(00:24):
Hey, guys, welcome to unInfluenced. Uh oh, hey guys,
Yeah, we didn't miss them lastweek. We did questions and answer.
Still I missed you guys last week. Yeah, but uh no I didn't.
This week, we're gonna kind ofdo just a kind of a hybrid
Q and A and everything kind ofget ramped back up because I ain't gonna
lie. We took a break.Guys. We're tired. We're old.

(00:45):
That's right, so old and tired. Yeah, so we got a couple
of subjects we're gonna hit on.Let me uh get over to that because
I'm a dumb ass and moved it. Get into this Will Smith slapping Chris
Rock thing, and then some dumbass ship Biden says, and then we

(01:08):
might get into that budget old oldBiden did, Um, what the hell
have you been getting into? Iwas gonna well, so I was gone
last week. I was out oftown delivering a dog. I'm not gonna
say where, but I did thatand got got that handled, and so
yeah, I've been been. Iwas fucking gone all week. So um,

(01:30):
that's why we split the episodes intotwo, two separate weeks. What
have you? Before we actually getinto I did want to. I wanted
to address a comment that was inuh In. I think it was the
last show that we did where therewas a guy and I want to preface
this with I'm not talking shit.I'm not trying to pack a fight.
You're welcome to your opinion. Wewelcome them, even if they're you know,

(01:51):
different from ours, and even ifyou're taking shots at us, whatever,
fucking bring it. But it wasit was to the effect of,
you know, like you chee dicks, why don't you go drive on the
track. That's where skills, skillsare important. You know, the street
there's no corners, which doesn't evenmake any sense, but whatever, I
wanted to address that first, takingone step back, I will say that,

(02:15):
yeah, there is a ton oftechnical expertise on a track, you
know that exists that is different fromon the street. To me, I
don't look at it as an eitheror you know that there's enough similarities.
Driving is ultimately driving on a track. There's elements of it that are safer
in that you know, you canascertain or assume that there's not going to

(02:38):
be a fucking two by four inthe middle of a lane. There's not
going to be patches of sand orbroken glass or some dude fucking you know,
wandering across the street. On thesame token, you're also pushing those
cars to a way, way higherlimit than you are on the street because
of the ability to make that assumption. So to me that that kind of
evens a lot of things out.I don't know what the stats are on

(02:59):
people that you know, how manypeople die street racing every year versus people
that die in track accidents. I'dlove to see what that is, but
it needs to be representative of theper capita the percentage of people that do
it versus die doing it for itto be an Apple's tables to comparisons.
Anyway, my point is is thatthere's there's one thing that I will say,

(03:21):
um, where I'm going to disagreewith you heavily, is that there's
a bike race called the Isle ofMan t T. I think it's a
dial of Man t T. It'sAisle of Man It's a motorcycle race on
the fucking street. Um, there'sa bunch of other bikes and it's a
it's a street environment. It's fuckingamazing to watch. And if you're going
to tell me that those guys,because they're doing it on a street environment,

(03:42):
don't have the same level of competencythat that track riders do. You're
out of your fucking mind. Um. And there's also a lot of people,
um, you know from a carstandpoint that that drive fast on the
street that are far better drivers thananybody else I know that don't fucking track
race that don't you know we weekendget together on open track days, what

(04:05):
have you. But are super supercompetent. The level of skill that you
do driving, the discretion that youuse while you're driving in terms of when
you're pushing it versus when you're notin conjunction with the capability and the quality
from an engineering standpoint and competency ofthe actual car itself also plays a huge

(04:27):
role, you know, driving theway that we drive sometimes in the cars
that we drive them in versus aseventeen year old driving a fucking a two
thousand and four Honda Civic at onehundred and fifty hundred and sixty miles an
hour is also very different as well. So I would hope that you know
us well enough, you know,to know that that we're not total fucking

(04:47):
dip shits. You know, andwe're not irresponsible the way a fucking nineteen
year old would be. In alot of ways, there's a time and
a place for doing certain things,and there's a time and a place for
not We do use discretion pretty heavily. And I just wanted to throw that
out there because I do or Idon't want to miss have us misrepresent what

(05:09):
we do, how we do itwhen we do it, like we're just
a couple of fucking mavericks out thereon the fucking ninja racing the fucking airplane
and top gun whatever. So that'sall I wanted to say. And there
are there's times to touch on thata little bit. There's times where one
of us will get ahead of theother because the condition to stay behind the

(05:31):
other isn't safe. Yeah, soyou know, we fall back, We
wait till it's safe, and wecatch up. The other normally slows down,
lets them catch up. And it'sjust part of it. Like you
said, we're not out there beingtotal fucking idiots. We always make sure,
I say we, I think wechange our tires more than the average
person does to make sure we're alwayson fresh tires, our old change our

(05:54):
services are done very regular the carsare maintained perfectly, I mean, and
also paying a tension to road conditions, temperature, tire temperature, tire pressure,
like we monitor all that shit,both before we drive as well as
while we're driving. Like there's there'scertain things that neither of us will do
if if the temperature isn't at acertain level, or if the tire temperature

(06:15):
isn't at a certain level, Iwon't push the card hard at all unless
traffic permits and there's at least onehundred and ten degrees in the tires,
you know, plain and simple,because I just fucking know better, you
know, And again, those aren'tthings we usually talk about. Um,
you know, And again maybe that'sa poor assumption on our part, but
I think that, you know,the point that I'm trying to make is

(06:36):
just don't assume that we're out thereacting like total fucking assholes, because we're
not. But anyway that, youknow, I don't want to waste the
whole fucking hour on it. Ohno, we got plenty of Yeah,
no fucking have at it. It'sour show. Fuck, I'm just kidding.
Yeah, I saw that comment andthen the track I did reply.
I think. We both replied that, Uh, we've both been on it,

(07:00):
so it's not like we've never beenon a track. We don't know
how to drive on a track.And in fact, we'll probably go on
a track with some of the carshere this year. Possibly there are a
couple mentioned that we may go on. Um, so that may be coming
up. Yeah. Uh, andif we do, you're welcome to come
out about that. Yeah. Iain't gonna say, but I've had some

(07:24):
people in my car that can drivevery well and tend to be like,
damn it when I when I'm donewith them. Uh, Now, Clint,
that motherfucker he ain't driving my car. Now, what's up, Clint?
Yeah you can drive my car.Yeah, I just don't want to
watch it. How about that?Yeah, come get your wheels and your

(07:46):
bike. Yeah, ain't your bike. I'm throwing some supplements. Uh yeah.
So this week you were gone fora week, you came back.
And before we get into the threesubjects, I do want to thank you
Saturday. I've had some stuff happeningto where I'm I'm not haven't been a
competent driver, haven't been I haven'tbeen a comfortable. I'm still competent.

