What does that mean? I look skinny I don't know. That's what she said. A stick shift car. That's what she said. You don't know how to drive stick shift, do you He failed. Well, see, that's your fault. Yeah, he failed. Iail I don't really know either. No, I do. Not really. Tell him why you are not allowed to have a stick shift car Okay, you want to hear So this is I used to be a car guy. I used to like cars Don't, I'm old now. you're still a kid I'm old now and I got tired of, um like having to park like nine miles away for fear that somebody was going to ding it and I wouldn't give it to valet and I wouldn't give it dad. So now I just and I don't pay attention. But the last stick sht I had was a Ferrari and I took I also don't have attention I have a tension deficit disorder So I drove home one night my wife was her mother was in the car And I didn't finish. I didn't put it in I didn't put the brake on. I didn't put it. I left it in neutral. I got of the car, I went home, I went to theouse toward the house and I heard my wife yelling as the car rolled out of the driveway across the cul de sac and into the fence of the neighbor So I'm not allowed to drive, I'm not allowed to have stick shift anymore Makes sense He could barely even drive auto drive, let alone stition. Yeah now I'm in a test. I'm a little scared coming here because I don't have the amount of technology cars or Teslaas or whatever in Dallas as y'all do here. And And as we were passing, every one of no one was driving. Everybody was tacking away on their phone, doing their no You're supposed be watching. No no. I have a test like it warns if I go on my phone I don't drive I have Elon drives me from China in China. Oh He' in China. Yeah. Yeah. So but anyway, but but if I look because I'll hear like a message like you just got, if I hear a message and I look down, then there's an alarm that goes off, it's tracking my eyes. So it knows if I'm looking down. Well I have no idea. I saw girls doing their makeup, doing their hair, No attking on the phone. That's not self driving. that's them just being a little remiss and not hanging onto the steer wheel. That wasn't That's LA dri. That'sA.. LA women can do so many things. I would imagine if you were on the road long enough, you would have seen somebody give birth Probably I will Talk about stick shift driving. That made me think about a video that I just saw A stick shift driver. Okay want to see it? Yeah, let's see to put on I don't even think youd need a headset for this because it's a visual I think this is a visual. This is in India. This is apparently they've outsourced stick shift driving in India. No the way, this is not going to happen Why why are you looking at me like that? You've played this one before. I've never played this before. I'm never. You have. Oh yeah, at your daughter's birthday party, but not on not on the podcast. You have. No, I showed this to the kids at the birthday party. I not played this on. I'm not sure if I'm intgued a skill or traumatized. I think he's traumatized. You should be intrigued. We talked about how it didn't go up his butt it went in his team I didn't talk about that with.. Vid, I have a vivid memory. It was a different one. Really, there's more than one of same Part of my algorithm Do you have kids Yeah, I've got a stepson since he was three and I've got a biological son since he was born Are they that's usually that's when you get them When you get the biological ones? Exactly. Are they in the cars No, my biological son Chandler, he's into cars, but he's not in the business. He's twenty eight, I think now And then St Jen, my stepson, he actually iss not really into cars, but he works for me and has since he got out of college. He runs my social media department. You're doing really good. You got a huge number of followers. He's doing really good He's done a good job. He's been with me for, I guess about eight years now since he was three. Well, no, he's thirty now. he got I had him since he was three and he's been with me for eight years. I was thinking, you got an eleven year old doing your social media. It's not going to be far from that. but now since he got out of college, he came to work for me and's been running that and he's done a really good job And the other thing in reading and doing a little bit of research, he did you know you probably don't even know what the Cannonball runun is? No. No, she doesn't know. You probably think it's a Burt Reynolds movie. It is She doesn't even know who Bbert Reynolds is. I do know whobert Reynold is So Cannibbu he so it' his race, you could race right across the country just take a guess. Do you know the answer to this Sonny? that he he drove in a Ferrari from New York City To Los Angeles. No, actually it's Manhattan to Redondo Beach lotot of difference That's not a lot of difference. Oh the difference between Santa Monica and Redondo Vastspin on You're right. LA tr hours. Okay. So Sonny, just off do you know because I'm not going to waste your time if you do you know how long that would take Hm t don't what you think Th days. Ith should take three days, R? I remember we used to drive I'm from Toronto, Canada and used to drive to Florida. We used to go to Miami and it used take us like two days to drive my from L.A to Connecticut, and it took them three days Okay, so he did basically the same thing. Redono Beast didn. You know what he did it in thirty two hours. Why That Wht mean