Off the Cuff: Cars, AI, and Random Musings
Ever notice how the best conversations happen right before you hit record? We decided to capture that magic by going completely off the cuff in this freewheeling episode.
Starting with AI's growing presence in our lives, we share how we use Amazon's Alexa for practical purposes like maintaining shared shopping lists, while also diving into darker concerns about technology being weaponized by malicious actors. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when we discuss an innovative motorcycle design with a hollow tube that dramatically reduces wind resistance by 70%, allowing it to achieve extraordinary speeds with just 128 horsepower.
Car enthusiasts will appreciate our nostalgic journey through automotive history, from the tank-like American cars of yesteryear to today's high-performance machines. We reminisce about Lincoln Continentals with their iconic suicide doors, debate why American cars seemed to decline in quality during the 1980s, and express amazement at surprising performance vehicles like Jeep Cherokees that can outrun Dodge Vipers in quarter-mile races.
The episode showcases our natural chemistry and willingness to explore wherever the conversation leads. We transition effortlessly between practical technology applications, automotive engineering breakthroughs, and even futuristic concepts that once seemed like pure science fiction. Remember when the idea of having a computer in your pocket seemed absurd? Now we're discussing personal flying vehicles and transportation methods that bend space and time.
Whether you're a tech enthusiast, car lover, or simply enjoy authentic conversation, this episode delivers unfiltered thoughts and genuine reactions. What technologies from science fiction do you think might become reality in our lifetime? Join the conversation and let us know your thoughts!

Welcome to Common Crawford and the Jersey Guy podcast. How are you, gentlemen, doing today? All right, all right, all right you fine gentlemen, stop it, stop it.
Speaker 2:Welcome everybody to the Common Crawford and Jersey Guy podcast. Let's talk to the camera.
Speaker 3:The Jersey Guy, let's talk to them.
Speaker 1:I was talking to them. I just made you look, though, so we were just bullshitting before. Yeah, yeah, we were talking about. Ai and we were just like conversation.
Speaker 3:You know what? We're just going to go off the cuff today. You know we're going to call it an off-the-cuff episode.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3:You know, sometimes I feel like sometimes when we, when we're doing our podcast right, we talk a lot before the podcast and we have some like really fun, interesting conversations and everyone's recorded.
Speaker 2:So we figured, you know, maybe today we'll just uh go off the cuff yes, because we are geniuses in our own mind.
Speaker 3:Well, okay well, I'm I know, I'm just saying I'm just saying so we started talking about ai, so you were saying, yeah, so they're starting to integrate AI into everything, as we've been talking about. But one of the things I think I'm going to enjoy is I, you know, we have the all the echoes in the house. You got the echo here, so Amazon Echo, the Alexa devices, you know.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And so soon they are going to be integrating that into their own ai, their own ai, yeah. So how? Oh, we're gonna.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry my bad, it's gonna be an update, you know, right, and it's just gonna be through the software you know so like a chat.
Speaker 1:So instead of yeah, but it'll be it.
Speaker 3:It'll be ai, though, so but it'll be better because there won't be any like confusion, like it'll know what you're talking about. Right, it'll talk to you like ai does be any like confusion, like it'll know what you're talking about right, it'll talk to you like ai does yeah, like if you know, everybody have. We have our own ways of saying things and stuff like that you can just talk more naturally instead of being like please add so and so to the shop because we use it for a shopping list, that's one of the things we use that.
Speaker 3:That's like one of the best features that we use for alexa is like whenever we use it for a shopping list. So like, let's say, Alexa, so-and-so to the shopping list and they'll add it. Every time we're out of something we shout it out oh, Alexa, add so-and-so to the shopping list. And then we go food shopping. It's on your phone and we share all in Alexa account. So, like you know, I can go food shopping, Tarek go food shopping, and it's always with us.
Speaker 2:Huh, nice, that's great. That's the way to do it. That is great. Yeah, I don't know, man, I'm scared of that stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Not literally. You want to be a freaking robot, but you're scared of that stuff.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm saying only because, but so now here's my shit ready. Yeah, it's me being a cyborg, it's not?
Speaker 1:me being the ai. How do you know you won't be integrated into something?
Speaker 2:well, I know, no, I know I would be so maybe it's going to be some type of you know, it's because it's all that, that terminative stuff, you know what I mean that they're doing everything. It's the I robot. You know it's not me just being a cyborg, and you know me just being a cyborg.
Speaker 3:It wasn't a bad movie that I'm not worried about because I don't think that'll ever happen. What I do worry about is nefarious, and you know people. You know people who are. What's the word I'm looking for? Hacking? No just like evil people. You know using AI for evil purposes or to exploit people, but they're already doing that, bro.
Speaker 2:You know, that's where I think. That's where they're doing it already.
Speaker 3:That's the thing I worry about.
Speaker 2:But it's already there.
Speaker 3:Or people who are like evil, doing like things like now I just watched a whole video. They used a the cartel like was using like for human trafficking. Like yeah, they were using like people were having like oh, this girl was having like an ai conversation with someone and it was just a cartel luring them and they were getting human traffic. That girl was missing and she like called the police and they shut down all the borders and like finally they found the girl at the border, like if she didn't, you know, but like they used ai to like entrap her. You know what?
Speaker 2:I mean right it's fucked up. That's the whole thing, bro. So that's where I. I think ai is the issue yeah, but like I'm not worried about like ai like becoming the cell phone. Yeah, we talked about this self-aware and that phone. And see, that's why Did you change the. But see, did you change the voice on your Alexa.
Speaker 3:If I could do it to Arnold, I would. Why can't you? I don't know that's not available yet, but maybe with the AI they'll be able to, Because you could do.
