Swatch & Audemars Piguet Just Caused Global CARNAGE

Welcome to Spike's car radio everybody. There's a lot going on in the world that I'd love to talk about. Don't forget that your friend Spike is going to be at the Indy 500 in his new position as spokesman for Edwards Life Sciences. I am a spokesperson for the Edward Life Sciences Heart Vale, but I'm going to be at the Indy 500. There's going to be a film there. I'm going to be there with Ray Hall, Letterman, Lannigan Racing. I'm super excited about it. Matt Farah is going to be there and I've never seen the Indy 500. So don't forget to say hello if you see me there. And I'm going to be there for five days. Oh, God, wild. What does one do? What does one do in Indianapolis for five days? I've got a full schedule. They've already sent it. There's some good steakhouses. There's some good steakhouses. Are there? Yeah, yeah. Meat chunks. Anyway, there's a really fun story happening in the news. I have to talk about because we, you know, we're not just cars. We're watches here. It's Mike's car radio. And it is the story, the rumor a few weeks ago, that there was going to be a new collab between Swatch and AP. How do you pronounce that? Audemire Piguet is close. AP. Let's just say AP, right? Everybody get excited because of the Swatch Omega's and then what was the other one? The Monk Punk, whatever that was. And these cool little plastic watches that we love. And suddenly pictures started leaking and we saw this come up and we went, oh, my God, these are going to be amazing. The Swatch AP, the AP community went nuts. They couldn't believe that Swatch was going to cheapen the watches that they buy to try to look cool and try to look rich. This was going to cheapen their whole image. I got really excited. I was like, oh, I'm going to get one of those light blues. I'm going to get one of those light greens. And I can't wait for these to go on sale. They only go on sale at Swatch stores around the world. Yes, Johnny, you have a question. Is it today? It was today. But yeah, then we learned that, guess what? This was a fake picture. This was just AI. This was not the collab. Actually, what they're making was this, a pocket watch. Let's see the dial. Yes, we're making pocket watches. And then that's where I stopped paying attention because I thought, you know, I have no use for a pocket watch. And it really made me laugh that this everyone got excited about this collab. And then suddenly, you know, I sense that Swatch and AP were like, shit, this is out of control. You know, we didn't play this right. We got all of this excitement about the original leak. And now we're putting out a pocket watch. OK. But yes, Johnny, the watch itself. Yes, pops out. I understand. You can put it into an actual. I was going there. Oh, so dumb. I know. Sorry to know. I was trying to get through the story. But yes, as Johnny points out, you can remove the pocket watch, buy a skeleton thing to wear in your hands and then have a watch where the watch pops out every time you swing your hockey stick at the puck or tennis racket, it falls out of the court and you step on it. OK, whatever. That I'm just saying, my point was just this simple, Johnny. I lost interest at this point because I don't want that. The way that thing looks looks like a fucking nightmare. And where am I storing the purple and pink thing? Like, where does that go? Anyway, throw that out. Who cares? I guess I'm alone because as the day changed overnight, the footage started coming in from around the world of the people waiting in line desperate for money or desperate for these. And that is not a guy. And look at this. So watch AP drop has caused carnage. You got what do they mean by carnage? Go to the next slide. Look at this. Why you fuck you? I want my stopwatch. It's just craziness. Keep going. Keep going. It's just it's just madness. I think partially because people are excited about this, but also resellers knew they could double their money very quickly on eBay. Look at the woman there. Look at the lady in the bushes. Much more than double their money. Much more than much more than she's getting shoved up his ass. And it gets worse here. Put on your headphones. Go to this next. So then as I was sitting down today, this post was on my feet. Listen to this guy's coverage. To watch collaboration between luxury brand Audemars Piguet and Swatch has led to full blown chaos in the street. We had people camping out for 24 hours. Look at the guy. Bum rush the doors. Bloody nose. This woman overdosed while waiting for a chance to grab an AP watch. Stop for a second. How is how is that Swatch's fault that she overdosed? And what was she overdosing on? She was so excited. She overdosed. Who the fuck is this guy? No, no. Who the fuck am I? This is all that's news these days. All you have to do is put yourself in the lower quadrant. Right. Everybody listens to you for some reason. Oh, yes. There was so much excitement. This woman overdosed to tamp down her excitement. She had no choice but to take fentanyl. Make zero sense. All right, here we are. This is it. It's about to be 11 a.m. OK, see what happens. Watch. Disaster. Absolute disaster. Whoever was waiting in line probably got bum rushed. Complete disaster. Cops present. Probably about a thousand people now. Wow. And probably what's going to happen now is nobody's going to get a watch. What? Why is nobody going to watch? Yeah, I think what happened, I mean, I saw that Chicago decided not to open their store and apologize. They didn't want people overdosing in their lines. And then I would guess here in New York, the same thing happened. But nobody. Yeah, look, there you go. Nobody got watches. So clearly I'm wrong. It's clearly an appetite for pocket watches. And like Johnny said, little skeleton bracelets that you could put them in. We're crazy. The sneaker drop. Yeah. I mean, people are excited about watches. I think we're at the point, though, Swatch. Don't you think it's time to just release this release the stuff, you know, on the internet and just let everybody take a shot at it? No, they got lightning in a bottle. They're never going to. They're never going to let go. People are overdosing in line to buy these watches. Just wait until they release the Patek Nautilus collab. Well, look, I'm like, that was going somewhere with this. And it's self-serving. I apologize for that. But shortly the new Sheffield Blue Spikes Car Radio Watch is going for sale. And there it is. These are the