why? He was. It actually seems like a very unenjoyable trip. It was a little bit painful, but the record had not been broken since nineteen seventy nine and it's two thousand seven And we were kind of dared which some buddies of ours were sitting around. and one thing led to another. and Next thing I know the next morning we were leaving Manhattan and on our way to Redondo Beach, nonstop. It was in a Frarow Five fifty Marilla, nineteen ninety nine model. So to break a record, not just for funszies. Correct. Okay I didn't think we were going to use the word funzies having you on, but thank you. If I hadd known how to put it in my rider, no funzies.. Wh You don't like funzies , But I think that's pretty amazing. Did't Now thirty two hours to go across this whole country. Did you stop for you had extra gas? We did. We had an extra tank in the trunk, but because the Ferrar iss a closed loop system, what we did closed loop system is mean tot. Exactly. We tried to what we did was we had a bladder back there and when we would get low on the original tank, we would just pump it to the top of where you fill in. spepeaking out of the ladder. Exactly. No, spepeaking of the bladder, not the gas, yours. Yeah, we only physically stopped the car five times Each time for gas, it took about fifteen, sixteen minutes for gas He would run in, I'd fill one tank I'd run in, he'd f the other tank and off a go Im talking about talking about pissing. Yeah I did pee on the floor once of the car? Yeah Of what? We're not gonna to stop. you think he stopped ran into a building and pissed on a floor? You know, I pissed in his car once and he gave it away. I did It makes sense. It does. Not on purpose. D Dinn still has the p. it away on purpose. I didn'tiss in your car on purpose. Oh, okay I go ahead, where were we s saying I was just saying we got it cleaned up. We still got the car. It sits around either Mine or Denis's house The one you pissed in? Does that make it worth more or less I would say this car's Sort of should be worth more because it has a record, even though the record's been beat since then, but it also is so beat down that it's probably worth less was the most expensive car that you they have Right now, ot of Ferrari eight hundred twelve GTS that's probably six hundred six twenty five. I just got picked up in an Uber. I don't know if you saw my post. Do you follow me? U yeah, or you do. I posted that I was picked up by an Uber And look, it's a four million dollarsar Uber. Oh, and a guy picked me up. Is that a pghani? Yes. Yesi. You could just look at it and know it's a pagani? Well, I've been doing this my whole life. so I didn't know what that was, but it's expensive and uncomfortable hard to get in and out of was really hard to get in and out of But you pay four million dollars for that. Yeah, I haven't reached into the multim million dollar cars yet, but I'm working on it. You want that you would like something like? I thought that you're the guy that basically takes, you'll find somebody's trash and then really create a piece of art out of it? We do. We focus on finding something and bringing it back to life sometimes exactly as it was supposed to be and sometimes very custom or very different than it was ever supposed to be It just depends on what the car says to me. my processes I have a garage similar to yours here and I pull it in and when everybody leaves, I get a six pack of beer and I sit there and just stare at it for a while and Somet comes out of that somehow That's called alcoholism Yes. You're like pit My ride. No. No He's white. Yeah. Yeah. The guy' working on the. We're not pit my ride. I'm not putting a fish tank bowl in the dash or anything. I Because you're not into funzies. Yeah you when you were driving from New York to Redondo Beach or wherever you said it was, did you not get a ticket? O do you get a free pass when you say, I'm in the cannibon Now if you get stopped or you have a flat or a problem and you get pulled over or anything, you're done. You might as well just head home because you're not going to break the record here. You know, you lose thirty, forty minutes for any reason and you might as well go home. What was the difference in the time between the first place and the There was' no second place. It was only us that tried it. and the time just the time. you're just beating the clock. Exactly in thousand nineteen ninety nineteen seventy nine, they set it in thirty two hours and forty some odd minutes. And then we were the first ones to break it in zero seven And now it's been broken a couple of times. There's actually a single driver guy that's down in around twenty seven hours By hisself. byy himself Oh you mean by himself, I thought you meant he just didn't have a girlfriend No, he was just buying himself a car. I just thought it was single. He literally my notes guys. He literally rented a mustustang from Hurz and pulled out all the interior and stuck gas cans in there and took off slowown. He rented something from Hurz. It's a rental. He doesn't own it. Oh yeah. got and he gutted it. Exactly. And and You're not and then when you return it, I guess he took the insurance. Well, yeah, but then he just put the stuff back in and turned it in The amount of mileage that you put on. Well I'm sure there's a way to rent with you know, X amount of miles for a month or whatever. I don't know Do you ever do you um Do you ever do weird things like at a drive through?

