[00:05] of jaylon's garage this show much like

[00:08] this garbage truck is high-tech and this

[00:11] year we're not just reaching for the

[00:12] stars the source new technology in here

[00:14] there's a good chance the whole thing

[00:15] just blows up

[00:35] state-of-the-art technology I'm excited

[00:39] and terrified at the same time it's the

[00:41] world's first methane-powered tractor

[00:43] need more cow farts

[00:45] I just hope we all walk away in one

[00:48] piece I am quite a good driver

[00:51] but no promises

[00:53] is this where we make the smooth exit

[00:54] yeah

[00:57] [Music]

[01:09] iconic garage the man himself Jay Leno

[01:11] Jay how are you man good very good

[01:13] thanks for coming we appreciate it

[01:14] thanks for having us out this place is

[01:16] unbelievable it's one thing to watch the

[01:18] show it's one thing to watch the Youtube

[01:19] Clips but it's even bigger in person so

[01:21] this is unbelievable thanks for having

[01:22] me well it's a lot of fun we just it's

[01:23] no real theme to this it's really more

[01:25] money than brains Club it just collect

[01:27] stuff that I like people go what's your

[01:29] overall theme it's not it's not like I

[01:32] have to have this model Ferrari or

[01:33] whatever it's just stuff I like you know

[01:35] and you've been doing this for a long

[01:37] time long time you keep buying the

[01:39] buildings you run out of space here man

[01:41] yeah I'm pre-social media that's so old

[01:43] it's almost hard to believe but yeah

[01:45] it's true well speaking of social media

[01:47] yeah Elon Musk is on the show tonight

[01:48] correct and you got to go to SpaceX and

[01:50] the people are loving the clips on

[01:52] social media whether it's YouTube or

[01:54] Instagram or Tick Tock and SpaceX is

[01:56] really fascinating and it's something a

[01:58] little bit different that you did on the

[01:59] show so what was the coolest part of

[02:00] that experience well it's fascinating

[02:02] because you realized two and a half

[02:03] years ago there was nothing there yeah I

[02:05] mean Cape Canaveral took years to build

[02:08] I mean this was done in two and a half

[02:10] years and he sent off dozens of rockets

[02:12] from there already

[02:14] um yeah it is fascinating because it's

[02:17] all well when you're my age everybody

[02:18] young but there's just a sense of it's

[02:21] almost like a big college or a high

[02:23] school you know and as you talk to Elon

[02:26] people come up and go you know excuse me

[02:28] um the trajectory here oh yeah yeah okay

[02:31] okay and you know he's carrying a lot of

[02:34] things in his head I don't think most

[02:36] people have ever met a genius we live in

[02:38] Hollywood you meet Geniuses on a daily

[02:40] basis but they're not successful

[02:41] Geniuses because something else has

[02:43] always kept them down or ruined their

[02:45] chances you know it's fun to meet a

[02:48] dreamer who is a practical dreamer you

[02:50] know Elon first came to my garage in

[02:52] 2007 with the Prototype uh electric

[02:55] sports car you know and I thought this

[02:57] is kind of interesting electric at that

[02:59] and that was an error when electric cars

[03:01] were golf carts they were slow and kind

[03:04] of cumbersome and yeah they got pretty

[03:07] good mileage accordingly but there

[03:09] weren't really something you know I

[03:10] remember him saying to me at the time uh

[03:13] what I want to do is put charging

[03:15] stations all up and down the coast so

[03:17] you could travel to San Francisco and

[03:18] I'm going yeah right that'll happen but

