Red Bull Built a $6 Million Hypercar?!

Martha listens to her favorite band all the time. In the car, Jim, even sleeping. So when they finally went on tour, Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live. She saved so much, she got a seat close enough to actually see and hear them. Sordov, you were made to scream from the front row. We were made to quietly save you more. Expedia, made to travel. Savings vary and subject to availability, flight-inclusive packages are at all protected. Cyber risk is evolving fast. What matters is how you respond. Hear from a cyber investigator with over 20 years experience working with the UK's leading chief technology officers on what to do when the screens go black. Inside Tech Minds by AG. Available now. Tap to listen. Welcome to the show. Here we are, it's fake, a radio yet again. Johnny Lieberman. People are always like, why is Johnny on the show? Let me tell you why Johnny is on the show. That's a great way to start it. I'd like to know why I'm on the show as well. Aside from his automotive knowledge, you did great piece last week on the Lamborghini Diablo. Wonderful piece, as a matter of fact. And what is that magazine, Road Rat? Road Rat, the Road Rat. Johnny, buy it. Johnny shows up for you guys. Johnny shows up. Yeah, he shows up. Injured. Look who's missing. Spin the chair. The empty chair. Spin the Zuckerman chair. Yeah, he's a little busy. He's had a rough week. He apologizes. But here we are yet again, do another show and we're happy to be with you. We got a lot of cars to talk about this week. I'm driving a Chevy EQ RS, an EV. Equinox. Yeah, I asked for the car because my son wanted to drive it. He said one of his friends has one. He's getting his driver's license. I said, I didn't even know it existed. There it is behind us. You can see it right there. We throw it up and I'm surprised by how much I like it. Yeah, it's really good. We should talk about, let's just open the show with it. I mean, here we have a Chevrolet EV that's priced at $35,000. Right. I think all in this guy is 42. I saw on the sticker. And the RS is the sporty one. RS is the sporty one. They asked me which one I wanted. And I said, give me the sporty one. Of course. I like them sporty. Yeah. And I've not gotten out of the car. I really can't believe how nice this car is. And you remember the way these cars, the Chevy Bolt, right? One of the first EVs. That was really good. Really nice car. It was a good car. Yeah, a little dorky, but it was a good car. Dorky, Leno had one, had a little gas engine in it too, right? That was the Volt. The Volt. The Volt was a plug-in hybrid. That's the car. That was a good car too. Also looked good. Right. Right. So the Bolt and the Bolt, when were they around originally? So the Volt was our car of the year for 2011. So it came out in 2010. There you go. And the Bolt followed in like 14 or 15. As I'm driving this car, I'm just thinking, how did Chevy get all of this so right? You know, and it's because in 2011, they were already working on this stuff, you're saying. And it's really noticeable. I mean, the first thing you do when you look at this SUV or this mid-sized SUV is you think, what kind of car is this? So I've been asked all week, what are you driving? Oh, that looks really nice. And I go, it's a Chevrolet. And people are like, what? Yeah. Yeah, GM design is good right now. It's got 315 miles to the charge. And I would call them authentic miles to the charge, unlike the fake Tesla miles. But the big surprise is how well it works. Right? Look, 20 driver and safety assistant features, but bumper buzzers that kind of, you know, when you're about to get an accident or something's not going to ride, it shocks you in the ass. And it really debuted in Cadillacs like eight years ago and it's trickled down to the rest of the product. Yeah. But if you're thinking about a car for your kid, you're like, wow, you're right. It's got an HD surround vision system that is really beautiful, like really clear camera footage, you know, whether you're backing up, moving forward or just want to know what's around you. And a beautiful audio system too. So, you know, I've taken this out to dinner. I've taken it to meetings. I've taken it to tennis. I really, I took it today. I just, and I have my 718 in the garage. And I was like, you know, the weather's been cold or it's been rainy. And this thing has been really overperforming for what it is. You drove it. Yeah. I mean, look, to steal a line from from Farah, like the best thing you can do to a cheap car is electrify it because they make a gas equinox, which I've also driven. Yeah. It's garbage. It's just, it's not a car. You, you would be having the opposite thought. No, I know, I know. I got stuck with this car. So what you do is you're removing like the 1.6 liter turbo four and the miserable transmission, the cheapest transmission they could make to having the same electric motors that are in the Cadillac optic, the same batteries in the Cadillac optic, the same. Infotainment system in cameras that are in the Cadillac optic and they just have a lower price point. And, you know, the leather isn't as nice, you know, or it's cloth or whatever. But yeah, it's a hell of a car. Some little things that I love about it. Hopefully it opens. There it goes. No start button. Yep. It starts and goes just like a Tesla does. You hop in it, it knows you want to drive. Lovely. There's no car playing it, but I didn't miss it. The wireless charging is in that center console there and it leans forward and it charges your phone. It actually works, which is nice. Here's my only tiny issue with it. This version that I have is front wheel drive. They also have all wheel drive and in front wheel drive electrics. And I think you know this, but I didn't know this. The driving qualities of a front wheel drive gas powered car are heightened in an electric car in that you've got so much torque and quickness. A lot of torque steer. What's that? Torque steer. The torque steer is a little bit, I don't know if I would use dangerous in the beginning, but there's an adjustment period where if you're hitting that accelerator a little too much and your wheel is turned, you get thrown out a little bit. Like, you know what I mean? Oh, 100%. It's a fairly. Yeah, it's like an old sob. It's like a stability issue. Yeah. So that's that was my one apprehension, like a new driver and you know, the wheels turn and it's pulling you in kind of a weird way. Yeah. You know, I wasn't quite sure about that. They make an all wheel drive version that that helps it out. I know that the Cadillac optic is all wheel drive. Right. It was funny, the Blazer for a second so that the larger, you know, Altium Chevy is the Blazer EV and you could get it front wheel drive, all wheel drive or rear wheel