That's the other thing. So in reading about you, you were a fireman and you were a police officer or a sheriff or something like a all before you were twenty one. Yeah, I could go into the bar and arrest somebody, but I couldn't buy beer. I was a police first in fire and then you know, basic meta EMT before I was twenty one Well how did they I didn't know that they h cops hire people kids? It was different back then, you know, we're talking in the eighties I was there. I'm older than you, I think. A little bit. I'm fifty seven, so. Oh a lot. I'm seventy. Okay. Yeah. so but I didn't know that there was like eighteen year old cops or nineteen year old cops. Well, in Texas, it was a little different and it was more rural and you know, it was just a different time. It's not anymore now. And you got shot I did and let's see nineteen ninety two A a drive through. I did. trying to get a hand job. was trying I was trying to get a burger. It was late at night. I went to the bar with my buddies and one of them got lucky and he left. and so I took a cab home. We didn't have Uber back then. And then I decided I was hungry so I went to the local burger joint Wrong place, wrong town. But you weren't a cop I was. You were. But I didn't carry my gun when I went out drinking and carousing with my buddy, so I didn't think it was small. Who shot you? Uh undesirables, notot nice people. I mean, is it does anybody ever you Oh yeah, they were it was carjacking In a cab No, I went home when the cab and got a car and went to go get something to eat But you say undesirables.

It went into my shoulder here and came out my arm about right here because my hand was on the steering wheel Wow, straight.' I got lucky at it didn't or unlucky, but lucky and unlucky Yeah at the same time. A couple inches over, it might not been too good. As a cop, what's the gnarliiest thing that you got to see or were involved in or Most of the gnarly stuff was with the fire department. It was, you know getting to the wrecks or fire and things like that. Some of that, you know, you'll carry with you for a long time. Um They' ever be described. Okay Why would we do that? Let's just think about it for a minute Did you ever use the jaws of life? Yes. I'm talking about going down on a woman U Yes. I mean I haven't called it that, but it sounds pretty cool. I think that's what it should be called. Is that when they're backing up on the? Honey, youre ready for the jaws of life? You didn't think your old man had it in them, did you a father sister cast U So how often do you record a new episode for YouTube? We try to put one out every week. just basically what cars we're working on and what cars we bought and sold and you know, progression of what's happening in the shop and then a little bit of mayaybe we went somewhere you know, Kansas City to pick up a car and we tested the Kansas City giant burrito or whatever. you know, just a little bit of what gas mononkey' all about and what we do. I always thinking like when I watch you guys or I watch you, it's like you seem like the new age treasure hunters You know, it's like when you find these It is. It's really cool. So my favorite part to do is is to go And go find these things. But but I've seen a couple of them that that you go and find them and I'm going like, what does he see? this piece of shit? Yeah, exactly. It's like a piece of shit Oh this is perfect. This is perfect. I'm going what the fuck? I would it looks like garbage. you know to some it will, but to the trained guy that knows what we're going to do with it we can turn that around and make it something special, makeake it a hot rod, make it a resto mod, make it back to original And they're still out there. I mean that you're finding them every day. Have you ever picked up something and then found some treasure in it? Like have you ever like pulled out the upholstery and then you found something from like Yeah, I actually have a thousand dollars bill in my pocket that I carry that was inside the owner's manual of like a nineteen thirties Ford that I bought from some guy. Do you have it here? Yeah, it's in my pocket Take it out. I'll see it I see a thousand doll bill I've never seen a thousand dollars. H you ever