Speaker 2:Well, I don't On my app. They would have to do a deal. So on my GPS app, I use Waze.
Speaker 3:See, that's what I'm saying, yeah.
Speaker 2:So on my GPS I use Waze and on Waze you could put I don't know there's the make and lift. Yo listen, stop making a chopper. We had a podcast on AI. Get to the chopper.
Speaker 1:We talked about AI in different podcasts as well.
Speaker 2:Right, and we talked about how, when we first talked about it, how we were worried about where it was going to go?
Speaker 1:yeah, then, and look over there and it's, so it's there where we thought it was going, and it's doing both good and unfortunately it's doing bad.
Speaker 2:Look at what they do on on. Uh, listen, you gotta just be, gotta be aware and just be smart about something second guess.
Speaker 1:Enough, right, second guess, but you could.
Speaker 2:I mean it's looking, but you could I mean it's look and pay attention.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Right, but like my most favorite, shit on there on social media are the Bigfoot fucking funnies. I love the Bigfoot funnies on social media and it's all AI, yeah, but I'm saying but then they have the other ones where it's people talking, you know. So, like they have the old lady and it's in Spanish. I fucking love them. They're hilarious. It's like hey, ma'am, you know, miss, what's the one thing that you want to pass on to the younger generation of women? It's like, you know, unless you would turn around and say some dirty stuff, like you know, men, like with men, you know, just marry the first time. I'm time, I'm gonna be the nice one now, but you know, said, the first time you get married, do it for money. The second time you get married, do it for marriage. Uh, for love, for love, you know what's something?
Speaker 2:I should know about men, and it's like you know, never let them put it in your ass. Like you know, only that's the ai stuff that they're doing. Like I said, it's all the jokes, it's all the funny and when you first look at it and you're just listening to what they're saying, yeah, you don't pay no mind right away that it's AI.
Speaker 1:But you pick it up, though.
Speaker 2:Exactly so. Ai isn't anything in between.
Speaker 1:The problem is when it gets to the point where it's going to be hard to tell the difference.
Speaker 3:Yes, we're going to get there Because it is like this close.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Because, even like the AI videos, now that they have like you saw that one the Stormtrooper vlogs or whatever that they have, like you saw that one the.
Speaker 2:Stormtrooper vlogs or whatever those are funny.
Speaker 3:You can always kind of the audio sounds like it's not crisp enough. It sounds like it's coming through. I'm telling you it's going to get to. It's so close right now. Well see.
Speaker 1:I can tell. Don't they do it on purpose? Yes, that's what I was going to say.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because I can tell.
Speaker 1:They do it on purpose, because they're outside on walkie-talkie.
Speaker 2:So now look right.
Speaker 3:So now you're saying that it is because there's already music that's coming out.
Speaker 2:that's AI Okay.
Speaker 3:So if that's the case, that means people who have access to AI software might be using it?
Speaker 1:Yes, Look, we might be fooled.
Speaker 3:Right now, maybe we don't even know. Maybe there's like accounts out there of people who are talking and like maybe it's completely I know it sounds conspiracy. No, no, no, no, you're right.
Speaker 2:Because so dig it when the AI thing.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying? What if we don't know? But that's what the AI thing was getting, because they did.
Speaker 2:There was a guy who to make a new Biggie song. What's if we're AI?
Speaker 3:No, we're not AI. We're not AI.
Speaker 2:We're way too fucking off our rockers to be AI. But, there was one that this guy had taken Tupac. He did.
Speaker 1:Biggie. I've seen a bunch of stuff. They did one with Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah, oh no, I didn't see that one. I saw it and it was crazy. That's not what they're going crazy. Basically, he was saying he was apologizing, he was sitting there talking as if he was having a conversation with you and then at the end he said I'm not going away. Oh snap, see, he said someone's name, said he wasn't going away. I don't want to say their name, yeah, yeah, yeah, that person's name, yeah, I'm not going away. Well, and I was like that is the best AI. Even though it was AI, the way they did it and how they approached it was like dude.
Speaker 2:I'm telling you man.
Speaker 1:I'll, but I'm saying, take someone who's not alive anymore and use it Right. And that's getting better and better, because originally it was like you needed like five minutes of audio now they need less and less and less, right, but again nefarious people they're using that for.
Speaker 3:And we talked about this, yeah, right way back, like probably like the first season, when we were first talking about ai and people using that, and I said this is gonna happen and this is what's happening they're're voice grabbing people.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:You know which voice grabbing is when you use AI to get someone's voice and then you can use them to say anything, and sound like a real person, because you only need keywords and then you can scam people Right Like.
Speaker 3:I call you and go Lou. It's Tom. You know I'm in a lot of trouble. I need something. Can you just lend me a couple?
Speaker 1:bucks, we all need a safe word. Send me some money.
Speaker 3:You've got to have a safe word. Pineapples.
Speaker 1:Just like, just like we used to do. I'm like all right, what's the safe word? Tom, listen, what's your safe word Spaghetti. You're all my friend and I love you, but what's the safe word? Pineapples?
Speaker 2:Oklahoma.
Speaker 1:That's fucking funny.
Speaker 2:Because then the movie was something about Mary, wasn't it? It was something about Mary that the one kid in there with Matt Dillon you were talking about that and I was talking about Jackass.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you were talking about Jackass. He got the new teeth and everything. Yeah, we had work says Oklahoma, oklahoma. And then he said jackass, I forgot about him doing that in the in my son love jackass. Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 3:I used to give him shit about him because he was young, you know like, but whatever you know it's funny though now like like the channel is like chase watches on like youtube, right, they're like jackass for kids. Like he watches like a channel called Unspeakable Okay, and it's like a bunch of like they're younger kids Well, the younger guys they're like in their 20s I guess but like they do like jackass type stuff, but like not.