drive. Oh, wow. Whatever you wanted. I think they dropped the rear drive one. And what happens in rear wheel with electric? Are you spinning a lot? No, I mean, it depends how much how much power there is. Yeah. If you put 500 horsepower to the rear wheels, you'll spin them, you know, but it just depends on how much power it makes. The other one we're thinking about is Subaru and the Uncharted. We're about to do Dom and Fontes sending us a bunch over and we're going to try those out. Yeah, I'm curious about those new Supras. I haven't driven the new Subaru Electrics. Yeah, they're coming in. They're coming in tomorrow. But the new one just supposedly. The Uncharted is the one that looks pretty decent. Cool. Well, as long as we're talking about batteries at CES, this company, Donut Lab, unveiled the world's first production ready solid state battery. Now, this is the great promise of electric cars that changes the game, right? These batteries are. I don't know the specs, but it could. The batteries weigh half what current lithium batteries weigh and they can charge fully in about five minutes. And that means you're almost doubling your range. You're you're getting five to six hundred here. If we go down, maybe that number is there. It's the holy grail of energy storage. Safer, lighter, faster and charging. Oh, that's right. They last forever. They don't catch fire. Now, where's the fun in that? Keep going down. We're looking for this number. Okay, here we go. Donut Labs, all solid state battery delivers 400 kilogram energy density. I don't know what that enable enabling longer range with significantly less weight. I like that the battery can be charged to full capacity in as little as five minutes without the typical stopping at 80%. It also supports safe, full discharge repeatedly and reliably. Now, go down. I think there's no recycling with it, too. There's no sort of ways there. Longevity is another standout. The battery is designed for up to 100,000 charge cycles with minimum capacity fade and order of magnitude beyond conventional lithium high on batteries. It's way beyond. Safety, long considered the Achilles' heel of battery technology is built directly into the chemistry with no flammable liquid electrolytes. The donut battery eliminates the risk of thermal runaway, dendrite formation and the chain reactions that cause battery fires. There's another big one below that, 99% capacity at minus 30 degrees centigrade, which is like minus 40. Yeah. I mean, the promise of lightness is the thing that I'm keyed in on. Yeah. The light, battery-powered car that I can charge in five minutes is a very attractive idea. And also, that's great, too. You can go, you know, if you've ever been on a road trip with an EDM, you know that once you get to 80%, it just slows down. Yeah, yeah. And so, you know, that's great. Five minutes is a gas station stop. It's less than a gas station stop. Yeah. It's really good. Were you at CES? I was at CES. Why were you there? For work. I was... What did you see? I didn't see a lot at CES. I drove nine different Chinese cars. And are these cars that are going to be available? So, it's funny. So, I asked them. I said, so let me just real quick. Here's why I don't know anything about them was there was about 120, very Chinese style, 120 journalists, nine cars. Oh, God. And about two hours. Oh, no. So, we're just ripping through them. But so, basically, Gili owns Volvo and Lotus. And I said, why are we driving these? And the guy said, we got a Volvo factory in the U.S. We could make Zickers here. I see her. So, they want us to say that they're good cars. So, this black one here, this is the Zicker X. 422 horsepower all-wheel drive. The price point is like laughable. It's like, you know, $20,000. It's so cheap because of, you know, a combination of almost free labor. Right. Chinese government subsidies. You know, just scale, all the, you know, China speed, all that kind of stuff. It's the exact same car that we went to New York to see. Remember the Volvo EX30? It's the same car, different body, with actually a nicer interior. And yeah, I think it's a great design. Look, it's a ripoff of the Chevy Bolt and the BMW i3. But it's a nice looking design. And again, 422 horsepower, like, sign me up, you know? So, yeah, it was cool. And you can see those other Chinese cars behind it. I believe that's the, oh, God, that's the Zicker 001 maybe behind it. The Zicker. Yeah. And you're going to start seeing Zickers now. And actually, there already are Zickers in LA. The next Waymo, the big van thing is a Zicker. That's a Zicker. That's the, I saw that went to the Waymo booth, actually. And that's Waymo. That must have been quite a booth. It was cool. So they're asking about killing animals? I did not. I asked some other questions. But they have Waymo Driver 6. So the current Waymo is running around and Waymo Driver 5. Yeah. So 6 is much better. Yeah. Drives much better. And they're switching from Jags to Hyundai Ionic 5s and to the Zicker bus. For Jaguar. They've changed the name to the, it's the, uh, hi. It's the Zicker Ohai. It's the name of the bus. Hi, I see. Anyways, yeah, it was cool. But it was, yeah, it was, um... Imagine what those Jaguar meetings are like right now. We lost Waymo. At least we have Waymo. At least we have Waymo, all right? That's where we're going to start. We've been knocked down, but we've got Waymo. Wait, what? Got a quorum called, sir? Waymo's dropped us. Zicker who? The fuck? Zicker, what's a Zicker? But anyhow, you will start seeing around LA and wherever else Waymo's living. You'll start seeing the Zickers and the Hyundai Commas. This is what I was talking about. You know, everybody's talking about BYD and these Chinese companies, but they're not, they're not going to let them here in the United States. They're already here. Right. They're already here. They'll let them in. So in Mexico, they... That's just, uh, that's just a payment to the White House. Here, now you're done. Build a factory. You're making BYD cars here now. Congrats. So in Mexico, the Chinese cars had a 20% tariff and they were so cheap, it didn't matter. So then they jacked up to a 50% tariff. So I actually went to the guy from Zicker and I'm like, why don't you just bribe Trump? You got billions of dollars. Yeah. Just give him a million bucks. He'll drop the tariffs. He was kind of government. He was kind of like, hmm. Since you suggested it. Not the worst idea. Not the worst idea, Johnny. Thank you. But right. I mean, if you're a businessman, like why not? Like maybe you'll invade Taiwan for you. Like it's, it's just... Invite Johnny Liebham into our dinner, our private dinner this evening. You show up to Chuck E. Cheese. There's 10,000 people in the parking lot. Aw. There are 10,000 other people here. They were also invited. Your seating will be in