The amazing people at the Core Institute. Life can throw you a curveball now and again. One day you're trucking along, feeling great. Next day your dog smashes into your head and knocks you cold. Or like a KUPD listener told me this week, his dog did a sprint across the backyard directly into the side of his wife's leg and blew her knee up. She needed that need to get fixed and fixed right. Two years later, she's running like she used to again. And it's all thanks to the Core Institute. I went through it, too. And you can get rid of your pain and start saying yes, I can to all the things you want to do.
Adam Farrar
And.
Larry McFeely
And all you have to do is trust the experts at the Core Institute head there right now. The Core Institute.com youm thought that was funny?
Brady
You were laughing like a hyena when he said it.
Unknown
What the hell is wrong with you?
Larry McFeely
Abortion. Adam, Thoughts? Yours? Yeah, it's late term. It's late term. But don't you think Adam Farrar is here? He's at Desert Ridge Improv tonight, tomorrow and Sunday. But here's what I'm going to tell you about Adam Farrar. He ain't here for you.
Adam Farrar
Nope.
Larry McFeely
You're just here to do the. The yuck yucks a couple of times.
Adam Farrar
Yes.
Larry McFeely
Got the free flight. The free room. And you're here for you this weekend?
Adam Farrar
Actually, I'm here for you.
Larry McFeely
Well, and us.
Adam Farrar
Yes.
Larry McFeely
I'll. I'll throw our.
Adam Farrar
I heard about the death wobble and the Jeep. Make sure everything's okay.
Larry McFeely
I'm okay. It is weird, though. The death wobble is crazy.
Adam Farrar
You be. Do the listeners know the death wobble?
Larry McFeely
Yeah. Is there any other cars?
Adam Farrar
I've gotten a speed wobble. I got a speed wobble in an F12 Berlinetta in a Ferrari at about 188.
Larry McFeely
You just lose your mind?
Adam Farrar
Well, more than that.
Larry McFeely
Was that on Top Gear.
Adam Farrar
I'm going, I'm. I'm in an F12 Berlin. A gorgeous car.
Larry McFeely
Yeah.
Adam Farrar
Top speed of that car is like. I think it's either 211, 216, I gotta check.
Larry McFeely
Good God.
Adam Farrar
So I'm talking to the camera, I'm flying down, flying down the road. And around 140, your car starts getting light.
Larry McFeely
You can feel it lifting.
Adam Farrar
So it's lifting a little bit, but I'm still talking and babbling and everything. Around188, my ass sensed a little bit of a speed wobble.
Larry McFeely
Oh, boy.
Adam Farrar
If you don't know what it is, it's like, hey, what's that?
Larry McFeely
Yeah.
Adam Farrar
At a buck 88. So I lifted off the accelerator. When I, when I felt it, I lifted and, and the car just went, oh, take him away.
Larry McFeely
He bores me. It drove you?
Adam Farrar
Yeah, it drove me. But that's what it is. Because once that catches, a wobble catches and you lose control, the back end comes.
Larry McFeely
It becomes kinetic energy. And you feel it like, like you feel it's different than an alignment thing. Your car starts losing control faster and harder with every rotation of the wheel.
Adam Farrar
And the more you try to correct.
Larry McFeely
The more worse it gets.
Adam Farrar
It's like God saying, I want that.
Larry McFeely
Yes, you belong to me now. Yeah, the. The weird thing was I had mine happen on the 51. I was on the freeway about 45, and just a small bump sets it off and it started to shake. I'm like, oh, my alignment's off. And then it was like, no, it's not. And this isn't getting better. And it's left and right and you. Luckily I didn't try to fix it right. Just get my hands on the wheel and slowly let off gas. Yeah. Because you can feel the, the whole thing's not going to get better if you speed through or break.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
And luckily I got smart with it. But it was horrifying.
Adam Farrar
Yes.
Larry McFeely
They call it the death wobble.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
And everybody goes, ahaha. It's a big deal.
Brady
Oh, you got that.
Larry McFeely
Oh, you got the death wobble. I had that once. I'm like, death wobble. It's not like the, you know, the minor inconvenience wobble. It's the death wobble. And they're like, yeah, you'll die from that if you do the wrong thing. And to get right over to the dealership and they've had it for a.
Adam Farrar
Week and they come out like this, go, thank you. Listen, don't tell mom.
Larry McFeely
Don't let Anybody know? And they even said it's like I had wobbling on the freeway. You got the death wobble. The dealership even calls it the death wobble. They're not even trying to dress it up. Yeah. So. But it's fine. They're worth it.
Brady
First time I got rear ended in the Pinto, runabout exploded.
Larry McFeely
That happens. I mean, yeah, the folks over at Ford are like, let's just keep this between each other. But Adam is here this weekend. You can go to Desert Ridge, improv.com grab tickets. And you can also probably see him wandering around Barrett Jackson. You were there. Yeah. Brady ran into you yesterday.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
And maybe stalking was involved.
Adam Farrar
Well, I can't get enough of Brady.
Larry McFeely
That's what I was going to say. You knew we would be there.
Adam Farrar
I was sitting there going, is he dead yet? Brady, I fixed the Jeep. Is he dead yet? Now you're mine.