seen a thousand dollars bill? Well he quit making it in nineteen thirty four because it allowed bad guys to carry too much money at one time. But is it but you couldn't Would they take it today? Yeah, he can still use it today. I mean, most of the time you would just How many on it What is a thousand dollars bill worth today This one because of its condition is probably worth thirteen, fourteen hundred bucks You know, but in you I canet I caneted out that part. can you just say wo million. That's Now he's gonna get robbed. Oh he carries that on him. Oh wow Look at that and you look at that. United That's cool. That is really cool. Is there date on it? nineteen thirty four should be. Yeah, nineteen thirty four. Who's the president on that or who's on it Who is that Canadian, Who is that American. I have no idea on. Who is that? Who is that?

And you found that in the owner's manual of a car, what year was the car?? L in nineteen thirties Ford. I don't remember exactly which one. Why would the guy put it in his owner's manual?

It is Put a link to the court system because we'll figure out who gets ownership of that. Oh no. I got that. Did that mess with you when you were taking all your stuff from discovery and bringing it back to doing all your own stuff? Did you have to like Stop what you were doing and relaunch. Sort of I'm under shit tons of NDA's and everything else, but let let's just talk about what Let's Well, let's just say that there are pieces of shit the production house and Discovery and they tried to take what was mine and they didn't get it Yeah, Because the because it was yours, so they wanted to keep it and they wanted you to rebrand to something else. No. they want it They wanted me to come into line, keepe making the show. giveive them my brand They're taking everything. and it's haking it. It's h. it was me. It' making them feel bad. Why you rubbing it in his? I'm asking. I want to know. I think you're rubing it in. I'm not. I want to. At the end of the day, it's the story you hear a hundred times over here. You're like the judge Judy ofut of the automotive You hear that story in LA all the time that the the big guys did the little guy wrong and you know what? I came out on top. I own everything one hundred percent And there's not there's not a lot of people in L.A that came out of this washing machine and could say they're clean and they own it Do they have a Bethany clause? I don't know what that is. Everything comes back to Bravo for me. Well because reality stars much do well. No, what they do is like in Bravo is they have a closet if you're on a show or if you're on their network, any other vventure that you take part in. They get a piece of it. They didn't when I did mine. Okay. But by the time that I was ending my relationship with them, they believed that they had that right. And so they tried and they lost you had a good lawyer Yes did A I still fighting still Is it finished? It is all over in twenty twenty one. So when can we expect the tequila to be back on the shelves? We held a little bit because of COVID and then we held a little bit because of pricing. so we're in the process of launching it back up It's a pretty funny brand because when I made it back in the teens, it was when Fireball got in trouble for having all those chemicals and embalming fluid and everything in their Fireball whiskey ' embombing fluid and fireball whiskey. me on it, but they were in trouble for having a lot of chemicals in their drink. And so I was like, well, it's just cinnamon whiskey. I can make a cinnamon tequila. And so my cinnamon tequila is just tequila and cinnamon dust And just give away a secret. That's really good. give away the recipe. It's pretty simple to figure out But do you have to call it something different now? No? I own Gas Munkey in all of its brands So like so cinnamon cinnamon dust. You know Harlan Williams, you know he is I don't ex it He's a friend of mine who's a comedian, very funny comedian, but he has he has a whole I don't know if it's what do you call it like a Foundation against cinnamon angels, right? Like people who have cinnamon allergies. Oh yeah, I've heard of those people. Yeah So he he would he wouldn't be able to drink it.
