You're listening to late Nan Radio on the SAH your
media network cushion. There will be mature themes explored and
potentially adult language used. If Conservatorian words, phrases, certain concepts,
or rhetoric offends you, tune out now.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
I have come here to chew the bubble gum and
chick asks and an.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
All a lot of bumpy ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
children of all ages, and all points in between. Welcome
to Bez's Berserve Bob katz Lewin Radio Show, live and
direct from the nof Idaho SHR Media Network studio, happily

(01:41):
ensconced within my home and it's mine and I'm happy
and it's wonderful. I am your conservative Shirpa. I kind
of look like this, guiding you through the mailstrom of demarrat,
leftist and globalist lies, chaos, deceit, and betrayal. Well, please
note that what you're about to hear for the next hour,

(02:04):
maybe two hours, consists of my opinions and my opinion only,
and those of my guests. Tonight, guess what, I have
a great guest, and he's here. This is the first
time that I have ever spoken on the air. Had

(02:25):
him on the air. I can't tell you who he
is just now, but I will say that I am
doing the job that the American media maggots won't. I
am fundamentally changing America, one leftist diaper at a time.
We don't water our drinks, just like we don't wanter
our conversations. We are still serving stiff drinks right here

(02:48):
in the saloon, along with facts, history, logic, rationality, proportion, context, clarity,
tradition and common sense. Politics, religion, crime, culture, economics, rate, sex, science, law,
and cars.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
We talked about it all right here at this lun
where the speech is free but the booze is not.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
There are twenty eight people already watching live. Thanks to everybody.
You can be Aaron Dande, Aaron danteeth. It is not
for me, It's for my guest. I also have a
metric ton of people who are in chattabis erectibus. It's
originally it was Firt Snapple, Welcome to him. Ricky Robinson

(03:31):
is in chat going Dick dig Il come, why four?
How come you're not on lost? Wanderer is here, indicating
of course that not all who wander are lost. Brian
is in here as well, and Mike is in the

(03:53):
chat room. Mission Ready Men is in the chat room. Unleash.
Jeremy Hanson is in the chat room. Lewis is in
the chat room. Who if I miss Dale Benson, haven't
seen you in quite some time. Welcome back to chat.
Kind of rhymes, but kind of not. Phantom is in
chat and lost Wanderer whoa now lost Wanderer says thirty

(04:17):
to go to five hundred. See, this is where I
would customarily pound the crap out of the Hey, get
the get on right here, right now and subscribe. So
let me go ahead and run this right now, because
I thought that maybe I had all the right stuff. Now,
look down below at the chiron k I r h

(04:38):
N chon. That's what it's really spelled. Don't believe anybody else.
It says. If you look below, we have thirty one
subscribers yet to go before we get to five hundred
at the shr Media Network. Now, when I bring my
guest on, which will be very shortly, my guests subscribers
on YouTube kick our mo mortal asses from here to

(05:02):
Zephyron and all points in between. But it's interesting that
in between the now the time that I last checked
and now lost Wanderer has indicated WHOA, we have one
more subscriber, So if you're on the shr media YouTube channel,
then if you would please subscribe pretty please. So this

(05:26):
is about the time. Oh first, I have to apologize upfront.
I had promoted this on my show indicating that I
will have my guest who is on very very shortly. Easy.
You kept saying that You've said that for the past hour.
Now I swear he'll be on very shortly, which is
the only way that I can be on personally is

(05:47):
very shortly, because I'm not very tall he is. I
promoted the show as being okay, get in chat and
if you have a question, you can send the question
to my guest in chat. That is still how it's
going to work, except I also put the phone number
in there, and I said, hey, you can call too,
but no you can't because I have two things plugged

(06:09):
into this mixer and my third was going to be
the phone for him. And sorry, callers, my guest takes
priority over you. I know you know a little violin
right here. I'm sorry to play it, but you can't
call in because I can't get my damn board to work. However,
those who know me and love me and think I'm
way fat, ugly, ancient and stupid. Well, you would be correct,

(06:32):
because that's how things roll here in the Oh. Jersey
Joe is here, Jersey Joe says welcome, and Sean says,
I'm a vibe killer.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
And good.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Those are those are the people that we have right now.
So with further ado, because I why would I do
anything except with a further ado, I'd like to welcome
my guest tonight. Who is Bill from Curious Cars. Bill.
Are you there, sir?

Speaker 6 (07:06):
I am busy. How are you doing?

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Excellent? Excellent? So what we're doing tonight is Bill is
going to be on the phone and it will look
something like this. So in lieu of video, this is
Bill of Curious Cars, and we will conduct all sorts
of investigations deep, shallow, moral, immoral as the show goes

(07:32):
on tonight. So, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, like
I said, children of all ages, thanks so kindly for
watching live tonight and watching the show later in podcast,
because I have a very unique and crafty individual just
for you tonight in the first hour. No politics. Instead,
it's Bill of Curious Cars. Now, this is what Bill,

(07:52):
I've determined myself personally is he is a rogue, a
rap scallion, a reprobator, rake, a rascal, a ravager, a ribald, renegade,
roused about, a ruffian, a rebel, a recusant, a rake hell,
a rever, a routier, a rudsby, a rep ray, and
even a rant a pole. I'm not making it up.

(08:13):
These are actual words in the English language. So yes,
friends and neighbors. It's the guy that I've watched for
a long time, possessing a YouTube channel, as I mentioned earlier,
entitled Curious Cars, and let me see if I can
find that side there. It is right now, So if

(08:33):
you are watching and not listening later in podcast you
can see that I have Curious Cars here, And if
you are just listening, just go to YouTube, insert in
the empty field curious cars and boom quick like a bunny,
you will be taken right here. So thanks to Bill

(08:54):
for being here. Bill, I should mention on YouTube has
only one hundred and sixty eight thousand subscribers, making us
look like serious, unseerious pikers. So welcome Bill to the show.

Speaker 6 (09:13):
It's thank you there. It just proves there's a lot
of easy to entertain people out there.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
I don't listen. If Fat Furry Ancient didn't entertain people,
I wouldn't have two viewers. And thank god, I've got
more than two viewers right now. Hey, fifty eight people
listening live right now for me because I'm a moron.
That's exquisite. So thanks are going to be for being

(09:38):
in the show. Because it's Pacific, it's eighth nine Pacific,
and it's eleven oh nine East Coast, which is where
Bill is. So thanks for being here and staying up
so late. Before we get going, I did one of these.
I'd like to illustrate the various points on social media

(09:58):
and the Internet where you can find, follow, and subscribe
to Bill's offerings, and because he's on the phone, I
will be describing them to him as well. Here's where
Bill lives on X and it's x dot com slash
cars Curious at Cars, Curious Tons. Let me scroll through
this tons of stuff right here. Hey, look, it's my promo.

(10:20):
Thanks Bill, and scroll all of this stuff all the
way down. So Bill is in fact on X. That's
one place you can go to find him here, as
I've indicated prior, just a few seconds Curious Cars on YouTube.
He has his very own YouTube channel, Curious Cars on YouTube,
one hundred and sixty eight k subscribers. Parenthesis, You bet,

(10:45):
you bastard. End of parenthesis. Okay, move on, BZ. Also,
I discovered and I did not know this until I
went diving. Oh speaking of diving, damn it, Jim, I dive.
By the way, I will describe this to Bill. This
is a new graphic created by Sean from shr Media

(11:07):
indicating that I am busy and I'm always taking a
deep dive for the truth. Let's go back here. I
did not know curiouscars dot com. There is a website
which you can go to with Curious Cars as and
you can clearly indicate and see there are all sorts
of videos right here, the Alpha Romeos eighty eight, nineteen

(11:31):
ninety Lincoln Town Car seventy six olds Umsovita, so you
can see those there as well. Let me pull this
off the stage and continue. So, hey, Bill, is are
there any social media sites or otherwise that I may

(11:52):
have missed other than those that you would like to
mention right now?

Speaker 6 (11:56):
No, sir, you got them all. In fact, it's a
miracle in on any of them because I'm you know, uh,
completely illiterate as far as as far as technology goes,
So the fact that I can make any didn't work
at all was pretty pretty pretty notable excess. I'm enjoying
the hell out of ACTS, I have to say. I

(12:17):
I've only recently started drumming it up if you will,
or you know, interacting, because I have an innate fear
of interacting with humans. So uh, you know, it's it's
been something to overcome, but it's been great fun and
I've been doing it more and more and I hope
to keep going at it. It's you know, YouTube's great,

(12:38):
but it's it's once a week for me or once
a month, and it takes a while to do. With acts,
I can snap a photo of some really screwed up crap,
I drive by and post it and it's instant interaction,
and uh, there's there's a joy to that. So so yeah,
ACX is really my prime I You've run up the
website and I was like, oh man, yeah, I remember,

(13:00):
I do have that somewhere somehow, and I have to
look into that well.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
I always have to make sure that I look into
the background of people that I have on the show.
That I not. That I mean go through social media
and see what I can find of people, because if
I have somebody on the air, and especially if I
take the time to interview somebody, especially for the first time,
I want to make sure that I am honest and
forthright and upfront, and that I promoed their stuff, because,

(13:25):
as I indicated when you and I chatted earlier, I'm
not here to embarrass anybody. I'm here to find out
what makes people tick. And I only have the Krem
de La Krem on the show. The people that I enjoy,
that I want to watch, authors, I want to read,
people that I want to interact with, and Bill is

(13:48):
just one of those people. So I've been watching your
videos for some time, and I always thought that is
one guy who is absolutely jammed packed with sarcasm, a
snip of peckishness, much exactly just like me. And then
so when I saw you on X, because you had
just as you indicated, you just recently got into X,

(14:09):
you were asking for some contact with the actual outside world.
Much to your misfortune, I thought, Okay, I'm all ready
at no. Maybe I get to yes if I ask
him to be on the show, and you know, damn you,
damn it, Jim, you actually said yes, And that led

(14:29):
to some fairly serious back and forth negotiations with our attorneys.
Objections were made and noticed contracts were in fact drawn up,
and that led to truly an our phone call we
see between myself and Bill a few days ago, where
I noticed in my brain housing group, I said, Man,

(14:51):
the more I talked to this cat, the more I
got to have him on the show. And the other
thing I'd like to mention before we get going is
that you can jump into the sumptuous and palatial chat room. Sorry,
Bill won't be able to see it, but my chatroom
has pretty much remained the same. If I can find it,
it looks like this. So jump into bz's plush, sumptuous,

(15:13):
palatial and resplendent chat room through the shr med YouTube channel.
And by way of that, if you have questions for
Bill live, then stick him into the chatroom. I'll ask Bill,
You'll get your answers, and all will be well with
the earth. There will be no tilting of the axis,

(15:33):
nothing about that at all. Bill has been kind enough
to say that he will answer questions, So, like I say,
don't be silent don't be hesitant, get right out, and
just if you have any questions, make sure you put
him in the chat room if you would, pretty please.
So here we are tonight with Bill of Curious Cars,
and before Bill, if you don't mind, before we get

(16:00):
into the gritty, cutthroat viscera of the car world, can
we talk a little bit about your background? Where you
grew up, schools, maybe military, you know, any things you
may or may not have done in your life, stuff
like that. For example, like maybe start with where you

(16:20):
were born. You know, what kind of a guy? What
part of the US were you raised?