six hours. Let's talk about Coinbase. That's right. Coinbase. Oh, crypto. I have a Coinbase account. Me too. The current financial system makes a lot of things harder than they need to be. For example, buying a car with traditional methods is still pretty annoying in 2026. Banks are closed on the weekends and holidays. Car prices basically always exceed payment app sending limits. Wire transfer fees can be very high. Three to five business days is far too long to wait for your money to clear in the age of the internet. Carrying $80,000 in cash isn't for the faint of heart. And what the hell is a cashier's check? And forget about traditional international payments that may or may not still use a carrier pigeon. Enter USDC, a stable coin that is redeemable one to one by the US dollar. It allows you to send funds in any amount, anywhere in the world instantly for free. No weekend restrictions, no banking hours, no spending limits, no weird cashier checks or bouncy personal checks. Coinbase is the most trusted platform to buy, sell, hold and send crypto, including USDC sign up and explore USDC on Coinbase today. And a little later in the show, we're going to tell you about a very special car. Coinbase is auctioning off on cars and bids. We'll tell you a little bit about that in a second. First, the show is also sponsored by Raystek, our friends at Raystek and have 33 patents and are proudly made in the USA. And boy, oh boy, do they wake up your garage floor in just hours without smelly glues or adhesive mess. It just snaps together. Raystek is engineered to be a true do it yourself garage flooring system. As little as two hours you transform your garage into the coolest garage on the block. 20 styles to choose from self draining technology, modular garage flooring that did not exist prior to the pioneering Jorgen Mahler. He's a flooring pioneer. Self training pioneer. He's a Porsche guy like us and trust me. He's figured it out for your car floor. Go to Raystek.com, use code SPIKE356 and get an exclusive 15% off and free shipping. And we thank you for sponsoring the show Raystek and Coinbase. Coinbase, good get. I play tennis with the Coinbase. That's good. Yeah, that's good. They're Porsche guys too. Of course. I haven't checked mine lately. I, you know, it was a while ago and I think I bought like 10,000 Bitcoin or something when it first came in. You have 10,000 Bitcoin? I thought so. I had to write the code down on a little thing. It's in the safe. I should log in and see what it's worth. Right. Did it get went down? I'm sure you have 10. This is I'm going to kill you if you have 10,000 Bitcoin. Why? What are you doing here if you have 10,000 Bitcoin? What is Bitcoin? It's like 91,000 a coin. Christ. I'm a billionaire. You could be a billionaire. Do you really have 10,000? You're lying. Of course I'm lying. I had a bunch. Every once in a while, I do like to go back and look at the years I could have bought a hundred thousand dollars worth of Bitcoin in the first year just to beat myself up for more dumb decisions I should have made. Oh, I remember when my mom died, I had a little bit of money. I was thinking like, I should just buy Bitcoin. Why do we do that? It was like $2,000 a coin. Yeah. And I didn't. It's a very weird human behavior that we do. We'll go back and look at what should I have invested in? Here's a car I wanted to talk about this week. A car I didn't know existed. Red Bull's V10 hybrid hypercar that revs to 15,000 RPM. What the hell is this? Track only. It's basically Valkyrie 2.0, but Adrian Newie, you know, he said, hey, I'm going to design a customer car. It's track only is the key thing. Right. But yeah, it's just like Valkyrie with even less real car stuff to weigh it down. But why is Red Bull making a car? Oh, because they sold them. They sold how many? There's 22 of them sold or 17 sold for 5 million each. But so Red Bull, they sponsor a lot of racing, right? Well, they have an F1 team. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Very successful F1 team. But then they go, we also want to make and sell cars like, can you roll down lower so we can just read the story here a little bit? More than three years since they announced the car, right? It was at Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2025. And they, I mean, it's just hard for me to wrap my head around why they're doing this, I guess, for advertising. Like, where do you go to buy the Red Bull? They also had to make money. Well, look, I can't see that. Can you see anywhere on there where it says how many they made? But they were all sold three years ago and they announced it. Right. You know what I mean? So it's money in the bank. Look at that shot. That's a nice looking car. And they are going to make 50. So 50 times 6.7 million. Wow. Sounds like real money. It kind of looks like the Zinger. Little bit. That you just drove. It's got that same design language from the top. We've lost our minds. Track only. Oh, it's track only. Okay. Well, do you see that shot right there? Doesn't that look like the Zinger? There's a lot of Zinger. I mean, there's a ton of Aston Martin Valkyrie. I mean, it's just a Valkyrie. So 6.7 times 50 is $335 million. So they made this little tiny profit of some carbon fiber and a V10. I mean, what is it going to cost to make these? To design it, put it together? When you're talking new car models can sometimes cost a billion dollars just in development. A billion for that. Again, this is track only. So you don't have to worry about anything. If no. So what? They make two million bucks. Oh, they probably made a couple hundred million. I think it's just for youth. So you think they're making all of the cars for a hundred million dollars and then there's a door. My math wrongs. It could be me. No, that's right. That's right. Yeah. 3525. Yeah. I don't think they're losing. Where do I get my Red Bull car fixed? You go down at the 7-Eleven. 