One of my favorite videos that you ever did was that, was it BBI that did it? Yeah. Oh, Joey Seeley's car? Yes. You know that car's for sale. Is it really? Yup. You want it? No. That car's for sale. That's a lovely car. It's a beautiful car. It is for sale. It was called Project Nasty and I think you got it down to maybe 2,200 pounds. It was the lightest 964 I ever drove. But it was so light it had no headliner. Yeah, no nothing. No metal inside of it and everything. I remember watching it going, look at that thing. Yeah. But that's what you said that was really interesting was that this is the kind of car you build when you, you know, you make cars for other people. Yeah. And you want to build something for yourself. You build something like this. The most focused kind of thing. That company's known for like these really high end like custom builds of Porsches and they make crazy fast things. Dude, you can buy, I mean, you can write a check right now. You can just write a check, walk away, come back in two months and have like a 1500 horsepower 911. That's because these guys, you know, these guys race runways out here now. That's like the thing now is run runway racing. So they go out and they go side by side half mile and they're doing like 220 230 in the half mile. You ever see that video? I'm sure you have of the guy in the GTR on the Nurburgring and just catches air. Oh yeah. Dude, that's fucking terrifying. Nurburgring contests are. That's fucking terrifying. You should go drive the Nurburgring. If you have it, you really should. I just told you a guy fly. Yeah, but you would fly through the air. You wouldn't fly. You would drive the Nurburgring in a more normal car that doesn't fly. Yeah, I would drive something. And by the way, after that, they changed, they re sculpted that section of track. Really? Yes. They, they, for a period of time, they imposed a speed limit even during races through that section to prevent that from happening again. They changed, I believe the rules of the racing series to slow the cars down. And then I believe they re sculpted the track there as well after that incident. So they couldn't catch air like that? Or at least to make it substantially less likely. Yeah. Cars catching air is a, you goose, then your next internet dive, Google, Google race car, race cars catch air. No. No. I'm going to attempt to look for that, but I just, there's just. Yeah, you can't do a Nurburgring crash and not end up with. People are going so fast and people lose it all the time. Dude, it's the, it's such a fun, scary, crazy place. It's every, every reputation that every bit of reputation it's earned, it deserves. And it's, but you go to doing it is like one of the more unique experience of your life. And you don't have to like, you know, like you said, you don't have to go for time. You can just go and drive it as a fast, fun road, which is what I've done. Because Americans, we should be ashamed that the Germans have the Nurburgring. I mean, come on. Hitler built it. If we want to be, how would it really be? Did he really? I mean, he didn't physically lay the asphalt, but it was a Hitler. It was a forthright superiority thing right alongside the auto bond. So that's race tracks, best race cars, best highways as part of their deal. Wow. Well, that makes sense. There was so much engineering that came out of that group of fucking psychos. Yeah. Amazing. Oh, speaking of which, I read a book you love called Blitzed Drugs of the Third Reich. It was basically just about how much meth they were all on and it is nuts. Of course. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Dude, they've been on speed forever. As soon as they figured out speed, people were on speed. And they're giving it to the pilots and the soldiers. Oh yeah. Hitler had a speed, he was doing speed balls like fucking John Belushi. I mean, it was crazy. Yeah. And there was, they always theorized that they had given the Japanese amphetamines to get them to crash into the plane. Crashed their planes into the boats rather. Yeah. The Kamikazes. Yeah. That was the thought. Totally believable. Methum up and fucking send them to war. There's a story in this book about they're at the very end of the war where they invented these single person submarines. Imagine one, basically just a floating coffin. And they sent these people out with like 10 tablets of meth and nothing else. And this little submarine that had a little gun and like none of them came back. They all. I just can't. Not that I have sympathy for Nazis, but messed up soldiers in death submarines. Maybe a little bit. Is that what it was? That little thing? I don't think it worked. I think of this, they tried a bunch of times in it. Oh my God. It's a fucking sketchy. Oh my God. Yeah. It doesn't get much sketchier than that. There is the one with the little bubble on top. Is it the German one man thing? Yeah. That's it. The picture I saw had the bubble somewhere in Columbia. There was a dude with a thousand pounds of coke and one of those right now making his way. They had that video where they had the Coast Guard knocked on the submarine. They had a cartel sub. They just knocked and opened up. Was it the Coast Guard that got the guys? Yeah, they're like literally knocking on the top. Literally pulled up. They jumped on top of a goddamn submarine and made the guys open the sub. That's so crazy. Bro, it is bonkers. It's right out of a goddamn Steven Seagal movie. It's crazy. That's fucking so nuts. They jump on top of the roof of this fucking submarine. Holy shit. Look at this. Yeah. See, so they're chasing them. They're screaming. Oh my God. Yo, this is the craziest shit ever, dude. Dude, how crazy is this? This is like a 25 foot long sub. Yeah. So these guys are following behind it. He jumps off. Look at this bad motherfucker. So do you think this sub is capable of full submerging? Or this is the closest to sub that it gets? Not full. Probably can't go down like a hundred feet, but maybe like 10. Holy fucking shit. This dude straight up knocked on the door and they opened it. That's so crazy. I need your search terms. You are finding way better things than me on the internet, bro. Who is, you know, like who is taking subs and filling them up with coke and making them wait in another country? How many dudes are doing that? They had that whole big ship in Philadelphia, that cargo ship that was supposedly owned by Chase, but like had 200 or 400 million dollars worth of cocaine on it. Really? There was one, the Paris to Dakar rally is, it's like a car race. Cars like my Safari are built for that. And there's race cars and there's race motorcycles and quads and stuff, off-road vehicles that do this very long off-road race. And then there's these support trucks, right? And they race the trucks too. So it's like these Camas and like man trucks, big off-road tires, huge engines. The trucks are in the race. And so these coke smugglers, the trucks, in the back of the truck is enough parts to like rebuild the whole car. And the truck has a racing driver and a five mechanics crew and they chase the car. And if the car breaks, they fucking pull it over and set up a shop and rebuild the car, right? But they're in the race too. And so these coke smugglers bought one of these Dakar race trucks, did it up like the livery and just like couple miles after the start, just like entered the race. And they entered the race with this truck full of blow. And they got stopped like, I don't know, somewhere in the race. They got arrested with this race truck full of coke. What is this, Jamie? It's El Chapo's. That's El Chapo's? 13,000 pounds of cocaine. 13,000 pounds. I'm sorry. That's like seven and a half ton. Wow. That is crazy. 237 bales of coke. Oh my God. 13,000 pounds. Jesus. This one was in Europe. It had a hundred million pounds worth. Oh my God. These guys are just building this shit in there. There's tons and tons of them. Yeah. What was that movie with Ray Liotta? No Escape? They built the sub. Ray Liotta and Kevin Dillon in that shit? No. Yeah. What was that movie? No, I think it was No Escape when they're on the prison island and they get the, they built the sub to get out there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