Speaker 6 (16:25):
In Chicago, Illinois Evanston to be precise, yeah, many, many,
of course many years ago. Was born, but moved away
when I was very young to Florida in nineteen seventy six,
so I didn't have much experience with that. Came down
here apparently I was sickly or skinny, which is actually imassable,

(16:51):
and you know, they thought that Florida heat would be
good for me. So ironically, this thing that is the
bane of my existence was caused by my own physical
condition as a child. And I was raised in Naples, Florida,
where you learn how to sort of you know, basically,
if you came to Naples, Florida in nineteen seventy six,

(17:13):
you have the attitude of mister Howell. You know, you like,
you know, you're you're golfing, you're playing tennis, you're you know, anything,
but what a hit young kid would do. So it's
it's just it was that kind of a town. And yeah,
that's that's where I grew up.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
So already in Cherio, Brianda Rocher is saying, fucking Chris
worst human in the world. Oh Jesus se faster and
Bill Brian says, Bill finds the best cars, and I
would I would agree. Oh. Brian also says he was
left at a gas station on the way to Florida too.

(17:53):
How sad, How very sad?

Speaker 6 (17:55):
Did I tell that story? Yeah, that is a fact.
Apparently there was some sort of a commission on the
high way way and the story goes that, you know,
the pair they pulled over, there's broken class one of
the windows broke out, and then they're going to get
it fixed. They're heading off and to rent them or something,
and my sister in the back seat said, you know,
what about what about the baby? Shouldn't we take him yeah,

(18:17):
and yeah, yeah, and then the story then goes, oh
my god, oh there was panic and oh they turned
around and ran. Yeah. I think it was where like,
you know, fuck they remembered, you know, she noticed. I
think I would have been right now. I'd be named
goober and I'd be pumping gas and some you know
suburb of making, you know, with a with a goofy

(18:38):
hat on. Frankly, I'd probably be happier in life. But
but anyway, that that was thwarted by my sister remembering
they left me behind and they went back and got me,
and you know, there it is. So I continued on
with that family.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
So I'm sure that you were a great scholar in school,
just like I was. I breathed. I breathed my way
through school. I breezed my way through college. No, that's
a lie. My mom said consistently when she was in
between beatings, something similar to why don't you make something?
You think I'm you think I'm kidding, And she would say,

(19:15):
you know, why don't you do something with yourself? So
school was not my favorite subject. And so then moving on,
did you did you build of curious cars? Have any
sort of favorite subjects as you were likewise breezing through school.
Well I did.

Speaker 6 (19:35):
Yeah. I was originally an English major in fact, and
I had no interest in school or college or any
of it. It was all just forced, you know, parental pressure,
if you will. They wanted something different from what they had,
God bless them. And they didn't have adderrole in those
days or advanced. I couldn't really couldn't make it work
for him. But I tried them, and I went and

(19:56):
I did what I could, and you know, English, and
I ended up in college in Ireland and a weird
little place that all went south. But I was majoring
in diplomacy at that point, and the plan was that
I would end up working in some embassy somewhere.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Really oh yeah, yeah, I didn't see that coming.

Speaker 6 (20:21):
Well, there it is. There was a lot of weird
plans made for me that didn't come to fruition. At
one stage, I was supposed to go to a hotel
school in Switzerland. That didn't work out either. In fact,
that never happened at all. I just I chickened out
at the mass minute, and that what the fuck? It's
hard my language, but you know, I mean I all

(20:42):
I could think of was faulty towers, you know, and
so none of it worked. And in college then in
Ireland I went through it. I was doing actually fairly
well because I on the plane I read the Atlas
Shrugged for the first time and I thought, wow, this
is you know, I can be somebody. It was a lie,

(21:03):
but I thought that and I took off, you know,
as much as I was working all the student council president.
Uh it was. It was incredible. And and then I
quit to join a rock band, which was kind of
excuse me, screwed up because I don't really play any instruments,
but I thought, you know, we could do this and
make it work, and then bizarrely that failed. So you know,

(21:26):
then then the path towards the current position happened. But yeah,
there's not a not a strange avenues en route to
to where I've ended up. And I know, you know,
thank god my mother's past, because she'd be incredibly disappointed
at this point if she ever met Chris for instance.
You know, she had just explained that she had raised

(21:48):
me a'm lot better than that, so you know, that's
it's just it's it's better better the way it is now.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Well, so obviously since you were the clear scholar. Did
I wait, did I hear you say that you went
to school in Ireland and Dublin?

Speaker 6 (22:02):
I did. Yeah, my mother is I I was. I'm
a first generation American. My mother and father met in
Chicago as a Polish and Irish immigrant. She tracted them.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
And brand and chat said, So Bill introduced flip flops
to Ireland day.

Speaker 6 (22:19):
God Lord, this guy is very good with the notations.
I feel that. Yeah, nobody else had him over there.
I mean, I can't prove it, but then yeah, yeah,
people looked at him funny. I mean they everyone in
Ireland has these scrunched, fucked up toes because they you know,
it's freezing all the time, so they have to wear

(22:39):
these boots and three layers of socks. And it's one
of the first things I noticed. We'd go back to
my little frad and you know, my friends would take
their shoes out and God put them back on. Man,
I don't want to see that. They're like, man, what
are your feet? Are never free here, you know? And
so I did bring what I think is probably some
of the best of Florida with me over there, namely

(23:02):
weed and slip slops, and it worked out pretty good
for me. But but it was cold. It was you
had to pee away a sheen of ice on the
toilet every morning. Uh you know, like the land words
really cheap with the heat. So h but but you
know it's better than the heat quite frankly, you know,
I just have always done better with the cold.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Uh cynical survival in the chat room, says Bill. Dalton
sends his regards from President.

Speaker 6 (23:30):
That's what I mean, you know the thing about darness,
it's some of this stuff. I'm going to admit it
right now. I don't ever, by the way, you first
interview I've ever had about curious cars that I'm honored.
I part of that is because I'm the head of
the Creepy Loners Association and you happened happened to catch me,

(23:52):
you know in this weird moment of let me, you know,
interact with people. But a lot of this stuff I might,
you know, create The two people I don't have to
do any emphasis on it all is Chris and Dalton.
I mean they are even beyond whatever it is I
can portray. They are just the most screwed up people.
And Dalton is I haven't talked to him in a year.

(24:14):
Now I had it with him. I just that was it.
It was done. I gave that guy a job for like,
I don't know, five years of complete misery and you know,
the people by the way are missing or thinking, you
know who the hem is Dalton? But anyway, he was.
He was an idiot with the motorcycle he was, and
he decided he was going to be a motorcycle guy.

(24:36):
He puts a sticker on the back of it capable
of evading hypie high speed pursuit, and like, within a
week of putting that sticker on, he's tackled by five
Burley Tops at a traffic night after running from them
and chickening out, and you know, it became a thing.
And now he's in jail and he wanted me to

(24:57):
get a lawyer for him, which is, you know, I
might as well just set fire to whatever money I have.
And anyway, so we parted ways and I'm I'm not
unhappy about that.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
So okay, for the people at GOD, I highly suggest
if you guys have not watched I'm going to be
playing some videos a little bit later on. But if
you have not been too curious cars on YouTube Bill
site there and watched his reviews. The reason that he's

(25:32):
on tonight is because he reminds me of me, except
a guy with with more hair, better looking, and younger.
But it's true. But you gotta go see his site.
He has a great website. Now I'm looking at another

(25:53):
chat over on Rumble, so this is the only other
one that I get to see. Every once in a while.
There's a guy named Whiskey Dale in run who says
are you still a cut or asks are you still
a Cub fan?

Speaker 6 (26:06):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (26:08):
Okay, yeah, all right, I.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
Mean I'm not. I'm not obsessive. I'm not. I can't
tell you the e ras and the lineups or anything,
but you know, I look at the standings and try
to catch a game or two.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
And also in chat here, Brian says the twisted Knitwitz
was Dalton's gang.

Speaker 6 (26:29):
Yeah, what do you call the motorcycle gang leather thing?
He was walking? I mean, man, look, the last thing
we need to make this show about has anything to
do with that guy. He's already dominated far too much
of my life over the last few years. And I
would rather stick up the molten hot and did he

(26:50):
need him in my eye than than keep discussing him. So, yeah,
he is yeah, twisted midwith regards of the young gays.
For christ, I don't know what the hell he had
on the back of that thing, but it was I'm again,
I'm just glad I don't see the guy anymore.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Some people have what I call a predicating event that
sends them in a direction that they hadn't foreseen when
they were Like when they're going in one particular direction
in life and then something happens and they end up
going into an entirely different direction. You know. For example,
I had one that I will talk about later because

(27:29):
the show isn't about me right now, in law enforcement.
So did you, Bill of Curious Cars? Did you have one,
so to speak, that sent you some place doing something
that you hadn't quite anticipated.

Speaker 6 (27:45):
Yeah, I would have to say it was acquitted the
college to join the band. And then we all moved
to Tampa from Dublin. I brought these Irish guy man.
We drove by a store called Badcock Furniture. I never
thought they would stop laughing. For some reason. They thought
that was the funniest shit they had ever seen in
their lives, that this store existed. But I had all

(28:06):
these Irish guys in Tampa. Uh, you know, eating big
plates of spuds in the apartment, and we were recording
music and you know, doing what we do. But of
course it all failed miserably and uh and when they
last and when it failed, I kind of am sitting
there in Tampa and this has changed the course of
my life because now what the hell do I do? Uh?
And that sort of steered me down. You know, I

(28:28):
started selling clock radios on eBay. It seems like a
really good way to avoid a job. I'd go around
to these thrift I was doing it during the band
stuff to make a few bucks to you know, you
go in the trips store, you find some crappy thing
and you clean it up and put it on eBay,
and you know, some twitt buys it. And so I say,
I did that with a company called I called a
Vintage Technology dot com and uh, you know that that

(28:52):
was then going to be the thing, and uh so
I was working on that, and then that's somehow led
do a car of some variety. And of course some
cars have always been a thing for me. I've always
had a deep, deep love for them. And once I
got into the car thing, a friend of mine who
had a job in Miami that he hated, said man,
I'll come there. We'll start doing cars and and he did,

(29:14):
and then you know, we did that for years. He
turned out to be a douchebag. And then I went
somewhere else and uh kept with the car thing, and
that's probably what sort of steered it all to where
it is. And then I ended up in a place
called an auto house with a big Austrian lunatick named Peter,
a very nice guy but but insane. You know. I

(29:36):
went in, I said, I want to be your internet guy.
You know, I'm at Autohuse and Naples. I'm uh, I
want to be around and I'm showing him print outs
for me Bay and he said, no, no, you're gonna
You're gonna sell cars and I'm not. And I'm like, no,
i'm not, Peter, I don't like people and I'm not
going to do that. And he said, now that is
what they're going to do. No, no, I'm not. And
it turned out he was right. Yeah, So I ended

(29:58):
up doing that and I'm not gonna lie. I Without
getting too deep into it. A few years after that,
my sister's working for some I don't know what you
call it, like a investment banker firm or something, and
some group of guys is coming up with this crazy
idea to list cars on eBay, and I'm like, you know,
I've listed a thousand cars on eBay. I'm wondering why

(30:20):
this guy's getting startup money, but he did. And his
big thing was cars had to have videos. And of course,
you know at auto House, any stupid task was passed
on to me. So Peter hands me this Miata and says,
go do a video of this thing. And I'm like,
what do you did a video? He did a video,
did a video of it. What am I supposed to
say about it? To Miyata? You know what, I don't

(30:43):
play tennis. And then I took it and did a
video and that was the first one and started doing
more and just became farm and that's kind of what
I did, the old curious cars thing as time went on.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Let's talk about your involvement and background with automobiles. Were
you interested in cars? Like from an early age you
were a kid and you'd see something go by and
you go, ah, that is really cool right there.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:12):
Yeah, And my dad didn't know a car from an airplane,
so it didn't come from him. I had just did
some kind of natural thing, you know, started with matchbox
scars that sort of never never stopped and had a
big one when when I was about ten, my sister
started dating this guy who turned out to be an
enormous asshole. This is somebody I didn't even discussed on
the air. But he also was an enormous impact on

(31:36):
my life. And he was a real car guy. And
so from the age of ten, he was kind of
around probably till I was seventeen or eighteen, and he
had a lot to do with, you know, grooming my car.
Love you know, if you will, And then I just
never went away.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
So the guy that you were working for initially, Hey,
tell you what, folks, I'm not going to take a break.
I'm not going to do any breaks because I need
to get through this stuff as much as possible and
I want to make sure that I talked to Bill
and squeeze as much stuff as possible into the show.
So I just remind.