(08:07):
I just haven't been comfortable. Andwe'll get into that in a few weeks.
Why but we went to an eventthis weekend and Mike's here, and
take the Pista for one. Thatcar is intimidating to even think of driving.
And then I get in it andI've heard I've took it. What
I took it two miles before whenyou first got it, drove it around,

(08:28):
it was cold, and I didn'twant to do much with it,
and I was like, this thing'sjust awesome. Y'all have heard us talk
about the Pista a lot. AndMike asked me after I think I drove
about one hundred and thirty miles Saturday, and he said, so give me
your honest opinion on the Pista.And here's my honest opinion on the Pista.
That car is. You hear Miketalk about it all the time,

(08:48):
and even to the point to whereI hear him talking about it. I'm
like, come on, dude,it's it's a car. It's good,
but it's a fucking car. Andmy exact words, we worry word to
him. That car isn't something tobe explained, It's only something to be
experienced. And that's one hundred percent. Sitting in that car every time I
think I got into it, Iwould say five times getting out getting back

(09:13):
in every time it felt special.It's really weird and hard to explain to
you guys, so I'll do thebest that I can. From a non
owner's perspective, that car, tome, feels like a car that meshes
and gels with its owner. Overtime they both become one. So to
hear Mike talk about that, I'mlike, what the fuck are you talking
about? And I've been in onthe track and the GT three and I'm

(09:37):
like, yeah, that car Ifelt that, but it wasn't fast,
yeah you know, and it didn'tfeel special. It just felt like a
sheitty glove. It works, butit's just not great. You mean,
it felt like some pussy with somesand in it. Yeah, it's just
exactly like you've got to keep pullingout and spitting on your ship. Did
you really just say that? Yes? I did. But the pista for

(09:58):
those of y'all that have really studiedit and you're always like, oh,
is this the piece to show?So I'm an non owner, not kissing
his ass nothing. That car isliterally the perfect fucking car. Is it
the fastest car? No? Isit the most exotic car? No.

(10:20):
When I got out of the car, he's I told him there's one fucking
thing I would change on that car, and he's like, what you need
to get a serious XM satellite subscription. But other than that, it's it's
perfect. Above one hundred miles,the radio just goes away, And to
me, it's almost perfect because theonly noise I wanted to hear at that
point was the engine, the tires, the revs, those turbos working,

(10:43):
the whistle from the front, splitter, fucking s duct. Yeah it again.
I could sit here, I coulduse the whole hour and try to
sit here and explain to you guysthat car. I went home, and
only one car has ever made metired. After driving in that car,
the adrenaline it gives you, thefeeling, the feed and everything. I

(11:03):
was a little tired. And itwasn't I'm tired because I worked for it.
I was tired just the adrenaline ofdriving that fucking car. Yeah,
and knowing I could give this careverything I have, it's gonna take it
and laugh at me like, oh, bitches, that all you got?
Yeah, it is amazing. Yeah, No, I mean I agree,
You've obviously hear me talking about it, and I've kept it, you know,

(11:24):
over a year now and put tenthousand miles on it almost And you
know, I'm glad that you spentthe time with it, because that's where
you really get a feeling for acar and how it drives, you know,
pushing it at higher speeds and howit handles at higher speeds and and
all that kind of stuff. Andto me, what separates that from everything

(11:45):
else, you know, above whatyou've already mentioned is the ease with which
you can drive it is that it'sa lot like some motorcycles versus other ones,
you know, Ducati being a goodexample. I you know, I
did the review on the one likethat. That's a harder bike to ride
for somebody that hasn't grown up ridingand you know, spent you know,

(12:07):
four hundred thousand miles riding motorcycles fromthe time I was five. Um,
it's it's a more emotionally exhausting,but not in an adrenaline way, in
a like it keeps you on yourtoes and you have to really fucking pay
attention. So there's elements of theride that you don't enjoy that way now
it's more rewarding. Similarly, likethe McLaren is kind of that way,

(12:28):
is that it's so much fucking carand it's so hard to get grip on
it, and it's it's more complicatedin terms of the dynamic settings, the
um what's the word I'm looking for, fucking traction control, you know,
where you need to have that tobe able to enjoy it, but to
not be too intrusive and you know, kind of conditions that we were talking

(12:48):
about and figuring that out. There'sjust more to it. You know,
it feels more like a chore todrive it because you've got to do all
these different fucking things and and it'sjust you know, it's more multitasking kind
of when you're driving, whereas thepiece that it's like the first time I
drove it, it was just like, dude, I feel at home in
this, Like I like I'm abetter driver than I am, and it's

(13:11):
so forgiving and so compliant and justdoes what you want it to every time
you want it, whether you know, from from a steering and handling standpoint,
from a responsiveness of the engine standpoint, like it's just, you know,
it's the best way, and Idescribed it. I think this almost
immediately when I got it. It'slike everything that you want is fingertip accessible

(13:33):
all the time, Like, nomatter what you want to do with it,
it's it's right fucking now, andit just does it. And so
few cars are that way. Couplethat with you know, it looks very
classy and elegant. It sounds amazing. You know, while it's not the
fastest car, it's faster than mostand for a stock car, it's it's
blistering fucking fast. And even havingbeen in cars that were performance metric wise

(13:56):
faster, they didn't feel that muchfaster and they never have made it feel
slow like. It still feels fasteven though the seven six five is a
fair bit faster in certain power bands. It you know, I drove the
piece to today. Uh you know, it does not make it feel like,
oh this is you know, thisisn't as fast or fun like.
It's still every uh it still isevery bit as much as it ever was.

(14:20):
But anyway, if we if thepiece was to go get sold today,
you guys just know the piece toone it's last race against the seven
sixty. Sure it did well.Yeah, yeah, but there's no excuses
in racing. Yeah no, Imean I wasn't gonna make an excuse.
It's gonna say. What I wasgonna say is, uh, the neat
thing is anybody can go to fuckingLas Vegas, to Speed Vegas and you

(14:45):
can rent a piece to and driveit on that track. So um,
you know, while yes, it'sgonna cautious some money, I think it's
where they every fucking beinging whatever itis. Yeah, I think I think
it's the rent on that. Ithink it is six hundred dollars, you
know, for I don't know ifit's three laps or five laps or whatever
the fuck it is. But agreed, it's fucking worth it, um in
my opinion. But normally when Idrive someone else's car, I don't.

(15:07):
I try not to adjust things.I'd try to leave the mirrors where they
are. The seat ILL adjust andwith that one I had to adjust it,
but everything else. As we gotgoing and we passed where we normally
meet up, it's like the carslike, bitch, get right. So
I start adjusting the mirrors and everythingand and it just it's like it starts

(15:28):
sucking into you that Hey bitch,we're fixing to have some fun, yea,
so get ready. Yeah, there'sa crazy connection to the car.
That's again, you can't really explainit, and I've not had that feeling
in any other car. The sevensix five included. You know, it's
a it's an amazing car, andI'll do a review on it shortly.
If I've put about five six hundredmiles on it so far, I think

(15:54):
yeah, yeah, six six orseven hundred miles, I think so we
needed to do it good true endcar review of the Pista. Yeah,
we'll do both. Yeah, it'ssince you haven't heard about it enough already.
I hope from an in car perspectiveit gives the feel that we're talking
about and I don't think it will, but I think it's really close.