7-Eleven. Yeah. I think the people buying these have their own mechanics and then the then Red Bull also come in. You know, they'd fly people in the fixture car. Hmm. I want an A and W root beer vehicle of some kind. There's something like that. Dr. Pepper. What are you doing? Let's go. The Dr. Pepper EVs are wonderful. I yeah, I just don't. I just don't understand it. I think they've crossed over into a weird spot for me. Really? How is this weirder than the Aston Martin Valkyrie? Look, AMR, which is strack only. They sell garbage in a can. Yeah. But they take their money and they do cool things with it. Like I like their videos. Yeah. And I like that they sponsor F1 and they're using their money for good. It's not sponsored. They are an excellent team. They own the team. That's great. They build the cars. I mean, they build the F1 cars. But a fizzy caffeine laced ginseng crap in a can. It's not what I want to feel. I don't want to see that on the back of my car. This is for the this is for F1 fans who have watched the Red Bull F1 team be awesome for 15 years. I understand what it is. Yeah. But I don't. So, but I would rather raise cars building a track car. I would rather they do that with a company that I respect as far as car building and manufacturing. But again, F1 fans respect Red Bull. I don't think they do. I think they respect it for the reason that Max Verstappen is kind of considered like the greatest champ. He drives a Red Bull. They're the money people. He's the talent. There's a difference. No, but they build the car. You seem to be skipping over this. They're not putting their name on a car. They physically hired. Factory. Yeah. They hire Adrian Newie, designs the cars and Red Bull manufactures it. And let's look at this Red Bull manufacturing factory. Let's go see where they're making their shitty piss colored caffeine, soda and F1 cars. No, it's different. One's in Austria. One's in England. They're the F of that Red Bull in England. No, not that. There it is. So somewhere in the back there is where they're making their cars. Those must be mufflers right there. I would do I would do. The Red Bull branded muffler. If I can make a suggestion to camera, I would say Red Bull F1 factory. Okay, sure. Yeah. Okay. See, it's a factory. They build that doesn't look like a factory. That just looks like a hanger. He with a couple of lifts. I mean, we have that here. That Spikes car radio factories right here. So our factory, they make four cars a year. Okay. A lot of cars. The workshop. Yeah, that's not a factory. It's a workshop. They have a workshop. Yeah. This is the dumbest picture Cam could have picked. He's helping my case. This is literally like this is like the wing mirror testing vibration. I'm just having fun. The new Fanta Orange hypercar. Okay. The new Welch's grape has gone into a V26 hypercar race car. That you can buy. We're making 50 of them for $10 million. Wow. I'm sticking with my A&W root beer. You know, I was going to talk about this Jeff Swart commercial with Suckerman and he's not here, but Jeff Swart has, you know, watches the show. He's been on the show a bunch of times. Coach me at Pikes Peak. Yeah. We're huge fans of his. He was commenting in our little text thread about how the new Orange 356 was in his 50th anniversary Panamera commercial. I think that's what he called it. Oh yeah. Yeah. So when they were launching the new Panamera, this is a shoot that he reached out to all his friends. There's I think Jerry driving the command. I brought down the 73 Tangerine RS, which was my car. And the idea was the family tree of Portia. And when you, you know, he texted us, so he goes, Hey, you know, the Orange 356 is in there, the Chick Iverson 356. And I said, Oh, wow, that's wild. I didn't don't remember that car. I remember the 73 RS. And then we, you know, then I played it. This thing is, this is a practical shoot, this commercial that looks like when you play it now looks like an eight. Go ahead and play it. Looks like an AI product. It's so insane that Zwart did this. Look at these shots. Are you driving in there? There's the, there's the Orange 356. My car, I don't know that my car made the final cut, but look at these shots. It looks positively fake. Wow. There's the, there's the 917. And this is an El Mirage. Yeah. No, it was, yeah, I think so. We're down by El, geez. I don't even remember. I thought I think it's El Mirage. We were driving down towards San Diego somewhere. Oh, okay. Wow. That's cool. Here's what I remember. It was just like, oh my God, I get so many rock chips in the front of the 73. But I called Suckerman and I was like, dude, two of your cars are in this amazing piece of footage. Look at the Carrera GT. And another bold line. That was a 993 RS too. That I think was another one of Jerry's cars that he drove. Right. Look at that. It's really an incredible piece of work and it's practical. Wow. I mean, something you just will never see, I think ever, ever again. I remember there were just hangers full of these cars, a Zwart with a headset running around. I think they made a special camera car. It was one of the first times they had the, they had a Cayenne with a camera. Well, the Russian Army. Yeah, you know. But he did this great thing and that was like, Suckerman, you got to feel good, man. You got to feel good. Two of your cars are in this. I'm not coming to the show. And then he goes like this. Well, hold on. Let me call you back. Right. Yeah. Then he goes, then he calls back and he goes, so who's, who's the other person on that text thread? And I go, that was Jeff Swartz, Suckerman. Oh, yeah. Now I understand. And I said, all right, I'm going to send the dementia tester over right now for you. I had some fun with Zuckerman as well this week. What happened? Well, I ate shit skiing. Yeah. And, but what happened was, if I can tell my side of the story, please. Yeah. But you're assuming risk. I talked to Zuckerman enough to know that I can be a junior PI lawyer at any time. Like he held on cases by me and asked for my opinion and he'll go, you're right. Very rarely am I wrong. So my wife and kid, it's easy. Ski a little. You've already assumed risk. They're trapped on the bunny hill. We can't help you, sir. And so I noticed I was looking at the map and I noticed there's a green run. Yes. All the summer run goes all the way down green, all the way down green means beginner. Right. Right. I said, well, I'm going to check this out and see if my wife and kid could do this. Right. So I'm skiing and then there's an arrow that says turn left to keep going down the summer run. And suddenly, because right now, big bear is all man made snow. There's no, there's no snow. It's just rocks and I hit the rocks and I just fly 10 feet in the air skis. Fantastic. Land on my thumb, bloody up both knees. Jesus. And why didn't you stop before the rocks? It was like, I was kind of going like this and then it dipped down and the second it dipped down, I'm like, oh my God, rocks. And then just, it just happened. And so I call Zuckerman because my thumb was getting better now. My thumb was all fucked up and splinted. I go, do I have a case? And he, he basically, I can't actually repeat what he said. I'm sure you can. Go ahead. No, I really can't. It involves certain words that are no longer in vogue. If you know what I'm saying, you know, one thing I said on the show. Okay. Yeah. But he said, basically, if you, if skiing after 30 is stupid, skiing after 40 is something and he's like, you're 50. What the fuck are you doing? I said, and I told him, I said, and I, I even, when I, the medic was wrapping me up, I said, why isn't that like, you know, roped off? He's like, oh, we forgot to rope it off. And I said, do