Speaker 5 (32:13):
Everybody Conservative media done right. You're listening to the shr
Media network.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
And folks, we're talking to Bill of Curious Cars. He
is live on the phone, as you can see on
the screen.

Speaker 5 (32:27):
And this.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
Again, go to the sah, excuse me, go to the
YouTube channel in the field. Type in Curious Cars. You'll
see his site. It looks like if I can get
there this and look at as I scroll down here
there are tons and tons of videos. That's home. Let's
go to videos. Look at all the videos that he

(32:53):
has right here. Oh, look a Bentley flying spur. If
this doesn't keep you occupied for a long time, with
all the cars that he has here for you to
drool at, I don't know what's wrong with you. And
maybe I don't know what's wrong with you because I
don't know what's wrong with you. So when you were
told by this guy Bill of Curious Cars, hey, go

(33:16):
do a video, did you know anything about video? I
would not have.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
A damn thing. Yeah, yeah, I mean I knew the
iPhone had a video feature.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Okay, so you started with the phone. You started with
an iPhone, then I.

Speaker 6 (33:31):
Did, and you know, I've switched to a camera, but then,
in fact the nast few videos, I've gone back to
the phone because it's a pretty good video taker. I
use it, and then the microphone and it seems to
work fine, but yeah, so I went out there with
my phone. I already I'd lived in a crappy house,
so I asked, I had a really fancy neighbor with

(33:52):
a great house, and you know, can I take a
video in your yard? And he said yeah, So I know,
put it out there. And I'd always look through the window.
I see his wife and his underwear and shit, and
I feel terrible about it, but really, but Yere's yours
is not an unappealing woman, quite honestly, and it sort of,
you know, became I feel like we had a thing.

(34:12):
H But I'd walk around the car and and talk
about it. And in the early days, it was all
about the cars, and uh, you know, as the videos progressed,
I realized that this was a great medium for me
to release all the toxins within me, about all the
horrible things and people that I know and that have
happened to me. And I just started and the first

(34:34):
ten you know, these the bane of my life is
that these videos are too long, and I just can't
get around that because the first ten minutes of the
car review video is usually about how some idiot friend
has screwed me over, and you know, has very little
to do with cars. And but but you know, to me,
that's just a way to get it out. It's cathartic,

(34:55):
it feels good, and you know, at that point I
just want to go with it.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
But okay, Brian in chat, sorry you can't see this,
but Brian said, and it was it was such a
quinky dink that you just mentioned this. Brian says, okay,
how long were you at auto house the first time?
And then started Auto Europa with Marty? Uh? And then
he said, and this is what made me laugh. Also,

(35:21):
Marty loved unappealing women.

Speaker 6 (35:24):
Oh dear God, is that true? Man? Is that true?
I mean Marty was sick as sick of the mashed potatoes.
I mean he was the most screwed up individual I
have ever met in my life. That I man, and
I've met some bad people, but Marty, Marty was unique.
He loved female bodybuilders, and not like the ones you'd
find organically in town. He would like go seek them

(35:47):
out and like Eastern European competitions and shit, I mean,
these women would they would They would scare me for igno,
you know, I mean, and and he have him been
he somehow important to the United States, move in with
him in some little shack in the back of the
dealership and they'd just be wandering eat of them washing
the cars or you know, lifting things or acting as

(36:08):
you know, jacks, and it was just it was it
was a real It was a very very strange experience
being there. And the thing actually started with Auto Europa.
This is very time polluted, so I'm not going to
bore everyone with it, but I had Peter owned a
company called Auto Europa which I got hired at that
was bought by Marty who had never done anything with cars,

(36:29):
and it showed. So I was with him for a
couple of years that had out of Europa when he
failed miserably, and then Peter inherited his you know, forfeited
land back and started Auto House. And that's when I
went back with Peter. And then I left Auto House
to go to the new Auto Europa. You can imagine
how annoying the story is, and then actually went back

(36:51):
to Auto House again a few years after that. So, uh,
these two sort of sister companies that are mirror images
of each other existing at the same time in Naples,
and I just bounced between them and I had friends
at both.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
So are you Apparently I get the deal that you're
kind of a tech guy, which I am not. And
it's obvious that you well, you know how to edit.
You We chatted about this in that first hour and
the delio was, you know, I go live, and you asked,
if you know, do you go live? Can I go earlier?

(37:31):
Can I go later? All those things? And I said, yeah,
you are infinitely smarter than I am in terms of
you can edit. You know, Sean initially told me, hey,
why don't you do a podcast edit all this stuff
to get No, I can't do that.

Speaker 6 (37:44):
Very I got to interrupt you there. I'm sorry. It's generational.
You're boomers can edit. No boomer could ever edit. It's never,
it's never. It's never going to happen. I mean we
we the gen xers kind of had a little bit
of it at the TAMM you know, so we got
some of that, We got some of that. But but

(38:05):
but I think that's the difference. I just said, yeah,
so yeah, I can edit, but I think you know,
it's just a matter of place and time and that
sort of thing. I'm definitely not in kind to it.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
See, I A the reason we got the first bell
of the night is boomers can't edit. Correct. Hello, Yes,
and I forgot to tell you that was the name
of my my third garage band. Boomers can't edit. And
in the chat, Jeremy Hanson says, Hey, ask Bill what

(38:38):
was his first car?

Speaker 6 (38:41):
Oh shit, nineteen seventy nine firebird formula.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Wow, okay, back when they had a thousand horsepower.

Speaker 6 (38:51):
Oh god, no, no, it was a Malay's car. Oh yeah,
it was not. It was. Yeah, it was a seventy nine.
It was, and it was it was devastating. It was.
It was this guy that was dating my sister. His
brother had bought it somewhere and it was some drunknd
Naples who did every guard rail in town. I mean,
the thing looked like someone took a hammer down the
side of it and he fixed it. So he you know,

(39:13):
fixed it up, made it really nice. And then somehow
they force fed it to my pag you know, my
poor parents putting up with this shit, but they ended
up buying it. I was only fifteen and a half.
I only had a learner's permit, so for yeah, yeah,
so one in the garage and for six months, and
it was cheap by the way, you know, at different times,

(39:35):
but for six months I had to walk by it
every morning and get on the big yellow school bus
and it was devastating for a kid man like I
was up at like two am the sixteenth birthday to
get down and get that license. It was still to
this day, probably the greatest moment of my life was,
you know, having that murders thing removed and now I

(39:56):
didn't have to drive with somebody next to me, and
it was great. Yeah, I mean, you never forget your
first car.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
Oh no. But but like you said, sixteen year years
old having to get on the big yellow bus and
you walk right by a trans am, I mean, what eic?
What a punch in the nuts is that? Or it
was a big one, you know.

Speaker 6 (40:19):
I mean for me, it's not a you know, it's
not like I'm you know, looking for a canned food drive.
But it was it was still it was. Yeah, it
was tough on a dumb young kid to you know,
know that things sitting in the graduating for me and
not being able to use it. It was cruel in
a way.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Yeah, it was. But there's somebody named Griff in Chat
who says, Bill, I don't know if you recognize Griff,
but he is in chat and another person called Furze Napple.
I don't know if that's somebody that you recognize. My
uncle had a sixty two Impellicanvertible Anniversary Gold and Brian said, hey,

(40:56):
my first car was a nineteen ninety two Cutlas Supreme
Tude or Teal with a three point one impressive engine.
Zero to sixty in about four days, maybe a week.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
Not sure, so, folks, which are still the cars I'm loved,
by the way, that's the year, you know, I've asked
the year I love there.

Speaker 6 (41:17):
They may be terrible cars, and I don't care. These
are the ones I love. I grew up with.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
Well, yeah, because they're your cars. They belong to you.
You love them, You nurtured them, you rub them with
wax and perhaps other things. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (41:32):
I made sure to have jobs. Well, you know, I
worked at car mots Amat as a kid. There's a
Catamac dealership in town and Bulick that I worked for.
And you know, because I made sure i'd be around
it might be able to touch them and get in
them and play with them and drive them, and so
you know, I exposed myself to them, out of them
and got to interact with them, which is which is

(41:54):
great for what I do now because you know, the
memories are there and they're you know, it's a good
sources to pull from the you know, my own experience
from playing with them as a kid and crashing them
and doing stupid ship with them.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
But see, isn't that kind of the you know how
many people you and I both said, I'm not going
to make a million dollars doing what I do. I
just do this stuff now because I love it. I
do podcasting or shows and whatnot. I enjoy it. We
discussed how you do what you do in the way
that you like to do it, and you're not going

(42:29):
to compromise and do it in any other way. And
I think that's another way in which both you and
I resonate with each other in terms of I saw
someone of a kindred spirit who said, I'm not doing
it for anybody but me, and if other people like that,

(42:50):
that's great, and if they.

Speaker 6 (42:53):
Don't, yeh.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Yeah. So I have to make this notation. If I
could pause for a second, I'd like to make an
observation about your videos. Things that your viewers already know,
but things that I think it's really important to emphasize
and obviously mention, Yeah, your videos are entertaining. I'm going

(43:17):
to be playing some your irascible and that that is
a major attraction for US fans if perhaps you think not,
but it is. But that's simply that is simply not
enough to satisfy a growing cadre of people, like I
mentioned one hundred and sixty eight thousand plus subscribers to

(43:38):
your channel unless there is a massively important ingredient that
you add that I think is critical, and that's your
your staggering knowledge of cars. I find it pretty pretty amazing,
and it's what attracts car folks to your channel. And

(44:01):
you start a video, I don't. I will ask you
about this in just a moment. You start a video,
you go into great length about the history, the creation,
and the details of all those cars. You compare the
pieces of equipment inside, the accessories, the engines, the looks,
the styling, the interiors in a way that few people

(44:24):
can and it's like I liken it to this, and
this is why people, if you haven't watched any of
his videos, you will enjoy them. It's like taking us
on a journey with some okay, with some side tangents
along the way of cars that many of us have loved, hated, wanted,

(44:50):
maybe we even had them years ago. And then you
bring that down to earth on walkarounds that continue to
display your knowledge of all those cars. So I think
the first thing is how do you determine what car
that you're going to review? Do you have a backlog

(45:11):
or a source of vehicles where you go, yeah, I
like this one, this is what I'm going to do.
And then if well, first, how do you select your cars?

