Bill Goldberg (3:59)

But.

Steve Austin (4:00)

But monetary motivation ain't the reason these badass athletes come out to the Broken Skull Challenge. These people come out there on top of that mountain, in the dirt, in that hot desert sun, in the middle of fucking nowhere to put it all on the line, to put the money where their mouth is and prove how badass, competitive, athletic and tough, and iron will and strength and determination that they possess. Some people send me these little messages on Steve Austin BSR on my Twitter account. One dude in particular, I can't remember his name, he's always talking about how he come out there and smoke the Skull Buster. Hell, son, if you think you can come out there and beat my Skull Buster, then show up any damn day of the week while we're filming out there and you'll have seven other people out there that are going to say, hey, not so fast, my friend. I didn't come here just to get treated like some chump and get sent home. I'm going to give you every single thing I got. So anyway, let me wrap up this promo. I'll get caught up talking about this goddamn show. I dig his show the most and I live out there on set 24, seven, five days a week. Come home for a day and a half, go back out there and get it again. Dedication, staying out there I ain't got to fight all the fucking traffic. Get out there and do my job. Got my gym out there. So anyway, I went on a little tirade there, man. Got all fired up. Goddamn. I finally got a job coming back up. I'm looking forward to getting down to it, so got my 45 minutes of cardio in. I'm going to go do back and biceps. I did chest, shoulders, and tries yesterday, and then tomorrow will be a leg day. I haven't trained legs since I hurt my shoulder because I can't squat, and I don't really like the leg press machines they got over. So I haven't been doing too much legs, and I got to get on my legs because it's hard just training one side of your body to get just that, you know, just that fucking effort, that feeling when you've left the gym, when you've given everything you've had. Just training with one arm is kind of fucked up. But, hey, it is what it is. Got my diet all in stock. Stopped drinking the broken Skola IPA for a little bit so I can get down to fighting weight, but I'm looking forward to getting out there. God damn it. What else is going on? Oh, man. I'll tell you what. Let's talk about something else before I move on. Get to the Body podcast, because today what I got is last of my podcast with Bill Goldberg. I spent the night down there at the Goldberg compound in San Diego a couple of weeks ago, and we wrapped up our epic conversation with the tour of Bill's garage. Checked out all his badass cars and motorcycles, and I ain't sure that he gave me a goodish tour, as he gave Jay Leno, who visited Goldberg's garage just before me. But I can tell you that Goldberg was not taking me up on any of my offers to buy any of his vehicles.

Bill Goldberg (6:49)

So.

Steve Austin (6:52)

It'S a pretty good goddamn conversation. We're sitting there walking around, and he's giving me the skinny, the 411, the info on where all these cars come from, the motors and what they mean to him. And of course, me being the cheap motherfucker that I am, I'm trying to buy every single car I can off Bill, but I'm making the lowest ball offers that can ever be offered. And I know he's not going to take me up on them. But anyway, now that I got that 2003 Ford Focus 65,000 miles Metallic, and that thing is in showroom condition with the fact that I got it detailed, got all the mechanical stuff out of the way. So hey, Bill, if you listen to this, I might be driving that motherfucker back up there to the San Diego area, rolling to your garage and make maybe you and me make a little bit of a swap. I'll bring a little extra cash money for motivation. I'm just kidding you, Bill. Anyway, but like I was going to say before we get this conversation with Bill. God damn. I'm telling you what, folks, this Saturday, let me click on my computer here. I've been watching all this stuff about UFC 200 coming up in Las Vegas, Nevada, man. I'm on the MMA fighting.com and they got all these embedded videos and they're showing what a lot of these athletes are doing just to kill time, you know, before they get into the fight. And it shows Brock Lesnar trying to find some gloves that'll fit. This guy's got the biggest goddamn hands in the history of mma. He's got some four inch gloves and they're snug. And it goes to show Mark Hunt's game plan and not so much his game plan. He's just kind of chilling out and laying low. Misha Tate's kind of chilling with friends out on the water. Frankie Edgar's got a little fireworks going on. And dc, my man Daniel Cormier training down there in San Jose, he's getting ready. John Jones is doing a little swimming. But I'll tell you what, this damn UFC 200 is going to be one knockdown drag out affair. Let me get the damn thing here on my computer. UFC 200 from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Give me the official fight card. Alright, here we go. God damn main event. Daniel Cormier, who's the champion, versus Jon Jones, the interim champion. I guess that's what IC means, unless it means intercontinental champion, which I don't think it does. I'll tell you what, John kind of handled Daniel last time they did business, but man, I tell you what, this is going to be a good fight, Daniel. You got to put it all on the line. I wish both guys all the luck in the world, you know, the thing about it is I like both fighters, but I've got to talk to Daniel Cormier a few times and you know, he's a big pro wrestling fan, so. Oh man, that's going to be a tough fight. And then God damn, my boy Brock Lesnar. I was really surprised when I heard about this fight versus Mark Hunt, who just a heavy handed cat and Brock Lesnar comes in there with that just outlandishly freakish athlete. He's one of those guys. To me, I always think he's just once in a generation, you know, he's like a Herschel Walker, you know, not a football player. But, I mean, there wasn't too many Herschel Walkers. There's not too many Brock Lesnar's, there's not too many Usain Bolts. That's how athletic this guy is. That's how big he is, that's how strong he is. So I don't know, man, he's ain't been knocked a gun in a long time, but I know he's feeling better without his maybe with his diverticulitis behind us, but, man, I'm a fan of Mark Hunt, but I'm Brock Lesnar all day long on this one, and I hope Brock goes in there and he's feeling like a million bucks. It will be interesting to see what his strategy is, and I hope he does well. I'm pulling for you, Brock. Golly, man. Women's bantamweight championship. Miesha Tate versus Amanda Nunez. Man, this is going to be a good fight. I just love the way Miesha took that belt off of Holly Holm through five rounds of really getting peppered by Hollywood. And just finally, in that closing minutes, that last round, was able to just almost like a jaguar on the plains of the Serengeti dragging down an animal, and she snuck in that chokehold. And boy, respect to Holly Holm because, man, it's going to be interesting to see them get a rematch whenever they book that. But Miesha Tate, man, she's what, 29, 30 years old, and she's just been around forever and she's always working, staying in that octagon and doing work. And it paid off. And now she's the champion. So down the road, will it be the Rousey Tate rematch? Will there be the Tate home rematch? She's got to come out of Amanda Nunez first. Certainly can't look past her. That's going to be a hell of a fight. And then, God damn. Jose Aldo versus Frankie Edgar, man, Jose Aldo got flashed in that damn fight against Conor McGregor. And I just think that Conor was in his head so much, it fucked him up. He rushed in there in a 13 second clip. Fastest knockout, fastest finish in the history of the ufc. And he's going against, man, Frankie Edgar. Long overdue. Frankie Edgar is one of my favorite goddamn fighters. His footwork, how tough that guy is. Those fights he had with Gray Maynard were heaven. Half the time he was getting hammered and you just thought the Kid was going down, and he ain't no kid now. He's a veteran. But you talk about a bad son of a bitch, and you talk about how athletic Jose Aldo is, but, man, Frankie Edgar, really pulling for Frankie. Sentimental favorite, just because I love that guy's footwork. And then one of my favorite fighters, Cain Velasquez, former champion, you know, he didn't look good against Verdum when he was fighting at height. Where were they in Mexico, Wherever that fight was. But God dang, Kane, one of my favorite fighters, against Travis Brown. What an opportunity for Travis Brown here. And so it's going to be a badass card. Looking at the preliminary stuff, Katzengano vs. Juliana Pena, Johnny Hendricks vs. Kelvin Gastelum, TJ Dillashaw vs. Rafael Asuncio, and Sage Northcutt vs. Enrique Martin. Of course, you got your preliminary card on UFC Fight pass. I won't get into. Well, I'll go ahead. Diego Sanchez versus Joe Luzon. That's going to be cool. Gagard Mousasi, tough dude. Thiago Santos. Jim Miller versus Takanori Gomi. Samantha's motherfucker from start to finish is a goddamn ball buster. So I'm looking for big things out of this damn fight. And it will be a hell of a night at the office because I believe they start off Thursday with some fights on something. Friday, some fights. But Saturday, UFC 200, man, I'm sitting here plugging this pay per view, so you know what my weekend is going to consist of. I don't know if I'll catch the Thursday, Friday stuff, but there ain't no way. There ain't no way I'm going to miss UFC 200. And also, what's cool about Saturday is before the UFC 200 event, one of the funniest comedians I've heard in forever, Bill Burr, is going to come by the house and we're going to do a podcast over here at 316 Gimmick street you talk about a funny son of a bitch. There ain't too many people, if any, that are funnier than Bill Burr. We hooked up, and he's coming by the crib on Saturday, so I'm looking forward to shooting the shit with him. But anyway, folks, enough about the ufc. Let's get into my conversation with Bill Goldberg at the Goldberg Garage. And the reason I'm able to bring you this personal walk and tour of Goldberg's garage is because of all the fine sponsors of this year podcast.