(16:18):
Like I said, I had tothank him over and over and again,
thank you that fucking thing. Yeah, it's a I've drove one other car
in my life and I told himthis, and it was the Performante,
the stock Performante that was just asgood the supercharged VF Performante. Mine having
different suspension is fucking great. Andwhat's similar both cars they're not the fastest

(16:44):
cars we've either of us have everdriven, but they don't feel like it.
They feel perfect. Yeah, they'rejust balanced, you know. It's
the best way to what is itGoldilocks in the Three Bears, where you
got the hot, the cold,and then the just right borge I mean,
if you could. I mean,that's that's what all of us have
heard. You got. So inthis, in this realm of cars we've

(17:07):
owned, you have this class that'sjust very fast, which would be the
McLarens, the seven twenties, theseven sixty five, the twin turbot R
eight, and I would say that'sin the too hot category. Then you
got the stuff over here that we'rereally good cars still, you got the
nine to elevens, the things likethat. They're really good. Still,

(17:30):
they're just there's something about them that'sjust not there, so it puts them
in this cold category. And thenyou have these two cars and it's it's
amazing. And again I'll say it, I wouldn't want to own it,
but I still want to review anddrive an SVJ. Yeah, but to
know the difference, I'd almost haveto drive another one another inventa door to

(17:52):
know if that difference is there,you know what I mean. While it's
not my choice in car, sound, performed and everything else, I think
it. I'd love to see ifit has that jump like the four eighty
eight versus the piece of the regularHurricane versus the performante. I'd love to
see if it gets in that smallwindow category. Yeah. So if any

(18:12):
of you Lamborghini guys that I haven'tpissed off yet, want to let review
your cars or hell, take usfor a ride and let us see.
And no, I'm not talking aboutthe Hurricans. Calm down, We've owned
the Hurricane. It had to bethe eventualards. Hey, Billy, shut
up over there. Yeah, Timmy, what the fuck fucking over there giggling

(18:37):
and shit like a little fucking girlsspeaking of Goldilocks. The fuck James,
what's going on with you today?Yeah? So let's get into this fucking
a dude slapping another dude. Yeah, so we're we're gonna be a couple
of days behind. I know everybody'squick to they all went to social media
and stuff as fast as they could. But I've kind of analyzed that a

(19:00):
little bit more. I want toget to that on the back side of
this. But so we got ChrisRock, arguably one of the funniest comedians
of our time, to sit upthere and I mean just talk shit about
everybody and I love it, andnotoriously one of the most edgy, So
you wouldn't be surprised that he wouldsay some shit that's controversial. Yeah,

(19:22):
but the on the edge there,So he makes a joke. The funny
part is if you watch it,everybody's probably seen it. He makes a
joke about g I Jane two andall that stuff, and then he gets
the the shit slapped out of himby Will Smith. But the funny part
is, have you watched this abunch? Not a bunch? I've sent

(19:42):
it. I mean I've watched ita few times. I jerked off to
it earlier. Yeah, Blood Jana, I love you g I Jane two.
Can't wait to see it. Allright? That was like, that
was a nice flood. Okay,I'm out here, Oh Richard, Oh

(20:08):
wow wow? Will Smith just smackedthe shit out of men's name out your
fucking mo Wow, dude, Yeah, it was a GI Jangel, my
bike's name out of your fucking I'mgoing to Okay. The crazy part is

(20:37):
Will Smith's laughing. He's laughing likea motherfucker. Tell this. Do you
see her make that face? Yeah? I think he looked over to his
wife AND's like, oh shit,Oh yeah, that shit was funny,
bro. But I wish they woulddo like a slow mo cut of the
actual strike because that'll tell you howreal it is or not. Yeah.

(21:02):
So I still haven't seen either apicture where it's it's you know, freeze
framed where his hand is actually onhis face, or a slum oversion version,
which I think maybe tells you,you know, whether or not it
was kind of stage or not.I don't know if it was or not.
But the we're gonna get into thaton the backside because I have seen

(21:22):
some some different stuff on that.The funny part is Jada Pinkett Smith has
publicly came out and said she fuckedaround on her husband, took the dude
she was sucking around on her husbandwith too other award shows and shit like
that. But it's a g IJane thing that gets his dude's lap,
Like, dude, you need togo handle your business other places. And

(21:48):
one of the funniest memes I sawwas Jada with the boyfriend and the boyfriend
putting thanks Will for not letting anybodytalk shoot about my girlfriend like that.
It's fucked up. It's like,yeah, that's fucked up. But apparently
I don't know if it says itin this During the filming of Gi Jane
the original to me, Moore wascheating on her husband at the time too,

(22:11):
So it's like it's a double edgedsword of what happened in that comment.
And yeah, and then another thing, Chris rock in twenty sixteen made
fun of the Smiths for missing theoscars because the oscars at that point were
too white, so they didn't showup. So that goes into that.
But as the day went on today, so we're filming this on Monday,

(22:36):
you guys will see it on Wednesday. People did slow it down and Chris
rock hand stays behind his back andhe leans forward to a point to where
if I know some shit's coming,I'm gonna do the same thing. I'm
gonna lean forward and take it,you know what I mean, kind of
open up. But if I don'tknow it's coming, your reaction is gonna

(22:56):
be to throw your hands up orat least lean back. Yeah, I
would think, but none of thathappened. Yeah, none of that happened.
And when you look when the slowdown, when he's walking off the stage,
Will Smith, He's got a bigsmile on his face and then it's
like man stage or not. Imean, the Oscar sucks. H Yeah,

(23:18):
I mean, I you know,well, I'm not going to interrupt.
You keep going. Well, theykind of needed this for ratings,
They needed something, Yeah, Imean, they sure weren't getting it done
on their own, you know.To me, all of the other kind
of extenuating circumstances aside, you know, her fucking around on him, you
know, to me, that's kindof irrelevant. You know, I look
at it almost like judicially that way, and that you know. I mean

(23:41):
I've talked about this with the GeorgeFloyd stuff or fucking anything. Is that,
you know, What's what's at hand, principle wise, is what happened
there in the moment, you know. And for me, the only real
problem I have with any of it, you know, and this is whether
it stays or not or whatever,it doesn't really matter to me because even
if it's staged, like they're notsaying it was, so if they're representing

(24:06):
it as being real, then itneeds to be dealt with as though it
was real. And uh yeah,I mean like it's hard, it's hard
to tell, trying to slow itdown. But um but here, you
know, here's my overall take onit is that you know what what pisses
me off about any and of itis just the inconsistency. Yeah, you
know societally. As an example isthat when we live in a world where

(24:30):
you hear phrases like words are violence, right, silence is violence. You
know, in Canada, people aregetting arrested for not not calling people by
their their preferred pronouns like so.So to to have a society that that
you know, condones that and says, yeah, you know, that's that's

(24:51):
fine, or will we'll let thathappen where statements like silence is violence and
just saying something is enough to bearrested for assault. Then when somebody walks
up and actually open hand slaps thefuck out of somebody on TV, you
know, live real time in frontof everybody, and you know he wasn't
kicked out, you know, hewasn't arrested, no charges have been filed,