Speaker 6 (45:18):
No? No, nothing so grand. You know, I kind of
wish it were like that. I mean, quite frankly that
the cars that I select are the ones that I
run across. It's just opportunistic, and you know, I pass
up a lot of cars because they don't interest me.
But you know, if that's one of the dealerships I
hang around with, you know, they get a car on
the mouth that I love, or Dave the wholesale or

(45:40):
a friend of mine will get a great car and
I get to, you know, a cyber truck recently I did,
which is you know, I mean, it's it's far from
anything that is in my history. But I find it
fascinating that someone could make a vehicle that looks like
that and sell it, and you know, so I want

(46:00):
to know what this thing's all about, and you know,
having the opportunity. Man, there are so many cars I
want to do that I've never run across. You know
how many chevets are must like four? Know, yeah, and
you don't get them very often. So I've gone to
the point of going to auctions. I buy cars that
I like and hope that I can sell them for

(46:21):
what I paid or close to it. To be able
to do review. Being a bit of an introvert, I'm not.
I don't go out and seek out cars that people
own and you know, talk to them and go do
the review, which is what I should do. And it
goes back to what you're saying, you know, I'd like
to say that that me doing the video is the
way that I do them is just based on principle,

(46:42):
but quite a bit of it is just it's it's
kind of who I am. I don't know how to
do it any other way anyway. You know, even if
someone explained the correct way, I'm not sure I could
follow that. So so basically I have a hell of
a time getting cars and probably make a much harder
job out of it than it needs to. But and

(47:02):
you know, the fortune to take is when I go
to the auctions, I drink very heavily and that helps,
you know that, that helps, you know sort of yeah,
oh my god, here's a Pinto that's checked up at
the back with you know, and and and I'll buy it.
And then I'll wake up the next morning. I did
I buy that Pino yesterday? You know? Yeah, Bill, you did?

(47:24):
And okay, shift all right? Well and then you know,
so I better review it at that point. Uh but
but but yeah, so car cars are tough, man, I
And you know, I'm making this move soon from Florida
to North Carolina. I have no network of any kind there,
so it may force me to start sort of trying
to track cars down, uh and do them. And when

(47:47):
I do that, and if I do that, then I
will try to have that list of the one I've got,
you know, fifty cars on the list. I want to
do that. I've just never come across and and I'd
love to. But you know, cars are this unique and
fascinating bit of history in a twenty foot or mess package.
I mean, you can take a car of any era

(48:08):
and sort of get a fuel for what was going
on in the world at the time by looking at
the car and by you know, seeing what the colors are,
what the materials are, what the dashboard looks like, what
the display looks Mike. You know, when you look at
an eighties Pontiac and see all this, you know, night
rider dashboard stuff, you get a fuel for the era.

(48:30):
And I think they're a little bit underappreciated. Cars are
over appreciated in general, but I think they're a little
bit underappreciated as as a moment in history. And I
think that's that's really what makes them neat, even if
people don't immediately grock why you know, it's not just
the nostalgia of it, but it's it gives you a

(48:50):
really good indication of what we were when the car
was made and how that's changed. If you compare a
seventy six Camaro to a cyber truck, you can, you know,
sort of get a feel for how we've how we've
do you know, how we've become very different. So it's
I just think it's really neat to dive into a
car and dissect it. And uh and and also to

(49:12):
put it in the context of the time, what the
news was, what the songs and the radio were, and
you know who who was doing what? And uh and
and I think putting the car into that context is
is is part of what makes it fun.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
She and I knew there were similarities between you and I.
Clearly it appears that you were a Hindline fan, because
I've been saying for years decades basically, yeah, do you
grock that concept? And that was way before AI, way
before X and Twitter and all that kind of stuff.
So you must be a hind Line fan at what point?

Speaker 6 (49:48):
Very possibly.

Speaker 4 (49:50):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (49:50):
There's a question in chat from Jeremy Hansen. Hey, ask
Bill is he a Dodge, GM or Ford guy?

Speaker 6 (49:58):
If I had to pick one on the G guy,
and with great reservation because I think GM are a
bunch of idiots. But you know that said, the Firebirds
started me out. You know, I worked at a GM
store and so that you know, maybe it's just as
simple as that, but you know that's that I love
the peculiarities of all three.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
Brian in chat also says, uh, Bill has a story
about a Darwin. Do I does that Darwin? Yeah, I'm
not sure what that. Okay, let's move on. Okay, all right, Well,
like you said, cars are like a memory trip, they're

(50:45):
like education, they're like a journey. They're a really cool
way of looking at Well. For example, I'm an autodidact.
I didn't I didn't give a shit about school. If
I did anything, I taught myself and I went through

(51:07):
every book in my high school about war, because the
history of war is the history of the of the planet.
And you are like that. So you you're a big
experiential kind of guy who just soaked all of this

(51:27):
information in because you were through those cars. You loved
those cars, You saw those cars, and they are representative
to you of I don't know, little museums of times past.

Speaker 6 (51:43):
Absolutely, and it's very accessible to people. And even people
aren't car guys or car girls or what have you.
They all had a car in their life they loved,
or an experience in a car, you know, several experiences
in a car. But say, cars played a huge ole
in life, an enormous role, and and you know they're

(52:04):
there for the good, the bad, and the ugly. And
they're you know, usually in the background, but still always there,
and and they're just yeah, you know, it steers me
towards them, and even the history of the old history.
It's fun to read about, you know, the you know
what a bastard Henry Ford was, or you know how

(52:28):
Ransom Moles wouldal ended up miserable, and you know that
it just gets kind of interesting to put you know,
the people who have created these things and what became
of them, either good or bad, and you know what
drove them to do it. And I don't think that's
entirely lost. You know, there have been many you know,

(52:51):
car movie of that Tucker movie for instance, you know,
a very high budget, very big Hollywood things. So it
shows you there's a mass market for it. If you
remember that movie, I think it was Bridges Jeff Bridges, yep. Yeah,
they're very very interested movie that I believe mostly you
know true and and and it is. You know, it's

(53:12):
such a part of our lives that we can all
relate to it. And I think that's that's part of
the joy of it for me, is that it's just
such an accessible thing to everybody. Even the people who
don't love cars can be interested in them if the
stories are told right.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
Well. Yeah, and because there's so many commonalities between the
car that you had at the time that you had it.
It's just to me, your job is what I would
love to be able to do, because that's your gig,
that's that's your thing. And then to be able to
have a place where you have the freedom to do

(53:49):
that along with all the other things that go along
with it. Let me back up here just a little
bit and put this on the screen. Okay, I'm talking
to Bill from Curious Cars. On the screen right now
is your gazikte and along to the left is your logo,
which says good morning, Curious Cars. And let me start

(54:09):
with this and there put this back up again. There
are goats, two goats on top of a Porsche, and
I have this. I'd like to play this if I could,
just for a moment.

Speaker 7 (54:22):
So I've known Peter for many years and I know
him pretty well, and I just don't think that this
is going to make him happy, you know, even though
that's an old boxter, it could be any one of
his prized vehicles. And we've got two of these satanic

(54:44):
goats on it, not one, but two of them. So
maybe now, maybe now it'll happen, Maybe we'll get that
company goat roast I've been dreaming about with mint jelly
and apple sauce and roast potatoes. This could be this
could finally be it. Anyway, hopefully they decided to stay

(55:05):
with that Porsche, not come over here and start troubling me.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
So I have I must ask, how is it that
two goats came to be on some dudes Porsche? Who
the hell has goats in Florida at Austria?

Speaker 6 (55:25):
Apparently? I'll tell you it's very very easy. Peter is
infatuated by ladies the way that I may be infatuated
by cars, and he has this predilection that ended up
with really fucking strange ones. And he had a divorce
for a very nice woman that I would have capped
quite frankly, and went to this lunatic woman who he

(55:49):
found quite appealing. But the rest of us all were thinking,
this is chess, not gonna end very well at all,
and it didn't. But he moved her in and she
brought goats with her because she thought they were cute.
He has a big property, it's got a sense, so
he let the goats run free, and you know, he
thought it was great up until that moment, and quite frankly,

(56:11):
I didn't see the goat. Very quickly after that, they
were gone. I mean there was no roast, there was
no dinner. I don't know where the goats went. He's
very mysterious when I ask him. But but the goats. Yeah,
the goats vanished very quickly after that. But that was
all female driven, which you know, for any any guy,

(56:33):
is enough of an answer to immediately know how that happened.
You know, she wants to goat, she you know, gets
what she wants, so that that that's how it went down.

Speaker 3 (56:42):
Well, let's put it this way. The goat roast probably
wasn't on that property. But even though it's a boxed
people that have porschas probably didn't take too well and
too carefully to that.

Speaker 6 (56:56):
It was funny, is people. People had said that because
the goats were making cameos in the videos for a
couple of months before this, and in fact, one time
they ship them over the driveway and I, you know,
I'm doing the review, and I thought I took it
first to me. I do not think those goats did
that just organically. I think they knew I were I
would be there. They know where I parked it Carder

(57:19):
to do the video, and it was littered with a
little shitty goat balls that morning. It was his twenty
eight or something, and they'd come up and they just
look at me, these fucking me. They come up and
just look at me, and it was, you know, it
was really unsetting me and and I wished them harm.
I'll be perfectly frank with you, and finally, you know,

(57:39):
this happened, and it was it was a change I
between you and me. I kind of missed the goats
now because it was kind of fun to riff off them.
But but at the time I was really glad they
were gone. And I just feel, you know, they were
after me. That's that's all I'm going to say. They
were after me. They they were not neutral characters in this.

(58:02):
They enjoyed tormenting me. You could see it in their
middle goat faces. And that is the key to the video.
As well as I get that, I'm not as people
are troubled that I find squirrels disturbing and you know,
cats and birds and such. I mean, I just I
feel like nature wants you dead, and I don't feel

(58:22):
enough people are sort of saying this. You know, you
get all these you see the videos on YouTube of like,
you know, the nadies petting the black bear or something.
I mean, and that thing's going to kill it, you know,
and it should and it's the natural order of things.
And I feel a certain duty to remind people of
that that no matter what animal it is, it really

(58:42):
doesn't matter. It's going to sleep a lot better at
night if it killed you.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
Well, just ask Timothy Treadwill. I want to go back
to here's Griff. He has a question for you. He says,
I love the Lincoln mark that you had at the
auction a while back. My mom had car back in
the early eighties, and another gentleman said, hey, this is
from Cynical Survival Bill. Any thoughts on the Lincoln LS

(59:10):
slick looking an underrated, great driver, albeit an unreliable piece
of crap.

Speaker 6 (59:18):
Yeah, yeah, I want to say that was Jaguar based,
if I remember right, it was a S type with
Lincoln body panels or something. We had a few at
the dealership. Yeah, I mean it's a fine car, I'm
sure for some. I mean it's a little bit than now.
Very nicely you pointed inside because it's the Lincoln, but

(59:42):
not particularly notable and quite frankly, it's of the era
after my era, you know, I kind of drop off.
Cars all started to look like sperm after my ninety
three and it just sort I never never went with it, never,
you know, never got there. I felt the cars of
the eighties and seventies and sixties that I'm up more.