Bill Goldberg (14:42)

Steve Austin Unleashed. Unleashed.

Steve Austin (14:44)

All right, welcome back to Steve Austin Show. Once again, I'm here with Bill Goldberg. We are talking specifically cars or vehicles on wheels. God dang. 70 cuda.

Bill Goldberg (14:54)

70 cuda 446 pack. The reason why it's got the COVID on it and I haven't driven it in a long time is because I so ignorantly backed it out of the garage and hit the garage, therefore messing up the rear driver's side quarter panel. And as it sat here for a while, I had a mopar guru come by the house and look at all my stuff. And these guys who are very numbers oriented are very anal about their knowledge. And so he looks at the Fender tag and lo and behold, it's. It's a stripe delete car. And so if you look at it, there's an orange stripe on there. So I'm gonna completely restore this car because it's badass. It's even more cool now that it doesn't have a stripe. So it's a. It's a four speed 440 six pack. Numbers matching barracuda. That's. Man, it's cool. It's one of the first cars I bought.

Steve Austin (15:52)

Where did you find this thing at?

Bill Goldberg (15:54)

Just like I said before, man, when I was wrestling around, I'd pick up the classifieds and I'd. I'd look at cars. And specifically this one was probably out of Texas. I think this was Texas too.

Steve Austin (16:08)

When did you turn into a car guy?

Bill Goldberg (16:10)

I've always been a car.

Steve Austin (16:11)

Two and a half years younger than me. I've always been a car guy too. I didn't take it to the level.

Bill Goldberg (16:15)

That you did, but my dad, you know, when I grew, like I said, I had two older brothers. And you'd like to emulate your older brothers. And mine were 16 and 18 years older than me. So they knew. Cool. You know, 20 years before I was, or, you know, 15 years before I was born, whatever. I don't know. They had been there and done that. So when I was growing up, my dad was having Jaguars and my brothers were taking them out and beating the dog shit out of them and fixing them before they came home. So my dad never knew anything that happened. And so, you know, I used to take my dad's Jag and take girls out in high school and then go cruising up in Claremore, Oklahoma, which was 30 minutes away, and, you know, be this brat, you know, rich kid. I don't know, man. That was me back in those days. I didn't have that mentality. I just fell into that auspices, you know.

Steve Austin (17:07)

Tell me about the motors available in this car. Because I'm guessing It was a 340, 440 and a 426 Hemi. Was that the motor options? I mean, I mean is the 426 hemi all that? Because I always heard with this car, I've never heard, I've never had one, but I heard heard they were cantankerous for all the horsepower they possessed.

Bill Goldberg (17:23)

Well, no question that. And because they weigh, you know, as much as a freaking. That bike right there. They're gigantic. And the fact is that 446 pack right here, you know, if I peel this back and you see the numbers and the badging. It's got three two barrel carburetors. When them some bitches kick in, this thing's quicker than that car. That car takes a long time. It's got a Hemi. It's an original hemi car. Oh, which car? Charger right next to it. But you know, putting the, the 440 six pack against the Hemi motor, the six packs, the 440 is lighter. The six pack allows it, I think to be a quicker motor. The, the top end on the hemi is going to outrun the six pack car, I believe.

Steve Austin (18:11)

But are they top end cars? Those were quarter mile cars, right?

Bill Goldberg (18:13)

Look at the car, man. I mean the thing, it just can only go in a straight line. It can't really, you know, go around the corner. So I mean, yeah, I mean, they're quarter mile cars. They're. I mean, you know, that thing probably ran a 15 and a quarter mile, something like that. This thing probably ran a little bit faster, I would believe. But you know, to look back when I was in high school and the cool kids were the ones that had brothers that were driving these cars. So I always wanted to had them when I got to the ability to purchase one.

Steve Austin (18:44)

Man, my first badass car, My first car ever was a 71 Firebird. Formula really came.

Bill Goldberg (18:50)

That's awesome.

Steve Austin (18:50)

First came with 455 Super Duty, but a guy had jerry rigged the motor, replaced with the 396 Chevy. So anyway, I mean, that was my first introduction. We're gonna go downstairs and see your trans Am.

Bill Goldberg (19:00)

Mine was a 76 Trans Am, but 473.

Steve Austin (19:03)

Oh, your first car was 76 Trans Am. How did you pull that off?

Bill Goldberg (19:07)

It was stolen. No, I didn't steal it, but it was stolen and they, the cops ended up confiscating it from my house. And I had a broken arm at the time. And everything I say is a long story. But I bought this car and it was a red with black interior 476trans AM. Because I originally test drove a blue, blue, super blue, Blue Ram Air 470 Trans AM 4 speed car that freaking hopped sideways. My mom was in it with me. She's like, no, there's no way you're buying this car. So the one car that I wanted to buy was that car. So I bought it eventually, whatever. But yeah, I ended up only having the money. I worked at McDonald's. And before I got fired at McDonald's, I saved up enough money to buy half of this car. And my dad paid the other half and it turned out it was stolen. And I had. I broke my arm and I don't know, I got in trouble. So I didn't have a license at the time. So I started taking the car apart. And then they found out it was stolen. They ended up confiscating it in pieces. That's the story of my first Trans am.