very first pictures from Jay Turquoise at Sheffield. Can you notice the differences, gentlemen? The bezel now has less hash marks on it. It's more blue. It's like it's more blue. Yes, Johnny, the teeth on the bezel are smaller. I look at the second hand. So you're giving your fentanyl. Calm down, Johnny, calm down. I need morphine. OK, OK, I'll slow down. I'll slow down. The second hand has a smaller arrow. It used to have that big, giant arrow. I slimmed that out. The indices we slimmed out and also the hands. And we have the brand new watch. We sold thousands of these before. This is the new one. You can show the back. Go ahead. There it is right there. But it's a but it's a new and improved refined SCR blue. And it's going up for sale May 27th. I think it's quote me on that. Yes, May 27th. There you go. Now let's cancel it. Yes, I have a riot. So, yeah, riot over this, guys. That's right. Affordable quality, automatic Sheffield for you. For less than the Swatch AP. Less than the Swatch AP. True. Yeah, 120 bucks less. When the new Sheffield Sport comes out, I can't promise you that will be less than the AP. But, you know, it's kind of hard to make these plastic watches. You know, we had to start new and making all sorts of new parts and that gets expensive. But still get this one first. Here's the one. I like that blue. And of course, you guys get them for free. Well, everybody here gets a free Sheffield Sport SCR. Then our friend Cameron over there, he already sports one. Jack Ferresten is wearing one today. He's wearing the Solograph and also helped design the camp watches with me. So it's a family business. My watch is coming soon. Jenny sent me some rent. Oh, we did? Yeah. Pretty. Have you seen them? Not yet. I told you while I look. I say pretty wild. Johnny knows what he's talking about. Whatever you and Johnny cook up, I'm fine with. Yeah, I'm I'm it's you'll like it. That's exciting. I'm glad that's happening. It's a driver watch. Oh, really? 70s driver watch. So it's not the bronze. Now, that's coming later. It's getting bronze cases is just like very difficult. I'm happy about this change. It surprised me with it. OK, I don't want to see anything. When does the Delhi watch come? The pastrami watch? Yes, I know. You call me a pastrami journalist. Yes, I guess we have a beautiful car behind us. And I can hear the listeners right now going, why aren't you guys talking about that beautiful Guntherworks F26? Well, let's do that right now. And there it is, the Guntherworks F26. Why is it the F26? Well, for a couple reasons, they don't want to use what type of Porsche it is in the name for obvious reasons. And they're only making 26 of them for the low, low price of $1.6 million. Yeah, man, everybody. I talked to Peter Nomm yesterday. I didn't have a chance to drive this car yet. I'm going to drive it on Patreon. I know Johnny's driven it and I'm going to ask him about it in a second. But he just wanted to fill me in on a couple things. He wanted me to drive it in comfort mode first. And I said, do tell why? He goes, well, it's a 1,067 horsepower. And but it's also a car you can drive on the road. I said, well, that's my kind of car. Power to weight ratio is more than a Bugatti. And that weight is 2,750 pounds. So we've got over 1,000 horsepower and 2,750 pounds, which is wild. Now, because I haven't driven it, because it was delayed, because a journalist drove it hard, they had to clean it. And it really took them a long time to clean it. And I said, who is that journalist? And they said, one Johnny Lieberman. Yes, I'm going to let you take it from here and tell us what the driving experience of this car is like. And take us around the car to and tell us. Yeah, let's correct a couple of things here. So on pump gas, it makes only makes 880 horsepower. And if you put E 85 in it, then it makes a 1,067. You could put a cheap, oh, E 85. Sheep, oh, three bucks a gallon. Now, how is that? Why? That's just because E 85 is more power. You get it. You cut your fuel economy in half or or worse. OK, you got to have someone follow you around the gas can, which we did. Is that true? Is I didn't realize. I didn't get it. That's the trade off. You get more power, but you get no mileage at all. You get none. Is that this echo for your Chrysler main fan that takes the 85? Yes. Is that the corn gas we're talking about? Yes. Yeah. Yes. See, I thought it was filled with corn niblets. Things that clog up your engine. Well, if you actually, Jack, if you run around to the back and look at the 3D printed exhaust pipes, you will see that weirdly discolored. And the reason is because of E 85 puts out a strange corn. Yeah, corn, corn. I don't know, but they're kind of like that corn color. They're kind of Adobe colored. Oh, yeah. Corn. Oh, it is. Yeah. Corn gas. Yeah. So you feel and I know we want to talk about the corn gas is good. Like how would I use corn gas? You would get more power. It gives you a lot more power. Seven, 18 spider RS. Well, it's not because of software in it that says, ah, that's E 85. Like the Dodge Demon, the dragster, for instance, I was talking to Leno about this. Not only is designed to make more power in E 85, but this car, what you want to do is like a blend of pump gas and E 85. If it was a period five, you'll have 50 miles of range. It just is gone. But on the Demon, when you get to more than 50, 50, it puts a light on that tells you like, oh, you're running mostly ethanol now. I see. Yeah. So it's cool. Very. I did. We learned something from Leibman. Learn something from Leibman. What are the chances? There's another channel for you. Learn something from Lieberman. Go ahead. Continue. Obviously, we have a slant nose here. Yeah. Wow. I've been calling it the profanity generator, because all you do is swear in this car. I I happened. I just so happened I drove. I drove seven other cars with a thousand horsepower the week I drove this. Really? They're all dull. They're all just boring compared to this car. This is yeah. 1,067 horsepower, six speed manual transmission, rear drive. The only kind of traction control it has is it just does ignition cut. So it doesn't really like do brakes or anything like that. All you do is swear. You just like like like Pat Long did the I don't know if you're supposed to say this, but Pat Long did the development sign off on this. He helps come through works develop their cars. And Peter was telling me is like, yeah, you know, Pat really, really liked it. We liked it more than