we have a case? And Zuckerman said, go back, get another ticket, break your neck. Then we have a case. Yeah. A thumb. What are the damages? But my thumb really hurt and it ruined my ski track. That's the problem. And the other thing is you're assuming risk when you're stepping on a mountain. You're going to lose. The jury is not going to side with you unless it's Gwyneth Paltrow that did it to you or a crash. Right. They didn't, they were going to rope it off and didn't. Yeah, but still even. But again, you're following the beginner route and there's no damage. Well, my thumb hurts. Had you hit the rocks, broke your neck like he's saying. Shoemocker or died. Yeah. Yes. Then. Yeah. The money. But the story dies with you. So no one heard anyone anyone say that. I'm not taking the case. I'm sorry. I'm taking your case. Yeah, it was, it was a really nice interaction with Zuckerman. It was sweet. That's nice. Yeah. All right. Let's talk about Coinbase again. Now Coinbase is auctioning off this 1995 Acura NSXT on Cars and Bids where the winner of the auction can pay for this NSXT with USDC, which is crypto, showing them just how simple it is and why USDC is the fastest and easiest way to buy a car. This meticulously maintained example is a one owner car with an incredible 320,000 miles. That is not a mistake. What? That's right. It's a, it's a perfect car with 320,000 miles, three liter V6, 270 horsepower, 210 foot pounds of torque, five speed manual, incredible, uh, long life, 320,000 miles and only one owner. Extensive, recent maintenance. Now this should address the mileage, including a full engine out service. Headgasket, timing belt, oil seals, incredibly well kept. The only real sign that it has the miles on it is the cruise control button. Wow. But look at this, look at this picture. Look at how it looks. It looks at the contrast of newness versus the miles. That's a lot of miles. It is, but it's a Honda. It's a Honda. Look, I'm buying this car just based on this shot right here. A crispy nature of it. I think you should buy it. Well, I'm going to have to bid on it. Okay. But I do have a crypto. How much do you have 10,000 Bitcoin? How much do you pay for 320,000 mile Honda? I guess we're going to find out. Don't miss the auction. It goes live tomorrow at cars and bids.com. That's tomorrow, Thursday, January 15. And I think it's pretty cool. Pretty cool collab here between Coinbase and cars and bids and the Acura NSXT. And also don't forget to sign up for Coinbase and explore US DC. Look at that. It looks so new. It looks brand new. This car is crazy. Yeah, it's really an interesting idea to drive, isn't it? It must have been repainted. I mean, it's worth 20,000 miles. Looks like it. Today's show is also sponsored by ODU.

ODU, modern management made simple. Porsche. Guess what? Porsche is doing. They are now doing a collab, speaking of collabs with K1 speed. Did you see this? No. There it is. Look at this. Here's, this is kind of interesting. And I emphasize kinda. Don't oversell it Spike. I don't want to oversell this because it's only kind of interesting, but it is kind of cool if you're a kid and you're thinking about racing, especially an open cockpit car and you like Porsches and you've got an active, uh, an active creative memory, I mean, creative brain. Like you can really imagine and fantasize about. I'm out. You can go to K1 speed now because Porsche is working with K1 and, uh, they're looking to focus on talent development. The idea being, you know, yes, you can race these Porsche branded cars, but we're also good. We've got our eye on you. K1 speed logos to peer on Porsche single make race cars in North American championships. K1 speed champion racers will win entry to the Porsche Sprint Challenge North America or Porsche Sprint Challenge USA. That's cool. Yeah. That's cool. Not bad. And well, a lot of people, you know, they, they, they see the go cart. I don't think we talk about, we say high speed carts now and they, they, you know, they're like, whatever, but you know, this is the first thing I race done. You know, Jim Hall racing. We went on these high speed carts, these little two stroke deals that shift your carts wild acceleration and bruises on your back and the turns. And you really learned the choreography of the track. And look at this. Now you've got an actual pathway to becoming a racer with K1. Don't they have that giant new place out in the desert? There's a big one. I keep hearing big ass track out there. Yeah. Okay. One's cool. And I mean, it's interesting too, cause you know, 30 Porsche is doing that fat carting league thing with a, I forget his name, the F1 guy interviewed him. Can't think of his name, but, um, and that's kind of cool. Cause they already, they have like three regions and they're going to keep adding regions and regions. So it seems like they're people are really looking at carting to like develop driver talent, which has always been the case. It's so fun. Yeah. It's so fast. Oh yeah. It's legitimate. It's, it's less expensive. Well, that's, that's the thing, but like shift your carts, like the stuff that like the F1 kids serve, that's not cheap. That's like a hundred grand a season. I know that Ferdy's thing is like five grand a season. K1's way cheaper. I take Richard K1 and you can, the league is like 53 bucks a month or something. Yeah. Really cheap. So yeah, that's cool. But you learn, you know, you're racing on slicks. That's great. You learn, you learn about a tire. It's great. Heat it up. I'll grab. It's so funny to watch the kids get in these carts and do it and, uh, watch the kids, all the dads were there and all the kids were just completely passing, just ruining them because they just got used to the balance so quickly and they were just sliding around. There was a way like nothing compared to the dads. That's why it wasn't that. It's just that their young elastic brains just felt the car better and did better. And, and, and it was everyone. I was with James Marsden. His son, Jack shows up, crushes James. James was doing really well. I've met both of them. Actually, I met you. I remember I had my boys, my Jack and my James. James had never been in one of these things. Just slapping me, just crushing. And, uh, and Ray, our teacher was just like, this happens with kids because they're not thinking so much as they are feeling the track and the car. I'm not talking about young kids, but kids are like teenagers. They are able to kind of just get at one with the car without thinking too much about where they're at. And we saw that. But I, now Johnny has a different opinion than the pro carting guy. But yes, sure. Go ahead, John. They weigh less kids. Way less. Yeah, that wasn't what, yeah. That wasn't, carts are very weight sensitive. As a member of the Fat Guy carting league, you have to