Steve Austin (20:27)

The car next here, you said it was a.

Bill Goldberg (20:30)

A challenger 69 hemi charger. I mean I've had everything. The coolest car, the fastest car. I think I've. One of the coolest cars I ever had was a 383 convertible Cuda like this. It had headers on it. I broke the world record at Barrett Jackson with that car. $160,000 for that car. I paid like 20 grand for it. But I mean, I kept it for a long period of time. But this thing. This was the first hemi car ever bought. All original car. It had been restored. Like an 89. Had the chicken wire holding the rear quarters together.

Steve Austin (21:06)

Dude, as badass as the black coat is, besides, if I was a car, blue, this is phenomenal.

Bill Goldberg (21:12)

If I was a car, this would be me. 69 Hemi Charger. Big, bulbous, but in your face. Just, you know, you. It is what it is. It is.

Steve Austin (21:22)

I filmed a movie in Canada. I can't remember. It was a gtx. You have a few of them downstairs. Mine wasn't in shape that yours in my movie car, but it was. Shoot, I think it was a four speed car and it had the 440. It was cool. It was long. Didn't handle. You know, like I said, it's not a corner car, but it was fucking cool as shit. There's a turquoise truck over here in the corner. From a distance, when I first came up in this badass garage that Bill Goldberg has, I said, dude, I said that is a badass Ford 100.

Bill Goldberg (21:56)

And you were, you were Correct. You were correct. No, but you were correct. Because every part on it is interchangeable with the F100. The only difference is the badging. And it's a Canadian export truck. So therefore the badging on, you know, the sides there and the tailgate, that's the only difference between F4.

Steve Austin (22:17)

Oh, I know that's the only difference. But when you said it was a Mercury 100, I was like, you got to be shitty. Kidding me. Because I love these old trucks. And this is because your wife's from Canada and it used to be in their family.

Bill Goldberg (22:29)

They grew up on a 600 acre grain farm, and everyone learned how to drive on the three on the tree. 67 Mercury 100. It's pretty badass, dude.

Steve Austin (22:39)

This thing is from Canada. They got some extreme weather up here. This thing was in a shambles when you got it, was it not? Because right now it is shambles.

Bill Goldberg (22:46)

I broke half the bolts off of it. You know, I don't know my own strength or I didn't when I took it apart, but the reality is that's the only way I could get it apart. It was outside for 35 years, and it's arguably the most expensive 67 Mercury F100 in existence because of what it means to my family. There's no amount of money you can place on memories. And so, you know.

Steve Austin (23:10)

Will you take 15,000 cash for it?

Bill Goldberg (23:11)

Hell, no. Kidding me? I take 15,000 cash for the wheels.

Steve Austin (23:16)

I'm with you, Bill. God damn it.

Bill Goldberg (23:18)

I know you, dude.

Steve Austin (23:19)

These things are just. These things are just awesome.

Bill Goldberg (23:21)

It's fun. It's three on the tree, man. Leno was here a couple weeks ago. They promised me they were going to teach Gage how to drive in it, but ironically, they didn't. But of all the cars that I have, and I've got a couple cool pieces, this is the only thing we drove.

Steve Austin (23:35)

Let me ask you something. We're going to go downstairs and I got a 46 Willis Jeep that you put together for your wife, and you're talking about doing all the hands on. How deep can you get into the wheelhouse of mechanics as far as rebuilding motors, body work, or just taking stuff apart? Because you're talking about being hands on with these cars. How hands on can you get?

Bill Goldberg (23:53)

I can get as hands on as need be, but I can't do the internal of the motor. I can replicate anybody doing anything. But when it comes to learning the intricacies, the timing, the precise measurements, the.

Steve Austin (24:08)

Precise mic stuff and pistons and cylinders.

Bill Goldberg (24:11)

Yeah. The precise timing of Carburetors, I'm learning that stuff. But as far as anything cosmetic, as far as rebuilding and restoring, I could do all of it. And that's what I do. That's what I specialize in. Because that, you know, it just takes time and it's laborious and it's, you know, I'm really anal, man. I'm the guy who takes like three showers a day and trims our goatee. Like, you know, hey, you know, whatever.

Steve Austin (24:34)

You're not trimming my goatee. I'm just saying, dude, here's the thing that I'm not noticing when I leave my ranch and shit, South Texas, I've got all my mules and my. And my tractors and stuff on trickle chargers. Are you able. I don't see trickle chargers or wires running anywhere. Are you driving these things enough to get the batteries charged?

Bill Goldberg (24:50)

No, I just. I told you I had Leno here 10 days ago and I didn't want to have all the wires, so I.

Steve Austin (24:56)

Really got them hooked up.

Bill Goldberg (24:57)

Absolutely. No doubt.

Steve Austin (24:59)

Now these things are all detailed out. Everything looks immaculate. Because you're an OCD freak. You like things high and tight.

Bill Goldberg (25:05)

Well, that took a month and a half to get the. The garage ready for Leno. Because I'm on the road a lot, dude, and I mean, there's a lot more important things than the floor of my 6,500 square foot garage, you know, like my family, like, everything that has to do with them, whether it's reading a book with my son or, you know, being there for 10 minutes to talk to my wife before dinner. I mean, it's more important than doing this shit. So it took a very long period of time. I had two of my best friends that were in town on vacation, quote, unquote, so they thought. But the reality was they ended up, you know, doing labor for me.

Steve Austin (25:41)

But it sounds like your wife is as much of a car, truck, person, motorcycle person as you are. And Gage, your son turning out to be a car car guy, too.

Bill Goldberg (25:49)

I'm forcing it on him as much as I can, you know, without being that dick parent. But, I mean, I take him to these cool events. And last week I handed out the first place trophy for the Grand Avenue cruise. You know, the cruise night down in Escondido, which, I mean, they get 2,000 cars every Friday. We do some really cool stuff. He loves cars. I did. You know, you mentioned Texas Motor Speedway. I did the same thing at Bristol about three weeks ago. And I flew. We flew to Bristol and I took Gage with Me. And that was awesome, dude. I mean, it was just really cool because I know a lot of the guys, and Tony Stewart was gonna have him sit in the trailer while I did my stuff. But Bristol was so nice to let Gage hang out with me the whole time. And, you know, and the drivers meeting and having Gage in there and, you know, having people react the way that they do with me, it's cool for him to see that and for him to meet these people and get their autograph. And he loves Junior. And Junior built the. Junior's guys built the motor for, you know, Wanda's car. And I mean, you know, it's just.

Steve Austin (26:55)

Let's trek downstairs. You mentioned this one of these bikes or two of these bikes are not for sale. Sentimental reasons. What's. What's not for sale? Funk.

Bill Goldberg (27:06)

They're functional, man. That road glide over there, actually, I'm probably gonna sell it and upgrade. It's probably. I think it's a 2003. The new one's got abs, and they're, you know, they just. They're a little more trick. That one was done. It was massaged by west coast. And it's cool and all, but I think it's time to update it a little bit. And the other one is the Goldberg, the first west coast chopper bike that I was presented to, you know, by. By Jesse at Sturgis. And it's. It's really cool. I'm gonna keep that forever. So it's the only one that I've got here that I wouldn't sell.