[03:20] you know something as he was building

[03:22] that prototype he was built getting the

[03:25] infrastructure and and putting it in

[03:27] because even the major manufacturers

[03:29] don't have

[03:30] infrastructure they go to somebody else

[03:32] and we're using Electrify America or

[03:34] whatever it might be but it's not there

[03:36] so that was the first sign that there

[03:39] was a genius here you know and

[03:42] unlike a lot I mean he lives on a

[03:44] trailer a little Airstream trailer not

[03:46] exactly a billionaire lifestyle no

[03:48] there's not there's no yacht and there's

[03:50] no huge gold finger looking thing and

[03:52] you know petting a cat or any of that

[03:54] nonsense you know I mean he's he's just

[03:57] uh

[03:58] well

[04:00] I mean I think he's a true genius I

[04:02] think it's safe to say because that's a

[04:04] term people throw around but there's

[04:07] really only been 4 000 in recorded

[04:09] history and he is and he's one of them

[04:11] but he seems like a regular guy and he

[04:14] talks like a regular guy and he gets

[04:17] upset and angry and frustrated like a

[04:19] regular guy but you realize

[04:22] and he also has the manufacturing

[04:24] knowledge you know when we talked

[04:26] he said something I never heard anyone

[04:28] say before he said it costs a billion

[04:30] dollars to put one gallon of water on

[04:33] Mars he wants to get that down to a

[04:35] hundred thousand dollars a gallon which

[04:36] still sounds ridiculous of course but

[04:38] it's not a billion it's a hundred

[04:40] thousand if it's a hundred thousand it

[04:42] go down to ten thousand it can go down

[04:43] to a thousand you know and he's got this

[04:46] plan to build a thousand Rockets which

[04:48] every three days will drop supplies

[04:51] three days every three days crazy a

[04:53] rocket will land on Mars and drop off

[04:55] supplies but you can only go every two

[04:57] years right to Mars

[04:59] well I'm not sure yeah I'm not sure

[05:01] exactly how it works but just the idea

[05:04] that you go okay and then you go to his

[05:06] facility and you see hundreds of these

[05:09] largest jet engines most powerful in the

[05:12] world ever made

[05:14] lined up and you go okay I guess he is

[05:16] going to build these so it it it's a

[05:19] fascinating experience

[05:21] just because you expect Geniuses to be

[05:25] I don't know just they would seem like a

[05:28] genius but he doesn't seem like he seems

[05:30] like a regular guy until you get into

[05:33] Math and Science and Manufacturing and

[05:35] every other thing yeah that's all Next

[05:37] Level stuff yeah and when you realize

[05:39] he's putting things on Mars while he's

[05:42] running SpaceX and now I guess Twitter

[05:45] you know so yeah it's hilarious to me

[05:48] it's very funny well let's take a look

[05:50] at this clip right now it's an all new

[05:51] episode tonight with Jay and Elon and

[05:54] we're going to look at the prototype for

[05:55] a rocket ship right now let's check out

[05:56] the clip here

[05:58] this is what goes all the way to orbit

[06:00] this sits on top of the booster right

[06:02] the ship is about 165 feet pole yeah I

[06:05] don't think anybody has any idea how big

[06:07] this is yeah it's a 30 foot in diameter

[06:10] on the inside yeah because when you see

[06:12] it on TV you're watching it from a half

[06:13] a mile away yeah I mean you're sending

[06:16] the Empire State Building into outer

[06:17] space basically here yeah it's a

[06:19] gigantic building it's in fact the the

[06:21] payload area has more volume than a 747.