Speaker 3:But it's like PG-13, you know, or PG, you know like they're not doing any like weird shit in their underwear.
Speaker 1:Right right, right right, turning somebody over in a porta potty.
Speaker 3:Dude, that's fucking great.
Speaker 2:Or a beer enema, yeah, yeah yeah, or the Hot Wheels in his ass in Mexico. Hot Wheels.
Speaker 3:They're just doing destructive. They have a house and they filled the whole house with ball crawlers. Yeah, that was like ball crawlers.
Speaker 2:Oh, that was on Van McGerber's house that they did that with his parents. Well, they did that too.
Speaker 3:And this one they did at the Unspeakable channel. They did a whole where they filled the whole house with trampolines.
Speaker 2:Oh, my god bro, they filled the whole house with packing peanuts. They have a lake in the back of their house.
Speaker 1:How big was?
Speaker 2:this house Like a miniature pond. They have like a mansion, yeah, they have like a fucking yeah, but they're Insta-famous bro.
Speaker 3:Because they're, like, one of the top 10 channels.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so they make money all day. Oh my God.
Speaker 3:So it's funny is they get all this money and then they dump it back into the channel and make these ridiculous. You know they live in the house.
Speaker 2:I know they don't live in the house. With the shit that they do in the house, they definitely don't live in it. Yeah, with the shit that they do in the house, they can't fucking live in it, bro, like I said.
Speaker 3:but Bam Bagheera, they turned around he had bought this crazy castle mansion. Yeah, yeah, yes, and he grabbed with the heart in it, yes, this motherfucker turned around and he filled it up with foam.
Speaker 2:So his parents were like, was it his parents in the rooms or they had come home with some shit and they had walked into the freaking. The whole house was like a foam party, like at a fucking rave. Oh my God, there was foam in there. They were playing tricks on each other, these guys, and they turned around and took a fucking Lamborghini and he and he made it into a. He chopped the top off. They chopped it off on his car, yeah.
Speaker 3:Oh no, they did that to. What's his name? No, who's in Dwight Wedding? What's his name? Oh, billy.
Speaker 2:Idol, billy Idol, yeah.
Speaker 3:Billy Idol, billy Idol came to his son.
Speaker 1:He was in Europe.
Speaker 3:Billy Idol was like you know what this thing needs. He but Jared just hit a so-and-so into the fucking.
Speaker 2:Yeah, to the top of fucking Bam's Lamborghini. And it wasn't even a sunroof, it was an official Lamborghini, bro.
Speaker 3:It was a Gallardo, I think.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah the Lamborghini Gallardo. Fucking sick it was like a purple metallic paint. My gosh, bro. These guys did some crazy shit, man, yeah. And then what's his name got out of it? Oh shit, nitro Circus. I can't think of his name right now. Amazing driver, this guy is freaking.
Speaker 1:I love this guy. Wait a minute. Did you see the video I sent?
Speaker 2:to you guys about the motorcycle.
Speaker 1:Yes, the one with the tube in it, the tube. Yes, Now I remember this thing moves fast yeah, and they said that the front wheel won't come up. Right, usually like it does on a very fast motor, it seems. That's the issue. That's an issue, right, but with this it doesn't.
Speaker 3:So it stays grounded.
Speaker 1:And it's like aerodynamic. The thing is bulking.
Speaker 3:You know, it's funny because I remember when I was in the school, the science teacher I had said he's like we did this science experiment the science teacher had us do. I want you to take an object that you can throw and make it aerodynamic enough where you know who's going to get the furthest.
Speaker 3:You want me to throw it and he's just going to do a single throw. He said he's not going to be biased, he's just going to do a single throw. Okay, he said. And just to mind you, he said the record for the longest thing thrown that way is like I forget how far it was. Okay thing thrown that way is like I forget how far it was. And afterwards he revealed it was like a tube, that whatever the longest thing ever thrown from a single throw is like a tube. It's like a tube shape because it's aerodynamic and the wind cuts through it.
Speaker 3:Like you said so that makes sense. So this motorcycle has a hollow portion where it's hollow.
Speaker 2:That makes sense.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I didn't think about it, and it only has 128 horsepower.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I didn't think about it, and it only has 128 horsepower.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and it's freaking flying, but because it's so aerodynamic it doesn't need a giant engine.
Speaker 1:Yeah, now can you imagine it's electric. I think, right, isn't it electric Now?
Speaker 3:can you imagine the world's fastest motorcycle if they redesigned it to do that? So right now, if I remember correctly it's the Kawasaki Now, if I remember correctly it's the Kawasaki, it's the Kawasaki H2.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the Kawasaki H2 is right now the fastest street bike that you can buy. I think this bike is going to blow them motherfuckers away.
Speaker 2:So that Kawasaki Now I'm not talking about what they take to the Salt Land Flats to try to mock that it is all tweaked out. This one, you buy it at the Kawasaki dealership, right, and this thing is one of the fastest bikes right now on the planet. And this thing has the wing on the side Right. The mirrors are shaped, you know, so that this way they will keep the downforce on the front wheel so that you won't do wheelie, but there's still crazy torque With this and this thing is doing like 230 miles an hour right off the showroom floor. Really, that's nice. Yes, I would love to have one, bro. These things are like 55.
Speaker 1:So that's a machine.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, it's not Anyway.
