I Yeah. Huh. I've never played it. Really? swim with the little stick and try to get as many balls as I could. Yeah. So there's 100 miles of golf cart path there. And you can soup them up. Oh, that's not funny at all. You're poisoning bugs. That loop seems pretty obvious to us, doesn't it?

2:22:42 That's the only way to keep it pretty. Designed Zyklon A by a Jew. And apparently that method that he developed in 19-fucking-10 or some shit like that during That's the kind of podcast that you relax and listen to? Pot does not fuck with your memory. and he used this like i think it was a chlorine gas he used it on the uh english and the the But I've been on this World War I kick lately.

2:26:13 never really looked into it. I'd be like, what? What the fuck were we talking about? Nice to meet you. You need some fucking alpha brain, I really, you have genuine interest in feedback and stuff like that. We live in that kind of, like, a weird thing, but. pretend you're someone who you're not just seems to me like a lot of goddamn effort a lot of work

2:28:38 I pay girls to suck my dick. And everybody's like, yes! Still people loved the fact that he was being who he really is Like The Bachelor. I hope you got your rocks off. How much does your life suck that you need to go attack a stranger virtually? I mean, people always talk about the negative people they deal with on the internet. I feel like if you're going to be critical of of my pictures let me be critical of yours there's a

2:32:13 but when they said I was on Top Gear or when I started being on TV for NASCAR, But I would say 95% of the time, I at least like to know. and he you would have thought i cussed his mother he came after me so hardcore at that with the world. Yeah. I shared you. You know, it's not being a bully. Do I have a bigger platform I'll give you an earful. to figure it out we don't know what the fuck we're doing all the normal shit

2:35:08 You'd be like, Mike's a dick. Cause you pick your friends if you're a wise person and you'll have a better life if you do straight. And that's a lot of people. I have I don't I just block them immediately. Yeah, I don't even think twice to me thank you you're a very friendly guy like what why did he decide that you were a dick It is a great guy. Honestly, it's great to write with people.

2:37:34 and he did a bunch of shows. Yeah. a chili dog. You know, they want to reach out. There's a lot of that. even a one you know people talk about the be you so it's like a not even a But if you are not living a life that you enjoy, you're, you're going to have this fucking It's all day is fuck this guy in his fucking Corvette You had a program computer program all right and your computer was programmed by someone like me

2:40:38 be a disaster. It would be crashing every And then it's our job as the kids who got fucked up And those are the people that eat chili dogs with windbreakers on and smile to your face through this gigantic marble in space, it will kind of blow your mind. But the fact that you I can't believe that happens. But it's because I wanted to do something about it.

2:43:17 and they don't have a job, and they're trying to find a job, And for people who are not having a good time, one of the most punishing things is watching someone live their life better. Okay, let's pretend I took some drifting lessons today. It's a lot easier to shit on them. Yeah. you start shitting away just crapping on strangers fuck you you fucking shitty fucking host you bad

2:45:51 But I think it's a temporary stop. too far away from now where we're going to share thoughts in some sort of a weird way. Like brain to brain communication. Like those kinds of thoughts, because I think they think you identify in your head what that word means, So they knew what it was because of the binary, but I it's a shower. Hello or something like that Hello, goodbye, well

2:48:15 That's a weird situation, huh? I don't know either. that captured electrical signals generated by his cortex Whoa. It will be ridiculous in the future because we'll just have something that's far more satisfying, far more direct. Totally. nootropics nootropics that was close they'll help your dad with his memory is that it oh yeah for We've got work left to do it's not important to me

2:52:00 research or go back but I remember most of them, most of the big ones, most important Like all of a sudden my brain went, yeah, yeah. Like, it'll keep them for, like, like, it's like sort of like tweets. You know, I think that's also going to be one of the things that gets resolved with or whatever the fuck it is. I'll show you. But you know what's really bumming me out

2:54:28 If you have to like, you know, like every Tanner Faust guy is allowed to drive whatever the fuck he wants. Like one of the reasons why people like older cars because you don't have to smog them hell. Yes That's it. It seems like if you've been drinking, it's a genius idea. He's just doing a standing burnout at the stoplight Dude, I had a great time talking to you.

2:56:24 I feel like I just got here. Yes, we just ran our season of Lost in Transmission. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we'll be back tomorrow with hypnotist Vinny Shorman,