Steve Austin (27:40)

Okay, so now we know the ones you'll never sell, but I want to know what you're driving when you're just tooling around town running errands. And then there's another Trans Am I want to take a look at. So with all these muscle cars at your disposal, and these are your passion, what does Bill Goldberg drive as a daily driver? If you were to have to go. And you don't have to go anywhere, but if you were to go to, say, Los Angeles, what would you take? I mean, I lease the car. I write it off as a business expense. My 95 Ford Bronco is my other go to vehicle, but I just drive a Range Rover because of the. The. I'm seeing over everybody, and it's a great ride. And as beat up as I. As I am, I lease that car. It's nothing spectacular, but that's what I drive. So what is your daily driver?

Bill Goldberg (28:29)

You know, I'll be honest, man. It's just completely. I'm not going to be a dick, but it completely depends on what I'm doing. Depends on where I'm going, how far I'm going. Depends on the weather. The reason why I moved out here to California is not just to be close to la. It's because I've got all these cars and I want to drive them all the time. It's why I don't have them in. It's why I don't have them in museums anymore, because I want to be able to get the keys and freaking drive them, man. So.

Steve Austin (29:01)

But, dude, if you're gonna. If you're gonna go into la, you're not gonna take to la.

Bill Goldberg (29:05)

No, if I go to la, I'm taking Wanda's Escalade. Okay. No doubt. Every time.

Steve Austin (29:10)

Okay.

Bill Goldberg (29:10)

Every time. I used to have a deal with Ford and I had a big turbo diesel, you know, dual Cab, you know, 250, I think it was, and it was badass. But, you know, I. I take Wanda's car. I take that. You know, what I drive every day when I'm here is hilarious. But it's part of my. Part of my disguise. Like, I need one, because most every time people think I'm you, I drive a 99 Dodge Ram, man, with like 50,000 miles on it that I bought from Ellis Edwards.

Steve Austin (29:50)

Yeah, he's still working for WWE.

Bill Goldberg (29:52)

Exactly. Is that.

Steve Austin (29:54)

Got a Cummins or V8?

Bill Goldberg (29:55)

V8. V8. But it was a. It was a show truck when I bought it. And. And then, you know, he. It was his baby. Right? And then along came this movie called the Longest Yard. And along came all this acreage that I bought, and along came all the extras from the Longest Yard, and I ended up bringing them here and using that truck to destroy as many trees as humanly possible. So that truck is absolutely destroyed right now, and it is probably within 1,000 miles of being driven off a cliff. But with bald tires in the back and with the paint fading off, it's a great disguise, bro. Nobody's gonna pull up next to that and go, hey, man, that's Goldberg. Especially when I got this, look. If I pull up in any of these, any one of these people are gonna go, man, that's. That's Goldberg. Right? If I pull up in a 99 Dodge, that's a piece of crap. They're not gonna even look. Look twice.

Steve Austin (30:55)

We're fixing to get into a little bit of Chevy area and some Pontiac area. But the overriding theme here is mopar. Yeah, I mean, talk to me about the mopar. Love.

Bill Goldberg (31:04)

The mopar thing for me is what got me into these muscle cars that's being different. It's the cool colors. It's. Even though I have 11 black cars, it's the cool wild colors. It's the big ostentatious motors, it's, you know, the goofy looking design, the big funky looking front end. It's the individuality that I like that was, that broke the mold, dude.

Steve Austin (31:27)

I almost bought a car like this. This is, Is this a 70 GTX?

Bill Goldberg (31:31)

Yes, 70 Coronet.

Steve Austin (31:33)

Coronet. I'm sorry, what is the difference between the Coronet and the gtx?

Bill Goldberg (31:36)

Because the Dodge mostly the front, I mean the bed, the, the front end, the rear end. But the body itself, the B body, I mean it's pretty much looks the same, it's got the same minds in it. But the front end and the rear end are completely different.

Steve Austin (31:50)

The side hood scoops, the twin scoops on the front are just superior.

Bill Goldberg (31:55)

So it's just a big goofy looking car. It's badass.

Steve Austin (32:00)

It looks like Mad Max. What about the Superbird? Have you ever owned one?

Bill Goldberg (32:03)

I had one. I had a car that a guy gave me. We were, Tony Stewart and I were on stage at Barrett Jackson and we were doing. We're auctioning off a car for Daryl Gwynn. Darrell Gwin's a hall of fame NHRA driver who got injured over in Europe. And we're on the board of his charity and now it's joined with Nick Bonacani and there was a guy on stage. We were, I remember we were auctioning off a Harley truck and the guy on stage says, man, I got a car I want to give you guys and you guys can do whatever you want with it. And you, you sell it for the Darrell Gwynn Foundation. Man, this guy gave me the car. And then like two weeks later I flew to Vegas and I had an idea and I met with this dude named Ray Everham. And Everham gave me a NASCAR motor for it. And then I hooked up with year one and year one, built this car and we ended up selling it to. Ron Pratt. I think it was at Barrett Jackson for $561,000. And I donated all of it to compare it to Terror Gwen thing.

Steve Austin (33:12)

What warranted the $561,000 price tag?

Bill Goldberg (33:15)

Dude, it was a NASCAR, it was a, it was a one off. Okay, killer car. But at the end of the day it was a charity car. And what warranted it was the, the big heart of Pratt and guys like Hendricks and guys like Childress who spend millions of dollars each and every year at Barrett Jackson. Okay, that's what warranted.

Steve Austin (33:33)

You've got your arm resting on. You've got your. This is the Bill Goldberg garage. And in this section there's eight cars. And you've got this one on jacks. This is a very special car. What are we looking at here?

Bill Goldberg (33:45)

This is a 70.70-½-Z28 Trans Am SCCA race car. It was bought from Barrett Jackson when I was racing or when I was wrestling over in Japan. It's owned by the third in command of Barrett Jackson. And it's been raced. I've got the original log books. It's been raced in 70 and it's a badass car, man. I saw it being restored for three years at the Elliot's compound in Dawsonville, Georgia. And it came up for sale at Barrett Jackson and I had to buy it.

Steve Austin (34:20)

What's the motor in this thing, man?

Bill Goldberg (34:22)

This is a 348 Ford in a Chevy car.

Steve Austin (34:27)

Oh, God. Has it been stroked?

Bill Goldberg (34:30)

Big time.

Steve Austin (34:31)

Okay.

Bill Goldberg (34:31)

It's sickening. It's. It's a home on Moody 12 point cage. This car is. It's completely. It's completely ratted out, man. I mean this, this thing. So look at the underside of this car. It's nicer than the top side of most everybody.

Steve Austin (34:46)

But this car, this car is not street legal.

Bill Goldberg (34:48)

Oh, absolutely not.

Steve Austin (34:49)

Do you get a chance? I mean, no. I mean, you probably have a little bit of leeway here.

Bill Goldberg (34:54)

To further emasculate myself being Goldberg at the advanced age of 50, I couldn't get. Originally when we delivered it from Georgia, I couldn't get it up the hill. My wife had to drive it.