Speaker 1:so with this bike, with this bike, go ahead this bike. With this bike, with this bike, go ahead this bike With this bike. It cuts that out, right, because it pushes the front end down. Right, because it's aerodynamic and the thing is just Right. I think it's twice the speed isn't it Right?
Speaker 2:So then, what we're saying, guys, is that Can you imagine? That it's the wheels and there's a void.
Speaker 1:So the motor is sitting lower the there's a hole in between. The gas tank usually goes length of the motorcycle and it's also electric and it's electric it goes in between right where basically your crotch is yeah, right, right, right.
Speaker 2:So then you're sitting on that's amazing.
Speaker 1:I saw that. I was like I gotta send this to you guys.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and it explains in the video. Right, because at anything over 50 miles an hour, your biggest problem isn't speed or the power of the engine, it's the wind you're fighting so you cut out I think it's what it said 70 something, 70%, I think it was, of wind resistance.
Speaker 2:I think you're right and you're literally like you're part of the bike, so once you tuck down, so any bikers, you're flying bro, when you tuck down and you get behind it your body is now part of it.
Speaker 1:Do you have music playing when you do that?
Speaker 2:yeah, you have music in there. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know anybody right now, personally, that doesn't have some kind of music playing while they're riding while they're riding. Yeah, yeah, I would.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, bro, listen. You know what's weird, though, when people have the external speaker like that's weird when people pull up and it's like I'm like holy shit, those are cruisers, though, right.
Speaker 2:Those are cruisers, you know, on that kind of thing. But even them, like still, it's still music playing and it becomes a showpiece, it's only a problem.
Speaker 3:I guess you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:But you can still hear it when you're on the highway, but it's a showpiece, like you know. It's one of those things of like like when you soup up your car and you put the crazy rims and you put the big system so that then that's what it arrives, so that then that's what it is on the bike now with the baggers, the bike is called a bagger that was like the coolest.
Speaker 3:I remember when, Like that's something I had to get right away. I wanted a subwoofer in my truck.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dude, it's fucking great. Now they come with subwoofers.
Speaker 3:Such a dork I was, I had my grandfather's car that he handed me down.
Speaker 1:Oh, dude what kind of car, what kind of car, what kind of car was?
Speaker 2:it? What kind of car was it?
Speaker 1:1988 Pontiac Grand Am Bro it's like a I know that car I hated that car.
Speaker 2:That car is so fugly, yo dude. That is the funny. Then you just put that was those cars in the 80s, when they just shrunk the size of them but like 80s was like that was.
Speaker 3:You know, that's the thing we should talk about is, like you know, the stigma about american cars right, they were big, is that? No, that they're shitty? Yes, because in the 80s they started making these cars that were like, built like shit on purpose. You know what I mean. Like they were like, built like, they're just like cheap and smaller, right, and they like they have problems yeah.
Speaker 1:I guess, and then it, and but like and then you had these like foreign cars that were like beasts, like the 19.
Speaker 3:Think about how many 1992 camrys are probably still on the road today yeah, yeah, that thing is a beast yeah and they were. You know, they were the american car companies in the 80s were making cars that like after like 10 years they were just, yeah, falling apart the fuck apart yeah or less than that you know, yeah, just like, but that was just, it was.
Speaker 2:Any any American made vehicle at the time is what would the I guess to say what the consensus was. Yeah yeah, you had the Hondas, you had the Nissans, you had the Toyotas and those things. Like you said, they're still. You could find a few of them still driving around and whatnot. It's crazy.
Speaker 1:It's insane. Every once in a while you'd see a crazy old car.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 1:Nice, Lincoln and Oldsmobile Dude bro.
Speaker 2:Cadillac yes, I saw a Lincoln the other day. I was like oh, you know, I loved that Matter, did you?
Speaker 1:I texted you, or what did my wife? My mother had a Chevy. It was a great car. Oh man, I loved this thing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, it was a tank.
Speaker 1:It was nice though.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Chevy Cavalier, I think it was.
Speaker 2:Maybe Could be, I'm not sure. Maybe. Yeah, that, because I had a number of different cars, but she had a night. That car was great. It was big. Yeah, yeah, also had dodge start. Yeah, man, it was brown with tan seats. Yeah, see, no, my mom, we had a dachshund, a little dachshund is what we had stick shift.
Speaker 3:Wow yeah, little orange, big cars was that, was that like no? Did they have the? No, the three on the tree? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2:It wasn't that old, it was on the floor.
Speaker 3:It was four on the floor, man, four on the floor, four on the floor, four on the floor, yeah, nah, on the tree, you know, when you had the stick shift on the column?
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, because you it was the same thing as doing it on the floor. What the hell was that?
Speaker 3:You just had to find the spot on the column, just like you know certain cars, like you know, the shifters like my work van the shifters on the column.
Speaker 2:No, it's not it's a Nissan.
Speaker 3:Oh, they still got it up there on the vans.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you guys really talking about that well, because it was one of those things, like you know, work, that's that car shit, you know right yeah, they a lot of work vans.
Speaker 3:The shifter is still on the yeah, it's not.
Speaker 2:It's not manual, but it's. You know it's still automatic. Yeah, because at work you guys got them still that I'm still on the column, right, but they do have the manual, if you want, on Nissan, it's on the Nissan. Vans, really yeah.
Speaker 3:You could use the manual plus and minus the automatic. Wait on the column yeah yeah, yeah, it's on the column. No shit, it's just a plus and minus.
Speaker 1:Chevy Caprice, caprice Classic.
Speaker 2:Caprice oh my God, that's a cop car bro yeah, that was the only that was a cop car, yeah they had that car. It was nice. Dude, those cars. I would love to be able to get one at an auction. Oh man. I'm not gonna lie with the police package, I would just get the car, forget a.