be over 200 pounds of race. Uh, yeah, that's right. It's very weight sensitive. So that's why they asked for our weight for each of our cars so they could make their judgments. They're doing BOP. This so they can make adjustments. They're at it, really? Yeah. They're doing BOP on your cars. So we could all be even. Yeah. Yeah. That's what they did. They wanted to know how tall, how much we weigh. And then we were each assigned cars based on those. Okay. It's, it's moderately interesting. Yes. Moderately. Don't undersell it. Don't undersell it. I don't want to oversell it. Fast. Or undersell it. Fast. Let's see what else we have to talk about here. I have a new segment on the show. And here it is, right here. It's called, Oh, those wacky waymos. Roll it in. I've just decided to create a segment for the show here because all week long, these cars are screwing up. All week long, these cars are screwing up. Sure. People are sending them to you. They're sending them to me. And I thought, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, our friend Ingram who we're always talking about in the studio here is our editor. I just said, create a little montage. The segment intro with little jaunty music. And I get the feeling we're going to be using it almost every week. First, we go to this clip here. This is a woman. I don't know where she is, but she had an accident with a Waymo. I literally have been sitting here for a whole hour because I got into an accident with a Waymo and they don't even know what to do. The officer has been in his car for 30 minutes. He said this is his first Waymo accident and he didn't know what to do either. There's the first one. Really interesting. OK. Because you may contact with a Waymo. There's no one in it. It stops. What do you do? Zuckerman, what do you do? Oh, wait. He didn't show up for today's segment. That's right. Johnny. Yeah, I guess you sit there and wait for the cop. I mean, I would. But the cop then says he doesn't know what to do. If you hit a Waymo, can you just run? If it's empty, there's no humans in it. It's like it's like hitting a wall. It's a good point. But don't you wouldn't you then go, it's got so many cameras on me and I've probably done damage to that car and my car. Aren't aren't I now in trouble? But if you hit like if you hit like a thing, you hit like a stop sign, do you have to sit there and wait for the cop? So you just go home and then they just deal with it. Like I don't. You know, this is different. It's a vehicle. Well, these are all the questions that's why we're talking. Yeah, it's an interesting problem. If no humans involved, like you made the corporation feel bad. I don't know. Like if I don't know, here's what I was thinking. Like I'm her and I've just hit the waymo. But I also know about like downtown LA, like when the Lakers win or the Dodgers win. They take skateboards and they burn waymos. You sure? Yeah. Yeah. And I don't I have not read about a single person. I'm sure who's on camera getting arrested for blowing up the way. Right. That's kind of my point. Yeah, I think the care. My only concern would be my own insurance. But even then, if I'm the cause of the accident, I'm fine. And like I hit it. Here's how here's the math I would do if the waymo hit me. There was damage to my money. Then I have to. You're in the money. Take some photographic evidence of the car, license plate, take a picture of the damage and then call my insurance company. The other way around, like you're saying, I'm going, I'm not wasting my time with you, robot. And then he's, oh, I didn't know. But the other thing is how do you hit a waymo? Because I got these like spinny giant things on every corner. Make it. Oh, you could hit a way. Well, you could be the waymo could be at a stop sign and you could just rear end the way. No, I'm just saying you would they stand out. Like, yeah, if you haven't seen one yet, everything on them spins. Yeah. Well, we as a culture are very interested in Reddit and our phones. We don't even look up anymore. OK, fair. So so we've got phone business to do. We can't be bothered with driving. By the way, I get the new waymo like PR guys info. We can have them on the show as a talk about waymo like that for the waymo segment. All right. Here's our wacky waymo clip number two. We have many of these this week. This is a waymo in Dade County. I'm guessing Florida. That's Florida. That go ahead and play it. They just decided to stop. I can put on it. It doesn't know. It doesn't know. Yeah, no. Oh, man. All right. All right. It's it's infuriating. But then, you know, it's funny. It's hard to get mad at the waymo. You have this moment like I've had problems with waymos in traffic and you want to you go, hey, move. I yell, hey, move. Yeah. Thinking it's got a, you know, it's got all those gizmos. Maybe it's got a little microphone that knows what hey, move means. Right. Like chat, GPT or something, right? But no, it just gets stuck. I would also say, though, like, you know, cars also break down. You know, it's it's funny because there's no human in it. But like cars just break on bridges. It's true. Yeah, it's true. Yeah. You know, I was on my way here today and there was a waymo and it was two lanes heading into one. And then I went to slow down and I went, oh, wait, fuck that waymo. Right by it, flipped off the waymo. There's no one in it. Sure. And then completely destroyed it. Spike Ferrison. Oh, wait, fuck that waymo. And keep in mind, I'm a fan and a user of waymo. I like this great. I also I used to waymo the other day with Richard. It was he loved it. But it doesn't mean I'm not going to keep showing you these clips. Here's our clip, final clip of those wacky waymos this week. This is a waymo on a light rail. Train track. Excellent. Is that in Phoenix? On the track. Here comes the train. Oh, good. I wonder if that's a problem. Now watch closely. Yeah, I'm fucking getting out of here. Goodbye. Yeah. Damn. I'm surprised he was able to get up. Here comes the train. And what does the waymo do? All right, it starts to go. And then it realize it. They're almost cute. These there was a dude looking at it like what the. That's great. It see the waymo knows he's in trouble and he gets stuck there. They shut down, you know, they shut down. They're almost, you know, they're like little kids in that way. If you yell at them too, too much or they get themselves into trouble, they don't know what to do. That's a good one. That's a good segment. And again, if you're if you've got your phone out and you're witnessing something happening and you're shooting, please don't say, oh, shit, we've heard too much. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Like plain crash. Oh, shit. Lady gets hit on the highway. You got to come up with something original, right? Because millions of people are going to see this. Might I suggest? Oh, wait, fuck that waymo. But these these are pretty good. They still have not eclipsed the guy in the back of the waymo and the mother ordering the waymo for her daughter. And the guy is going, the people put me in there. Who put you in there? The people, the people put me in there. That was good. That was remember the other guy who was in the waymo and it was just doing donuts. And he was like, I'm trying to get to the airport. And he was like trapped in the back of the waymo. I do. That was also really good. That was a really good. Easy customizable themes that let you build your brand. Marketing tools that get your products out there.