Larry McFeely
Is it?
Brady
We got more work to do, Adam. There's more work to do.
Adam Farrar
There's more. Yes.
Larry McFeely
Every year in January comes and loosens up another nut on my car. Yeah. Hoping that Brady can. Each crank. Hoping that Brady and him can be together for a while. Did you.
Adam Farrar
You saw something? We saw the. The Batmobile.
Brady
The Batmobile.
Larry McFeely
Now, did you guys. Did Brady bother you for a while or was it just a hot talk?
Adam Farrar
We had a lovely time.
Larry McFeely
Did you stay together?
Adam Farrar
Yeah, we did.
Brady
We.
Adam Farrar
We talked over the. I didn't. I didn't come outside.
Larry McFeely
Right. Oh, there was a rope between you.
Brady
I kept the barrier.
Adam Farrar
I was. I was shooting inside. I said, brady. I hugged him like, don't get outside the road.
Larry McFeely
Yeah. And did you have a signal for someone else to go? Hey, it's been nice seeing you. Gotta go. Code where it was. Did some. Yeah. But nobody came to go. Hey, Adam. Scrambled eggs. Yeah, scrambled eggs. I guess you gotta get to breakfast.
Adam Farrar
We're laughing a lot. We had a good day with your daughter. She wanted a.
Larry McFeely
Well, it's always funny to watch Brady try to climb a velvet rope. So I'm sure the laughs were.
Brady
Where is that the. The other. The Corvette? That. That was like. Was it four people in the front seat?
Adam Farrar
Yeah, they got. They. They. There's a.
Brady
They customize a Corvette.
Adam Farrar
It comes up. There's two motors.
Larry McFeely
I know. Those are the ones where I walk around. That's dumb.
Adam Farrar
They got the bat boat there.
Larry McFeely
That's what Brady.
Adam Farrar
He sold the bat boat yesterday.
Larry McFeely
They sold it?
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
That poor guy has got. There's so much buyer's remorse in someone's.
Adam Farrar
Driveway in the Bat boat.
Larry McFeely
In the bat.
Adam Farrar
That most buyer remorse. The wife goes like, what?
Larry McFeely
What did you do? Hear me out in the wall. How many times after Barrett Jackson has hear me out? The first thing that happened.
Adam Farrar
This is a collector's eye. I and I boug. I bought you the catwoman mask. Put this on. I got an idea for our anniversary.
Larry McFeely
In order to know why you don't care about our future. I'm the only one investing.
Adam Farrar
I'm trying to get things for we can do together.
Brady
And then the husband that bought the. Is it called the mud cut? You know, the dog. The dog mobile from dumb. And that was there.
Larry McFeely
Oh, I didn't see. And that's the thing. Like, there is. This is proof. Guys are just cooler than girls. If a girl went out and came home with the bat boat, she wouldn't.
Adam Farrar
Have to open the door.
Larry McFeely
Hear me out.
Adam Farrar
Yeah, that's my wife.
Larry McFeely
Be like, what did you just do? I bought the effing bat boat. And you'd be in the front hugging. Your relationship would be so much better. Yeah, but she would never do that. Your wife's always going to have logic on her side with that bat boat purchase that we don't have. We need this. Yeah, we.
Brady
Yeah, the bat sell the bat copter. You know, the old one there, it was transported over, and on the way over, a rock hit the front bubble.
Larry McFeely
Glassed it, and it broke it.
Brady
So they can't sell it. And we were saying, like, where you.
Larry McFeely
Can'T go, you get up to $375 back if you qualify. And they'll handle the insurance. This is easy. What do you think? Do you think Adam west had insurance? I God knows believe I have a broken windshield.
Adam Farrar
I'm in.
Larry McFeely
Good. I have to.
Brady
Holy deductible.
Larry McFeely
I'm on the phone with flo. Robin. Yeah. I don't know. So you enjoyed it this year. Do you rank them year to year, the Barrett Jackson that you're here for?
Adam Farrar
It's just fun. It's just I've been to so many. This is my favorite. The biggest. The big one here in Arizona.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, it's huge.
Adam Farrar
Yeah, it's huge.
Larry McFeely
But does it bore you? No. After a few years, like, you start okay cars.
Adam Farrar
No, but you look. Oh, look at that. Look what they did to that.
Larry McFeely
Yeah. See, I look at some of them, and I'm just like, ah.
Adam Farrar
Done.
Larry McFeely
Yeah. I don't know why you being a pessimist. I'm not a pessimist. I'm a realist.
Adam Farrar
A realist? Yeah. By the Way the Jeep got to death while I was like, I can't take this guy.
Larry McFeely
The Jeep is trying to kill himself.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
I'm taking them with me. This is enough. I'm doing society a favor. But, no, I just. I find it to be. It's the dichotomy. It's the. It's the paradox of choice. There's too much to look at. Yeah. And so eventually, I just start making it all the same. And then I start going, this is all stupid.
Adam Farrar
So your mind gives you an exit plan.
Larry McFeely
Yeah. Immediately, like, I look, I'm like, oh, cool. And I'll find, like, two or three cool things. And then everything from there on is just kind of the same. And I just try to hurry through.