Speaker 1:I don't want a police car.
Speaker 2:Oh, I want the police package. Nah, I don't want. Yeah, hell, yeah, bro, cause I wanna those cars. So it's the engine, it's what? So the reason why they call it the police package is because the engine, the suspension, all that stuff was a little bit better, right, supposedly it was made to do that. Right, it sat for hours. Like you see, they say you gotta be careful with those because there's more idle hours on it than drive than miles. Because they sat in it thousand miles and actually the hours that it was on was like a hundred thousand miles, right, if that makes any sense. So yeah, but that would be a good car to have to a Caprice that was a good car.
Speaker 1:That thing rode nice and pallets were groovy too. That was a big car too. I grew up with that. In my life we always had Lincoln station wagons or some kind of Ford station wagon. Yeah, we had a Ford van. We had a club wagon.
Speaker 2:Well, what's your favorite car? Like your favorite car In life.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't have a favorite car. I don't think. I think if I were to go back I would get. It would definitely be the Cadillac yeah, the one that I wanted back in the day. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 3:You, I, okay, you, I don't have a favorite car, really.
Speaker 2:I mean, well, we'll say this, we'll do like the favorite old school car, old school, old school, come on, not the new ones. You know what?
Speaker 3:I would have to say, like the old school. Really, I'm trying to think of the fucking name of the car, oh my.
Speaker 2:God From where. What was it on? Was that fucking? What's the name of the car? Oh my god, from where, what was?
Speaker 3:it on? Was it in the movie? Or yeah, the, what do you call it? The old Dodge Chargers?
Speaker 1:oh, wow, okay, how about Dodge Darts the Darts? Yeah, those were the worst cars ever, yeah but it's a nice looking car.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it still was a bad car yeah no, my favorite shit, bro. I could have like to get it all reset. They'll set up, redone or whatever is a Lincoln, because I love the suicide doors. I like Lincoln too, like the 70s Lincolns. That's cool With the back doors.
Speaker 1:Lsc Isn't that one.
Speaker 2:Well, that's what I was trying to say before. So there was a car that was in the movie called the Car and it was like a killer car and so that, and that that was a 1971, a 1971 Lincoln Mark VII, I believe, is what it was. That car is freaking amazing. I love that. Look, I love that. Look, Even the convertibles. You know just, I love that. What were you going to say? I'm sorry, Tom.
Speaker 3:No, which is the one that was like, because I didn't know. It was like considered like one of the top luxury cars in the country. When they had it on Pawn Stars it was a Lincoln Continental. Is that what?
Speaker 2:you're saying that's what I'm saying yeah, that's it?
Speaker 1:Did it have suicide doors on it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like those were yeah, suicide doors is the shit man and like those ones were like top of the luxury right, yeah, they don't make those anymore.
Speaker 2:Those are freaking so sick, oh my God.
Speaker 3:They don't make like super luxury American cars.
Speaker 2:They do, but they're different now, right, it's just way different, so it depends on what sport they're looking at.
Speaker 3:I'm talking like Maybach level, like an American car that makes like yeah, a Cadillac, though Like a too.
Speaker 1:Nah, bro, yeah, and Lincoln, and Lincoln, yes, Cadillac Buick.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they still have those man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it definitely has gone down Right.
Speaker 3:I would say no, but I mean, dude, they don't have like a like you can compare them to Mercedes and BMW and that, but I mean they don't have, like the elite class car, that's like the like, like that could be, like. This is our american bentley, this is our american rolls royce gotcha you know what I mean I get it. Yeah, it's closest because the get away from making cars now continental from back in the day. Was that kind of car?
Speaker 3:yeah that was like an elite class. Yeah, this is, like you know, a three hundred thousand dollar car well, you know like that was like super luxury like a rolls royce right.
Speaker 2:Well, because the american cars stayed quote-unquote affordable, yeah, so as long as they stayed affordable, right, we could still have that. That says sort of now, here's the thing. Yeah, you have the cadillacs that are, I guess we'll say, the luxury sport car, yeah, and I guess what I'm what I'm going to call it Right, and so you know, you, bro, somebody's like the XTS, stuff like that. Those are nice. Oh, my God, bro, you could throw that nifty exhaust Because the things ride so smooth, yeah. And but ass, bro, listen, I'm not going to lie. I have a 2011 Maxima and it's a V6. And this shit is fucking pretty quick. Yo, I got behind a freaking Cadillac STS and I was like come on, get out of the fucking way, dude. I know I saw the guy look in his side mirror and he just like boom, he was gone and I'm like I like to catch up to this guy I mean, you know, he just took off so quick.
Speaker 2:I'm like get the fuck out of here. I couldn't believe, I'm not, that he took it that fast. You know well, he just took off that fast, right. I mean it wasn't like we were doing 130 down the highway, it wasn't nothing like that, but we went from like you know 65 to like you know 90 and he was just gone and I'm like throwing him the bird like whatever man, whatever. You know 90. Wow, and he was just gone and I'm like throwing him the bird like whatever man, whatever. You know what I mean. And Maxima's a pretty. You know they're fast cars.
Speaker 2:Max is a good car, yeah, but dude that. So yeah, the Cadillac, I think would be the closest, Closest.
Speaker 3:To what you're saying see the it's good too. You ever see that video with the rolls royce when they test this to show you what it's like for rolls royce to like drive over a speed bump at 40 miles an hour yeah and you wouldn't even feel it.
Speaker 2:It's like.