(01:00:02):
I am fifty, you'll go on, I just yeah, yeah,
Like with music, I guess it's probably just generational again,
it's what you grew up with. But but yeah, I
stopped enjoying new designs after a certain point. And I'm
you know, you look at the man, every car looks
like every other car today. I mean there's yes. Man,

(01:00:22):
you go into a Poldsmobile dealer in nineteen seventy two,
if you want to order a station wagon, you probably
have thirty four colors you could choose from for the
outside and fourteen or fifteen from the inside. You know,
you go to a dealership today, there's going to be
maybe two interiors maybe, I mean, unless you're spending a
ton of money, you know, at a highline store. But

(01:00:44):
if you go buy a Honda or something, you're basically
getting gray inside and maybe six colors outside and everyone
just had to start building cars differently. You know, the government,
the regulations killed the distinctness of cars. You know, they
became so expensive to do all the safety features and

(01:01:04):
backup cameras and parking sensors and and all this other shit,
and not not only expensive but also complicated, so you know,
they had to change the way they were built, and
that changed the way they could be made, and it
made you the only thing that made sense was to
just have fewer available joys to the public in exchange

(01:01:25):
for you know, the ability to put all this crap
in a car. It made them more expensive and made
them less reliable. And yeah, they're safer. I wouldn't argue
that they're definitely safer than they used to be, but
I don't care. I'd rather die in a nice car
than you know, live in, you know, in a turd.
So they just don't have that distinctive us and that

(01:01:46):
that went out the window for me probably in the
early nineties.

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
Let's do this right now, because we're not going to
do any any breaks. I just want to remind everyone.

Speaker 5 (01:01:55):
The conservative media done right. Listening to the shr media network.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
In the chat room, there's a gentleman named T five
fifty bill, how about fitting in that tour of Naples
before you leave? I don't know, were you even thinking
about doing something like that?

Speaker 6 (01:02:13):
Yeah? Yeah, man. You know, one of the famous things
that I do on Curious Cars is make promises that
I never keep. Yeah, yeah, it's it's eternal. It's absolutely eternal.
And you know, I've done a few where I've kept him,
and frankly, people should be happy for that, because that's
a miracle. Yeah. I have said I was going to
do a tour of Naples in a car and I

(01:02:35):
have not done it, and I will. And I'm not
leaving Naples entirely either, because it turns out I still
have to make a damn living somehow, you know, So
I know how to do that here. I've got a
great network. So I'll probably come back here for the winners,
you know, when the weather is tolerable, and spend a
few months, you know, selling some cars that can around

(01:02:58):
doing what I do. And so I'll still be in Naples.
I'll still do videos from Peters Driveway and all that,
but just the bulk of the ear, you know, assuming
it works out, I'll be in this god forsaken wilderness
of western North Caromina that hopefully the natives will take
kindly enough to help me. So but yeah, so yeah,

(01:03:20):
I will to answer his question, yes I will. One day,
I will do a tour of Naples, especially because it's
kind of easy, so that that won't be too hard.

Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
And then there was somebody else in the chat who said, hey,
we love the videos, really enjoy it. We're kind of
hoping that are you making any coin off of this,
or at least some kind of a return that makes
it possible for you to continue.

Speaker 6 (01:03:45):
Yeah, you know, a good question. The answer is yes,
but not, you know, far from enough, if it could
ever be enough. It's very very you know, it's fantastic beer.
During COVID it was it was five times what it
was now because you know, they locked everyone up inside
and I got a ton of views and I thought

(01:04:06):
I was going to be a millionaire, but that that
didn't work out. But yeah, I make a little beer
money here. It's it's, you know, a stream of income there,
a stream income here. It's certainly not enough to make
me comfortable or happy, but it's enough to keep the
ball rolling.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
And somebody in chat, I hope I'm pronouncing this right. First,
Apple Bill, do you have any advice for flipping cars? Thanks?

Speaker 6 (01:04:30):
Yeah, put a pot over your head and bang a
hammer on it as hard as you can and then
get a proper job.

Speaker 3 (01:04:37):
Can I can? I translate as in no, don't.

Speaker 6 (01:04:44):
Know what you're dealing in. You know, if you're going
to flip cars, man, I'm not. It's you. Remembers Gordon
Ramsey shows where some idiot would buy a restaurant who
used to run a steamroller. You know, it's the same thing.
A lot of guys think they can get in the
car business and make it work. Man, it's hard. It's

(01:05:04):
a hard gig. Guys spend thirty years you know before
they they even reached their their peak. It's a horrible
way to make them living. First of all, it's horrible.
It's retail. It's you know, everybody already hates you before
you even make it to work. You're a used car salesman,
and by the time you get there, it just gets worse.

(01:05:25):
So it's much tougher than it appears, and it's not
as lucrative as it appears unless you're the real money
in the car business now is in all the addendum, shit,
you know, in the old days, you could buy a
car for X, sell it for Y, and the margin
in between was pretty good and that was your profit.
That's gone. Everyone now buys a car for X and

(01:05:46):
sells it for X, and then they make money on
the financing or the warranties or the you know, the
other ship that they pile on you when you're sitting
behind the table. And that's that's where the money is
now in the carbet business. Because everything's Internet price driven.
So it's a whole different world. And you know, a
lot of guys gonna behind because they couldn't they couldn't change.

(01:06:09):
And I was one of them. I mean, you know,
I did this as a as a retail gig for
ten years at auto House or more, and that was
our thing. You know, we we worked on margin. We
didn't you know, do the do the stuff that that,
you know, the financing money and all that. And and
you know Peter, by sheer force of will, he made

(01:06:31):
it work and it became very lucrative for him. But
but it's old school and it really doesn't go on anymore.
It's it's a different, different business now, very corporate, very
corporate business.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
I find this very appropriate cynical survival. In chat said
something similar, remarkably similar to you can end up with
a million dollars flipping cars? Are how start with two million?

Speaker 6 (01:06:56):
He detailed it, emailed it. I know a lot of
guys who moved or what I'm at. You know Marty
great example man. You know he was a he was
a quartorate accountant. He said, I'm going to go sell
cars and make a ton of money. Well he didn't
any very much, didn't. So it's it's tougher than it, musks.
It's you know, you look outside that looks maybe like

(01:07:19):
a bit of fun and you get to play around
with a lot of cars and all that is true,
but to actually make it make money is a whole
different ball game. It's a tough It's a tough racket.

Speaker 3 (01:07:29):
Another comment and chat from T five fifty. He says, Hey, Bill,
thank you for answering my question. I have watched all
eight hundred of your videos. God help me, God help me.
As you'd say, somebody created a best of Bill compilation
on YouTube, and I'm going to go to it right
near that, right here, that is up, and I would

(01:07:53):
be remiss if I didn't play this here This is
again another reason that I watch Bill's videos. Bill won't
be able to see this, but he can certainly hear it.
So let's hit it that.

Speaker 7 (01:08:04):
It's been a mixture of things, all of them retarded.
I have a feeling this is not going to be
a forty minute video in the interest of time, in
the interest of appeasing the people who may want a
shorter video. I'm sure this is going to be a
short video. I have absolutely no doubts about that. We're
going to try and you know, cut that down a
little bit after that fifty minute sucker and the Mark

(01:08:26):
five the other day, and this video will be like
thirty minutes tops tops. I know I'm going to get
shipped for it, but the.

Speaker 5 (01:08:33):
Hell of that.

Speaker 7 (01:08:35):
Oh, for the love of God, Good morning. This is
Bill from Curious Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:08:42):
I got to ask, did you just think that, Hey,
it's morning, so that's how I'll start my videos?

Speaker 5 (01:08:47):
Good morning?

Speaker 6 (01:08:48):
Well yeah, I mean, I guess I don't know where
it came from, other than it just felt weird to
just start talking. I mean, I don't like I should
say something to at least, you know, break the ice
for so it's just yeah, good good morning, seemed to
make a natural thing to say. It was. I start
videos very very early, you know, like video day, I've

(01:09:10):
had probably up by three thirty and in the car
light four thirty, because I know nobody does the night drives,
which I don't know why that became a thing for me,
but I ended up making it. You know that I
drive to Peter's place from wherever shack I'm living in,
and you know, show the illumination inside and the cluster
and the headlights and and it's just it's a I

(01:09:33):
think it's a part of the car world. You don't
most people don't show. I don't think I'm great for
showing it, but it interests me. I like to see
the way a car might shop and and that's that's
a big part of them. Of course, when the days
get very long, I get annoyed, and I you know,
it's lovely in winter when I get to sleep in
a little bit so, but but otherwise, yeah, I have

(01:09:55):
to be at it pretty early, so it's always morning.
I'm drinking pretty heavily at that point, and you know, yeah, yeah,
I mean I got it. Look, you know, at the
risk of amurving the state troopers, I'm not gonna lie
there A few a few, you know, a few tugs
of bourbon does help me get through. I found there's

(01:10:17):
a couple of things in life that helped me get
through the day, and that is pills and whiskey. And
if you know, if I'm gonna if I'm going to
do a video, then I probably need to have one
of each to sort of, you know, be who I am.
And and that that's where it went from. The key
is not the balance. You know, there's a few times

(01:10:39):
when when I've gone a little bit too strong on
the flask at the video and and and it's too much,
you know, like I can hear it all ship you know,
I'm silurrying. That's that's a bit much now. So finding
that balance is key. And and and I'm still that's
that's still an ever changing task. I'm still working on
that one.

Speaker 3 (01:10:59):
But see, that's why I love your videos. That's why
the people who love your videos love your videos. No
one can be you except you, No one does your
reviews except you. And just for a microsecond, like I
was serious about twenty minutes earlier, I'm going to be

(01:11:19):
serious for a microsecond right here, I watch your videos
because nobody else does a video like you. They are entertaining,
and they are packed jem gepacked, like I said, full
of knowledge, which is a clear indicator that you know
from whence you speak. Plus you also get.

Speaker 7 (01:11:38):
Cars and auto hust of Naples on a continually shitty,
awful muggy miserable muggy buy me crappy, basically shit muggy, miserable,
shitty muggy, grisly vicious, horribly muggy, miserable, shitty muggy, human,
horrible muggy, devastated, gloomy, shitty muggy, terribly miserable, generally shitty,

(01:11:58):
miserable muggy, hot as miserable. Forward to Wednesday, the weather
that I hate is back in force. I mean, you've
got to be shitting me. It is just that awful
right now. That's one of the reasons that I'm drinking
whiskey in the morning. Absolutely sucks. It's just so depressing,
This tropical sun that will bake you to an absolute crisp.

(01:12:19):
You know, I've always dreamed of manning like a radar
tracking station in the North Atlantic where it's a constant
year round temperature of.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
Okay, excuse me, I'm crying.

Speaker 6 (01:12:32):
Anybody who lives in this god forsaken town was nodding
their heads. That's all I'll say from this. That is accurate.
It is accurate. Jesus, you don't know how good it
feels to get that out, man. You do not know
how good it feels to get that out. If I
didn't have that release every time I did it, I'd

(01:12:56):
have moved a long time ago. It's very helpful. It's
that hot and that miserable down here.

Speaker 8 (01:13:02):
Just it's Bill's weather report negative thirty or more, and
I think I would be very happy there because frankly,
I usually have zero hope about anything, or probably there
are no goats either, and I doubt birds are happy
in that kind of weather.

Speaker 7 (01:13:18):
So if I see any sort of job opportunity coming
up that has that sort of thing available, I'm going
to be all over it. I think it's bullshit, but
we're going to go with it. The glasses are fogged up.
I'm miserable as can be. This morning is starting to
climb rapidly. Really is quite devastated. Obviously, I'm entirely optimistic

(01:13:40):
and happy most of the time.

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
I'm still continuing with the whiskey therapy.