Adam Farrar
I just love what. The artistry of what these guys do. Like, there was a 61 Corvette, but they. They put the. They took a 58. Because the 58 had the bezels around the chrome bezels around the license. There's little. Little things like that around the headlights.
Larry McFeely
Details.
Adam Farrar
Yeah. I love all that.
Larry McFeely
It's like when construction guys notice, like, little cuts in a column or something.
Adam Farrar
You'd never see what he did with that crown molding.
Larry McFeely
That guy's an artist.
Adam Farrar
He's a freaking honest. That ain't a miter. That's a thing of beauty right there.
Larry McFeely
Yeah. I don't see it.
Brady
The other thing. All the TV show cars, you know, going through them, I'm like, oh, there's. I thought it was Magnum P.I. what? 308 Ferrari.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Brady
I'm looking at it, and it says. No, this was in the movie Vacation.
Larry McFeely
Oh.
Adam Farrar
It was Christie Brinkley's carinkley's car.
Brady
And it's a Fiero converted.
Larry McFeely
It is.
Adam Farrar
Yes.
Brady
So I couldn't tell the difference at first. And you look at it. They made it into a. To look like a Ferrari for the movie. It was just a Fiero, and it sold for 20 grand.
Larry McFeely
So a rich. A rich gay guy got it.
Brady
Yes.
Larry McFeely
Oh, my God. You get a Fiero and it's fooling your friends.
Adam Farrar
There you go.
Larry McFeely
That's. Wow. Yeah. I wouldn't see those things. I just look at. Oh, I got. And then I feel like I got ripped off. I don't appreciate it enough.
Adam Farrar
Okay.
Larry McFeely
That's my thing. I don't. I go there without the appreciation of some of the workmen and the craftsmanship. And I look at it and, well, that's neat. And I feel like I'm doing a disservice to the whole Barrett Jackson By a guy who kind of just goes neat.
Adam Farrar
Maybe you let a little joy in your heart, things will change.
Larry McFeely
Why do that? It's all a disappointment.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
At this point, it's all a Fiero dressed as a Ferrari. Fine. But so what? That's life. That's a metaphor.
Adam Farrar
It's okay.
Larry McFeely
Metaphors, just.
Brady
And that's how it goes for a lot of those guys that build the custom. You know, they got 800 hours of their life in this car, and they.
John Holmberg
Sell it for 20 grand.
Larry McFeely
Yeah.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
I think Trump put a stop to that whole Fiero dressing like a Ferrari thing, though.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
We don't think we're allowed to do that. We don't think that's it. It's either a Ferrari, a Ferrari or Fiero. There's no in between. What else going on in your world?
Adam Farrar
I got. Well, first of all, I want to thank. I got friends at LA county fire because my house was like. Right. Where were you? I was 11. I was six blocks from the mandatory.
Larry McFeely
Evacuation in Pasadena or Santa Monica. So you're.
Adam Farrar
And I was. I wasn't even home. I was in. I was shooting in New York doing an episode. I just shot an episode of Elsbeth.
Larry McFeely
Yeah.
Adam Farrar
Yeah. Which, by the way, thank you for saying yeah. Yeah.
Larry McFeely
It's on CBS.
Adam Farrar
20 minutes. Trying to get my mother to say that. Right. You're right. Elizabeth. Yeah. Oh, send me a tape. My mother. So she calls my brother. Yes. It goes, my brother Johnny. My brother Johnny goes. Mom says you're working with Queen Elizabeth. She's dead. What the hell are you doing with Queen Elizabeth? So then it's not Queen Elizabeth. I gotta go. Then I get a text from my niece. Are you on the crown? Yes.
Larry McFeely
Look for. It's heavy makeup. You won't recognize it.
Adam Farrar
Just stop it.
Larry McFeely
Yeah.
Adam Farrar
Homburg's morning sickness.
Larry McFeely
Disgusting. They say things that are horrible.

Dick Toledo
Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with Wayne.
Larry McFeely
From Amco and Wayne, now that it's getting Warmer. I turned on the AC in my car and the air's blowing kind of cool, but it really smells like a basement. What can I do about that? Larry, your car's AC system should be checked and serviced every year. Plus, replacing the cab filter helps the air blow strong and takes away any nasty smell. Nice.
Dick Toledo
Is that a big deal to get done?
Larry McFeely
Not at all. It takes about an hour and in most cases we can do it while you wait. That's awesome. I'll say. We're Amco.
Dick Toledo
Google Amco for your nearest location.
Larry McFeely
That's Amco Double A MCO transmissions and.
Adam Farrar
A whole lot more.

Larry McFeely
Holmberg's morning sickness.
Adam Farrar
So. So there's all that confusion. So I'm shoot, I'm on set. I have no idea what's going on. Phone's off, I'm working. Then I turn my phone on. After lunch, I get a text from my friend. My wife's name is Alex. If she needs a place to stay, she can come here. And I'm like, what are you talking about?
Larry McFeely
Someone asked me or something.