Speaker 3:It's like a ran over like a like if you ran over like a rock yeah, it'd be like a pebble yeah yeah, it didn't even move.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it didn't even like barely, you, barely right. Yeah, that's a car speed bump yeah, not even like a speed bump, a Rolls Royce, but see, that's like a super yeah but that's what they do with the Bendy's those cars are handmade yeah no factory like some dude is yeah for real.
Speaker 1:Have you ever watched these dudes? Have you ever seen it? There might be just one, who knows you never know.
Speaker 2:They got the Howard's Made and they have a special Howard's Made series of cars, yeah, yeah, and they got Ferrari, the Bentley, cadillac, porsche, and you're like whoa, like, listen, I will say all day long, I believe that some cars are just way overpriced. You know, when you watch how they're made and just all the parts that are in them, dude, with the Bentleys and the Porsches and even the Corvettes the Corvette when you see them make it and they're making it all by hand, I'm like dude, yeah, they make the Corvettes by hand.
Speaker 3:Yeah, bro, the newer ones.
Speaker 2:Oh, because not?
Speaker 1:but then too they look so much different, so different from what they were, like they're so super exotic right now, you know, like their mid-engine engine.
Speaker 2:So that means it's not quite in the trunk or up.
Speaker 1:I was in one once Mid-engine and they opened that thing up when.
Speaker 3:I was in it. Well, he has an older one, but still that thing looks a lot more. You were pinned.
Speaker 2:They do look a lot more like a I'm going to say McLaren maybe.
Speaker 3:It's not a comfortable ride. I'm saying they look more like a sport, like the ones in the 80s.
Speaker 2:Yeah, right, yeah, and you can see that it was like yeah, that's that.
Speaker 3:Vette. It's like a sports car, but it wasn't like. I guess they had to compete.
Speaker 2:They had to, because now, with all these other ones, dude, check this out One of one of the fastest production cars on the market, still to this day, right, oh, the nissan skyline. Okay, like, that's one of the fastest cars that you can buy and it's a hundred thousand dollar cloud.
Speaker 3:It's funny they they didn't have one this last time when we did our leases, but they always had like one in their show. Yeah, because they're like, you know, like a dealership gets like one or two, right, so what?
Speaker 2:happened, was they discontinued?
Speaker 2:because they're not a lot of people they stopped making, yeah, the certain body style. Okay, I think something with it that they had stopped. So don't quote me on what it was exactly. I can't remember right now because I'm having a brain fart. But they stopped making, like that right skyline thing and, for those who don't know, that's the one that paul walker used to drive in Fast and the Furious, yeah, yeah, and the hat like Dutch, yeah, the whole nifty stuff and the nitrous and whatever. So it is a super fast car, all-wheel drive Again, one of the fastest cars in production I love that car, yeah, but so now.
Speaker 3:I know yeah.
Speaker 2:So then now, with all of those you know, and, like I said, with the Ferraris and the Porsches, trying to make them affordable for people and stuff like that, that's you know, that's why Corvette was changing up how they not the only reason.
Speaker 1:Well, trying to compete. A lot of these Trying to get into the competition.
Speaker 2:Because I mean, dude, not for nothing, when you have a production car, anybody could. If you have good credit, you can go buy that $100,000 car. You know what I'm saying, right, and I know I'm just saying why haven't even like?
Speaker 1:I drove in a Corvette Crazy fast, yeah, amazing, but it wasn't very comfortable, right, right?
Speaker 2:So the skylines, the Cadillacs Sink in there, right, those cars are comfortable to get in. You can get into the skyline, like I'm saying, and you can sit in there and you're like, oh, it's a five passenger vehicle, it's a sedan, yeah Right, but it's the fastest fucking car you could buy. You get into the Cadillac and it's nice and comfortable and the ride is smooth and you's, you know, you could take it to the track and you could do, you know, a 10 second quarter mile, a nine second quarter mile. Right, you know what I'm saying. And that's why Corvette had to switch up to make them a little bit more comfortable. You know what I'm saying. And even with the Bentleys and stuff like that, bentleys are fucking is a V12. Yeah, wow, you know what I'm saying. That's a big ass car.
Speaker 3:I think their fastest one is the Continental GT. Yes, sir.
Speaker 2:And they just souped that up Last year 25, when 25, so like it was 2024. Yeah, the Continental.
Speaker 2:GT, and that thing is fast as all get out, I believe it. Jeep Cherokees they have the new Jeep Cherokees. Was it the SRTs, rts? And those things are in the quarter mile. Bro, a little bit of tweaking, and those things are in the quarter mile and they're beating vipers. They're beating dodd vipers. Yes, the SUV, that's what you put up next to one, bro, be careful, be careful, don't try to show your ass. So that thing, like if the driver I'm just saying I do, I'm a dumbass.
Speaker 2:I'm like yo they're like what right you?
Speaker 3:know, whatever I like, I like my car is paddle shifting. Yeah, I like using that. I you know what I use the most when I coming back from here. Yeah, both, both, both ways, because when you're, you know, I go through pine island, so you're down that when you come down to a turn, you get to the shift up, it's just like from what I learned from the video I'm just not going, you know 80 miles an hour, but I like doing the whole, you feel it to a turn you get to
Speaker 3:the apex you shift up.
Speaker 2:It's just like from what I learned from the video. I'm just not going, you know, 80 miles an hour, but I like doing the whole. Yeah, you feel it, bro, it's cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know, and the fun thing about paddle shifting is you like, don't even have to let go of the gas, you just leave your foot on the gas Right Like it doesn't.
Speaker 1:No, no, no.
Speaker 3:No because, it's an automatic, it's just shifting. You're controlling the timing Manual. Yeah, that's all you're doing. It's not manual, it's an automatic. You're just controlling the timing of the gears. Right right, yeah.