Steve Austin (35:05)

Why is that?

Bill Goldberg (35:07)

Because the clutch was so hard. It's a race clutch. So it's either in or out. So I didn't have the ability to feather it or to dump it like she did because she's a stunt woman, quote unquote. But I got the opportunity to. To pace the historic races at Coronado. And to do that I drove from here to my house back and forth like 10 times. And I figured if I could do.

Steve Austin (35:34)

That, fun car to drive.

Bill Goldberg (35:35)

Oh man, this is the most fun car I have to drive.

Steve Austin (35:38)

Will you take 15 grand for it? No. Okay, let's move on to the next one.

Bill Goldberg (35:42)

Just. Just for reference, I won't take 15 for anything except for what's in the fridge.

Steve Austin (35:47)

Dude, you got to work with me here. This is an award winning podcast which has never won any Awards. Okay, talk to me about this. This thing is badass.

Bill Goldberg (35:55)

Can Reed Dodge 330 factory aluminum, lightweight. They only made 25 of them in 1963. I went to Barrett Jackson to look for cars, and I took Wanda for the first time. And this car was outside in the tent. And usually the big featured cars are inside. This was outside, and it was really goofy looking because it has red and white stripes on it. Red stripes on it. And I walked up to the car and I showed Wanda and I went, this car's really goofy looking in it. And the guy goes, man, here, Goldberg, would you please drive this on stage? That was it. And I ended up leaving with it.

Steve Austin (36:31)

I'm guessing I'm thinking stock 390 motor. No, no, I'm just talking about the motor. Is that 390? No, let's come with.

Bill Goldberg (36:37)

It's a. It's a wedge wedge. It's a wedge motor. Okay.

Steve Austin (36:41)

What's it. What's the cubic inch?

Bill Goldberg (36:42)

It's 426.

Steve Austin (36:43)

Okay.

Bill Goldberg (36:45)

It's nasty. It's a. It's a Ray Barton motor. It's not the original motor. It's original body that they only made 25 of. And it's a backup car for the Ram Charger program back in the day, which was sponsored by.

Steve Austin (36:57)

You mean to make this car again?

Bill Goldberg (36:58)

It's a Dodge.

Steve Austin (36:59)

Oh, it's a Dodge. Okay. I'm sorry. I thought. I thought. I thought you're saying Ford. That's why I was thinking of the.

Bill Goldberg (37:04)

It's sick. It's the coolest thing about this car is number one, I raced it up in Ohio. And number two, it's a push button automatic. And it's like a. They called it a typewriter back in the day. So imagine going 120 miles an hour, shifting from third to fourth gear, taking your hand off the wheel to push a button.

Steve Austin (37:24)

Well, okay, then that makes me ask you, is this pre 727 or is this a two speed like the power glide?

Bill Goldberg (37:30)

It's 727.

Steve Austin (37:31)

Okay, I see. I know a little bit about cars, folks.

Bill Goldberg (37:34)

You sure do.

Steve Austin (37:34)

Do tell me about speaking. Hold on.

Bill Goldberg (37:37)

Go ahead.

Steve Austin (37:37)

Bill loves everyone that lists this podcast.

Bill Goldberg (37:39)

You know the. I know your podcast is very important, but there's only one person I'm going to answer this phone for, and it's. It's that person.

Steve Austin (37:46)

You better answer it. All right, here we are back with Bill Goldberg. It's car central. Got a call it was the bat phone. Bill is in trouble. I'm grilling the steaks he'll be sweeping out the kitchen and doing all kinds of stuff. Talk to me about this 73Trans AM dude. It's reminiscent of my 71 fiber formula twin hood scoops. For me, the single scoop there TA style. I love the Pontiac Trans Am.

Bill Goldberg (38:15)

I grew up Burr Reynolds was an idol of mine. Smoking the Bandit obviously that era. The first car I ever test drove and fell in love with was a 70 Ram Air Ford Trans Am like I told you. And it was so fast it screwed. Scared the dog out of me. And I wanted one. My mom wouldn't let me get one. So what I liked was the 70 and the 73 have that cool shark looking nose on it. Yeah. But I couldn't afford it, so I got the 76. So once I came into whatever I went and I, I bought this car right here. I.

Steve Austin (38:46)

This is a Texas car, right?

Bill Goldberg (38:47)

Yeah, I bought it in Houston at Corvette Classics. I ever, like I said, every time I went to a different town, I, I pick up the auto saver. Auto trader. Yeah, auto trader. And man, I bought my Blazer like that. I bought, man, I bought like hey.

Steve Austin (39:04)

What happened to that Blazer?

Bill Goldberg (39:05)

I remember that it's in Albuquerque, I think it is or something.

Steve Austin (39:09)

You sold it?

Bill Goldberg (39:10)

No, it's still sitting there in pieces. I gotta figure it out.

Steve Austin (39:13)

How many miles you have on this.

Bill Goldberg (39:14)

TA50, 57,000 on this AS I'm label. Yeah, it's cool, man. The only thing, it's an automatic and I don't like that because it's no fun to really bang through the gears because you can't bang through the gears. But it's, it's so rare that you know, it's really cool.

Steve Austin (39:32)

Will you take 15,000 for it? No. Okay. Moving on to the Chevrolet Biscayne.

Bill Goldberg (39:37)

We talked about it.

Steve Austin (39:39)

Not on the podcast.

Bill Goldberg (39:40)

Oh, we didn't.

Steve Austin (39:41)

This thing is awesome, dude. Talk to me about this kind of whale tail. Basically the fin back here.

Bill Goldberg (39:49)

The One thing about 1959 and cars was the art deco era, you know, was still seriously in play and come to its prominence. And there you see it right there. It looks like the Batmobile. It's like the Impala. It's the cheap, cheap man's version of the Impala. This was a car that I bought at good guys here in San Diego like 15 years ago.

Steve Austin (40:10)

And you got it when the getting was good.

Bill Goldberg (40:11)

I got it when the getting was good. The car is an original 348Tri barrel car. Four speed car, which is really cool. Original interior, original paint. It turned out that when I replaced them springs in the back, it was a moonshine car because they had shims in the springs, which prohibits it under load from bouncing in the back. So you can put two and two together and figure that one out. But it's a badass car. It's the cheapest car that I have. I paid exactly $15,000 for $15,000 for it. But I'll be damned.

Steve Austin (40:43)

That's back in the day if I.

Bill Goldberg (40:44)

Take that for it.

Steve Austin (40:45)

That was back in the day when again, people.

Bill Goldberg (40:47)

People seem to think it's of the coolest cars that I have. So it's. It's a pretty cool investment. It's fun. I load the dogs in it, man, and I go down to the beach.

Steve Austin (40:55)

Bill, I asked a hard questions on this show. Here's one for you. Will you take $16,000 for it for that? Dude, you paid 15. I'm asking you the hard question. All you got to do is say, no appreciation, man.

Bill Goldberg (41:06)

That was like 10 years ago. Like a dollar a year. No, thank you.