[06:24] wow so but we can get closer if you want

[06:27] yes can we get a little closer

[06:31] so Jay I think you put it perfectly it's

[06:33] like the Empire State Building going up

[06:36] that's insane just the term rocket ship

[06:38] when you say it it sounds silly it

[06:40] sounds like you're in a Leslie Nielsen

[06:42] movie you know this is real life this is

[06:43] happening yeah and oh here's our rocket

[06:45] yeah okay and it is it's literally

[06:48] sending a building into space i i it's

[06:52] it really boggles the mind and when you

[06:54] go there it's all kids running around

[06:57] by kids I mean people in their 30 and

[07:00] below you know with computers and things

[07:02] and and just all this seems to be

[07:04] happening it doesn't seem to be any sort

[07:06] of you know Rhyme or Reason to it it's

[07:09] not you know in the old days you would

[07:11] have had guys from IBM with white shirts

[07:12] and a dark top it's a much different

[07:14] vibe yeah it's a much different vibe

[07:16] it's very laid back and

[07:19] I noticed anyone could approach Elon

[07:21] with the problem and say Elon excuse me

[07:24] I'm this whatever it is if you didn't

[07:27] know he might get upset but the fact

[07:30] that anybody could approach him and ask

[07:32] him how to solve a problem I I found

[07:34] fascinating as well he wasn't some

[07:37] isolated guy he's walking around in a

[07:38] t-shirt you wouldn't know which guy's

[07:40] the head guy you think oh that guy was a

[07:43] suit no it's not him he's just a regular

[07:45] guy yeah this was fascinating but he's

[07:48] always been ahead of the curve right you

[07:49] mentioned the fact that he was on the

[07:51] show with the beginnings of everything

[07:53] with Tesla Tesla as you mentioned on

[07:55] power launch yesterday is still the

[07:56] leader when it comes to like right right

[07:58] and the idea of being ahead of the Curve

[08:01] sometimes I think like I think out of

[08:03] the box but I don't because I remember

[08:04] saying to him so you think we'll have

[08:06] 200 mile an hour trains he goes no I'm

[08:08] building 800 miles I go 800 miles okay

[08:12] it never occurred to me to build an 800

[08:15] mile an hour it didn't even seem

[08:16] practical we have it in Japan we have it

[08:19] in parts of Europe okay maybe we could

[08:22] have that here no but he's talking 800

[08:24] underground in a tunnel you know like a

[08:27] vacuum tube and you go oh oh oh that was

[08:31] that wasn't even in my imagination

[08:34] so yeah it's fascinating well I'm sure

[08:36] another thing that wasn't your

[08:37] imagination is seeing old cars with the

[08:40] electrified situation now so Tony Hawk

[08:42] is on the show tonight right Tony

[08:44] Hawkins and he has his Corvette which

[08:45] has an electric motor I mean that must

[08:47] blow your mind to see how cars have

[08:48] expanded and grown all these years well

[08:50] it's you know it's all still hot running

[08:52] which is people get all upset about this

[08:54] but you know Corvettes are valuable but

[08:58] they're not rare and they're enough of

[09:00] them that are in bad shape that you

[09:02] could Electrify it and you could keep

[09:04] the if you ever wanted to go back to

[09:06] original again that's the smart thing

[09:07] about a lot of these like the people who

[09:09] do Porsches old Porsches and Electrify

[09:11] them they take the Porsche motor out

[09:13] they put it on the Shelf they put the

[09:15] electric motor in and they can go back

[09:17] at any time there's no cutting there's

[09:19] no you're not bastardizing the car in

[09:22] any way you know so it's just an

[09:24] interesting thing you know it's like rap

[09:26] and rock and roll they're both music you

[09:29] just might like one more than the other

[09:30] and to me I find with this

[09:32] electrification thing you have a lot of

[09:34] young people who don't really have an

[09:36] interest in the greasy parts of cars but

[09:39] like the artificial intelligence the

[09:42] electricity oh and that's their heart

[09:45] rotting okay and and there's plenty of