the turbo, which was my favorite car. Yeah, that was a fun car. And I just wrote Pat all caps. Holy fuck balls. I know. And it's it's just a mental patient on wheels. Great license plate to Fajo means ugly in Spanish. So where did you drive it? Angeles Crest. Angeles Crest death highway. And it was death. But here's the thing, too. So it's a 993. It's all gun through works are based on 993s, right? And as some of you may know, the the speedometer is blocked. I should say the right half of the speedometer is blocked by the steering wheel. So once you get over 80 miles an hour, you really don't know exactly where you're at, how fast you're going. But at one point I was really on it and I kind of saw where the needle was. And I stopped and I looked one 60. That's one 60. OK, Mr. Wagner, please. Please. No admission. I know. No, no. It's a sexual imitation. OK. Wow. But yeah. So. Yeah, it is. Is it quickness or top speed that we're dealing or just endless acceleration? And also the noise it makes. But that's what I'm asking. Yeah, yeah. The question like zero to 60. Did you even test something like that? No, I didn't. Like it's probably under three seconds, but it's just it's it's the violence. It's it's the it's the knife at your throat. It's the gun at your temple. Like both cars, even even like like like the Zinger, right? That's yeah, yeah. You can jump in that and three or four corners. You kind of know how it handles and like you're just on it. And if you know, it took me like an hour to kind of like get the the testicular fortitude going to like really push on this thing. I was you're just so scared because it's also it's so loud. It's so insanely loud. And then it also has this really wonderful front end. It's it's a they call it double wishbone. This guy, Kerry Elkwood Elkhart, he developed it. So it's like, you know, how the the new nine and two GT threes of double wishbone, they put double wishbone on this. Here's the here's the best thing to say about it. Peter also brought along a GT four RS. You know, the GT four RS, right? You'd say that's a thrilling, exciting car. Right. And they put the same double wishbone suspension on the GT four RS for this new project he's working on. And after I drove this, Peter said, drive the GT four. Oh, wow. And I'm in third gear, right? And I'm at 97 miles an hour. So that's like, you know, 8000 RPM. And all I'm thinking about is how fucking boring the GT four RS is because I just climbed that like, like dull. Like I'm like, this is just for kids. I've never experienced as visceral. It's beyond, you know, people say, oh, peak analog, it's beyond that. You're in the realm of like typhoons and really tsunamis. So dumb question. Yeah, what you just said. Yeah, could you drive it around town? I mean, sure. No, but if you will, that's Peter's point. I love Peter. The idea you're going to take your wife anywhere in this. I think the difference between you and I, he goes, have you driven it yet? And I said, no, Johnny, got it dirty. He goes, well, he goes, what I, you know, what I want you to do is start it in comfort mode and then work up to what's one of the three modes in it. I haven't even looked at comfort. So what it is is I don't know how much power it's less track. So there's two knobs, right? There's there's on the steering wheel, there's comfort sport track. And that's less than 880 horsepower. Right. 880 horsepower, 1067 horsepower. Yeah. Divorce from that is the suspension. So there's comfort sport track. It's on the dash next to the lights. They're not there. Just he keeps you keep the power separate from the suspension. He did that to me. He's like driving in comfort comfort. Yeah, like it's still fucking insane. Yeah. And I actually think I actually like the way the suspension rides better in track than I do in the others. It's because it's just less. There's there's more movement in the others. It's pretty firm, but I like a firm ride. So what I'll be doing this weekend after today is dailying this for whatever that's worth. So there you go. There's the interior. So I'll be taking it. I'll probably take it out to Malibu today. Yeah, I will be staying on one side of the double yellow lines, but I'll show you taking a little cruise. I'll be taking it maybe out to dinner tonight with Erica Ferris-den. Surprise her. She won't know what it is. You won't. She'll get out of the car so loud. You think she will? Once she's strapped in, it's hard to get out if I start moving. Do you know how people complain about the GT4RS Cayman? One of the things I say is how loud it is inside. Yeah. Yeah. I was like in a baby's nursery after getting out. But I think I want that reaction. It's not like we're going on a road trip. We're just driving into town and then I'm going to take it to tennis. I'm going to. And you know, the only thing I the only problems I anticipate are the big divots in the the potholes. So I was going to say the only thing you need to know about Guntherworks and I wish they'd change is that black button on the left side of the steering wheel. Yeah. That's the nose lift. Works great. However, it goes down. When you turn the car off, it drops. Yeah. And I just it's you just got to be aware. You forget. You just got to be aware. Yeah. But one you won't forget the second time. You will not forget the second time. I know they have a nice wood stick shift. Oh, they a little knob. Yeah. Yeah. They're like the old 917s. Yeah. And that's a very good phone holder in front of it. They designed like a high speed phone holder. He works very hard on those. And I will say I love this interior color combos great. Yeah. Yeah. Black. I'm impressed with the interior and the build quality and just the sound of the opening the door which peek 993 sound. Yeah. Yeah. And it's all you know, it's all carbons. So if you don't know Guntherworks, they take a 993, they strip it down to the bare metal. They reinforce the metal with carbon fiber. So it's much stiffer. All carbon fiber body panels. Yeah. And then it's just every look at the top of the dash. It's carbon fiber. It looks like a 993. But instead of being shitty, sudden, you know, death plastic, it's carbon. So you're either maybe getting the singer. What's their new turbo called? The DLS? No. Well, no, they have a turbo. Turbo study or something. The DLS is the old Williams one. But I mean, what how are you making a choice between these two cars? Like a singer or a Guntherworks? A singer would ever let me drive a car. I would tell you, I