Adam Farrar
We did have a disagreement before I left, but I didn't think it was that bad. And what's she doing calling you? Like, I can't take this son of a bitch another minute.
Brady
No.
Adam Farrar
So I called my wife and I like, honey, what's going On. I didn't want to bother you at work. Honey. Calling means saying, where's the big extension card? One thing that's an inconvenience.
Larry McFeely
The city's on fire.
Adam Farrar
Cities on flames with rock and roll and Blue Oyster cults. Taking our house is something I need to know did.
Larry McFeely
She had to evacuate. She had to get out. Yeah. Our boss lost his house.
Adam Farrar
Oh, my God.
Larry McFeely
In the palace. Yeah. It's crazy. It's like a really weird thing when it's that close and you see the pictures I got.
Adam Farrar
I'll show you pictures on my phone. She took a picture from the roof. You could see the cone, the yellow part of the fire.
Larry McFeely
That's how close it was. Yeah. I can't even imagine. Sorry.
Adam Farrar
Staying. Yeah. Well, you're sticking. I haven't been home yet. I was in New York. We wrapped up. Then I shot a special. I shot a stand up special on Long island, where I'm from, and then I came right here.
Larry McFeely
Yeah.
Adam Farrar
So we haven't been home yet.
Larry McFeely
We've been worried that this is going to drive more Los Angelenos our direction. So I'm.
Adam Farrar
I'm here.
Larry McFeely
I know. And I'm trying to. And we're trying to stop that. So my thought is that we could put like a small Confederate flag on our flag.
Adam Farrar
Right.
Larry McFeely
And just kept. Have them go, well, we'll just keep driving to Texas. We just do one thing we don't ever mention. It was like, do you know that they have the Confederate flag? And I think that's a good idea. You guys can just keep going through. This place is all full up.
Adam Farrar
I want to thank you for your open heart.
Larry McFeely
No, no, no. I'm sorry for your problems. I'm sorry for all that.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
But like Elon Musk. But don't come here. You can just keep going. Just keep going over there. We'll give you directions with our right arm. This direction, please.
Adam Farrar
I'm not. I'm not. I'm pointing towards Poland.
Larry McFeely
Texas is over there.
Adam Farrar
Go to Poland. Go to Poland. It'll be ours in nine days.
Larry McFeely
Exactly. Right. No, I just. I feel bad for everybody because I. I don't. I wouldn't want to live in a place that can burst into flames, have earthquakes. And now they're worried that the rain's gonna happen.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
And mudslides are gonna bury everything that's there.
Adam Farrar
We had all that rain and that fed the vegetation. It all grew back and it's like. It was that story.
Larry McFeely
Yeah. Everybody's got a mess. It's Everybody's fault. I don't understand why everybody's blaming one side. Everybody was at fault for this mess because nobody paid attention until it got terrible and then they're pointing fingers. It's terrible. I would move out of there in a heartbeat. I've said this a million times. If I. If you look at that window right there and see Camelback Mountain. And I said, adam, I'm going to show you a house here and you're going to love it. You're like, wow, this is a great place. I'm like, now I do have to warn you that every year in August, there's a chance that mountain's going to get up and start spinning around, stomp out some stuff. We never know what direction it's going to go. But do you still want the house?
Adam Farrar
Do I get a Jeep?
Larry McFeely
Wear that with a brand new. A brand new front end?
Adam Farrar
Well, I would live here now, but I've been here in the summer.
Larry McFeely
It's fine.
Adam Farrar
No, it's not.
Larry McFeely
It's survival.
Adam Farrar
It's Mars.
Larry McFeely
But you know what? It's hotter in la.
Adam Farrar
What?
Larry McFeely
Yeah. Our houses. Yeah. Dry heat. You know, it's hotter in Los Angeles.
Adam Farrar
So is nuclear fallout to dry heat.
Larry McFeely
Because half Los Angeles is the sun now. So it's just constantly on fire.
Adam Farrar
I'm by the beach.
Larry McFeely
The people houses on the beach burned.
Adam Farrar
I'm 10 degrees. You gotta find the bad and everything, don't you?
Larry McFeely
Pretty bad. How do you find good on beach houses burning?
Adam Farrar
I'm at the beach. Well, some of them burnt down. Well, some of them didn't. Let's look at that.
Larry McFeely
But that can't be your argument. Some didn't.
Adam Farrar
Well, but I've been here in the summer. What's your argument? It's walk it off.
Larry McFeely
I survived it. Don't stare at this summer.
Adam Farrar
You guys have those in the summertime. You got those, those little misters like your lizards coming from one hot rock, Right?
Larry McFeely
Well, we just. We just were prepared.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
Why would you take that, Los Angeles? Why wouldn't you guys?
Brady
But then we could go up an hour and a half north.
Larry McFeely
And this is why we don't want your LA ideas. Your ladies are all like, we don't prepare for anything. Why do you have misters? Because it's too hot to live here.
Adam Farrar
These sons of bitches change time.
Larry McFeely
We ain't doing it. It's true, too. We don't need you thinking that's a good idea.
Adam Farrar
We don't need you to think that's a good idea.
Larry McFeely
We want it hot and light until nine. Yes. And don't start screwing with my clocks. I can't redo my phone. That's impossible. Does it itself.