(25:15):
like and this is something where whetherhe charges or files charges or not
like that. The fact is asassault still took place, like everybody saw
it, and the police have donenothing about it. Now, I want
to preface this with I'm fine withthat, actually, Like I don't mind
living in a world in fact thatif I had to pick one over the
other, I would absolutely prefer aworld where if you if you run your

(25:38):
fucking mouth, that real chance existsthat you're going to get the fuck slapped
out of you for going over acertain line. I'm totally okay with that.
But if that's okay, then it'sall okay. Not you can get
arrested for not calling somebody ma'am whenthey're a fucking dude, but you can

(25:59):
slap the fuck out of somebody andthat's fine. Like that's bullshit, you
know. So it just I wishsociety would make their fucking mind up and
uh, you know, and andwould uh just be consistent with shit like
it's either okay or it's not okay. I would rather it be okay because
I think there'd be a lot lessshit talking and trolling and you know,
in this you know, fiddle fuckfighting over microaggressions and all the dumb bullshit

(26:26):
that takes place, but don't beokay with this and then have a problem
with all of the rest of theof the semantic bullshit that takes place day
in, day out, and anduh, you know, call things microaggressions
and violence and what what have you. Yeah, No, I totally agree.
And there there's been a lot offunny memes, and I mean,

(26:48):
you can't fucking yeah, you can't. You can't pull your head out from
under a rock and not see somecompany with a meme of that fucking slap
and then throwing fucking taglines onto it. But you saw the U gr one.
I haven't. Yeah, I've beenbusy as fuck that I haven't been
online hardly at all. You gottalearn to fuck off, I know soon.
But yeah, I agree with you. I think there there should be

(27:11):
that that window to where if someonesays some shit, you should be able
to deal with them, not goshoot them, not stab them. But
the chance of you getting punching thefucking mouth for running your mouth or there.
Yeah, and yeah, just ifif that's going to be the case,
then then everything's all right. Yeah. But and I totally agree.

(27:33):
Yeah, someone someone talks shit,that's the thing nowadays, you you gotta
watch what you say or or yougotta watch what you do. If someone
says something because you're asking go tojail for some stupid shit that did.
When we were kids, you couldjust deal with it. Yeah, I
mean, so take take as anexample, like in the same city right
over the last two years, peoplehave been handcuffed and fucking arrested for not

(27:57):
wearing a mask. But you canslap the fuck out of somebody and hey,
no problem. Like to me,that's fucking absurd to be To be
fair, he is a legend.He's in a movie that says he's he
is a legend. He even sayshe is a legend. Yeah, but
you know, yeah, I meanit's just like, well, so you
know, imagine Chris Rock is onstage doing a bit right, and sometimes

(28:21):
there's hecklers, you know, orthey just pick people out of the crowd
and make fun like that. Dude'sugly as fucking Like, imagine he makes
fun of somebody in the crowd,just a normal citizen, and he gets
up, goes up on stage andslaps the fuck out him. There's no
think for one hundred percent that motherfuckeris in handcuffs and in jail, you
know. So, Yeah, Imean, like Hollywood is. I mean,

(28:41):
it's not like it's a surprise thatthey're hypocritic and you know, a
bunch of two faced, fucking assholesthat are pretentious, and you know,
even the amount of time we've spenttalking about him as more than they deserve.
But you know, it shouldn't comeas a surprise to anybody that there's
a bunch of hypocrisy brewing out ofout of the oscars as usual. Yeah,

(29:04):
let's get into some more craziness.What you got your boy Joe,
old Joe giving his speech? Didyou hear about this? Yeah? That
guy fucking Christ, he can't keepit. He can't stop from stepping on
his own dick. I've said itbefore, and some people get upset about

(29:27):
it, and some people, whatdo you like that the Democrats do?
Blah blah blah. You took whatI said out of out of context when
I said there are some things Ithink we need a new party to where
there's the best of both. Ithink we had a president before that tweeted
too much. I mean, mostpeople would agree with that, and he'd

(29:48):
probably be the president now if hewould have shut the fuck up, and
then we got this fucking idiot Putincannot remain in power. You just can't
say that when we're sitting here tryingto keep our fucking noses out of it
and shit like that, and we'retelling everybody we don't care what happens.

(30:08):
Let Putin do his thing, runyour country, just get the fuck out,
and then you get this dip shitPutin cannot remain in power. Yeah,
I mean, you know to meagain, I said this on the
last micro drop I did, isthat, you know, kind of similarly,
like just fucking pick something like you'reeither trying to, you know,

(30:29):
save Ukraine from Russia or you're not. You know, like, if you
are, then do that and gogo full tilt. If you're not,
then stay the fuck out of itand wash your hands of it, the
same way we do with ninety percentof the other things that go on on
this planet, and we don't doa fucking thing about it and don't even
cover in the media. You know, there's half a dozen countries in Sub

(30:51):
Saharan Africa that the same type ofshit has taken place that isn't even on
the news. Nope, nobody fuckingmentions or you know, there's not reporters
there showing videos of what's taking place, and it's no less um, you
know, traumatic, traumatic, orfucking terrible. You know, we're just
not talking about it. You know, there's a lot of shit going on

(31:11):
all over the world right now.You know that that's akin to what's taking
place that we don't talk about ordo anything about. Frankly, so um
but agreed, Like, you can'tsay shit like that and expect, you
know, there to be no blowbackor consequences. And I think that the
disconnect that exists between the rest ofthe administration and this dipshit when he gets

(31:36):
in front of a microphone, Imean that the bitch of it is is
that the vice president isn't any better. I mean, she's every bit as
fucking terrible as he is, justin a different way. But she steps
on her tits regularly. And youknow, so that the two of them
mean, it's fucking dumb and dumber, like I mean, I mean,
I feel like it's a Saturday nightlives get watching the two of them talk.
I mean, it's fucking terrible,you know, but uh yeah,

(31:59):
I mean like it just the guy'sgot his head buried in his ass,
and you know, and I feellike every time he gets up and talks,
the rest of his fucking administration istap dancing around and walking things back
and trying to, you know,appease the people that he insulted or contradicted

(32:20):
or whatever. And it's just goddamnit makes us look like idiots. Yeah,
and again I said it before.I thought the country was doing great
under the last administration. The problemwas he just didn't shut the fuck up
in Twitter and shit like that.And I get it, free speech,
all that good stuff, get it. But you're the leader of the free

(32:44):
world. Sometimes you just gotta biteyour tongue a little bit. I think
most times, you know, withouta doubt, especially in positions like that,
less is way fucking more. Youknow, the less you talk and
the more stoic and emotionally fucking balancedand stable you are, the more effective
you are, plain and simple,you know. And if you if you

(33:06):
reflect and show that you're unflappable andthat no matter what happens, nothing can
piss you off, that's a hardmotherfucker to deal with, you know.
I Mean, that's something that I'llopenly admit I'm guilty of in some aspects
of my personal life, in someinstances where my emotions get the better of
me and I don't stay as calmas I would like, you know,