have no idea. So yeah, this is I think you were supposed to be they call it. They they also called and said they were going to bring a car on the show. And I haven't heard from them. We were looking for dates. But who's the guy who runs the place? Rob Dickinson. Rob Dickinson. Yeah, he was going to come on with a car. Rob's great. We love Rob. Yeah, he's great. Yeah, it'd be cool. I think it's high time they get their butts over here. But yeah, I know my my this is this is just one of those superlative. I really wish you had driven it before today because like it's such a wild machine. It's so out there. It's so well, I'm going to drive it live on Patreon. So there you go. In some on some of the nice is Zuckerman Street. Zuckerman. Some of it takes Zuckerman. We have we have such a crowded morning here. I was supposed to be here like an hour before I was because every all the exits are closed on the four oh five. So Zuckerman, I was like, you know, I could see the traffic coming up. I was like, I think I'll get off on Santa Monica. And I'm like, yeah, it looks doesn't look so bad. And then they had the 10 exit. They had they had this exit closed and I ended up driving almost to San Diego to have to do a U turn because when they close all the exits, you know what happens in the next three traffic jams at those. And then I'm just calling the guys like, geez, I don't know when I'm going to be able to turn around, but that's the neighborhood we'll be driving in with this car. You know how he said he has taken Uber. Just make this is Uber taking where he needs to go. That's not a bad idea. Rufus is going to hate this. She can't do it. Rufus is the end of the way. Yeah, yeah. Rufus when we upset Rufus, she can't take the noise. She hates loud cars. Terrifies her. Let's talk about race deck. Guess what? Race deck fans. Race deck is going to be putting a new garage floor in my garage. We've been we just redid the door. And I think I spoke about how I go out at night and open and close the new quiet, heavy 1950s door that has the new springs. So we're now looking at the floor. And I got a nice message from race deck and I'm going to be on their site this weekend.

That's the phrase I've heard you use many times. He has used that. I said my poll or my bat? You slapped it with my poll. Have you showed it? Did you show your poll? Did you take out your bat? I can hear the comments right now. What? These guys. Stupid. Juvenile. If we're not part of the Manisfier podcast, what I think it's the the Dadisfier podcast, the Uncle's fear jokes. The Grand Sofier. I think we're just out of it. Anyway, yeah. No, none of us were invited to the Velo Deste car show, which is my favorite car show in the world. But they don't like us there because of who we are. We're we were not born into money. None of us. No, I went once and they literally said, what are you doing here? And I didn't understand it until. But I but I still had a good time hanging out with the butlers and the janitors. I feel like a complete fraud. And the photographers. But it's an amazing show with amazing background. You know, you think Luftgekalt makes cars look good. The Velo Deste show is incredible. They debuted. We'll just show one of their cars, this BMW Alpina. But you can hear the car for a second start up. Listen to this. Oh, that's a good sound. All right, that's all I wanted to play for you guys. Johnny, what is what is this car? What are we looking at? So so in 2022, BMW purchased Alpina. Alpina was an independent company that worked very closely with BMW with a purchase amount, right? Because BMW has a problem and that is the most you can spend on a BMW if you get like an I7 with every single option is about 200 grand. And then a Rolls Royce Go starts at about three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. So from two hundred to three fifty, BMW has no product to offer the rapidly expanding ultra wealthy class. I see. So my buck is there. Bentley is there. BMW said, hey, what about us? In other words, Mercedes and Volkswagen group, they get a piece of it. They even Cadillac put out the Celestic, which is three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. So are going to 300, whatever was. So this is this is what they're going to do with Alpina. So all Alpinas are going to fall. They're going to they're going to make them fit in with Bentley's and with my box. I see. I mean, you're a BMW guy. Do you like what you're seeing? I do. I it it it BMW can still make a good looking car. OK, this is a step in the right direction. I look at this and I go, this is attractive. This is modern. It is not so industrial or transformer like. Um, it's not ugly. I like that it's not electric. I'll tell you that. I mean, to me, this looks like a blueprint for what Jaguar should have done. I don't know if you agree with my assessment, leave him and I sorry I caught you. Yeah, no, no, no. I was just his last name is Mazzoni, the designer for his first name. But you guys know what I mean? I mean, you know, Jaguar is reinventing itself. Here comes Alpina. They could have come out with this as a giant electric thing and it makes a throaty kind of dangerous. It has exhaust note and it makes me like it. Right. Yeah, look, you know, and don't you agree? Like if Jaguar had just done this, if they had just gone, here's our thing that sounds like this, they might have been OK. Yeah, I mean, look, we still haven't even seen the Jaguar. So I would leave that one alone. I've seen it, but I'm not going to leave it alone. But it stops seeing it. By the way, I want to stop seeing it. It's all over my Instagram. I'm not stopped. I think it looks really good. That was yeah. So Max Mazzoni. There's Max, very nice guy, very nice guy. So here's Alpina, though. He's so nice. He tells us about nice match. Nobody did. This is how nice he is. Let me give you an example. No, go ahead, Johnny. I'm just joking. Unlike Alpina's. He is a very handsome man. Unlike Alpina's of your, which were kind of like sticker kits with fancy wheels, they're going to change body panels. That's why they've appointed this guy Max Mazzoni, who's from the Volkswagen Group. Actually, he was a Volvo to the really good looking Volvos. Work for Peter. Yep. And together. So all of these are going to have different body panels. So you're actually that's helping to justify the price. It's not just because this V8, there's lots of BMWs that have that V8 right now, but it's this body that body has a presence. Oh, yeah, I think it's really cool. I got the sharp nose. It's got the angry eyes. They did a good job with the twin kidneys on this. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's it's cool. That's that spot at the Villedesco. The rear looks good. But there's this spot that they're in that that hotel is remarkable. That that sculpture behind that kind of wall is unbelievable. The front end is a little funny. If you remember, Pontiac had that kind of pushed out front end in 1970 on the SJs, the Pontiac SJs. Damage point. It's just like I like it. But if you look at like your your six or your six right there, it's that sharp nose. Correct, you know, and that's I'm not crazy about the all white interior there. But that show cars got to have all white interior. They love it. Designers love an all white. It just you can see it black interior. The camera just hides it. You know, white pops. That's all it is. But I drive it. I'm excited about this. It's this actually I thought was a nice foot foot in the door. A nice start. It's a little fat. Again, it's like, you know, Johnny, this is this is not for us, but it's for a certain type of person we know in our neighborhoods who's who wants to drive something a little different. Yeah. So if you shrink the wheels an inch and you get real mirrors on it and I if they're going to do that for the for the sill, that's that's pretty wild. But it's basically what I what I've been told. The production one is going to be very similar to this. Little less gold trim and stuff. OK. We have an Alpina coming any day when you say we we you we. What are you now? Now, Peter. Yeah. What? It's in the port of Los Angeles. Which one? Yeah. Can we see a picture of it? What what is it? It is an Alpina B10. It is an Alpina B10. Holds. He talks about himself as we. That's fine. I like it. We have an Alpina B10. Cameron, shall I text you a picture of this particular car? You can't just pull it up. I don't know where would be if you went to Mint Classics. Perhaps you would see it in Mint Classics. OK. There. That is it. That is you bought a purple car. That's the. Oh, yeah. That is the. Wow. Ro. That's wild. It sounds like fair for a second, bro. That is wild. Yeah. That's cool. So. So is there a shot that shows the whole car? There is. Oh, wow. It's a twin turbo straight six manual. Correct. Oh, fuck. Now, have you ever owned a purple car? No, I have not. About time. Do you think you have a temperament for it? Yes, I do. Have you ever owned CP of Brown? I have. You have. And how long did that last? You know, the CP of Brown was a great color. I did not like how the car drove. I see. I that's about. It's going to be about how this car drives. Have you driven one? No, I haven't. Oh, my God. This is exciting. I mean, this is a good choice. I'm so thrilled for this. And it's going to go right next to the 20th year car, which is in Mugello Red right behind us. So we will have these two stablemates, two very same but different cars. You know, I think, you know, we've had an undercurrent of pushback from the Porsche community saying Zuckerman is now a BMW guy. So it's done. More than a Porsche guy. OK, I just want to say, I kind of agree with them. I mean, if you just look around here, but at this point, you own more BMWs than you do Porsche. That's not true. And I would also say, OK, how dare you? That's not true. And I think it is. What are you insinuating? It's just not true. And I'm going to tell you something. Is it really not? What's the number then? I don't know what I don't see. What's the ratio? I'd say 50-50. 50-50. OK. But you don't know what you're talking about, Lee Boobin. I'm counting. He's saying 50-50. That sounds right. But but but shit. The last now I purchased this car quite some time ago. Since I purchased this car. Yeah. What have I purchased? Two Porsches and a Clown Chew. No, the last two cars purchased. Well, I didn't mean to set you off and get you to. No, I'm just saying you do own a lot of BMWs. Yes, that's true. Can I make a point out of these more on Porsche guys? Like the equivalent of this for a Porsche is probably a roof. Roofs are selling for like millions, millions of dollars for like millions, millions. How fucking is that? You know what? It's all right. Hold on. We don't want to get into the game. I'm going to have a round of your ass. Gentlemen, gentlemen, please. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself. Have you seen my pole? Anyway, that's exciting. I'm so stoked. Are you going to? It's in the port of LA. That's fun. And it's going to be here soon. Any day. We'll talk about it on the show. Tell me again. You can give me the comparison. How smart I am. I was just saying, oh, no, for like what I'm assuming is like low six figures. You get this where to get the Porsche equivalent, which would be a roof, would be like three or four million dollars. Yeah. Yeah. You know, so it's like this is a great buy because, you know, it's going to be just as much fun to drive as a roof. Relatively speaking, it's a two door versus a four door. I know that. But I just happen to be. These are awesome. I happen to be chatting with someone who is rolling around the idea of buying a purple emesis, whatever color this is car. And it's not for everyone. It is tricky. It is not your one and only car. You know, I know this, if this was your daily driver, I think this, but my point where I was going was we're going to get to explore it. We're going to get to see. I know I'm going to be very popular driving this car. You're popular with me. Can I buy you a pimp hat? Yeah, please. Whatever. Can I get you the Technicolor Dreamcoat and a pimp hat? This is this is good. This is good. It's cool. Look, I'm not making fun. I think it's really fucking cool. I think it's great. One. We're okay. One negative thing about the new Alpina, I will say. Yeah. So if you can find Cam, a picture of the wheel, because it's a classic thing about Alpinas are the 21 spoke wheels. The center cap is a beautiful Alpina logo. It's great. Blue and red. Right. And they gray scaled it. They fucking gray scaled the logo for the new for the new launch of Alpina. But you see the logo with the shifter there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's gray scale now. That's cool. I think it's a big mess. Are those white wheels? No, no, no. There's silver wheels. And the way they did it was what's so cool. No, no, no. Are these white? No, that's not white. That's not white. Is the logo on the side, the Alpina