Adam Farrar
I got. I had a bunch of conference calls and zooms and I'm like, I'm in Arizona. Oh, what time is that? Now we're doing log rhythms, trying to figure everything out.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, I just. I feel terrible for everybody that happened to. But I would. I would not want to live in a place that has that much trouble.
Adam Farrar
Okay, so then where are you going to go? I mean, we.
Larry McFeely
Well, not here, first off. Confederacy and the whole arm thing. All right, that's out. Texas is good. They got beaches.
Adam Farrar
Flat, hot.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, but not on fire.
Adam Farrar
That's true.
Larry McFeely
And then not raining and then flooding into the ocean.
Adam Farrar
Yeah, Jerry Jones, that is true.
Larry McFeely
Okay? You always got to go to the negative. Now you're just like me now. Yeah. Why didn't. You can answer this for Los Angeles? Like, they kept saying the reservoirs were dry. Yeah, but I'm not a genius or anything, but I'm pretty sure there's a big body of water, like, right next to where this was going on. Yeah, use that.
Adam Farrar
But. Okay. Do I look like Aquaman? Oh, no.
Larry McFeely
I mean, they're dipping into reservoirs with helicopters.
Brady
They were dipping in. Into the ocean. What are we talking about? Reservoirs and people's pools.
Larry McFeely
I saw, too.
Brady
The problem with the ocean water is on the vegetation. After you put out the fire, they say the saline stuff and the other stuff in the water.
Larry McFeely
So what?
Brady
Won't let things grow back.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, Brady, if your house is on fire and I bring salt water to the party, like. No, no, no, we'll wait. I want my grass to grow. But they're trying to figure it out. No worry about Roundup. I mean, come on. Just. Just let it go. Let it go.
Adam Farrar
I'm starving. But no msg.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, no msg.
Adam Farrar
Yeah, nobody.
Brady
Way too much.
Larry McFeely
Nobody in Africa ever complains when we drop down MSG out of the planes onto the people. They eat everything we drop.
Adam Farrar
Does this have salt?
Larry McFeely
I can't. It makes me. I'm lactose intolerant. Nobody in Africa is not drinking the milk or eating the cheese. They're taking it all. Yeah, he makes a good point. I don't want to hear about your salt water issues. When your house is on fire, you can have. You have artificial turf.
Adam Farrar
The Canadian, the Canadians. The planes came down, they flew down, they scooped up the water. I love all that.
Larry McFeely
Oh, it's amazing.
Adam Farrar
Look at what you can do.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, it's Incredible. But then they're like, other reservoirs are dry. I got the ocean.
Adam Farrar
I got buddies at LA county fire and I got the. There's an app called watch duty where you could see the fires and stuff. And there's cameras on Wilson. I'm just looking at this thing, and it's amazing to me how they updating everything. And when human beings put their mind to stuff, he's like, wow.
Larry McFeely
Yeah. When we do stuff for good, it tends to be great. And then a few weeks later, somebody goes, you know what else you can do with this? And usually it's porn first and then.
Adam Farrar
Horrible, horrible things and then deceiving others for fun and profit. That's what it is.
Larry McFeely
That's what it always is. And it's terrifying. Speaking of, Adam's at Desert Ridge Improv this week and pretending that he cares about your fun nights.
Adam Farrar
I do care about your fun. Come down. I will spread some joy.
Larry McFeely
That's right. You will. Will do that. That is for sure. But really, deep down, this is just a business trip.
Adam Farrar
Thank you. Deep down that he has a mortgage.
Larry McFeely
You got a mortgage, you got to pay it.
Adam Farrar
It's a business trip, and God knows what the insurance is going to be. Now come down. Two shows tonight, two shows tomorrow. Please help them get on Sunday.
Larry McFeely
And if you could do it, you'd do it too. If somebody said, hey, you want to go to Barrett Jackson? I'll cover the. The flight and the room I have.
Adam Farrar
This is my. One of my favorite times a year because I get to do the. The two things I love. I get do stand up. I get to see the cars. And Brady showed up. This is nice.
Larry McFeely
Now, how did that go? Brady shows up. You're like, hey, I know that guy. And it's pleasant at first and how many cars? Until you're like, he's staying the whole time.
Adam Farrar
No, we sat there and talked.
Brady
Right.
Larry McFeely
That's my point.
Adam Farrar
Right outside. A Pagani.
Larry McFeely
I don't know what that means.
Brady
Yeah, there we go.
Adam Farrar
A Pagani Hawaii. It's beautiful.
Larry McFeely
I don't even know what that is.
Adam Farrar
Supercar.
Larry McFeely
Okay.
Brady
I thought she was hot.
Adam Farrar
I know.
Larry McFeely
Yeah. She sounds amazing.
Adam Farrar
She was. She. She is incontinent.
Larry McFeely
Was she in an Elvis movie? Did you see the girl from. Did you want to see a picture?
Adam Farrar
I really don't. I really.
Larry McFeely
She's. It's. It's.
Adam Farrar
I'm sure she is.
Larry McFeely
Is that a deal breaker? Would you stay with your wife if she wear diapers forever?