Let's talk about something that's probably more exposed than your browser history. Your online data. I can't be the only one who gets stressed when my ads get weirdly specific like they know what I'm thinking before I do. That's where Surfshark comes in. It's my go to solution for secure internet access either at home while traveling streaming gaming. You name it. For those of you new to the world of VPN and the world of the internet. You can find the link in the description. For those of you new to the world of VPN here's how it works. Imagine the internet is a public road. Not pubic road. That would not work. Normally you drive your car, your data on the road and anyone standing on the sidewalk can see what kind of car you have who is inside and where you are going. When you turn on a VPN, it's like a private tunnel is instantly built over the lane you are driving in. The benefit the people on the sidewalk can see that someone is in the tunnel and you can see your face or your destination. That's why I never connect to public or airport wifi without hitting the switch first. Surfshark encrypts your entire connection protecting your personal details and financial data from anyone trying to snoop. Surfshark is more than a VPN that secures your connection. They also have specific add on features. A personal favorite is alternate ID. You can be Zuckerman. And you can have all his browser choices. No. I don't even want to say that. I mean, yeah. Alternate ID generates a brand new online identity and email for you to use so when websites ask for your info you give them the stunt double details and your real personal data stays completely private. Go to surfshark.com slash spike or use code spike and check out to get four extra months of Surfshark VPN and again, Surfshark.com slash spike code spike. Check it out. I was the same when the show first started. I was the same when the show folds. We should do the final week. And here's videos of Zuckerman who sent us. Here's things we could never talk about. I'm trying to think what I've been sent lately on Instagram. It's not good. It's usually animals for me and him. Oh, okay. I get much different things. You do? It's really bad. Yeah. Why does he feel the need to share that with you? Oh, you're talking about the darker his darker algorithm. Yeah, the darker, yeah, the really Yeah, I asked him to stop sending that. I should do that because it's really like Jesus. There's a button and he won't know how to find it, but there's a button where you can clear your algorithm. If you go down a weird wormhole or someone sends you a bad picture, you can take it and you can, it's like a shower. It's like a shower or a mouthwash. Yeah. Or brain cleanse. I've been on Instagram and there were a bunch of girls on it and my kids were like, that's your For You page. And I'm like, whoa, hold on, hold on. That's because of Mr. Zuckerman. More anger should be from Mr. Zuckerman. You don't want him to learn that because you won't have that excuse anymore. No, I believe, but then they showed me how to get rid of it and how it's, it really is exclusively, I think you can guess. Cars, watches, tennis. It's just all three. I was with like nine inch tongues for like a month. I looked at one video. Speaking of tennis, I know not a lot of people want to talk about tennis, but it's the new tennis season starting. Australian is open is there. And we've had this wonderful thing happen, Johnny. And Johnny, by the way, before the show told me he played tennis when he was young. My father forced me to play tennis and baseball and hockey. That's good. I didn't like either. Well, it all worked out. Look at where it got you. Strongman competitions. It turned out. That's good football. Yes. Where was I going? And then look, and you don't have to send me the, you're going to play tennis. You're going to live forever. I know that. And that keeps having, it's like the ultimate sport for living forever. If you do it consistently, you don't even have to do it well. Grip strength. However, it's nothing about grip strength. Size or conference. None. It's really like I watch a bunch of YouTube when it's like, I will give you a thousand dollars if you can return one of my pro serves. Yeah. It's so fun. And it is. It's just, to me, it's just fun to see like, can anybody just get their racket quick enough if they're serving 125, get it out there. Every once in a while, someone will get their racket on it. But this is the clip that really had me laughing. This is, I think the Nairobi open. And somehow this woman, I don't, I'm not even going to. Hajiar. Call her Hajiar. Hajiar. HA. Received a wild card into the night. Now look, this isn't one of the bigger tournaments, okay? The Nairobi open isn't one of the bigger tournaments. No. And by that I just mean the ranked players, I think are above a thousand to two thousand. So they're not even top hundred players, which is what most, you know, top 200. Which again, you're, you're, it's still, you're slicing the cheese thin. Anybody's even the top thousand of the world. It's very good. It's an amazing very good hitter who's going to play well. And this is, you know, women's tennis. So maybe not serving as hard, but still monsters on the tennis court. Like what's a woman, a good one, pro woman, 110 miles an hour. The St. Blanca has one of the fastest consistent average forehands even better than the men. I mean, that should just tell you everything you know right there. Anyway, Hajiar, Hajiar. Hajiar. Hajiar. Is a woman in the black. Got the wild card. She's wearing pants. Doesn't know how to play tennis. She does, she does know. But she was on. So I'm not even sure. So here we go. Here's her first serve, I guess. She's on the wrong side of the court. This is her. She's in the middle. Now here's her receiving it. Yeah, she's positioned completely wrong. She should be in the right. Yeah. Okay. That was bad. This is an amazing clip. There's her serve. Okay, right? That was to the wrong side of the court. There's her net. That was also wrong. This is an incredible said this poor woman that she's playing. Hey, she did one. And by the way, there's got to be, there's got to be a college class for how to pronounce professional tennis players last names. Look at that shot. This woman, Shadal, has to stay, you know, obviously donuts. 