white? The logo in the center of the wheel is white. No, I'm talking about on the decal. Yeah, that's why yeah, decal. That's why. Yeah. So what I'm looking at is steel that they just want. Yeah. And what's so cool as an Alpinas is that's that's where you inflate the tires. You have a tool that pulls off the center cap and that's where the inflation is. And then it's sealed. Yeah. So cool. This is the greatest wheels in the world. We're going to do an episode of what's Johnny driving. OK, it will take out the two E34. Oh, so we'll take out the 20th year. Done. 3.8 E34s. Never gonna happen again. This will happen and this is a 3.5. Never gonna happen. He barely comes to the show anymore. It'll happen. I'll just say. Me or him? I'm gonna fuck him for it. You. Oh! You cut me out. I never cut you out. You're busy and you're very successful. That's all. That's all I'm saying. I'm busy and very unsuccessful. But yeah, but if you're going to say that on the show, you got to do this. I gave my word on. You got to do an episode. I gave my word. Is it man of his word? I'm man of my word. Let's talk about McGuire's. McGuire's our friends for 125 years. Yes. They've pursued perfection in the surface care space. You know, they sent me a giant bucket of their stuff. And as Jack Ferris didn't will attest, who refused to come out of his bedroom to wash his car, his brother James and I, James has his new car. He got really excited about washing his car. That will go away after this. But the first time like Jack did, he got excited about it. James Jack and James and I washed his mom's car, his car and Jack's car together with the McGuire stuff. Jesus. It was fantastic. Wow. We had everything we needed in this. You know, they sent me a bunch of this stuff, including the bucket, including the squeegee rag, which works like on the roof of the Tesla, like pulling it across. It's really great stuff, you know, and I'm not just talking this stuff. I'm using it and I'm loving it. So you need to check it out. And new for 2026, they have quick solution kits. I guess that's what I have. Four kits available, all weather floor mat, carpet and cloth, heavy duty, headlight, restoration, leather care, quick solution kits. Take the guesswork out of what products to buy and include specialized drill attached brush to increase cleaning power and decrease time spent because every car was different. Jack Ferris didn't as an adventurer. So his car has, you know, mammoth drives and mountain and ice and snow. So that required a different mat care. Exactly right. James is going off and writing underground hip hop or something. So this was easy. My wife, I don't know what she's doing in her car, but a CVD. Yeah, it looks like she threw it. She crossed the mustard and crashed into a canyon in it. But I had everything I needed there. Anyway, check it out. If you want McGuire's, they're available now, all of their products through Amazon, advanced auto parts and at McGuire's.com. And we thank you, McGuire's for sponsoring Spikes Car Radio, terrific sponsor. Also our friends at Pocket Hosts. Guess what? Oh, we should have put Blue Jew and Pocket Hosts together. Next time. Oh, I blew it. Next time. I blew it. Mr. Pocket Hosts. There he is. Your corner mix. So look at him. Look how happy. My name is Richard Kair. And in my emoji, my hair color is what I want it to be. But in real life, I am gray bearded. You can't do both side by side. You can't even have squirreling colored. He looks like a happy guy. I need sorry. I need some of these. These are good. You didn't get your pocket hoses. No, I know. I'm excited to tell you about the world's number one expanding garden hose and their brand new product, the Pocket Hose Ballistic. I used to have to buy a new hose every year due to cakes. By the way, it was every four months due to cakes, tangles and explosions. But now that I have the Pocket Hose Ballistic, I've got the hose I've been looking for my entire life. It's the toughest pocket hose ever built, reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer used in bulletproof vests. That's what I need. You do need that. One water pressure is insane. I go through hoses. Right. And when you, you know, when you stop and you do something, you let go of the handle, that's where it can explode. Not the pocket holes. Super lightweight, easy to manage, easy to store. Turn the water off and it grows. Turn the water off and it shrinks back to pocket size. I guess turn the water on and it grows. That's right. The Pocket Hose Ballistic is reinforced with liquid crystal polymer used in bulletproof vests, making the anti-burst sleeve practically bulletproof. That's what I'm noticing. There you go. And that liquid crystal polymer fiber is actually five times stronger than steel. I've shot mine. I took my Glock 19 out and I shot my hose, would not go through. It's awesome. Now for a limited time, when you purchase a new Pocket Hose Ballistic, you'll get a free 360 degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle. Just text spike to 64,000. That's spike to 64,000 for your two free gifts. We purchase text spike to 64,000 and message and data rates may apply. I'm going to try that. That's cool. Think rubber gaskets. Yeah. I got four hoses in my house and I'm just constantly like getting new hoses. It's crazy. See if they have under shop hoses. Just see how long they have. Do they have 15, 100 feet? Oh, look at that. Yeah. Ooh, 100 footer. That's for any. Yeah. All right. And thank you, Richard Cairne, for approving this. I need 425s. Shouldn't they have my picture up here? Spike first and approved? Yes. Yes, they should. My goal is to get my face on all of my sponsor websites. On Bluetooth. I think just on the back. Turnleman should be on every website. It should be on Bluetooth. It should be on the pill. It should be on it. Yeah, mine. I think Zuckerman. That's a great idea. Finally. Yeah. Finally, write it in the book. You know, when they end the drug bust, the ecstasy always has the different cartel. They should have an SCR blue chair. Yeah, yeah. Instead of, yeah. That's a fantastic idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. Don't you want Zuckerman's face as you're tearing open the packet? If they offered SCR, I would say, look, put Zuckerman's face on it. That would be better. I would not. I would want it to be. The Zuckerman profile. The angry face. The angry face. Yes. You're about to open your Bluetooth. That would be great. Put my face in that pill. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, last week, as you know, we were chatting about the controversy in the canyons. Mustard. Don't cross the mustard. And, you know, I thought, well, this would be great. Why don't I become some sort of peacekeeper? This is what I was thinking. I could be a peacekeeper. I could bring these guys together. But before any of that even happened, one of the principals reached out to me over Instagram or reached out to the show and threw up this message right here, our friend court. Why don't you guys have me on to discuss? I was so excited when I read this as you're just fueling the fire for views. What? I don't know what that means. Making all of this worse for both parties. Now, you know, I've been chatting with Evan, too. He's he couldn't be happier. He's making T-shirts. Yeah. Don't cross the mustard. I hooked him up with BlipShift. It's really exciting. So I'm not sure what he says about that. You're, I think he means you are, helping ruin our canyons, which I know doesn't affect you guys as you don't drive up there. Really? I think I've actually driven near court up there before and met at bills. But OK, he forgets. But hundreds of us do. So please don't ruin car culture here in Southern California. That is a lot of power to you. Faris, you can see while I was very excited to have this guy. Yeah. I have been driving Mulholland in the canyons. And here it is. The 45 years again. Zero incidents. I would say I would say court. You've been breaking the law for 45 years. But OK, needless to say, not in a reckless manner. OK. Well, or the results would be different. I mean, you have the do you have the video of him driving? So here he is. That's court in the first car flipping off the canyon carver. And then we haven't even identified who these other guys are in this little driving club that likes to break the rules. And what's going OK, enough of that. Anyway, I was really excited about him coming on because I thought, well, this this will be good. Yeah, we can give him that chance. You said, you know, I think you very wisely stated last episode. Don't shoot the messenger. You know, you got caught doing something wrong. You know, why don't you just come on the show and just own it? Well, he's not coming on. He said, give me he we send him a message back that he should call. He wouldn't call. I messaged him personally and texted him. He was very difficult to get in touch with. But he said, if you call me, I'll come on the show last night. Friday night, I called him. He didn't pick up. He then called back twice and it was. The weird garbled calls. And I was like, court, if this is you, just call me back. I can't hear you. And then this morning he texted me and he said, I'm not coming on. He he canceled. Did he give a reason? He did. It goes. It's very wordy. It's very long. And by the way, none of it says. Yeah, I made a mistake up there. Let's pass on the zoom. I'm having a ton of fun with all the Instagram craziness. It sounds like a lot of fun when you're turning your comments off. You're having so much fun. People can't comment anymore. But okay. He said, look, I really want to pull. I really want to pull energy away from people's focus on the canyons. Don't need to give the officials any more reasons than they already have to dampen the automotive enthusiasm we all live for. Maybe we can all do a segment later on down the road. And to which I replied, you know, okay, not a problem. But my take is it would be probably be a good idea to come on your mistakes and maybe say you're sorry and, you know, save face in the community. Right. Well, very reasonable. We make we all make mistakes. I shouldn't have done that and did that. He got a little heated here. He said, Spike, what are we doing here? I have been driving canyons for 45 years without incident. 45 years. Nobody all caps has had an issue with this. That we know of. Well, really nobody. Wasn't there just a viral set of videos that everyone from doughnut media to us and everybody in between covered about reckless driving in the canyons? I literally didn't exist until Evan hidden the bushes and created this out of thin air. He created this out of thin air. Right. Well, did he? I mean, who appointed Evan the hall monitor? Is my role okay? But who was doing what? He's not a cop. He's not a cop. He's not. He's not. But who was doing it? But it became a thing. Yeah. And as Zuckerman pointed out, why shoot the messenger if you're break? I mean, I'm not a cop, but if someone robs a bank and I happen to film them there. There's a bit of narking. I don't like it. But anyway. Okay. Wow. So you're saying Evan's the canyon carves a rat. I'm just saying he's not a cop. Quiet. Okay. He's like a vigilante. But Johnny. Go ahead, Zuckerman. The rat is saying he's saying Evan's the rat imputes that he caught somebody doing something wrong and then put it out there. So, okay. You want to characterize Evan as a rat? That's because he is exposing conduct that is perhaps implying. I never said rat, but I'm just saying. I don't like self-appointed hall monitors. Court goes on. He exploited something that nobody ever knew about. Well, that's, Zuckerman, you come across that. I'm sure before, right? Nobody ever knew. Nobody ever knew. Nobody. Until we set up a camera in the girl's bedroom. Yes. And Uncle Leo came in. No one ever knew until the self-appointed parents filmed the molestation. Wow. Yes. So that's a more minor inscrime. Okay. He's making a point. I thought he was making a point. He's saying bank robbery, child molestation. He said, I'm not putting other people's lives in danger and have never crossed the yellow in a blind corner ever. Ever. Ever. Well, you guess we just have to take your word for it. Him taking this edit completely out of context. I don't know. And representing it as reckless is slanderous and feliciously defames my brand. Felicious. My brand? Felaciously. What brand? Felatio. Yes. Heratio. Lower Felatio. He says, he says two things here. He says, no one knew who I was and I have a brand. Yes. I don't know. I could issue a cease and desist in 30 seconds. Seize. Desist. That was actually two seconds. That's two seconds. IMO. What does that mean? In my opinion. In my opinion, he is just a kid needing a, again, he goes on to disparage the person instead of addressing the concerns that we're all looking at, which is when you cross the mustard, people can die no matter where that the, and I wrote him back. I said, look, you