Steve Austin (41:10)

All right, I just got rejected. I'm just going to load up and go. All right, talk to me about this cobra replica.

Bill Goldberg (41:18)

This is.

Steve Austin (41:19)

There's some history behind this.

Bill Goldberg (41:21)

Yeah. As I said, I was neighbors with The Elliot's for 10 years when I was at the Falcons and first got into wrestling. And they did a deal with superformance, which was a place that did aftermarket bodies of cobras. And they would blend. The body was from superform performance with the NASCAR motor that they had just used in the race. And that would produce a cobra that weighed like 2200 pounds and had between 7 and 900 horsepower.

Steve Austin (41:51)

That's sick.

Bill Goldberg (41:52)

So I pop wheelies in this car and it's. It's a death trap. My wife calls it the coffin. But why not have it? It's pretty cool. One of the coolest stories I have with this car, other than popping the front end off the ground at 90. First car. First time I took Wanda's dad, who's a nice Canadian, French Canadian, older gentleman who came down and very gentle, smaller gentleman who fits perfectly in the car. And I look like a monkey fucking a football. But we're going down the road, man. And I bought this house primarily because of, you know, its location, because of the road and all this kind of stuff. The road's really cool. Coming up to it. So, man, I'm banging. I'm banging first gear, and I shift to second gear, right? When I shift to second gear and get on the throttle, the Bolt that holds the windshield snaps in half and flies back and hits me right in the sunglasses. Man. I thought that was the coolest thing ever because there was so much torque in this thing that it just completely snapped the bolt right off the windshield. And he was holding on for dear life. But it was fun.

Steve Austin (43:02)

He probably thought that you were the craziest that ever took a ride with.

Bill Goldberg (43:06)

Yeah, yeah. But he was. I'm family. So.

Steve Austin (43:10)

Hey, talk to me about. I don't want to knock your canister over there. Oh, dude. This is the one and only. Introduce it, Bill.

Bill Goldberg (43:20)

It's called the Lawman Super Boss man. Anybody out there with a computer, if you're over like two years old, you probably have one, Google it. You owe yourself as a red blooded American to Google this car. This car was campaigned in Vietnam during 70 to 72. And it was. The reasoning behind this car was because there was a corporate lawyer at Chrysler who was a drag racer named Al Eckstrand. And he was tired of seeing servicemen coming back and paying 3,500 bucks for a car and wrapping themselves around a telephone pole because it had 500 horsepower and they didn't know how to drive. So he took these cool, badass cars over to Vietnam and taught these guys safety driving like through courses and all kind of shit, right? So this along with one other car exactly like it was where the one was a PR car, one was the, the car that would boost the morale. The guys who, you know, were in the VA and couldn't come out and take part in the drive and they could come to the window and see this badass motherfucker, you know, spit 1200 horsepower out and rip down the tarmac and, you know, see some American pride. Red, white and blue go down there. And long story short, one of them got crushed over in Vietnam and C130 went back to the States and got this one. And over 300,000 servicemen saw it back in the day. And I bought it, reenacted the tour with Ford, and now my son owns it.

Steve Austin (44:52)

And where did you find this car.

Bill Goldberg (44:55)

At Bill Parrot Jackson. I saw a special on it on 60 Minutes in November. The following January I was in Jan, I was in Japan and a buddy of mine said, hey man, he called me at 4 o' clock in the morning, said, hey man, you ought to see this car they brought on stage. They started up and blew all the plants off the street. Stage, you know, some inside information. Is the gas monkey garage guys the money behind it? That's who I bought it from.

Steve Austin (45:21)

Jesus what's the name? Richard Rollins.

Bill Goldberg (45:23)

No, his. His. His guy. The dude with the wavy hair stuff. Not Rollins, but the other guy.

Steve Austin (45:30)

Okay.

Bill Goldberg (45:30)

The guy who always shows up with the briefcase. Dennis Collins. Yeah, Dennis. Dennis bought. Dennis sold me this. Dennis used to drive this to work every day.

Steve Austin (45:38)

Why'd he sell it to you? Because this is.

Bill Goldberg (45:40)

Because he didn't know what it was. I paid 120 grand for it. It's worth 20 times that.

Steve Austin (45:46)

Un. Fucking believable. Now when I see the 429. That is the 429 cobra jet, blown and injected.

Bill Goldberg (45:53)

So it's got 1200 horsepower built by Connie Coletta. Only automatic left in the world. They only built two of them. The other one was crushed. This is the only automatic 898 miles on it.

Steve Austin (46:04)

Do you ever take a Singapore?

Bill Goldberg (46:06)

No, I don't right now. Did when I reenacted the tour. But I'll put it on the trailer and take it down to Pendleton when a bunch of guys are coming back from deployment so they can see it, you know, and it gives them some pride. But other than that, I don't. I don't run it.

Steve Austin (46:20)

I love the Hoosier slicks on the back. I've always liked the. I'm a big guy that just, you know, font and lettering catches my eye. And a lot of times, being an NHRA fan as much as I am, to see those things is pretty cool. Let's talk about the last car because we got you in trouble and we got to go grill some steaks.

Bill Goldberg (46:38)

I ain't in trouble. I just got to go eat.

Steve Austin (46:41)

Talk to me about this Ford Thunderbird, because this car. Break it down.

Bill Goldberg (46:47)

62T bird. My grandmother's car, God rest her soul.

Steve Austin (46:50)

We used to.

Bill Goldberg (46:51)

She's the one that I used to sit and watch Texas championship wrestling from the sport of Toy Marina with Fritz Von Erich and all the Von Erichs and. And Jesus Christ. That was a long time ago, but it was a lot of fun, man. And that's what got me into the business and got my curiosity about it, you know, this car is my brother's car right now, but it is a 62T bird that my grandmother bought new and I used to drive it to high school. And it's got a 390. It's badass. It's cool because you push up the. The. You push up the lever and the steering wheel shoots over to the. To the right or to the left, I can't remember. But like a 500 pound guy can slide into this car, because the steering wheel completely moves over to the side. So it's cool. It's cool. But I mean, it's a car, man. You slam the door, and the entire thing shakes. It's a.

Steve Austin (47:49)

That's a steel car.

Bill Goldberg (47:51)

It's a big, badass, heavy car. Yeah. We're hitting a curb with it, you know, sliding around the corner, slamming into a curb. When I was a kid, I wasn't too.

Steve Austin (48:00)

Will you take 15,000 for it?

Bill Goldberg (48:01)

Not at all.

Steve Austin (48:02)

Hey, out of all the cars, as we make our way to the door, over here, we have more cars to see, but we're going to cut it short. Out of all the things you've had, Bill, I know that lawman is very special to you, but I know you've traded cars before, and I've come here and looked in your garage. Your favorite car of all time. If you had to pick one car that you would never sell, taking the lawman out of the equation, what would it be?

Bill Goldberg (48:28)

Man, I don't. I don't. I don't have one. Because there's nothing I own that means more to me than that. There's nothing I own that it's sentimental enough. Oh, Wanda's truck. Yeah, yeah. Hands down. And that thing, we got 37 grand of that. That's by far no. By no means the most expensive vehicle that we have. But it's for a sentimental value, which I think is completely lost on today's society. Automobile industry. I could go on forever. The memories that are bestowed in that vehicle are priceless.