Speaker 2:So, instead of going down, it's like you could do that. Yeah, that's how. Wow, if you really want to get a lot of power.
Speaker 3:You, you'll go like you, you want to like yeah rev it up a little bit, shift at like 4,000.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah, 4,000, 5,000 RPMs, depending on the vehicle you know.
Speaker 1:That's if you're trying to really go. Don't want your car to really go, right, yeah, yeah, no, I don't think I want to do that, yeah.
Speaker 3:But what's the car? Because if you're going uphill, you downshift.
Speaker 2:It's counterintuitive but you downshift and it gives you more torque so you can get up the mountain, exactly so you get up the mountain, you shoot it up it's like a magnet. When he's following me home. Sometimes, bro, we're going up the hill at like 90.
Speaker 3:You can tell what I'm doing, yeah.
Speaker 2:We're going up that hill at like 90, bro, the two of you guys are doing this shit.
Speaker 3:it's so funny though, because, like, once I get to the hill, if I'm in 6th gear, I'll drop it to 5th and it just goes, or sometimes even 4th it just goes right up the hill.
Speaker 2:It's fucking weird. Tom and I have been going over that fucking mountain, bro. But if you're in an automatic.
Speaker 3:You're going to go slow because you're in a higher gear. You don't have the torque, so it's slower.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's freaking great, it's freaking hilarious. But it's the same thing on a motorcycle, you know, you turn around and you're in sixth gear, even in fifth.
Speaker 1:Imagine driving something like we described earlier about how it's so aerodynamic and you're able to go twice as fast as you were going on a normal bike.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's freaking insane Watch A normal bike.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's freaking insane Watch someone's going to invent a car with a circle. It's like almost space age, almost man. You have to wear a certain kind of suit to drive something like that.
Speaker 2:It's called a leather suit because when you hit the pavement, you could slide. Yeah, yeah, the leather's going to save you. You know what I'm saying that fast? Yeah, bro, yes, no way, I'm no bro. That's usually what happens. No, no, wait, wait, wait, all right, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. So you're going to bounce off of anything regardless. It doesn't make a difference if you're in. Where you're going to bounce off of something. The leather outfit saves you from the skidding. So it saves you from the road rash. Right, that's what the leather suit is all about, gotcha, so that no such thing as stopping, like there's nothing that you'd be able to wear that would stop the breaking of bone I was thinking more of.
Speaker 3:They did start making some non-leather stuff that's synthetic yeah, but everything I've seen is bullshit the one that I see. No is the crazy shit. Is it called super, super fabric? It's, it's fucking got. It's got like ceramic in it, but no, so it's like. So when you hit the ground, it the ceramic I mean, because it's like tile and you're just getting off of it.
Speaker 2:They're like ceramic, like yeah flakes, and I didn't know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty crazy, but see, here's the whole thing, though. So you, when you get it, but like the the elbow, I have to bet you because the biggest thing yeah, right, no, but no because I was actually I asked ai and I gave me this whole breakdown.
Speaker 3:It told me about, I forget what it's called super fabric or some shit, but it's, it's it's.
Speaker 2:Look at them now what yeah, well, I'm gonna say so when you hit the ground. Well, right now. So when you buy the leathers, the leathers are so it helps you slide.
Speaker 1:Okay, it helps you slide right, okay, it helps you.
Speaker 2:It's got the oh my God, what's it called? The super enforced hands, the glove, the elbow, the carbon fiber. You know elbows and stuff like that. So this is when you hit the ground, you're sliding. There's nothing that's going to stop you from like when you hit a wall or a curb or you hit a bump. That's going to stop you from breaking bones and such. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:That's the downside, but the same thing is like being in a car Right. That would be the downside. To go that fast on something like that, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm telling you. But you're fine, tom, it's just tap that thing, kid, get that speed in. Oh, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, Uh-oh, I think some of us See, yeah, no, but man, yeah, but if you get a motorcycle or a car. So now, right now, in cars they have the intake. Forget about motorcycles.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, Super Fabric.
Speaker 3:Yeah, super Fabric, it says so. Ai says king of abrasion resistance in motorcycle gear right now. Base textile nylon poly with microscopic ceramic plates.
Speaker 2:There you go. So they're microscopic, yeah, so they're little ones. Then it's like a bunch of penny tiles. So this way you know.
Speaker 3:Outperforms leather in many lab test situations. Also cut resistant, heat resistant and lightweight. There you go. And they also use it for tactical gear too, but not for bulletproofness. This is meant for like right like my yeah, yeah, yeah yeah see, yeah, yeah, like it was like chain mail yeah
Speaker 2:yeah, yeah. But so if we turn around and we say we put that aerodynamics into a car, so right now cars, they have the vents where the air is going through it. Yeah, for two reasons one, to cool off, like the brakes and stuff like that. Then they have it where it's also the downforce, so when they have it when you come. So now it's made that when the air is coming into the front of the car because you're going so fast, it's a channel, right, it's a channel that's going through again to help with the downforce of the vehicle. So this way you don't you know the cars and lifting up and air underneath it and stuff like that, and it makes it more aerodynamic, like you're, like you started to say, you know, to make it better handling and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:But now, what about the vehicles they have? Now, though, all right. The future, where these vehicles, you can go in the air and fly around like you're in your own little helicopter or something. There's another one that goes that you can go around, you can stop, midair and then go any way, any direction, and fly.
Speaker 2:It's amazing that they're getting to that point where these things can do that. So the last time we spoke on this, you said there's too many dummies on the road, so why would we put them in the air?