Adam Farrar
I love my wife.
Larry McFeely
I don't love anything that much.
Adam Farrar
I'm. I'm. I'm stunned to hear that from you. I'm surprised.
Larry McFeely
I'm not even friends with Brady because I'm pretty sure he's close.
Adam Farrar
God's sake. Your jeep tried to kill itself. Right? Just because of the way you draw it.
Larry McFeely
Brady's last day on the air would be the one where he says diapers. From here on out, I'm like, I'm not dealing with that.
Adam Farrar
Brady's last day on the air was. I can't take anymore.
Larry McFeely
This.
Adam Farrar
A world. There's the Pagani. Look at that.
Larry McFeely
Unreal.
Adam Farrar
That beautiful.
Brady
That's ridiculous.
Larry McFeely
What?
Adam Farrar
That's the Hawaii. There's a. There's a Zonda F Roadster, which is like an open cockpit, giant exhaust on the back. Yeah.
Brady
What's tax title allowed to do on.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
What are we going otd?
Adam Farrar
Listen, what's it going to take to get you into this car?
Larry McFeely
If I give this number to you, you sign it, take it to my manager, we can do this. Who makes that thing?
Adam Farrar
Pagani.
Larry McFeely
That's a guy?
Adam Farrar
Yeah. Look at that.
Larry McFeely
That's stunning. I've never seen that before. Or maybe I haven't. I just didn't know what it was. That's. What. Are those run a lot? Yeah, pretty. Pretty heavy.
Brady
Over a mil.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
Got a 2 million. Yeah. Brad's throwing Google. Brad, how many you have either just bid on it? I'm not sure, but that's amazing.
Adam Farrar
That gorgeous.
Larry McFeely
So. Yeah, those are cool to see. Yeah. And there's one of those there. And Brady and you were sitting by a Pagan talking.
Brady
I'm sitting on the hood.
Adam Farrar
I mean, sitting on the hood. A couple beers on the tailgate.
Larry McFeely
Is there a sign over that said Pagani? What? Did something say Pagani?
Adam Farrar
Yes. There's the. The. The.
Larry McFeely
That's why he was there. He thought that was food.
Brady
I thought it was.
Larry McFeely
They drop it in one of them George Foreman grillers. Yeah. Pagani. I've never heard of it, but I think that's why Brady. Was it something in Italian?
Brady
Pagani.
Larry McFeely
Yeah. And then. So what's your favorite thing you saw there so far?
Adam Farrar
Brady.
Larry McFeely
Brady was your favorite thing. What a pathetic. Just a big, big $3.4 million for a Pagani. That was in 2020.
Adam Farrar
But we'll throw in the floor mat. Morning sickness. Disgusting.

Larry McFeely
Morning sickness. My God.
Adam Farrar
Because it was real. It was like, you know, I sat. I sat in the original Batmobile, one that Craig had over at the office. Four million.
Larry McFeely
And the first, very first, very first.
Adam Farrar
One that was built out of the 55 Lincoln Futura man. This one.
Larry McFeely
Oh, wait, before the Adam west one.
Adam Farrar
Because that was the Adam West.
Larry McFeely
Okay, so the one before that was the guy who wore pajamas in the black and white. And it was like, I literally. I think he drove a animal Edsel. It was not been crime. I'm not kidding. It was an old 50s like Wagon and Batman had shot out of it in the worst. Batman.
Brady
Before Adam West.
Larry McFeely
Before Adam west, there was an original Batman. I think it was movies.
Adam Farrar
Well, he was a, it was a detective.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, he was the Red Dragon or something like that.
Adam Farrar
No, no, that was Silence of the Lamb.
Larry McFeely
No, that's right. I confused James Gum with Adam West. No, he was originally a detective as the red something. And that didn't turn into joke.
Adam Farrar
Oh, okay.
Larry McFeely
So they moved Batman in on that. I know, and I'm not a nerd on that stuff. I just happen to know that, yeah.
Adam Farrar
I was a nerd for the car. When I saw the car, I went, that's amazing. And I found the car. It was made out of the one at the, that they have at Barrett Jackson's Steel body. But it's made out of a 66. It's built on a 66 Ford Galaxy.
Larry McFeely
No kidding. I saw him when I lived in California for a little while before I moved out. After I lit that fire, I saw the real Batmobile in Burbank. Pulled up to me at a stoplight.
Adam Farrar
Yeah, George Barris's shop was right there.
Larry McFeely
So amazing. Yeah, it's the monkey mobile there.
Adam Farrar
The monkey mobile was there. I think they sold it.
Brady
They must have sold it, but they didn't have the sign on there. Oh, or maybe it's.
Adam Farrar
So what did you do today? Is that the monkey mobile or is that a Honda? What is that?
Larry McFeely
Yeah, at that point you're like, all right, Brady, it's been an hour. Go get your bikini.
Brady
Which is what? You know what kind of. I mean, they gto. They stretched out the side of it and they stretched.
Adam Farrar
They stretched the whole GTO out.
Brady
And then.