Speaker 7 (01:13:44):
Oh my god, I'm telling you the coronavirus whiskey, which
of course I'm still doing.

Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
Definitely, Okay, I gotta go for it a little bit, because, okay.

Speaker 7 (01:13:57):
It's fine. One thing that is not fantastic is the birds.
Look at the ship right overhead. The animal snuck in
when I wasn't looking. You saw that bird fly in,
little son of a bitch.

Speaker 6 (01:14:08):
And now look they're.

Speaker 7 (01:14:09):
All staging in that tree right there. They're probably raising
little bird terrorists in there to come out and peck
at me when I'm not looking, waiting for me to
not keep an eye out for them. The minute I
look away, they're going to swoop down and start pecking
at my parts that look soft and fragile.

Speaker 6 (01:14:30):
What does the.

Speaker 7 (01:14:31):
Squirrel go up and eat that thing? It has to
taste better than a nuts, bastards.

Speaker 5 (01:14:38):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (01:14:42):
Oh boy, yeah, I said, you know, nature, it's one
of that. I don't trust those things. They have air support,
you know, they have airpower, and they have something we lack,
and it's only a matter of time before they figure
out how to use it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
Okay, let's see. Let me back up here a little
bit cynical survival who has had some great questions in
the past. Here says okay, Bill scotch or bourbon bourbon, okay,
all right? Asked and answered, Brian says, I can't get
enough of the shitty, miser miserable misery. It's so fucking relatable.

Speaker 6 (01:15:26):
I'm telling you, man, anyone in South Florida hears that,
they don't think it's all that special. Yeah, that's how
I wake up every summer. It's just that hot here.
It's just that dreadful. Anyone with half a cents gets
the hell out of town.

Speaker 3 (01:15:42):
Griffin the chat says, okay, Bill, how do these older
cars drive and ride in general? Compared to modern cars?

Speaker 6 (01:15:51):
Every car is an individual. It's a weird answer, but
it's true. And I'll give you for example, I just
sold a nineteen fifty six studs see her suburban wagon
on bring a trailer. Beautiful, really beautiful to look at.
But every time I was handed something like this in
the past, I said, Man, I do not want to
drive this piece of shit to seven eleven. Man, you

(01:16:14):
know it's going to break down, it's going to be miserable,
it's gonna somehow screw me. Over and it always did.
But this one, this particular one I took on the
Interstate at seventy five. It broke while it steered. It
kept running, it didn't explode. And hot started it cold started.
It was great. And that car is what I don't know.

(01:16:34):
I'm fifty six. I can't do the mask. It's about
sixty nine years old. And you could drive that car
daily if you wanted to. I mean, granted it didn't
have power steering. But the woman who droves, the guy's
great aunt, he got it from. You know, she had
arms like Popeye and she could pick any one of
our asses. But that was, you know, that was a

(01:16:55):
tougher generation. But I mean, so cars drive pretty well,
but you know, you get a nineteen seventy six Cademac Fleetwood,
you're not going to get a better ride. You're just not.
And that's where Cademak put all their money. You know.
Now they have to put it in like any d
accent lighting, so the snowflakes are happy. But back then,

(01:17:19):
all the engineers worked on was making sure nobody could feel,
you know, running over a toddler or a speed bump
or something. So it was a whole different, different thing,
and I do think that the big full for I
think that's why everyone went to pickup trucks. You know,
you go back to nineteen seventy five and nobody had
to pick up the farmer had a pickup truck. But

(01:17:41):
now everyone fucking drives them. And that's because they did
away with those big cars. And I think they you know,
the guys, guys make a big, proper car, and then
they all had to move the truck. So so yeah,
I think cars drive great now. They're fine, they're lovely,
they're wonderful. But I think, well, you know, if you

(01:18:01):
go back and you get a new nineteen seventy five,
you know, Caddy, it's going to drive better than anything
you buy today. For sure. May not be a safe
you know, probably just crash off the side of a
mountaintop and the snow with no trash, you can drow
or anything, but it's it's a better drive. It's a
complex question, it's not it's not that simple. You get

(01:18:23):
a better feel from the old ones, but you are
a hell of a lot safer in the new ones.
For sure.

Speaker 3 (01:18:29):
My brother had a let me see, if I get
this right, you would probably know the true engine vehicle combination.
My brother had a seventy Cadillac I think that was
the year four door, which had the five hundred cubic
inch engine in it. You got it right, that I drove.

(01:18:53):
And it was back in the day when you would
have this. I talk about my plush, sumptuous, resplendent and
palatial chat room. This car was like driving your sofa
down the street with with tufted with tufted material. It
wafted over bumps and whatnot. I never forgot that car

(01:19:19):
at all period, you know, And.

Speaker 6 (01:19:22):
That's what it was better. It was better when you
opened the door of one of those things and it
looked like a Spanish por deemo, and and it was
so comfortable. Yeah, you know, I mean, it's beyond anything
we could ever have today. Yeah, I just you know,
I'll argue that that was that was a better world.

(01:19:43):
I'll argue that to the best.

Speaker 3 (01:19:44):
It was certainly simpler, easier, and you know, I think, uh,
and again, correct me if I'm wrong. I mean Buick
with the Riviera some of the other cars. They also
had four fifty fives later on in the seventies, and
there were four fifty fives, okay, Albeit with two barrels

(01:20:06):
that had I don't know, one hundred and seventy horse power.

Speaker 6 (01:20:11):
Yeah, they had to sun them, they did.

Speaker 3 (01:20:13):
That's the US.

Speaker 6 (01:20:15):
They still had torque, they still felt make V eight
you know. But here's here's beyond that. It was a
time when cars were expressing the optimism of the country.
You know, you had all this wasted real estate. You
had two feet afoot in runt of what you needed.
You know, you had eighteen feet a trunk beyond what

(01:20:36):
you needed, and and you know, big dumb chrome switches,
you know, and I mean all of the stuff that
showed you know, hey, I'm optimistic. I'm the future is great.
Cars today are built in a pessimistic society. It's a
completely different vibe. You know. They don't they don't do
anything they don't have to do. Man, the whole our

(01:21:00):
design world for eighty years was about doing shit they
didn't have to do. You know, scale fins, Oh yeah,
you know the jet age, you know the way that
it probably there's no more era of car that fit
into what I'm talking about in the history than that
whole the jet you know, the probably had the very

(01:21:22):
late forties fifties that sort of thing going on through
the sixties. You know, every car had rocket chaamites and
you know, super jet intakes and and and it showed
in America that I think was aspiring. That was great.
You know, we felt we were onto something and becoming
something and becoming great and it and it showed itself

(01:21:44):
in the cars. And that's that's gone now, you know.
And you had made it's like Riviera and El Dorado
and you know El Camino and what do you have
now the Europeans won that battle, or you know, every
car is like the XT twelve seven, you know, yeah,
I mean, it's just the glamor of it is gone
because it's like moving from PanAm in the fifties to

(01:22:06):
spirit air minds. It's just it's it's you know, yeah,
more people get to do it, but it's just not
as good.

Speaker 3 (01:22:14):
My dad had a nineteen fifty eight Olds eighty eight
and in fifty eight I was eight, and I would
love Dad going into this that's what. That's back when
there were gas stations on every damn corner. Dad would
drive in and Dad would wait. Sometimes the guys would
come out to try to That's back when they would

(01:22:35):
provide service and they would have. They'd look all over
the back and they couldn't find out where to put
the fuel. There's no fuel thing on the side, there's
no there's no little flip or there's no little port,
and so they look left, they look right, and Dad
would have to get out. And in that car, the
fuel filler was in the rear tail fin, which you
had to slide sideways, and then you found the fuel

(01:22:57):
filler cap within the fin. I love to have dad
that anytime I was that, anytime he wanted to get gash.
I wanted to go with Dad so that he could
I could watch all the guys go, where do I
put in the fuel? It was grand, It was glorious.

Speaker 6 (01:23:16):
Those adults of the world. Yeah, exactly. Was there any
better sound in the world than that rope bell? Well,
when you would drive into the floll, that the ding ding,
that the beautiful crisp analog bell, you know that you'd
hear inside the car gone, another thing gone, you know
from our world. And you know, compare that experience to

(01:23:38):
driving up to a seven eleven and do him self
served by tapping your card. It's I feel bad for
the people who've never experienced, you know, just just the
lovely quality of the world when it was, you know,
like we remember it. And you know, my poor nephew
is a stuff flag and the other then he came

(01:23:59):
over the other day. My nephew's he's twenty one or something.
He's that poor guy, you know, but he can't envy.
I gave him a coke bottom out of the fridge.
He has to he could have a drink. Handed him
a bottle cap bottom opener, and he's tapping on the topic.
He had no idea how to use the bottle ochre.
I've never seen anything like it in my life. And
I don't think, by the way, this is normal even

(01:24:21):
for a snowsnake. I think most of them can use
the bottom ochre. I think he's a special taste. But
with the fog Jack, I mean, it's a bottom of
dead deadness, you know. And when I think of the
experiences that the sort of the beauty of things that
he's missed, I think it's sad for him. He's grown
up in the world that's that's so corporate and so

(01:24:45):
the same everywhere that that he just I think they
lose him out of joy, you know. I think that's
why they look for in weird places.

Speaker 3 (01:24:54):
There is no childhood anymore. That childhood is gone, and
I believe that's intentional. First Apple in chat says, one
of my favorite Bill clips is when he drove past
a dead rabbit on the road and said that shit
looks like he Wojima. Okay, that made me laugh.

Speaker 6 (01:25:16):
Well, it's some of the fun of doing all the
videos without editing, right, you know, you just get to
you get to sort of riff off what's around you.
And I do love having fun, And not that I
enjoy dead rabbits, but you know it today or I
may as well make.

Speaker 4 (01:25:29):
Mention of it at least.

Speaker 3 (01:25:31):
Jeremy Hanson in the chat says, also, when do you
think muscle cars quit being made?

Speaker 6 (01:25:40):
Well, I don't think ever. I think we're just coming
to the end of the truth. I mean, look, I
mean one of these healthcats have nine thousand horsepower, and
you know, I think okay, the last muscle car of
the car that he's talking about is in nineteen seventy
nine Pontiac trans Aam four speed w S six package.

(01:26:02):
If you will, that Pontiac was the only company that
kept it going through the Malays. That was it even
not even as he twenty eight did not even Chevy
same car, and they didn't keep it going, but Pontiac did. So,
you know, the Burt Reynolds Transam, if you will, was
truly the mass muscle card. Otherwise, if you want to
say when was the mass general what seventy one? You know,

(01:26:28):
with the minute to five million hour bumpers and the
emissions came in, that was the end of it. And
you know, at the time, I get it, you know,
I mean, these kids were buying four underdorse power chapels
and killing a family of five on the interstate. It
was bad for the insurance companies, and you know that
the rates went up, cars got more expensive, and you know,

(01:26:49):
we find ourselves in the modern world we're in today
because of the the way the way it had to
make corporate sense. But so yeah, probably you know, there
was probably a until seventy one a car company could
they could make a car any damn way they wanted,
and it really didn't. There was no outside forces restraining them,
not much anyway. And that all changed after after the

(01:27:13):
five mile hour bumper and the fifty five speed and
then and the emission stuff. Then all of a sudden
they had to build cars to spec and that that
changed them out. And of course where they went in
the seventies was they just turned everything into a you know,
Corinthian leather bor demo. But uh, you know then everyone

(01:27:33):
got sick of that, started buying, you know, sobbed the Volvos,
and then everyone started building you know, sobbed Volvos and Mercedes,
just with different badges on them. So and we could
keep going from there. But yeah, long answered or short
question seventy one end of the muscle car era seventy nine,
last you know, outlier muscle car. But if you can't

(01:27:56):
see that the last ten years has been the true,
you know, the true, real nine hundred doors power muscle
car thing, then you're not paying attention because they never
no Chevelle could outperform anything they made in the last
ten years. You know, that's as fast as they even
a camera as frigging three hundred doors power. Oh yeah,

(01:28:17):
you know, it's yeah, it's what people want, I guess,
But seems Simmy.