[09:47] room for both you know and I think it's

[09:50] just expanding the genre that's all well

[09:52] I think people are going to like this

[09:53] one let's check out the clip right now

[09:54] this is Tony Hawk on tonight's episode

[09:56] of Jay Leno's Garage let's watch it

[09:58] right now

[09:59] I'm gonna get this skateboarding

[10:00] nonsense out of his head and get a real

[10:03] job as an insurance salesman or

[10:04] something they were surprisingly

[10:05] supportive yeah yeah yeah my dad passed

[10:08] away in 95 that was right before I had

[10:10] my big waves of success right but my mom

[10:13] she used to literally stop strangers in

[10:16] the airport say my son is Tony Hawk

[10:18] that's funny it's nice when I'm not with

[10:19] her but when I was with her it's awkward

[10:21] yeah yeah what did your dad do uh he was

[10:24] in the Navy during World War II wow and

[10:27] then uh he retired in San Diego it was

[10:30] kind of a jack of all trades so he did a

[10:32] lot of handyman work he worked on cars

[10:34] he actually formed the national

[10:35] skateboard Association when there was no

[10:37] governing or sanctioning body for skate

[10:40] events oh is that right yeah so he was

[10:42] the biggest supporter oh that's pretty

[10:43] cool

[10:45] all right

[10:49] Jay one of the things I think you do the

[10:50] best is getting people to open up and

[10:52] just be conversational and Casual while

[10:54] on the road Tony's talking about his

[10:56] father and his mother how do you do that

[10:57] with folks when they come on well it's

[10:58] interesting because he's not a real car

[11:00] guy right his his thing was

[11:02] what would be practical and efficient

[11:06] without having to get greasy and dirty

[11:08] oh electrification so that's that's what

[11:11] it is you know it's like to a lot of

[11:13] people a car is a million Appliance like

[11:15] an refrigerator or something like that

[11:17] so if you could just plug it in and

[11:18] never have to worry about it that's the

[11:20] real selling point electric cars those

[11:22] of us enjoy working on them well you'll

[11:24] always have this stuff it'll be around

[11:25] for a few hundred years I mean people

[11:28] are still restoring cars from the turn

[11:30] to the last century right so so the fact

[11:32] that it's going to disappear I I don't

[11:34] think is is going to happen so one of

[11:36] the cool things about the fact they're

[11:37] in season seven is that you have people

[11:39] that are coming back on the show right

[11:40] Kelly Clarkson is one of those people

[11:42] what was it like to have her back on

[11:43] that's coming up in a few episodes I met

[11:45] Kelly when she won American Idol and she

[11:47] came on the tonight she goes that was

[11:48] part of the deal you win the show then

[11:50] you go on American Idol then you sing a

[11:52] song and then what usually happens is

[11:53] you disappear and you never heard of

[11:55] again but you know she actually became a

[11:57] huge star yeah you know it's people like

[11:59] her Jennifer Hudson you know whatever so

[12:01] and you know and she's a great kid she's

[12:03] pays her dues I like people like that

[12:05] she earned her each step of the way you

[12:08] know and here it is like 20 years more

[12:10] than 20 years later since she was with

[12:12] me on American Idol and we've been

[12:13] friends ever since so she's done the

[12:15] show a few times and you know she's game

[12:17] for everything she's a country girl you

[12:19] know she likes driving tractors and

[12:21] getting her hands dirty there's none of

[12:23] this oh I'm sorry it's it's my light on

[12:26] this side of me you don't get any of

[12:27] that nonsense like you do with a lot of

[12:29] people you know you have very very down

[12:30] home very down to earth well I think the

[12:32] people are going to like this episode

[12:33] let's check out a clip right now this

[12:35] guy and Kelly Clarkson with some hay and

[12:37] some tractors let's check it out right

[12:39] now

[12:40] that's right Jay I'm amazing

[12:43] [Music]