(33:30):
But for for the president of theUnited States, Like, if there is
one fucking thing that that dude needsto be able to do, and I
will give credit where it's due,Obama was a fucking master at that.
Like, the dude was never ruffledever, you know, And that's important,
I mean, plain and simple.It is like when you're on the
world stage, you got to yougotta be able to have a serious fucking

(33:52):
poker hand and never let anybody knowwhat the fuck you're thinking or what you're
about to do, or that whatthey're doing is getting under your s in
or whatever. And yes, youknow, Biden is not great at that.
Trump was fucking terrible at it.I mean, he wore his fucking
his emotions on his fucking sleeve worsethan probably anybody I've seen in my lifetime

(34:12):
in a position like that, anduh, and it bit him in the
ass enormously. So you know,it's just not smart. Yeah, you
know what's gonna come with this they'reDemocrats. Are you? They're fucking democrats?
Mike and Matt, they're democrats.Shut the fuck up. I don't
know. I mean to me,I don't know what's democratically fucking yeah,

(34:37):
uh benefit or not beneficial, Butyou know what's complimentary from a Democrat.
I mean, I'm not a Democrat, you know. I wouldn't say I'm
a staunch Republican. But if ifI had to pick one party over the
other in terms of what what Ilean more towards, it's it's more towards
Republican. But there are a lotof social issues that I lean more Democratic

(34:58):
on. But you know already waslibertarian is overwhelmingly more or what what I
would say, I identify with,you know, far more than anything else.
But yeah, no, I agree, and I've open my eyes more
to that, especially the older Iget and wanting to read. I remember
growing up and saying, my parentswatching the news, yeah, and it's

(35:19):
always the political shit, and I'mlike, why the fuck are you?
Man? There's wheel of Fortune onthere's all kinds of other ships that motherfucking
say, Jack Alex Trebek, lookat van of White's asked real quick when
she's flipping those letters. But thenyou got As I get older, I
fucking understand it, you know.And one thing, raising my daughter,
I was not one of them peoplewho pushed my beliefs on her because I

(35:43):
wanted her to be able to growup and do whatever she wanted. Does
that mean I totally disagree with thingsshe does now? But there's gonna be
shit she does that I disagree with, but she's gonna either learn from it
or grow from it. And I'mjust here to support her. Yeah,
because that's part of raising an adult, you know. Um, yeah,
I agree, you know with mine. I always like to, you know,

(36:07):
whatever their position is on something,I like to have them explain why.
Yeah. Yeah, just just tellme why you feel that way.
And it needs to be more indepth than well because so and so said
this, or because he's an asshole. I mean, whatever it is is
that, you know, tell me, tell me why you feel that way.
Yeah, and uh. And therehave been times where we've just agreed

(36:28):
to disagree on certain things and I'mnot trying to change their mind. And
I think it's important to be thatway because you're You're right, I think
you got to let them grow upand be their own people and facilitate that.
Don't don't try to hinder it orshape it, facilitate it. I
say this to a lot of peoplewhen it comes to political views, and
I've said it multiple times on here. At the end of the day,

(36:50):
we vote so many times out ofour lifetime, but we have to live
neighbor to neighbor the rest of thattime. Yeah. So just because I
don't agree with your yard sign,don't mean I'm just gonna fuck that person.
Now, if you come out andsay something really just off the wall,
fucked up ship that, there's noway in hell I'm gonna ever agree
with you. Yeah, you knowthat's different. For the most part,

(37:14):
we gotta as people, remember theseare our neighbors. Whether we lack some
of the yard signs some of theship they do, we still got to
live with them. I don't getthe yard sign. I think we may
have talked about this when we firstgot started during the election time, when
we were going is that. Imean, to me, yard signs make
no sense. Number one, They'rejust a huge waste, right Yeah.

(37:36):
But more importantly is that when wasthe last time you ever saw one?
And you're like, you know,what now that I see that sign in
that house, that's the motherfucker Ineed to vote for Never that's never had
that impact now, you know,the only thing it does is divide people.
Frankly, it's like, oh thatprick like so and so or oh
about to use a fucking good dude. But I mean, like, it's

(37:57):
not swaying your opinion. Well,a couple of times I've pulled up and
seen a Republican sign any heart tomy motherfucker, I mean swaying your opinion
of the candidate. Yeah, Iknow, you know, like I mean,
it's it's not you know, likeall it does is divide neighborhoods,
you know, And I mean it'sjust fucking it's counterproductive and stupid. But
the way our political system is designedis that the reason we have yard signs.

(38:22):
Now, I have no doubt thatthat's a big component of it.
I mean, to me, ifyou want some election reform, fucking banyard
signs, you ban everything else makingbanyard signs. Yeah, Plus it looks
tacking your fucking yarm, especially theones who get really excited and put like
sixteen yard sign but their yards onlylike a ten foot by twenty foot fucking
section, and then you got peoplefucking with them because they you know,

(38:45):
they hate somebody so bad that they'reripping signs out or fucking burning them or
pissing on them or I mean,it's just it's just fucking stupid. Yeah.
We had neighbors who the one personput out a yard signs for this
one, and they started facing themtowards each other, like what the fuck
they're about to dull like a pissingconteas just stupid, fucking grow up.
You're teaching your kids that ship.Yeah, that's what you're doing right now,

(39:07):
teaching your kids how to be fuckingfucked up. Yeah. Uh,
let me see, because I toldy'all we're gonna get into some questions too,
So let me check where we're at. Probably didn't start the timer still
at thirty nine hours or three hundredthirty nine hour, Let's skip the Uh.

(39:28):
I was gonna get into the budgetshit, but that's twenty twenty three.
We got plenty of time to getinto twenty twenty three budget. Let's
get into some fun shits, somequestions that's right from our badass audience.
H Yeah, and one of thethere's a few people on there that post

(39:50):
what do we have to do becomepatreons for y'all to respond to our questions.
For one, if your questions areonly statements, I'm not gonna respond
to a statement that's just there.You major statement, Okay, cool,
I don't have to agree or disagreelike it or heard it. It's okay,
that's your statement. One of themwas, what's my gast? What's

(40:10):
colder than freezing with thirty one degrees? Bitch? It's a fucking saying.
Shut up? Looking people are You'lllisten to an hour long show and find
that one fucking thing. Oh gothim? Yeah, a truck fucked him?
Got him? Uh? Because thisis this is our homye right here.
We're not gonna say the name,but she's gonna know. This question

(40:35):
came through. Uh, Matt,how did you learn to fix and customize
cars? Seems kind of scary totear apart an expensive vehicle, but you
sound like it's fun for you.How did that come about? Any funny
stories related to that you can share? Oh? Man, some of the
stories I got. We're messing withcars? Uh? The producer, Sure

(41:00):
we have. Now, that's howI met him to mess one cars,
Hell, Mike, That's how wemet, messing on cars and the love
of cars. But how did Iget into cars? Tearing them apart?
As a kid, I would takeapart things, my dad's things, my
brother's things. I'd take them apart. And there were some things I'd put
back together and leave parts out onpurpose, just so they wouldn't fucking work.