know, I hope this is going on too long, but I only meant that we all know it's illegal to cross double yellow lines and your driving gives the appearance of impropriety, if not outright, illegality. I think communicating that to a wider audience would help you and your brand. And it would help you out rather than taking a defensive posture that points to your 45-year driving record of racing on public roads. That was good. Fair. I'm going to give you major. Major Z points for that one. And I said, because I, you know, I don't, I don't really want to demonize this guy, but I said, let me give you this opportunity. If you want to share a note with my audience, I'll read it verbatim at the show verbatim. Sorry. At 11 a.m. today. Verbatim. Please use a verbatim. Bobadim. Bobadim. Bobadim verbatim verbatim. But I said, say whatever you're like. I have zero interest in trying to defend myself against a bad edit is what he said. Oh, okay. So, so ingram. Ingram, he's coming after you. I don't know. I guess the implication is that we would edit this to make him look bad, which I feel he's doing just a fine job on his own. Right. You don't need an edit. You can just read the words. Being dishonest, thus being dishonest to myself and my brand, you know, haters will always hate. And people will actually drive will laugh this off. All right. Again, if a man is in the forest alone and speaks, is he still wrong? What? What? I don't know. That's a mix philosophy. Philosophy 801. Thanks again, Spike. And again, the more you guys for likes want to keep this going. I don't know if he's looked at our comment section on YouTube or our like count. Do they even do likes on YouTube? But he thinks we're doing this for likes. So. Okay. The worst the canyons become. Okay. So now he now I believe, sorry, Johnny, but I believe in the same way that when Donald Trump will talk about the country, he's talking about himself, the country. Right. Right. I think court believes he's the canyons. In other words, like he'll get busted by a cop for crossing the double yellow. Everyone else who does it. And I have talked to the the LAPD about it because we have. I spoke to the same guy yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. And the same the same thing. Yeah. I mean, he just his opinion was my opinion. They're both freaking maniacs. So they somehow found each other. There is. But the magnetic. Yes. The the my point was a little larger, which is, hey, there's a lot of people watching this stuff. Why are you promoting driving recklessly in the canyon? Sure. And to anybody who's gone to race school knows on that very first day, they say to you, don't drive like this on city streets, right? On town, wherever, canyons or otherwise. Right. Right. And that's the thing, right? That's the difference between a street car, what you do with a car on the street versus a track is just stay in your lane. Just why just stay in your lane. This is last year. Here's someone crossing the mustard. This is Malibu. I was asked not to say exactly where, but it's up off Mulholland and crossing the mustard. Jesus. So that's a blind corner. To the point. To the point. To the point. To the point. To the point. To the point. Blind corner. Oh my God. I mean, look, I had my friend. And then I said this to Zuckerman and he said, that was my case. This is someone I represented. And this person not only crossed the mustard, hit that car, but the car behind it. There were two other cars behind the camera. Look at the cars. This is, I believe it's a port. No, I don't know. It's hard to see. It looks like a Porsche. Yeah. But even even going a little over the yellow line. I mean, I grew up in Thousand Oaks. And when I was in fifth grade, my friend Amy, both her parents were killed. They were on, they were on Decker, uh, around their motorcycles. And a Corvette was on the wrong side of the road and killed them both. It was crazy. You know. And the one thing I'm going to point out, let's give court his due. Let's say court, you don't do this in blind corners. You do this perfectly. You, we're going to give you your expertise that you record yourself, but you have people following you. And you don't know his brand. Yeah. And you don't know how, you know, you have three, four, five people trailing behind you. So what might be okay for you? Can you guarantee it's okay for the fifth guy behind you? Right. You know, that's decades of the four and a half decades have, have circumstances changed between what you saw with your eyes, where you were, and the guy in the last car who doesn't have your 45 years of experience. It's, it's not great. It's just not a good look. That's what I was trying to say to him. I was trying to help him along. He had to go, if you just, you know, put yourself in our hands, you'll be fine. None of us here have not done things and gotten tickets and traffic and freight to the rest of it. We don't defend them generally. When I got a speeding ticket on Wilshire Boulevard, because I was racing with a guy, I didn't go, oh, look, the person who filmed this is, I went, yeah, I screwed up. I was in the GT2 RS. I saw an opening. I wanted to have a little fun and I made a mistake and I'm trying not to do that, especially now that we do this show. I don't want to be the guy who's up creating trouble on public roads, because it's just going to inspire other idiots to do it. I got to take it, leaving here. Was it last, last week or the week before you? Wow. Yep. And what? Speeding. Oh, you did. On Olympic. There you go. How fast? I think around 50, he put me down for 59 or something like that. That's good. You would own it. You made a mistake, right? You were going like that. I just admitted it. You just admitted it. There you go. That's the easy way out. That's all we were saying to you, my man. Anyway, go to the Palisades Motor Classic on June 13th, because you'll see Court, Spike first, and then the Canyon Carver all together. And I guarantee you there's going to be fist to cuffs for likes and views. As we beat on the canyons. And for charity. And for charity. And for charity. We'll pummel each other for charity. Anyway, that's our show, gentlemen. If you're a Patreon subscriber, you're going to watch me kill myself in 2000 horsepower car in the middle of traffic. And we're going to do Odo's Wacky Waymos in our cool down lap. Is that what they call it? I got it right. We'll see you next week. Spike's Car Radio. What a god dang. Boy, that was 10% of the throttle.