Speaker 3 (01:28:23):
Griffin chat said, as a kid in the seventies, I
remember cars having bench seats for the front seats, and
I remember never using a seat built quick cop story.
As a aside, my first new old cop car as
a cop was a seventy three Dodge Monico I believe

(01:28:44):
bench seat. I was a trainee. My training officer was
six foot four and two hundred and eighty pounds and
he had his knees in his chin whenever I would drive.
Brian du Rocher also says, I want to say Bill's
favorite car is the eighty five to eighty nine Mercedes
five sixty sec. If you had to have one car,

(01:29:08):
car or a Mercedes Wagon, or maybe the general question is, okay,
is your favorite car a Mercedes five sixty sec? And
if not, which car?

Speaker 6 (01:29:22):
Okay? I do not. I could not narrow it down
to a favorite car. It's possible. It's like your favorite song.
Come on, you know, there's too many that are fantastic
in their own way. Because of Auto House and because
of the eighties, you know, when it was all bends
and such. I got in love for the European stuff,
and yeah, I do love a five sixty sec. If

(01:29:45):
I had to own one, it would be a one
twenty three Wagon, which I actually do have one now,
which you know, the three hundred TV those early eighties
Mercedes Diesels Man that there will never be era like
that again, where people like that built cars like that.
There is no more German engineering. It's gone there, that

(01:30:07):
doesn't exist anymore. No more Germans build anything. Back then
they did, and they were signing the pieces of wood,
you know, like the craftsman who made the center console,
would you know he would make it, he would put
his middle dots on the back of it, and then
the install it. And those cars there were no accountants
of Mercedes them and they just you know, built a

(01:30:29):
car to be what they wanted it to be, and
it would cost what it would cost at the end
of it. And they decided with that one twenty three
car that they were going to build the ultimate serviceable,
long lasting automobile. And there is no part of that
car that isn't made to be. It's a forever car.
It's made to be owned and driven for as long

(01:30:51):
as you're willing to maintain and do it. And I
think that's just really cool. And I don't know that
any other car you know, in ear anyway that I
know very well, has been built to to that level.
For that reason, you know, the styling was of moderate importance,
but not huge. It was more about that thing was

(01:31:12):
going to be fucking indestructible and uh and they did
pull that off. And that's why I like that thing
so much. So yeah, so you know, if I had
an error down to one car, that could well be
it because I know, even if you abuse it, it's
still going to keep it like a Spanish prostitutor. So
it's just going to it's going to be there. So
you know, it's it's done. It doesn't have many better options,

(01:31:33):
so uh, it's just except it's it's modern life and
and you know, go with you. So that's it's it's
a fantastic cart and that that's probably the one I choose.

Speaker 3 (01:31:45):
Folks, I'm ezy. That is Bill from Curious Cars. I
want to remind everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:31:50):
Conservative media done right. You were listening to the s
HR media network.

Speaker 3 (01:31:58):
Unleast Jeremy Hanson in chat says, hey, do you own
or have you owned? A truck?

Speaker 6 (01:32:04):
That's all I own? Yeah, I mean my daily driver
is a truck. Okay for the mask probably for the
mast ten years. I was never a truck guy ever.
Got my first truck, I don't know, ten years ago.
It was like, you know, like when I met my
first cigarette, it was just love at first sight, and
I've never looked back. It's it's been trucks. It's very

(01:32:26):
difficult for me to go back to a car, even
very hard and yeah, so yeah, I guess I'm a truck.
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:32:35):
Let's continue.

Speaker 5 (01:32:37):
Oh damn it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:39):
Oh I deras that thing. Let me bring it back,
Okay in the meantime.

Speaker 7 (01:32:43):
One thing here it is not fantastic is the birds.
Look at the ship right overhead, right over it. It's
not in When I wasn't looking, you saw that bird.

Speaker 3 (01:32:52):
Let's go another one. Let's just get into this thing.

Speaker 7 (01:32:54):
When I first saw this car at the dealership, it
just reminded me about bloody annoying jdmp Bamar. They're like
even worse to make the android phone enthusiast. Oh look,
this twelve hundred horsepower hyper boosted Supra is way faster
than a stock Shelby GT five hundred. It's dipshits with
a glowy band around their neck. You know, it's got

(01:33:16):
a twelve zz ze eighteen f engine. Man, it's Hamo
kitty belt pop.

Speaker 3 (01:33:23):
Sorry.

Speaker 6 (01:33:27):
I stand by those words. I stand by every word.

Speaker 3 (01:33:31):
God that ought to be the name of my sixteenth
garage band. Hello, Kitty Belt bubble.

Speaker 6 (01:33:40):
Man. I don't know what that bomb did to those people,
but can we all agree they're a little fucking strange,
you know. I mean, the ship that comes out of
Japan is more than a middle disconcerting and uh and
to this day, so that that is a very very strange.
And you know, I do like I'm sorry to just

(01:34:01):
jump in, but I've got to say one of the
things one of my great joys and car reviews is
sort of bullying the bullies in the sense that when
when I review a Porsche, I want to remind those
Porsche people, you know that that that Professor Porsche was
Hitler's favorite engineer. I feel I need them to know that.
And uh, you know, I want to remind the Japanese

(01:34:23):
about the comfort women and the you know, the the
terrible things that went on there. You know that these
cars have been I mean, you know, Anyonoey who's troubled
by a Tesma for christ Ache, are they're gonna hop
in a Volkswagen? You know? I mean, these these these
were some terrible, terrible people who built these things. Uh,

(01:34:43):
you know, included Porsche and Suzuki and Toyota and Mercedes.
They were they were pretty pretty rough cats. And and
it seems like that gets glossed over. Everyone loves to
talk about how dreadful the United States is, and I mean,
one of the fucking sisters of charity compared to these
other country God, yes, you know, my nephew and other
you know, oh my god, you united to state. Man,

(01:35:04):
go look into history like Portugal. You just pick a
country and see what they did to these people and
lay off. Man, you know, be proud for you know,
coming from a place and that and at least tried
to done some good and you know, didn't didn't try
to addict people to heroin or you know, otherwise you know,
destroy them. So anyway, I digress, but I think it's

(01:35:27):
very very important to remind people of the you know,
connections of these cars to some really bad players in history.
I think that's that's amount of fun and I get
joy from them.

Speaker 3 (01:35:38):
But that's part and partial of the whole thing about
the car itself, about each individual car, and that I appreciate.
About what it is that you do in a review
is yes, it's a car. You'll open up the hood
if there is anybody who is a master at opening
a big damn hood one handed. It would certainly be
built of curious cars. Having having most deaf mastered that ship.

(01:36:00):
Uh Cynical Survival said we need a pay per view
of Bill boxing Doug Demiro, and right after that, Brian
said Doug Doug would not get Bill's humor.

Speaker 6 (01:36:16):
I'll make an admission. I've never watched Doug ta Bureau video.
I just can't get past the thumbnails. And and I'm
not a big YouTuber any I don't want to be,
you know, I don't want to copy anyone subconsciously or something.
So I avoid watching other car reviews other than Top Tier,
which is of course you know you can't. You can't

(01:36:36):
such a bloody fantastic show that you can't miss it.
But but yeah, I know I don't watch those. I mean,
you know, God bless him, he's doing great. You know,
those guys are all king of the hill. But but
they're they're not doing what I like doing.

Speaker 3 (01:36:51):
Who wouldn't want to watch all those three guys on
top Gear? Anybody besides those original three are pretenders to
the throne Coma and a suck. Also, here's another question
built what car do you dislike the most?

Speaker 6 (01:37:09):
Oh God, where do I start. I hate more cars
than I like. The two come to mind BMW I
three middle fucking German toaster, and they miserably give me
the poser car. Both of them are poser cars, the

(01:37:30):
ones for idiots to pretend they have some you know,
I love the earth, I love the world, you know.
Actually a great story. Andrew a good friend of mine.
Andrew owned Auto Europe, a different version, the mechanical side
of it. A terrible, terrible human being and a practical joker.
He leased an I three because he makes all this

(01:37:51):
kort of techy goofy stuff, and I guess the thing
has some kind of a pedestrian avoidance system that they
built into it, you know, because it made or big
city streets or whatnot. So he gets this mechanic then
that you know, goofball that he has said, Hey, you know,
we're going to test the system out, puts the guy
in front and all the shot days drives the car

(01:38:11):
at him and hits him, and Fred goes over the
top of the car and not super fast where the
guy's got broken anything, but but you know, he's a
little bit fucked up, and Andrew says like, oh shit, man,
I'm so sorry I had that system turned off to
try that. So he does it again, hits the guy again.

(01:38:32):
But poor guy, he's like, you know what the and
Andrew goes out, I forgot I didn't get that option
I did and yeah, yeah, And I mean that's Andrew
to it. T he is. He's just the goofiest sucker
at everybody. But he comes up with those things that
I find so so you can't help but laugh at him.
Nobody else would think of that, you know, he just

(01:38:54):
gets the guy that, you know, hit some, hit some.
I think he once paid the detail of thirteen dollars
d to drag him fly. That was funny too, But
I would do anything. But but yeah, the Eye three,
what a little stupid piece of shit. And if you
look at their the brochure for it, it's your door
panels made from recycled materials, you know, And I mean

(01:39:16):
people used to make lamp shades out of people. They
have a lot of nerve doing this kind of shit.
So I don't like that car. And the Ghibli is
such a poser car. It's it's a Chrismer three hundred
with different skin on us, you know, to to make
people they actually pipe in the exhaust down through the speakers.

Speaker 3 (01:39:37):
I heard about that. That is so over the top stupid.

Speaker 6 (01:39:42):
Exactly exactly, you know, And viol Ferrari didn't need to
do that. And you know, he was a bit of
a douchebag, but he knew how to make a car
that made people's pulse take it and he didn't have
to pipe it through a six by nine to do it.
So so yeah, there's just a lot of goofy, goofy
cars out there, most of them n and and and
I felt that way about Tesla's until you know, as

(01:40:05):
to admit I kind of you know, that became a
bit of a fan for for other reasons and and
you know, but you know, driving an iPhone basically, but
it's I will I will get, you know, like the
cyber truck. You remember the Claibeth Prowler. That car looked
like a hot rod. Yes, it came out and and

(01:40:28):
you know a lot of people hate on that car,
but they built it. Man, they they built it, and
it was unique and it was interesting and people liked
it and and it was cool. And I'll give the
same vibe to the cyber truck. You know, I mean
you look at it and you think, okay that you
know it looks like a door stop, and it does,
but it doesn't look like anything else on the road.

(01:40:50):
It's unique. And I don't think a car necessarily has
to be great or loved by me to be appreciated
by me. It can it just being unique enough in
this world where nothing else is. So I gave a
lot of props to Chrysler for building met Prowler, and
I'll give you on some props too for the cyber truck.