(41:22):
And you're welcome, my stepbrother.There were some parts i'd go hide
my dad's toolbox so he'd know thatI knew where the part was. But
I knew that ship was never gonnawork again without this part. And my
dad thought that ship was funny,but he got into tearing some of our
cars. I'd take them apart,and I'm not scared. And I think

(41:44):
that's what makes it to where Idon't mess them up, is because I'm
not scared. If you go intosomething scared with anything in life, sometimes
if you go in scared, you'regonna fuck it up. Now, if
you're going unscared, you may stillmess it up, but nowhere near as
bad as trying to do everything withkid gloves. It's just something I love
doing with our bikes, mainly mybikes. I take them apart, put

(42:06):
them back together. Held the firstday I had to have a boose.
I think I had that bitch prettymuch down, plastics off, ready to
go with for the exhaust. It'sjust fun. How did I get into
it? That's how I got intoit, taking apart radios and lawnmowers,
stuff like that. Funny stories,mainly just meeting people of met my wife

(42:30):
that way. Taking your brother anddad should a pardon. Putting it together
half ass is kind of funny.But yeah, I don't really want to
get into the how I met mywife. That's a funny story, but
it has to do with cars.Hell, Hi, I tore up my
old bows and that's one with acar. I erect a motorcycle. That

(42:51):
was me, fucking shit? Yeah? Should I should have just left stock
so I wouldn't have been out streetracing doing stupid shit. Uh. I
just enjoy it, honestly. WhenI go in the garage, it's a
different thing for me. And I'vetold Mike this. Anybody who knows I
don't want to be really left alonewhen I'm in the garage. I love
sitting there bullshitting while I'm taking thingsapart that actually helps me not fuck up

(43:13):
as much because I'm focused on thisshit, not thinking about sucking up because
I'm talking too. I just enjoyit. It takes my mind off all
the bullshit stress I have because atthat time it's like golf for me.
The only thing I gotta worry aboutthat fucking car. It's just it's weird.
It's stress relieving to take a threeto five hundred thousand dollars car and

(43:35):
take shit apart, Yeah, andjust be like, hope it goes back
together. Yeah, not for me, which is why I don't do it.
Yeah, but there are times whereI put some extra screws in my
pocket and don't tell anybody on thenext question is all about you, Mike.
All right, Mike. Will adog bite if it's wagging its tail?
For example, I'm out locking inmy neighborhood and I'm approached by a

(43:57):
dog not tied from its backyard.If he's wagging his tail and seems friendly,
am I okay? I've never beenbitten by a dog and would like
to keep it that way. Whatcould I look for in his body language
to let me know if it's timeto keep away? Will a dog bite
if his tail is wagging yes,or it can. The question isn't what's

(44:20):
making me on um? So thereare times where even when a dog is
wagging its tail that it will absolutelystill bite you. The thing with body
language is context also plays a bigrole. And by that I mean like
in this example, if if thedog is loose, not behind a barrier

(44:40):
of some sort, and comes allthe way up to you and is wagging
its tail, you probably are okay, I will caveat that with I still
wouldn't interact with it. And inyour last question of what could I look
for in his body language to letme know if it's time to keep away?
If it's if it's not your dogand the owner's not present, or
frankly, even if the owner ispresent, in most cases, it's still

(45:04):
time to keep away. I don'tever interact with dogs that aren't mine that
I don't need to interact with.And I do that for a very specific
reason is that bad things aren't goingto happen if I don't do that.
I see a very common problem witha lot of people. It's like they
have a dog where they love dogs, and so they see a dog and

(45:25):
it's like, well, I wantto pet them, and I want to
interact with them, and I wantto be buddy buddy with them and whatever,
and there's no reason to do that. When most people get bit,
it's because the dog gave off avery subtle element of body language that it
was uncomfortable, and you kept pushingit and then it ends up fucking biting
you. That won't happen if youdon't fuck with strange dogs that aren't yours.

(45:49):
It's very very rare for a dogto offensively go and bite somebody that's
completely fucking ignoring them. It doesit or can it happen? Yes,
but it's very rare. And evenin that case, I would turn around
and very stoically and calmly kind ofbow up to the dog, not go
try to pick a fight with them, but just exude like dude, I
don't fucking sweat you one bit,and stare them down, and just stand

(46:13):
there and hold your ground and notrun from him, don't charge them,
don't try to pick a fight,just be like dude, I'm not fucking
scared of you, and then justignore them, fucking leave them alone and
casually leave. That's your best betfor you know, a dog that comes
up to you loose. If it'sa dog that otherwise seems relatively friendly,
just completely fucking ignore them. That'syour best bet. Um. You know,

(46:35):
so so often people make the mistakeof It's like, well, I
love dogs, and you know,I'm good with them, so I should
be able to pet this dog.And it's like, you know, I
like ass and titties. I don'twalk around just grabbing them, you know,
when they're not mine, you know, And I think it's the same
thing with a dog is just stopfucking with them. That's my take.
Yeah, the bonus question, what'sthe best kind of cake? Obviously it's

(46:58):
chocolate, but if either you wantsto be wrong, that's okay. I
like how you worded that. Forme, it's probably red velvet with a
really fucking thick cream cheese frosting.It's probably my favorite. You know what's
fucked up? I argue with mydaughter that red velvet is chocolate cake.
It is a food color, andthat's some bullshit. I mean, so
I guess we're on the same page. I like red colored chocolate cake.

(47:22):
Yeah, that's some fucking bullshit,I argued with her. That's one of
the things we actually argued about that. Yeah, it's worth arguing about.
It's fucking cake. Hey, I'mright, that's worth arguing about. Mine's
German chocolate cake or a carrot cake. Uh, I just like nuts in
my mouth. Yeah, what areyou doing later? Yeah exactly, producer

(47:45):
Billy Joe Bob. I love it. I like that. Shit. Um,
what popular businesses advice do you disagreewith? Why? And what is
better advice? M To me,it's it's hard to pick popular business advice

(48:07):
because god damn it, it seemslike there's so much of it out there,
and a lot of it contradicts itself. If I had to pick one
or I guess the first thing thatcomes to mind is is not like it
is to just fucking go with it, you know, is to like pick
something and just have at it.And while I will say grit and determination

(48:29):
and drive and not giving up iscrucial, you also have to know when
to pivot. You know. Pivotingis not giving up. It's it's exactly
that it's pivoting. And I thinkfor me that's the biggest thing is that
I think a lot of times peoplehere, oh man, you gotta fucking
grind it out. And like theypick something that's a bad idea that has
a shitty low customer base and terriblemargins and not a high demand and it's

(48:53):
not that great of an idea orwhatever, but for whatever you know,
they are passionate about it, andthey just run themselves into the fucking ground
on that and never you know,realize, Okay, hey, this isn't
working. You know, I needto I need to make some changes.
So my advice would be look atthe market cap in terms of customer base,

(49:15):
the demand for it, and whetheror not your product is a solution
to a problem that exists like thatfrom an idea standpoint, to me,
all of those things need to bepresent. Is that you you, there's
got to be a potential for agood number of customers, um that the
product margin wise, there needs tobe you know, an ability to actually