Steve Austin (49:04)

Okay. And then finally, talking about a daily driver that's been here in the driveway, you've got a 92 Porsche 911. Back in the day, I guess, WWF, I had a 2000, give or take, Porsche 911. And then someone let me drive their 911 Twin Turbo. So I bought my buddy's Twin Turbo 911, 2001 model. 5,000 miles. I got it right. And you've driven one. It's not as sick as the 700 horsepower horsepower that you traded Jesse with, but, I mean, it was a whole different animal. I almost preferred just regular aspiration 911 because you could wind it out with the twin turbo. Again, I don't have anything as quick as what you've got, but it was more, you know, just go through it. To me, the normally aspirated thing was just. Or naturally aspirated thing was almost more fun to drive.

Bill Goldberg (49:53)

Absolutely. They always are. But the reason why I didn't like my twin Turbo was. It was all wheel drive, so therefore it was triptonic, you know, so you could like. And power steering, so you could like. Yeah, tectonic, so you could do it with your finger. So for me, there's no skill involved there. You know, there's balls involved, but there's no skill. That Porsche right there, rear wheel drive with that like 600 horsepower in that thing. That thing weighs nothing. You go around the corner in that thing and you're dead.

Steve Austin (50:20)

That car has 600 horsepower?

Bill Goldberg (50:22)

Yeah. The one up at the house? Yeah, absolutely.

Steve Austin (50:24)

What's the motor?

Bill Goldberg (50:25)

It's a very well massaged turbo aftermarket.

Steve Austin (50:31)

I didn't know it was.

Bill Goldberg (50:31)

Oh, yeah.

Steve Austin (50:32)

Did you ever have a rough Porsche?

Bill Goldberg (50:33)

No, no. But I'd sure love one.

Steve Austin (50:36)

Okay.

Bill Goldberg (50:36)

I'd love one, man. And you know, back in the day, I had a. There's a funny story about a Porsche. I had a. I went to Beverly Hills Classics or whatever and I went in and I wanted to. I don't know what I wanted. And I got in Janet Jackson's DB8 and it was too small. And then I got in this and it was too small. And then I found a 360 Modena that was just awesome, man. And it was black with yellow piping. Bought it, Boom, bing, bang, boom. But in the meantime, I sat in a twin turbo Porsche. So I'm sitting at the house, I was about two weeks after I bought the Ferrari, and I get a phone call and the guy says, hey, man, you know, there's a trailer on the way down to your house. We're sending you the Porsche. We just want you to drive it for a couple weeks. No payment, no nothing. Just drive it. Take it, you know, take it. See how you like it. They knew I loved it, so obviously that's like. The guy asked me to drive the car on stage. So what happened?

Steve Austin (51:33)

I bought the thing.

Bill Goldberg (51:34)

And. And I sold it. This is even funnier part of the story. I sold it to Jesse. The reason why I sold it because. Remember those Buns of Steel ads?

Steve Austin (51:43)

Yeah.

Bill Goldberg (51:44)

Okay, so, like, this is wonderful. I bury myself, like more than any higher profile person that's ever been on your show. I'm not even high profile. I never was even. But, like, how I digress. So I. She's like best friends with my. My brother's wife, right? Like the bones of steel girl. And so I'm over the house and I got the Porsche outside, and she walks in and she goes, whose penis extension is that in the driveway? I'm like, okay, Bing. Bang, boom. I'm selling that motherfucker tomorrow. I sold it and look who bought it. Poetic justice.

Steve Austin (52:28)

Poetic justice.

Bill Goldberg (52:29)

Can we take a break on that?

Steve Austin (52:31)

Yeah, yeah, we take a break. Last thing you had, the Modena. You ever in Lamborghini? Stuff, Stuff or. Here's the thing I liked about Porsche.

Bill Goldberg (52:39)

Lambos are too small. Porsche are really big.

Steve Austin (52:42)

But, but Porsche, you know, you can get a big guy in a Porsche. But my point is, Porsche is working man's high performance car. Because you can drive the out of Summits every single day and it will.

Bill Goldberg (52:50)

Hold up, no question.

Steve Austin (52:51)

With the Ferrari, with all due respect, it's a world class supercar. The maintenance issues are way out of the.

Bill Goldberg (52:57)

My brother's got an Enzo. It's 35 grand for a tune up.

Steve Austin (53:00)

Exactly.

Bill Goldberg (53:01)

I'm not fabricating. It's 35 grand for a tune up. They got to take the motor out, you know, every time they tune it up. So I mean, it's, it's. At the end of the day, it's. It's all relative.

Steve Austin (53:10)

Last name, last question I got throw out there. Jay Leno just came over here a few days ago. You got your place in tip top condition for him to come out here. He marked out for which car?

Bill Goldberg (53:20)

My wife's 67 Mercury truck.

Steve Austin (53:23)

Really?

Bill Goldberg (53:23)

Yeah. I mean, the lawman, there's no doubt. But I mean, he marked out because the, the moral, the moral, the theme of the story, the theme of the episode was love story. Right? And so that's why we drove in the truck and had Wanda. Because I'm obviously head over heels in love with her. And she's the love that, you know, they, that her family has for that truck is, I guess they believe, more powerful than the love I have for the lawman. But at the end of the day, there's a long history, a 35 year history with. So, I mean, it fit right in the wheelhouse of their storytelling.

Steve Austin (54:00)

Bill, we're fixing to go to your house. We're gonna grill a steak. I got one final question for you. I have some hard questions here. Are you ready?

Bill Goldberg (54:08)

I'm ready for everything.

Steve Austin (54:09)

All right. I've got an offer for you.

Bill Goldberg (54:12)

You wanna.

Steve Austin (54:14)

You ready?

Bill Goldberg (54:15)

Yeah.

Steve Austin (54:16)

This is a shoot deal. You're hearing it here on the Steve Austin Show. I'm at Bill Goldberg's house. There's a plethora of cars around here. One of them has taken my eye and I'm in love with it. I'm offering you right now, Bill.

Bill Goldberg (54:29)

Oh, God. You can buy the law right there.

Steve Austin (54:33)

He's pointing at a Yamaha Rhino. I'm a Kawasaki mule player, but not.

Bill Goldberg (54:39)

Not is it just a Yamaha, which is off brand, but it's literally been flipped. I would guarantee you at least 15 times and it still goes.

Steve Austin (54:48)

I gotta get you Kawasaki back to my offer. This is going to make the news all around the world. The lawman.

Bill Goldberg (54:54)

I want it 15 grand.

Steve Austin (54:57)

No, no, no. I'm gonna make you a legit offer. I'm offer you right now on the Steve Austin show podcast. I'm making you an offer of $150,000 for that car.

Bill Goldberg (55:07)

Well, thank you. I love you, Steve, and I respect you, you know, exponentially. But 150 grand would not get you the blower off that car. And the blower is original magnesium blower that was built and installed in that car back in 1970.