Adam Farrar
Well, you know what terrified me as a kid watching that car? The exhaust came out of the front wheel well. And I was like, if this guy hits a bump, he's gonna crack the exhaust. That's all I could focus.
Larry McFeely
That's the original Batmobile.
Adam Farrar
What crime is he chasing in that thing?
Larry McFeely
Well, probably taxes.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
What is that car, do you know? It's a 49 Merc. It's a Mercury Merc, all right.
Adam Farrar
It's a lead slit.
Larry McFeely
I have no idea what that is, but I remember there's the one. That's the one right there. The real Batmobile. And they have. They seemingly have that at Barrett Jackson every year. There's a Batmobile and Starsky and Hutch. What?
Adam Farrar
Well, the Torino.
Larry McFeely
Yeah. Do you like the Gran Torino? It was.
Adam Farrar
I like the 72. I think that was a. Was it a 76?
Larry McFeely
I don't even know. I had to be around.
Adam Farrar
I like the 72 because the grill was smaller.
Larry McFeely
Yeah.
Adam Farrar
The lights were cool.
Larry McFeely
No clue. I just knew Starsky and Hutch had it. And Hutch had a cruddy car and Starsky had the good one.
Adam Farrar
Yeah. And they would just slide across the hood.
Larry McFeely
It was like Miami Vice, too, though. Tubs had the crazy cattle.
Brady
But it was Hilar growing up when people would just do the Starskin Hutch paint job on a different car.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, the best.
Adam Farrar
Like on a Duster.
Larry McFeely
Oh, it's the best. It was a 76.
Adam Farrar
It was 76. Yeah.
Larry McFeely
But. Yeah. What.
Brady
What car?
Larry McFeely
As you know, you were on Top Gear. You've been a car guy. What car do you want to see? And you haven't.
Adam Farrar
The Popemobile with the Pope in it.
Larry McFeely
You think Bear Jackson will pull that off? One year I went.
Adam Farrar
Okay, so I went to the Peterson Museum. They took me in the basement. He showed me all the cool stuff.
Larry McFeely
Stuff.
Adam Farrar
So the Pope went to Mexico.
Larry McFeely
I forget which Pope it was.
Adam Farrar
You know, John Paul.
Larry McFeely
I don't know. Yeah, one of them went to Mexico.
Adam Farrar
So they get an old Caddy at DTS and they stretched it out and they made it look like an El Camino. And they put a fishing chair so the Pope could ride in a fishing chair and wave at everybody.
Larry McFeely
A swivel chair.
Adam Farrar
Yeah, swivel chair. But it looked like a fish. Like a thing for the ride.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, it's like Quint from Jaws was sitting back there.
Adam Farrar
I'll never put on a life jacket again.
Brady
Keep chumming.
Adam Farrar
Yeah, yeah. So they put this in. Nothing, no glass around it. Just the open big chair. So the Pope lands in Mexico. The Swiss Guard comes over, looks at it. The Pope goes, oh, thank you very much. He blesses the thing. And the Swiss Guard leans over, goes, you're not riding in this piece. So they have the car at the Peterson. So I'm like, can I sit in there and take a picture? And the guy goes, you can. But the last guy that did that got really sick and almost died. I said, I don't need to sit in there.
Larry McFeely
What?
Adam Farrar
It could be a curse on it. Cursed it? I don't know if the Pope cursed it.
Larry McFeely
Somebody cursed it.
Adam Farrar
Somebody. The Mexicans cursed it.
Larry McFeely
I don't know what happened. They might have thrown the attempt.
Adam Farrar
We made this a papa.
Larry McFeely
You know, sitting.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
I don't know what. They threw the chicken head at it or something. I don't know what happened.
Adam Farrar
So I didn't sit.
Larry McFeely
And why?
Adam Farrar
My impression of a Mexican man. Luigi.
Larry McFeely
He's down there in Mexico.
Adam Farrar
Sounded like my grandfather. What are you doing? You're not sitting in the chair. Where's this guy from?
Larry McFeely
You don't like it? A puppet chat. I do that in my own. A little Mexican affiliate.
Adam Farrar
Yes. You want. You. You want a nachos? A parmigiani? All right, get in the car.
Larry McFeely
The nacho cheese. It's like a mama maze.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Brady
It was an assassination attempt on the.
Larry McFeely
Of course it was. What did he ride in?
Adam Farrar
I. I don't know. Why didn't. They got an Uber?
Larry McFeely
What do I know?
Adam Farrar
They got a holy Uber.
Larry McFeely
So that's the one car you've never seen?
Adam Farrar
I've. So I've. I've.
Larry McFeely
The real Popemobile.
Adam Farrar
The real problem.
Larry McFeely
The one with the square hero and.
Brady
The mobile out of Animal.
Adam Farrar
They had that too. The death mob.
Larry McFeely
They did.
Adam Farrar
Made out of a Lincoln. Yep, they had that too.
Larry McFeely
That was yesterday.
Adam Farrar
Yesterday. Ghostbusters. The 59. Yeah.
Larry McFeely
Which one?
Brady
300,000 for the.