Speaker 1:No, but, no, no, but this is different. This is more where you wouldn't necessarily use it for. This is more like if you go to ride it somewhere, like you go to a certain area where it's open and you can ride it.
Speaker 3:Oh, oh oh. I'm not talking about recreational. Yeah, recreational. Like using a jet as a mode of transportation.
Speaker 2:No, it's more recreation, but it's light and it's fast.
Speaker 1:So you go somewhere where you can fly it around and you're like, and it's pretty high and it's pretty cool and you're moving. It would be pretty high to use that shit, no, but listen, that's what's that, and it's amazing how they can make it now, where you can do that. Yeah, dude, so it must look. It almost looks like things from Star Wars. Yeah, when you look at the vehicles, it's like, wow, that would be so free.
Speaker 2:It would be cool and scary all at the same time.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean we're getting there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we are.
Speaker 1:We're going to see a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2:hopefully it's going to be pretty cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, hopefully good things In retrospect, the stuff, everything we're doing now. I mean even having a podcast together. Have you ever think of having a podcast?
Speaker 1:in years. Yeah, what the fuck is a podcast?
Speaker 2:A video talk show. Right, a video talk show.
Speaker 1:A video talk show. Hi, I'm Lewis Crawford, tom Ramage and my friend Kenny yeah yeah yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2:So then now we never would have like right now we would say not right, lewis Crawford, kenny Cobb, yeah, yeah, yeah, there you go. So then now we never would have like right now we would say not.
Speaker 3:Lewis Crawford, Kenny Cobb and Tom Ramage at the morning zoo.
Speaker 2:Yeah right, Exactly, Exactly bro, but, like you know, this is the stuff that that, like you know the celebrity DJs, or you know radio DJs, Of course that this, this is the stuff they were talking about. These are the things that they were doing. You know, when they had those little shows on, like Sunday mornings and whatnot, that you know we would look for the top 40 or whatever Right, Little shit. This is what they did. This is what they were doing. You know what I mean. There was a beginning.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Now we are in, they have laid it out for us to be able to be these guys and it just keeps growing and it keeps getting better.
Speaker 1:We talked about AI in the 90s and then before that.
Speaker 3:but we didn't picture it being in everybody's pocket.
Speaker 2:Yes Well, the computer the whole thing with the computer, the phones, yeah, yeah, but you know what's funny.
Speaker 3:Control I used to work at a pizzeria and there was this tech guy.
Speaker 2:I don't know which part Tricks the matrix when I worked I worked in the nineties, I used to work for his pizzeria.
Speaker 3:I know we're almost. Uh, we're almost out of time, uh, and we had my. The guy who owned the pizzeria always had satellite TV and some. You know I can make a card for you where it'll give you all the channels.
Speaker 3:So he did that, but this guy was this guy, he would talk to us and he's like, yeah, he's like you're gonna see, he's like in about like this is late 90s, like 99, 2000,. He's like you're gonna see, about 10, 15 years everybody's gonna have computers in their pockets. Why would you have a pocket computer?
Speaker 1:And then and then I realized the phone is a computer, it's a mini computer he's like, yeah, he goes.
Speaker 3:Well, his computer is going to be, you know, it's crazy enough to fit in your pocket that's what we have smartphone is a computer.
Speaker 2:It is.
Speaker 3:I mean when you think about it back then from that perspective. We don't call them computers we didn't see it.
Speaker 1:On my side, we could just see what that would be. Well, we did, but it wasn't necessarily like this.
Speaker 3:Isn't that funny how we went to that name. It's like smartphone and now it's just device.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we started off with the Star Trek flip phone. Yeah, do-de-do-de, yeah, do-de-do-de. Scotty, scotty, beam me up Ha-ha-ha yeah. Now, if we can get that that's not something I think it would have, but just the whole concept of what it stands for then yes, I think one day, hopefully.
Speaker 3:I think we talked about this before. The thing that would work is like a ripple, where you can bend time and space and walk through it, break up your molecules and everything back together.
Speaker 2:That would not happen. Almost every sci-fi show we've ever watched is a different kind of quote unquote beaming up. But they started it. No, no, no, You're right, A million percent.
Speaker 1:Star Trek was the first one to yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, actually Star Wars doesn't even have any of that shit. You got to actually drive things.
Speaker 1:No, but no, yeah. But in that sense that's where Star Wars is right, because it's more realistic, because they're going from ship to but they had to figure out a way. I think Gene Roddemy said that we had to figure out a way to get them from the planet to the ship and not use the smaller ships to get on the other transports.
Speaker 1:So that's what they did. They came up with that idea with the transporter, yes, you know, and they just that little sound, but everybody thought it was cool as shit though it was, I mean I did, I don't know. But maybe many years from now, they might be able to do something like that. Who knows? Yeah, I don't know. But I think more what you say where you're bending space and you're able to walk through into it.
Speaker 3:Right Making that little ripple, like you said, that little thing Kind of like the folding of the piece of paper to get to one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is it? The show, the Gate Is.
Speaker 1:Is that what it was called?
Speaker 2:Stargate.
Speaker 1:Stargate Stargate.
Speaker 2:Yeah, stargate yeah.
Speaker 1:But so now. So thank you so much. First of all, I like to say yes For sitting with us and just allowing us to just bullshit and say whatever we want, yes man. So thank you so much for listening through that Yup and I hope you enjoyed it.
Speaker 2:Yes, so appreciate you guys clicking, just tagging us, tagging everybody else on it. Let them know that we're here. We try to do big things. Try to do big things. So thank you. With that being said, love, peace and hair grease. Live long and prosper.
Speaker 3:And stay. Weird Holla.