Steve Austin (55:22)

I'm gonna go you one better, bill. And this is a shoot. I'll give you $200,000 for that lawman car in on a jack.

Bill Goldberg (55:29)

I appreciate it very much, man, but I'll give you the jack for 200 grand. The lawman. Not a chance. I actually put it this way. The guy that I sold the, the Yanko to, which was, yeah, the Yanko Camaro, one of seven every ever built. And I, the guy paid a lot of money for that. He says to me, goldberg, man, seriously, you want to get rid of the lawman? And I said, well, no, but I will entertain an offer that I cannot refuse. And this comes from a guy who owns 11 yenko camaros and a number of convertible Hemi cars. I do not have enough money to buy your lawmen. So, I mean. And you know what, at the end of the day, it's worth a lot of money, but it's what, what it means to me as a red blooded American is fucking awesome. And it's cool to pass that down to my son and it's cool to see. I've actually had a couple guys come back from deployment and actually tell me that there are pictures in their garages of their dad in that car. That's bitching, man. That's cool. It was as much work as we do with the military and you're going to interview a seal, you know, or whatever afterwards. And as much stuff as I do, I'm going to the change of command at the Wounded Warrior West Battalion next weekend, man. I mean, we do so much stuff and the reality is they're the heroes. We don't do. We entertain them.

Steve Austin (56:59)

I agree with you.

Bill Goldberg (57:00)

So that means everything to me.

Steve Austin (57:02)

Okay, lawman, 300,000. Yes, sir.

Bill Goldberg (57:04)

No, no, not a chance.

Steve Austin (57:04)

Okay, 70 cuda. I'm gonna offer you right now 50,000.

Bill Goldberg (57:08)

70 cuda. Not a chance.

Steve Austin (57:11)

God damn it, bill. I drove 80 miles to talk your ass over to Steve Aust. You'll find. What the can I buy here? I ain't buying that rhino.

Bill Goldberg (57:18)

All I can tell you is the. The. The audio gold that you've been able to capture while you've been at Goldberg's garage has will far surpass any sale that you could have with any amount of. With any piece of metal that I have rolling on four wheels.

Steve Austin (57:34)

I want to put this out there. I want to put this out there, Bill, because you have a very valuable car collection. You bought them, all right?

Bill Goldberg (57:41)

You're.

Steve Austin (57:41)

You're very passionate about your cars, and I am as frugal as you are. These things have appreciated in value. Notice that when I offered stupid money, I offered below market value. So I knew you would say no. That's the saving grace. I don't want everybody to think I'm trying to be a big shot on the Steve Austin show. Are you ready to eat a steak?

Bill Goldberg (58:01)

Oh, yeah, I was ready. Yeah. Absolutely.

Steve Austin (58:04)

I'm offering $350,000 for the lawman right now. This is your last chance.

Bill Goldberg (58:10)

What did you say? $2,350,000. That. Honestly, if you were to offer me that. Listen, I swear to God. Look me in the eye. If you were to offer me that, I would maybe consider it. I wouldn't take it by any means, and I swear to you, I would have to consider it, and I don't think I'd take it.

Steve Austin (58:32)

You're just like that cactus right there. You're a real prick. I offered you 350 GS. You turned me down cold. Let's go and let's go eat a steak. Thank you for your time.

Bill Goldberg (58:42)

It's my pleasure, Steve. An honor and a privilege to be in your presence.

Steve Austin (58:45)

All right, everybody, give me the Go home Q. It's time to wrap up his podcast and ride off and sunset. But before I do, I'm going to give you guys something to watch. It's a short Little segment on YouTube, and a friend of mine, Matt, goes over to Bill Goldberg's house and talks to him about some of his car collection. Now, this is just a few of the cars that I saw. I wish I would have had a video camera with me because it could have captured so much more. So there's only a few cars. I saw many more cars, but Nonetheless, go to YouTube and search Bill Goldberg's restored classic cars and you'll hear Matt and Bill talk about some of the badass cars he's got. And again, man, when I was there, I should have had a damn video camera because he has some badass shit in there. And as you know, he turned down every offer I made on every single car he had. So I come out of there with nothing. You know what? Next time, now that I got some leverage, now that I have a 2003 Ford Focus Metallic P fully great certified mechanical condition, I'm going to drive that damn metallic P2003 Ford Focus up in there and I'll trade him for the lawman, dead even. Maybe I'll give him extra 1500 bucks, I don't know. But I want to thank Bill Goldberg one last time, because here's the thing. When you roll down to someone's crib and you're able to get a three hour podcast out of them. And we visited as well, that was a lot of damn work. But nonetheless, we had a blast.

Coming up on next Tuesday, I got in my 2016 Range Rover that I lease for business. I drove down to Huntington Beach, California and talked to probably the number one car designer in the world, Chip Foose of Foose Designs, because I've always been a huge fan of the show. Overhauling on tv, that's one of my favorite damn shows. And they ain't hardly shit good on TV anymore, except overhauling the Broken Skull challenge. So it's one of the few shows that I love to watch and I was watching an episode a couple of weeks back and I said, you know what? Hell, Chip's only down there hunting and beach. Let me make a drive down there and talk to the man. I'm a big fan of the show and I tell you what, I hope the interview I did with Chip does the shop enough justice because, man, when I rolled in there, we just started shooting the breeze and we shut the podcast off about 40 minutes in and he gave me the great grand tour. And I saw so much stuff that, I mean, when we started recording again, you just can't explain or I can't explain what these guys are capable of, how talented these guys are. It just goes back to the Goldberg garage thing I was telling you about. I wish I had a camera to show you what I was seeing, especially at Chip's place when he's talking about all these custom parts and he's got all these things laid out everywhere, and he's been working on some of these cars for over three, three years. It's absolutely amazing. And Chip is like a super chill, cool dude. And here's the thing. When you roll up on him to do so regular, normal, but when you start talking about cars, you realize you're talking to a complete genius. You might as well be talking about Einstein explaining E equals MC squared. And he does a great job of breaking it down so a working man like me can understand it.

Bill Goldberg (64:38)

But.

Steve Austin (64:38)

But I got to tell you, man, that dude is in a whole nother stratosphere. And it's one of those things where you really need a camera to understand what I'm talking about or what we're talking about or what I'm trying to talk about when I go have my conversation with Chip Foose. Anyway, it was a great time talking to Chip. I think you'll enjoy the conversation coming up on Tuesday's family friendly podcast. And then coming up next Thursday, I've got the one and only in Hodgkinson Vampiro of El Rey Lucha Underground coming to the show. He comes over to 316 Gimmick street and we talk about all kinds of crazy shit. First time I ever met the dude in person, we sat down, had a beer or two and had a great conversation. It was good meeting him. And he's coming up on the Thursday podcast. And Ted Fowler361 is right around the corner as well. There's been a lot of headaches, hassles, and horse shit down there at the ranch going on. And we're going to talk about it all kinds of coming up real quick on the Thursday show. Because when I talk to Teddy, if we ain't got no four letter words, we ain't got no podcast. Anyway, keep listening, folks. The 62nd AP news headlines are coming up next, and until then, my name is Steve Austin, and I will catch your ass down the road.