(01:41:10):
You know, the other cars are kind of vanilla, but
the cyber truck is unique, and love it or hate it,
it's definitely different, and I think that's enough in today's
world to give it some credit.

Speaker 3 (01:41:22):
Folks, I'm talking to Bill from Curious Cars. Bill, you're
in Florida, So I get the importance of various nooks
and crannies and cars created just for the various makes
and models of handguns. And, as you so clearly.

Speaker 2 (01:41:33):
Point out in your videos, which again make my ass laugh,
a really practical addition to your videos, I might add,
so I did, But where did you get the thing
about chipper Canadians and perhaps how many you can cram
into a backseat.

Speaker 6 (01:41:49):
I'm glad you asked that. I hope we can get
this out so I don't get asked it anymore. I'm
kidding very safe. So I worked at auto house basically
in Naples at the seasonal town. So everyone comes into
town and buys, you know, they buy a condo and
then they say, okay, you got to go buy a
car to park in the condo. So that's what we sold,

(01:42:11):
an auto house or condo cars. I sold so many
Colks con vertibles to the middle old eighties. I mean
it was they see another one, I'm going to vomit.
But uh, basically that was my gig and teaching them
how to keep them for months till they came back.
The Canadians would they would always come them to a
mate in the season because they don't really enjoy spending money.

(01:42:33):
It's not their favorite thing. And they would they would
they would come, you know towards the end of season
when when the rental prices went down the middle and
they'd come buy a car, and they usually have like
three or four Canadian families with them, you know, for
whatever reason. It would be this whole flock of Canadians
and one of the worst I could in. I could
go on, they're like, they're might the Asians a little

(01:42:56):
bit and forgive all the ethnicity, but car people need
to know this stuff. When you're sell on a car
to a Canadian, they perfectly mimic a real customer. You
actually may think you have one all the way until
the end when they give them some offer that that's
so off the charts it becomes funny. But when they
did buy a car and a few rears, like the occasions,

(01:43:18):
they would squeeze like all like four couples who were
they would be six of them, like a Mini Cooper convertible.
It was like a clown car. And they would drive
off there three in the front, three in the back,
and some tiny little convertible. And it's just it's a
phenomenon that never happened with my American customers. It was
always just a husband and the wife, you know, and

(01:43:41):
they would drive off and they look perfectly normal. Every
time a Canadian couple bought a car, there'd be like
three were Canadian couples with them, and they'd all drive
off in the car together. Even if they had to
mess the car they showed up with to go try
it out or something, you know, either a place where
they could have a kneal of equal or value for free.

(01:44:01):
But and it was just, you know, they squeeze themselves
in it, and that it's maybe not the great answer,
but it's the answer. It just I never saw another
race of people or ethnicity whatever you a country fit
so many people into a middle car in Naples with
the top down. And you know that's why I sort

(01:44:21):
of try to help them by showing them which cars
they may be able to fit more of themselves in.

Speaker 3 (01:44:27):
Let us continue.

Speaker 7 (01:44:28):
I didn't hate using the phrase social media. It just
makes me sick thinking about it. If that's not a
word that makes you want to take an ak forty
seven and well anyway, facebooks and tic ticks and tiktoks
and Instagram, which I believe is a cocaine delivery service
of some kinds, And all of a sudden we're in this,
you know, ultra digital internet world where you can share

(01:44:51):
a picture of your private parts with some woman you
found in Sweden two days before. It's a very different world.
What the hell happened? A variety of others supid things
that snowflakes need so they can stop worrying about pronouns
at climate change and just enjoy themselves. So it's a
phone going off again. I believe there's Klark May and Android.

Speaker 5 (01:45:09):
Shit.

Speaker 6 (01:45:10):
It's on in there.

Speaker 7 (01:45:10):
If you want it dumb enough for me to understand.
Oh come on, if I don't understand that at all,
and that's irritating as hell.

Speaker 3 (01:45:19):
I'm sorry. These these are great videos. You mentioned Tesla.
Here's your Tesla video. Let mean, ford you ahead here
just to scars on.

Speaker 7 (01:45:31):
You know what is quite frankly a very nice, proper
Florida March morning. The temperature is probably in the sixties,
maybe close to seventy. It's not humid for a change,
and you know, this is the kind of weather that
makes me happy to occasionally be in southern Florida. Unfortunately,

(01:45:52):
by the time noon rolls around, it's going to be
in the mid eighties, which doesn't sound bad until you
factor in this horrible tupical sun which just bakes the
shit out of you. I mean, you know, eighty five here,
even in the winter, is different from eighty five anywhere else.
It's brutal to be outside trying to do anything, you

(01:46:14):
still want to get inside because the you know, it's
like that Twilight Zone movie where the sun was getting closer.
At not movie, I think it was the show and
everyone was burning up and it just sucked. And that's
what it's like here. So in that vein. That's why
I have now finally closed as of yesterday on a
house in North Carolina.

Speaker 3 (01:46:36):
And let me stop right there first, let me ask
you what did you think of the Tesla? Actually three questions. First,
what did you think of the Tesla overall?

Speaker 6 (01:46:46):
Which, why are we talking to the cyber truck?

Speaker 3 (01:46:48):
Yes, the cyber truck.

Speaker 6 (01:46:49):
Yes, the cyber truck. It was weird, and I know
that's an obvious answer, but it's a true answer. And
the controls are weird. I hopped in it and it
took me, and I'm a little bit of a car guy.
It took me forty five seconds to put it in reverse,
you know before and what once you figure it out,

(01:47:11):
you figure it out. But none of their controls and
systems are based on any existing theory or architecture, so
it's it's learning a whole new It's like I think,
speaking of top gear, you know, Carkson was talking about
citru and he said, you know the way you make
the turn, saying, oh, come on, is you'll make the sunvisor.
It's like, you know, you just a French shield. They

(01:47:34):
knew what a car was, but they've never actually seen
one when they designed it. And I think he has
these snow flake kids designing the cars and they've ever
driven a car in their life, you know, or maybe
their mom's undue and they don't know, so they just
they create operating controls that don't relate to anything anyone knows.

(01:47:58):
And there's a real learning car with those cars. And
I don't know how people, thank god, they self drive today.
I mean I fucking crash into everything driving that thing,
just trying to figure out how to go to the
next radio station. It's a it's a complex, uh you know,
computer driven car. It's very fast. It's insanely fast, which

(01:48:18):
you know, I think the whole electric car thing is
ruining the world of hot riding because what's the point. Yeah,
I mean, you know, the thing does zero to sixty
in three seconds or whatever the hell it is, Well,
why go build a race car? What's it goes zero
to sixty and two point eight after spending eighty grand
on a Camaro just it doesn't make sense. So I

(01:48:43):
enjoyed the notoriety of it. I was really hoping someone
was going to pain a schwastik on it. I enjoyed
that video too, because it, you know, I like again
Riff and I went to AutoZone and I bought like
those Fender vents and the Hula girl. I was trying
to disguise that I was in a cyber truck so
I wouldn't be attacked by Antifa, you know. And I thought,

(01:49:05):
if I could get enough AutoZone accessories on the outside,
it wouldn't look like a cyber truck anymore. But that
that did fail. People were still able to identify it.

Speaker 3 (01:49:16):
Damn it. Jim. There's a final question here in the chat.
Did you ever have a Cuban want to ship a
car back to Cuba?

Speaker 6 (01:49:26):
No, No, that that never happened. I have shipped cars
to amount of places, but never Cuba. And anyway, they
well they did. They put pontoons on the side of it,
you know, some kind of outboard motor and get back there.
You know, these people are very industrious. Remember're not going
to use a boat.

Speaker 3 (01:49:44):
And Finally, I'd like to throw this in. You have
a video that's up on the screen right now. I'm
not playing it, but it says my camper tripped from
Hell oh God. So maybe you can let us know
what's going to be happening with you in the not
too terribly distant future.

Speaker 6 (01:50:05):
I bought a camper. I cheaped out because of a
friend of mine who sort of encouraged me to cheap
out instead of doing what I wanted to do, I
decided to go to Tuscaloosa. And actually, the comments of
YouTube are great, and I read everyone. I don't answer
them because I I've always been kind of I've answered
a few, but I want people to know I do

(01:50:26):
read everyone. And in that video, I said there's no
good roads to Tuscaloosa, because it's true. I mean, it's
just there's no good way to get there. You just
can't get there from here. And he said, man, there's
no good roads to tuscal Loosa. Sounds like it's on
the country charts, And yeah, I appreciated that, but but
you don't buy a camper at a repossession auction and

(01:50:48):
decide you're going to live in it the first night.
And I did, and none of my friends stopped me.
And that's why I now have realized I don't have friends.
And I'm wiping the snake clean of these beople because
somebody should have intervened. You know, when when you had
ninety whiskeys in your heading towards your car. Your your
friend's supposed to stay bill, you know, hey don't Yeah,

(01:51:10):
no bad idea. None of them did that. And and
the things that I saw and touched and taste smelled
I can never experience. And and they're with me, and
and that was a really bad camper trip. I did
buy a place up there. Again. I've been threatening it
for years to get out of Florida. People always said

(01:51:31):
I'd never do it. Won I'm doing it, And in fact,
I just I'm going up there on Sunday. I've found
a shop property to build a shop on that. Yeah,
I'm kind of burned down messmab or something. So yeah,
I have a theme in my life. So but you
know what man Man compared to Naples prices like it
was free, you know. I mean, it's such a joy

(01:51:54):
buying property somewhere other than here. I mean, if I
stuck my camper on the I of the road. I
could probably ask six fifty for it. In Naples is
just a very terrible place to try and get mean
or do anything. And there's a lot more opportunity, I think,
and the rest of the country. So so I'm hatting
up there. And you know, don't know anyone, don't have

(01:52:17):
a feel for anything. Just I feel in awe every
time I walk out of a grocery store and see
a mountain behind me, and I think that's the most
beautiful fucking thing I've ever seen, and I want to
be here. And the weather, of course, you know in
the mountains is a lot cooler hopefully, And that's the plan.
So we'll see how that goes. Well.

Speaker 3 (01:52:38):
It's probably about time to wrap up. It shouldn't shock
you that it's almost two hours on right now, So
thank you for being here for so very long. It's
going to take a while for you to it's going
to take a while for you to move so in
the meantime until you get there, do you have any
videos planned or are you just concentrating on getting everything

(01:53:02):
down the road?

Speaker 6 (01:53:02):
I no, I do. I do. I'm building a cameo
project that's getting a video the wagon that I'm doing
is together. There's a N's ten that'll get a video,
and a buddy Suzuki Samurai. But I'm trying to pile
all those in amidst the other crap that eternally happens
and all the horrible people I have to hurt around.
So I do have some videos coming, but they're they're

(01:53:25):
not coming as quickly as that night.

Speaker 3 (01:53:28):
Well, I think that's about it. I know it's shoot,
it's almost one a m. It's twelve fifty three pm.

(01:56:02):
Emotional consideration as per normal is by the Lockheed Martin
skunk Works. Also by Sure and Electro Voice Microphones. To
the people that manufacture my board, the Iracus, which screwed
up because it wouldn't let me bluetooth the phone so
people could call in, but they weren't going to call
in anyway, because that's the nature of podcasting. People don't

(01:56:23):
have the gall and the temerity to call in. Comma,
you cowards. And also emotional consideration by Pratt and Whitney,
dependable engines producing thrust you can trust. Also tiaras are
by my Little Pony, and of course ever so many

(01:56:46):