Larry McFeely
The animal house. Oh, the Ghostbusters went for like 50. Good idea. Till you pull up to the house.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
And then you got to explain it to people. And. And then your neighbors start coming over to look at it. Now you got to deal with them. This is just awful. Awful. No, thanks.
Adam Farrar
Looks good on paper.
Larry McFeely
It. It's such a good idea in your neighborhood standing next to it. And it's 270 for the Ghostbusters. Hearse. That's silly. What's the most you've spent on a car ever?
Adam Farrar
Not much. I will tell you this. This was my, my, my best story. I bought. I bought an 08 E350 mid. Mid sized Mercedes. I still have it, right? So I went, I usually buy. I never buy new cars. Because you're taking a 46% hit, right?
Larry McFeely
Immediately.
Adam Farrar
Yeah. So what I do like is I like the lease returns.
Larry McFeely
Yeah.
Adam Farrar
Because the manufacturer guarantee certified pre owned lease returns. And I always spend the money, whatever protects the motherboards. I don't care. The patriot. Because once the computers go, you're done. So you know they're gonna talk to. No, you don't need it. Yeah, I do.
Larry McFeely
I want that important.
Adam Farrar
So I go on a Friday. I go, hopefully at the end of the month, if I could do the end of the year. The end of the year, because they got to spin everything over. And I go like a half hour before closing because they want to go, they want to go home. Yeah, right. So that, that's. I timed this out right. I did the Tonight Show Thursday night, and then I told my wife, we're gonna go buy a car, right? And she, she wanted Mercedes. Okay? So we call him, Mercedes deals, and we're going down there. There's a BMW dealer right across the street. I pull in there, My wife's like, we don't want a BMW. I said, I'm like, we're not getting a BMW. Walk in. I look up on the, on the window on the wall, and there's a frame picture of salesman of the month, Michael, whatever his name is, right? Okay, come on, let's go over to Mercedes dealer. I tell my wife, listen, I'm gonna be talking money with.
Larry McFeely
Don't ruin this.
Adam Farrar
No, I said, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna walk away. You come and get me right when that happens. Okay? So we go for the ride, we do the whole thing. We sit down, we're talking money with the guy. I said, I'll give you this for it. He goes, I can't do it for that. And I said, you know what? I'm sorry, I thought you wanted to.
Larry McFeely
Sell a car today.
Adam Farrar
I get up and I walk out. My wife goes, I'll go get him. And she's talking to me, goes, now what? I go, calm me down. She goes, why are you upset? I go, I'm not upset. I want him to think. Just calm me down. She goes, okay, calm down, calm down.
Larry McFeely
Right to her knees.
Adam Farrar
Yeah. Calm down. Calm down. I go, all right. So we walked back there. I said, listen, Mike over at BMW said he can put me in a five series for this number. I'm buying a German car today. Am I putting your name on the check? Am I putting Mike's name on the check?
Larry McFeely
Good move.
Adam Farrar
Guy goes, let me go talk to my manager. He gets up, he walks away. My wife leans over and goes, who's Mike?
Larry McFeely
I don't know who Mike is showing.
Adam Farrar
A picture, but he knows who Mike.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, that's a good move.
Adam Farrar
I came back and I got the call.
Larry McFeely
Nice.
Adam Farrar
For that moment.
Larry McFeely
That's pretty good. Amazing. I went to buy a car dressed as I dress.
Adam Farrar
Good.
Larry McFeely
And it was at the Ferrari Maserati dealership. And, yeah, I wasn't getting one of those. I wasn't getting a Ferrari or anything. So I'm walking around. Actually went there first because I saw a Range Rover, okay. And was gonna get it for Megan. And so we get over there, and no one would help us.
Adam Farrar
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
And then I saw the Maserati Levante, and I really liked it. Same deal. It was at least nine months old. The price was half. I'm like, this is a great car. I'm like, is the one. So I'm hanging around by it. Nobody comes to help me, right? So I leave in a huff. I'll go to the other Maserati dealership, Julia Robertson. I did. I did that commission. And now he's going to stake. Well, the big problem with that was Julia Roberts had other shops that sold that stuff. I thought there was a Maserati dealership up here, and I was going to go over there and get it. And so I called him and told him, hey, maybe I was not necessarily in a suit and tie today, but I could have gotten somebody to say, hey, how you doing? You just lost a sale of this, this, and this. I was buying it for cash today. We were done, and a guy calls me back and he goes, hey, listen to the show. First off, I'm in trouble now. And then he goes. And he goes, I don't know where else you're gonna go. You need to come back. I threw this big fit on the phone, and I never do that big fit on the phone of like, I'll show you. And I'm driving my. I'm Pretty woman in this thing. And there wasn't another dealership. So the next day, I slunk back in there and thought, it's, like, good to have you back. Didn't move it a dollar either.
Adam Farrar
I would have bought it over the Internet, just drove it past. I would have bought it somewhere.
Larry McFeely
I called Vegas.
Adam Farrar
I would have bought a Fiero and changed it into a Masera.
Larry McFeely
That was it. Yeah, I called Las Vegas, but the shipping fees made it a dumb deal just for spite. But I thought about it.
Brady
My method is so much easier. I go in there, I'm like, I just want to pay full price.
Larry McFeely