(49:35):
be profitable. And then lastly,and probably most importantly, is that you've
got to provide a solution to aproblem. You know, it can't just
be like, well, this isa good idea, Let me fucking try
to make a product out of this, Like, there has to be something
that that people struggle with that you'resaying this is this is what's going to
fix that, um, you know. And then ultimately like knowing when to

(49:58):
and being willing to to make somechanges in pivot, even if it's within
in the same industry, just knowwhen to keep moving. I'm gonna just
have to agree with that. That'sreally good advice. I Mean, the
only thing I know is a lotof people say you never know if you're
gonna be successful to you try it, well, a lot of people try

(50:20):
it too soon without kind of tyinginto what you said. A lot of
people try it without any research.Yeah, you know, or you just
piggybacking off something that's already so successfulthat it's going to be hard to move
and direct into making your own money. Yeah. And I almost laughed when
you said pivot that many times,reminding me of friends when they're like,
pivot, pivot, I've ever seenthat. I haven't seen that they're moving

(50:43):
a couch. All these people know. What is the best leadership or life
advice you have received? For me? It's one word accountability. Yeah,
and I will just say it's thatfucking simple. It's just own up to
your ship. Yeah, that's agood one. And then the last one

(51:07):
has thoughts on this McLaren as astarter car, and it's like a kid
in a Yeah, we can postthat little toy when I say, go
for it, start them, startthem young, because I didn't give a
shit about cars growing up. Andnow look at me. Yeah, look
at you now, probably go downto the bottom. Or are you just
picking the ones that you picked out? I kind of picked out some of

(51:28):
these because I thought they were reallyall star? Is that true, Chris?
Are you picking any of these out? He picked out? I picked
out half of them, half ofthem and there's only three. I don't
know. I'm always concerned I shouldhave read that first. I'm always concerned
about having to deal with out ofstate speeding tickets. Curious if you guys

(51:49):
have Curious if you guys drive anydifferent when you take your cars out of
state? Quick answer, No,I just drive my ship. I drive
the same. All the time I'vehad out of state tickets, I just
call them pam, you know whatI mean. But I drive the same.
I'm trying to think of a timewhere I've driven my you know,

(52:14):
any of my fast vehicles that I'veowned outside of state, and I don't
think I have so I'm normally driving, like if I'm driving out of state,
I'm usually in my truck, whichI'm not driving very aggressively or quick
or what have you. I'm drivingpretty pretty conservative and normal. So in
that way, I do. Iguess when I drove the SF ninety,

(52:35):
it was somebody else's and I wasin Florida, and I absolutely drove it
the way I would my own carhere in Texas. So it's a little
bit of both. There's only liketwo or three states that really hammering you
for driving like an asshole. Iknow Arizona is one of them. Yeah,
it's Arizona, like Georgia. Maybeit's Georgia. I'd have to check
with. There's like two or threestates. I don't know. I don't

(52:57):
I don't pay attention, but yeah, for them, I was part I
mean, I just fucking drive andenjoy myself. Yeah. On this other
question, I have no clue.That is anchor clanker, a term of
endearment between Navy personnel reading a bradThorpe book and a former Navy EO D
calls a former seal a fellow anchorclanker. I'm a a level of the
I've actually never heard that fucking term, so I can't answer that. It

(53:22):
sounds like it probably is, butI'm using my context clues like I did
when I was nine, But Idon't know. I've not heard it.
I'm glad you liked Unfuck America.I appreciate it, and thank you for
your support from both of us.I'm speaking for Matt, Yeah, we
appreciate you, all right. Whatthe fuck, Matt? What is your

(53:47):
favorite thing about Mike and what issomething you don't agree on? Huh?
My favorite thing about Mike's he listensto my dumb shit when I'm going one
through troubles, and he's one ofthe only people I can talk to pretty
freely about anything and he don't judgeme. What don't we agree on?

(54:13):
I don't know. I mean,I'll answer the same thing. I guess
very similarly, like just you know, the level of friendship that I have
with him is my favorite thing becausethere's very very few people that are in
that category that I feel like Icould trust with anything, and he's absolutely
in that category to me that there'sno big ticket items that I think that

(54:35):
I can think of that like thatI would disapprove or disagree with. You
know, they're all very nuanced andyou know, like asking a question about
something and you know in the mediaor you know what a president should or
shouldn't do. Like, you know, we may have a differing opinion,
but I wouldn't say that like wedisagree with each other on it really,

(54:55):
but I've never been like, neverleft the studio over your house or my
house, and like, man,fuck that dude, really, because that
mean every time I leave your house. That's how I felt. Yeah,
all right, this one's I guessfor me, when delivering a personal protection
dog to a civilian customer, howmuch time in training has to be done

(55:19):
to familiarize the owner with their newdog. We'll tell you what. Um,
buy one and you'll find out.Now I'm kidding, usually two or
three days, and it's they're reallylong days. Um, you know it's
it's it's a strange transaction. It'svery intimate, and it's unlike really anything
else shy of maybe like if you'reremodeling somebody's bathroom, like you know,

(55:43):
you're in their fucking bedroom. You'rein their house, you know, for
days at a time, and youknow you're seeing the inside of their personal
life and what have you. Andso that's kind of similar that way,
but this way even more so becauseit's it's adding a family member. You
know, when you're remodeling people's bathrooms, like there you not not usually mean,
they're not part of that process,like yeah, you're in their house
and whatever, but they're usually goneor in another room or they've taped off

(56:07):
that part of the house and they'rethe fuck out of there, and you
know, so it's it's it isweird and that you know, you're sitting
there like you're adding a family member, you're interacting with people. In many
cases, I stay with them,so I'm in their house, sleeping there,
seeing them, you know, asthey go to bed, first thing,
when they wake up. You know, like that's weird. Uh,

(56:27):
you know, it's it's very abnormaland not atypical business transaction that you would
have really in any other circumstance um. And so with that, like it's
twenty four seven, you know,it's three days of from the time you
fucking lay down at night, youknow, until or from the second you
wake up in the morning until thetime you go to bed. It's for
me, it's it's working. Youknow, and it's being very conscious of

(56:51):
what's going on and paying attention toeverything. I will say, like doing
it is is mentally really fucking exhausting. You know, when I when I'm
done with a delivery on my wayhome, it's just like I'm fucking really
smoked. But anyway, that's kindof the Just like I said, to
two three days, sometimes maybe evenfour. There are times where it's shorter

(57:13):
than that, but it's very rare, you know. Mostly it's it's two
or three days. But go toa different question. But I have a
question about that. Yeah, sowhen you're staying with them, Yeah,
do you ever get hungry and goto their kitchen get about cookie? Yea
like that. Yeah, I meanI will say this. If I'm in
your house and you say, hey, make yourself at home, I absolutely

(57:34):
fucking will. You know, um, I will eat food out of your
fridge and I'll make myself fucking whatever. I mean, I made myself a
steak in the middle of the fuckingday when nobody else was eating at this
last place. Yeah, you know, I mean, yeah, if you
if you say, hey, myhouse is your house. I'm not one
of those tiptoe around like I'm notgonna fucking take my socks off and put

(57:54):
them on the fucking kitchen table,m or put my feet on the table.
But I mean, like, ifyou tell me, you know,
help yourself, I'm gonna help myself. Yeah. I've been doing it too
long to not Yeah, not dothat. What's the worst. I gotta
do a little bit out of it. Oh, have you guys ever seen

(58:15):
or heard of Singer Porsche and whatdo you think of them? I have
not heard of it. I gotto look that up. Yeah, what
is that? Hey, h Thomas, what's that Porsche that uh Alan has?
Gunther works? That bitch is badthat Gunther Works Porsche Alan has.