6-0-6-0 just beats the hell out of this person. But the person in the other, the the Hajar won three points because this woman was so distracted with how shitty this person played. She made unforced errors. Three of them. So Hajar dragged poor Shadal down to her level. No, yeah. Or she was just going, what is happening here? I mean, I don't even know how this could even happen. But I wish it happened to me. I would love to get in and play one or two points with a problem. Any of us could do a little better. This famously happened in golf with Maurice Flickroth. I believe his name was. Google Maurice Flickroth. British Open. He was able to do what? There's been a really wonderful movie called The Phantom of the Open, but basically this guy right here. So he was a British look at those eyebrows. He was a crane operator. Well, he's a lot younger. This is right before he died that color photo. But go to the what did he do? Set it up. He was a British crane operator. He worked like a port and he saw he had a vision from God. God said, go play in the British Open. The thing is a golf tournament. A really prestigious one, but he didn't know how to play golf. So he got the at the time in the 70s. He was in his video at the time in the 70s. They said, you know, are you a pro golfer on the entrance form? And he just wrote yes. And he shot like a 121, which was like double what everyone else got. Yeah, practiced a little bit. So he he was the worst in history by a lot. He had the lowest or the highest score in golf is the worst score. He had the worst score by a lot. And then they banned him. But then he would he would sneak back in and turn out his wife. It's the craziest true story. His wife worked at a theater. So she was really good at like disguises and makeup. So he would make up fake names like Arnold Palm tree and he would sneak back in every year. And kind of eventually they thought it was funny. They let him kind of fake his way in and he'd have a fake nose and a mustache. And then it turned out later in life there was a like a country club in Michigan that would have Maurice Flickroth day where the person who got the worst score was the winner. They started flying him and his family out every year. It's really this great movie. Fan of the open but really really wonderful. Let's take a look at this guy's face. There's gotta be there's not that face. A younger face. Well, it's not much better. Yeah. Maybe the one by the trophy there when he's younger, when he's playing. All right. This is him in his prime. He looks prime's a stretch. But yeah, yeah. What is going on Cameron? Poor Kim. He looks like a chimney sweep. Yeah. He was a crane operator on a West England seaport. Did he love the game? He was God told him. The other crazy part was his but he loves the game. I don't throw up this guy's Wikipedia page here. We have too many holes in this. I wanted to discuss this. He just had to play because of God. The amateur competing in competitions had to have an official handicap. Something he lacked. He simply declared himself to be professional, which is what I think this woman did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He prepared for the tournament by studying a golf instruction manual which he had borrowed from the local library. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. He also studied instructional articles by professional golfers to hone his skills on the nearby beach. What? Why a beach? Because where he lived in like, again, he lived in like like an industrial English town. They didn't have a golf course. He had a red imitation leather bag and half the clubs that he needed that he had purchased by mail order. His deception was uncovered when he managed to score a 49 over par. The worst score in the tournament's history. How do they not see this right off the first shot off the tee? They just assumed you were having a couple of bad shots. No. I mean, again, it's like... But they did. I mean... That woman I saw served the second she pancaked and went like that, you go, you can't play tennis. Yeah. But usually you can tell now when they're walking on the court they can't play. But the fun part... Here. Then he went on to the physical disguises here. I don't know palm tree, but the best one is he also played under the name Count Manfred von Huffmansel. Which is really good. It's not. The other part that was wild... I'm disappointed that they couldn't see through this. No, no, they saw through it. They totally saw through it. Like half the movie is like the guy that running the British open trying to ban him. But there were some trickery. He had twin sons that were acting as his caddy. They dressed the same and they let him on various goose chases. And the sons that turned out were literal like they were the disco dancing champions of Europe in 1986. Like true story. Totally insane. Great movie. Great movie. I wouldn't say great, but it's a movie. You didn't see it. I don't need to at this point. I don't like him. It's a great movie. Grand Rapids Michigan. Is it great? What's the name of the movie? Phantom of the Open. I'm going to prove to you it's not great. If it has above a 85% tomato in either user or critic. 85%? It's great. It's great. It's a great movie. If you say decent, I'll lower the great movie. Let's check Rotten Tomatoes for the name of this movie. And you're going to see a 68. This is my prediction. What? Phantom of the Open. Oh, it's great. It's great. 86%. You did it. 87%. So it's very good, I would say. It's very good. Look at that. I don't know what you do. I used to also be a film critic, but true story. Can you save it for next week when Zuckerman gets here? No, but I don't want to. I don't want to do that on your Instagram. I used to do a lot of things. Art critic? Art gallery owner. No. Theater critic. I found it. I found it a movie review site called Ruthless Reviews. We had a moment. But you're right about this, Johnny. We're going to go out on that. Congratulations. And then that's our show. Hopefully next week we'll have Zuckerman here. We've got a lot of good stuff coming up. I believe we're going to be having some Ducati's. Coming on. CEO of Ducati's coming up. Ooh. Yeah, it's going to be good. Motorcycles. I know you love motorcycles too. You don't. But stick around if you're on Patreon. Because we're going to take this Chevy for a little ride around the block. And you're going to tell me about it in detail. People, I know this audience loves EVs. So. I love everything. Especially golf. So you guys don't have to come. Patreon. They love EVs. They love. We'll see you next week, Spikes. Are we ready?