(58:40):
But that's not a Singer Porsche.I don't know what that is. So
the car comes with a price tagof one point eight million, and we
think it's worth every penny. UhPorsch nine eleven DLS by a Singer is
probably the most beautiful thing. Blahblah blah. It looks like an old
nine ninth, looks like the Guntherworks. Almost Yeah for me, it's

(59:04):
not my style. Based on aneighty nine Ports nine six four. It's
part of a seventy five unit limitedproduction run. I don't like older cars,
you know, I just don't like. I appreciate, especially when you
see an old American classic, asixties muscle car, late sixties or early
seventies, Like I appreciate those.I think they're fucking cool. I don't

(59:29):
want one. I don't want towork on one, I don't want to
build one. And yeah, Ijust don't really have any desire to fuck
with it because I just like theThe engineering that is current technology wise and
what that comes with in terms ofbeing able to exploit that on the road
is what I'm interested in, andthat's what I like and appreciate it.

(59:49):
But I think it's cool, butI would never fuck with it. Yeah,
the gun through words Alans is oneof those cars. I appreciate everything
that went into it. It's notmy because of the age, but I
love everything about it, Like Ilove looking at those and appreciate the craftsmanship,
the work that went into it.Yeah, yeah, I'll gawk and
appreciate one at a car show,but but I would not buy one.

(01:00:13):
Alan has a damn signature about him. Everything it's white and red. Yeah
everything. Uh, this is gonnabe the last question. Uh, what
does the gas price in your arealook like and does it? Does the
skyrocketing gas price dictate how you driveyour cars? Well, say, as
how we're a little late on thisquestion. I'm not too bad. Gas

(01:00:37):
price right now are about three eightynine for regular I think it's four twenty
nine for premium. Shit, atleast I don't know it was like sixty
bucks. You feel half a tankin the piece to the other day.
Yeah, uh, and no,it don't dictate the way I drive the
cars. While y'all hear about metalk about my daily I do want more
fuel efficient out of my daily that'smy daily that I use for work and

(01:01:02):
everything else. So when I'm thinkingabout work, it actually has to make
sense for me to make money andthings like that. So yeah, I
care a little bit about savings onmy daily cars, even though I did
have a TRX and a GT fivehundred, but those are kind of testing
the water. But my weekend funcars, the motorcycles things like that,

(01:01:23):
I don't get into them and thinkabout the fuel one hundred percent. I
just think while it does piss meoff if I go on a run and
it's one hundred and thirty miles andI use a tank of caste. That
does aggravate me. But it's notthe cost of the fuel. It's the
damn it. I was just atthe gas station, Yeah, because I
hate going to the gas station.Not the cost. We go into these

(01:01:45):
cars, or at least I dogo into these cars knowing they're not cheap
to drive around. Nothing about themis cheap. They're fun, and that's
the price we pay, or Ipay for fun. I don't know about
you on that. Yeah, same, it does not, because, yeah,
I drive them to enjoy them.And you know, even though I've
put as many miles as I haveon the ones that I've had, yet

(01:02:08):
it's not. It's not keeping mefrom driving it. I will tell you
that, you know, I don'tdrive it any less or drive it any
different. What would be your solutionto the increasing gas prices nationwide? For
me, that's real simple. It'sjust a bump up production here and it
should stay that way. To me, that's you're seeing unfold in front of

(01:02:29):
our eyes. How big of anational security issue energy is? You know,
whether you want to be green ornot as irrelevant. The fact is
is that right now our nuts arein a vice. Collectively because of the
shitty policies that this administration has putforward. I mean that that is a
fact, you know, And noamount of saying that Putin's fault even that

(01:02:52):
statement to me, like I'm baffled. I mean, if I was a
White House Press Corps journalist, Iwould say, Okay. So if you're
saying that gas prices are Putin's fault, I've also heard you say that gas
prices aren't your doing, right,they're not your fault. You hear this
all the time, Like when gasprices go up and there's not a world

(01:03:15):
war going on or potentially a worldwar going on, you hear you know,
Hey, I don't. I don'thave anything to do it. Like
I'm one man, Like I can'tkeep gas prices from going up or whatever.
So if you, as the presidentcan't, how the fuck can some
other country's president dictate what our gasprices do? That's number one. Number
two, Even if we're giving youthe benefit of the doubt saying that it

(01:03:37):
is his fault, why the fuckare you, as the president, putting
our country in a position to allowsome other country's president dictate what the price
of gas is here in this country? When our entire fucking economy depends on
it is. That is a weak, shitty, fucking position, and to

(01:03:57):
me unforgivable for somebody in our government, especially at that level, to put
us in that position, if that'struly the case, and I would say,
in this case that's actually accurate,is that you've put us in that
position? You know? So Iwould open the Keystone Pipeline, and I
would allow federal drilling everywhere it's possible, and I would invite all of the

(01:04:20):
leading private sector energy experts. Iwould bring them all the White House and
say, let's work together and collectivelyfigure out how we can ramp up oil,
natural gas, wind and solar energyproduction in this country as fast as
possible so that we don't depend onany other country for any type of energy.

(01:04:42):
There's no reason we shouldn't have alreadybeen doing that, but especially in
the last thirty days, that shouldhave been the first fucking thing that he
did. And the fact that they'restill sitting on their hands and saying that
it's not our fault, it's goingto suck deal with it. The fact
if you still vote for incompetent diption, it's like that you get what you
deserve, you know. Um,and that's fucking five dollars a gallon gas

(01:05:04):
or higher. Preach, Yeah,yetta do the same thing. Uh the
best answer you could give, Well, I mean I disagree. I rehearsed
it, so people been waiting forthat, So I disagree. Uh.
I think gas price should be higher, well, should go over two hundred
and fifty a barrel. And uh, I will say that. You know,

(01:05:27):
we're not the only ones that it'snot affecting, because I tell you,
there ain't any less traffic around here. Like they're sure as fuck as
nobody. Nobody not driving out andabout right now. So they're just driving
around looking for cheaper gas. Imean, god damn, that's all they're
doing. Uh. Well, that'sit for this episode. Gas. You
got anything else on this man?I think we've covered everything. Yeah,

(01:05:47):
so we kind of did a littlebit of hybrid stuff, a little Q
and A with some topics. Weappreciate it. Make sure if you want
to ask a question, go toask Uninfluenced at gmail dot com. Tune
in dollar stuff, guys, gogive us a review on iTunes and all