[12:48] what's that flower one here on a slow

[12:51] start y'all to slow start the physic

[12:53] getting the hay in the buckets is he

[12:55] going over the hay bales

[13:01] need more cow farts

[13:07] so that was Kelly Clarkson she's coming

[13:09] up in a few episodes and speaking of

[13:11] later on the season you got to hang out

[13:12] with President Biden and listen you've

[13:14] had some very cool people on the show

[13:15] but president of the United States

[13:16] Electric truck that must have been

[13:18] really special for you and you had the

[13:19] Secret Service to deal with as well so

[13:21] what was that like yeah well that was

[13:22] interesting you know what's so funny

[13:23] I've been doing this a long time so I

[13:24] knew Biden when he was just a politician

[13:26] running I had him on

[13:28] I remember teasing about his hair

[13:30] implants like 25 years ago you know so

[13:34] that he was a joke in the monologue you

[13:36] know so we've been friends for a long

[13:38] time and he's he's a car guy his dad was

[13:41] a big Chevy distributor had a dealership

[13:43] and uh when when he got married in 67

[13:46] his dad gave him a 67 Corvette which he

[13:49] still had a wedding gift yeah he still

[13:52] hasn't still because you know president

[13:53] is never allowed to drive you know that

[13:55] you you lose your license for life

[13:57] that's one reason why it's a terrible

[13:58] job I didn't know that until you said

[14:00] that yeah no that's true that's true but

[14:02] he can drive on private property same

[14:04] thing when we went down to see President

[14:05] Bush he's got like I don't know 400 acre

[14:08] ranch so he can drive he can drive

[14:10] around there but he can't go out in the

[14:11] public Street yeah but no it's fun it

[14:14] was it was fascinating to see the inner

[14:17] workings of I mean when a president

[14:19] moves first of all three helicopters

[14:21] come wow one of them has the president

[14:24] okay you don't know which one nobody

[14:26] does except Secret Service and so okay

[14:28] uh I'll walk towards the I'll just wait

[14:31] till I see him you know and whichever

[14:32] one he gets out of you know so just all

[14:34] those kind of things like that and the

[14:36] other thing is you know as you're

[14:38] talking you go this is really fast

[14:41] is that a sniper on the building you

[14:44] know it's a little different right oh

[14:46] there's a guy up there oh all right you

[14:48] know I'm not going to make any sudden

[14:49] moves yeah

[14:51] So speaking of Jay and President Biden

[14:53] let's take a look at this clip this is

[14:54] coming up later on in the season on Jay

[14:56] Leto's garage it's Jay and President

[14:58] Biden in the electric truck let's check

[14:59] it out right now electric car is a big

[15:02] part of your climate for lunch the

[15:03] gigantic part yeah also part of the what

[15:06] people don't realize is part of the

[15:08] infrastructure building you know

[15:09] building highways and the like because

[15:11] we're talking about putting 500 000

[15:13] charging stations and the money for

[15:15] those charging stations in that bill in

[15:17] addition to the charging stations

[15:18] individual companies are putting in so

[15:21] it's you know it's a game changer you

[15:22] got 40 percent of all pollution all the

[15:25] CO2 going up is from a tailpipe right

[15:28] and imagine if we just changed that

[15:33] that was Jay Leno and President Biden

[15:35] coming up later on this season again

[15:36] Elon Musk Tony Hawk tignataro tonight 10

[15:40] p.m Eastern on CNBC so Jay we got the

[15:42] people involved they love you on social

[15:45] media Love You on YouTube well thanks we

[15:46] got some questions here you ready to

[15:48] answer some of these all right okay so

[15:50] this one is from Instagram it's from go

[15:52] ahead Payne and he wants to know do you

[15:54] believe the future will only be electric

[15:56] or will there be a coexistence with fuel

[15:59] engines as well well I I think you'll be

[16:01] coexistent uh hydrogen is the

[16:05] sort of

[16:07] what's the the secret weapon here too

[16:09] you know hydrogen has had a problem

[16:10] because the word hydrogen people

[16:14] immediately conjure up the Hindenburg

[16:16] which did not blow up because of

[16:17] hydrogen but that's a separate thing uh

[16:20] but it just it seems to frighten people

[16:22] but hydrogen I drove a number of

[16:25] hydrogen cars it was very impressive

[16:26] they are also electric they just they

[16:29] turn the car basically into a battery a

[16:32] hydrogen is an interesting one synthetic

[16:34] fuels a portion Now is working on

[16:36] non-polluting synthetic fuels whether

[16:39] they're able to make it for

[16:42] a dollar to two dollars per gallon and

[16:45] what's it made from so anything could

[16:48] happen but you know when once you flood

[16:49] the market you know when beta came out

[16:52] and VHS came out beta was better right

[16:55] so but VHS was cheaper so VHS flooded

[16:59] the market with vhs's and VHS tapes and

[17:03] by that point everybody had a VHS okay

[17:05] that's what it is and that's where we

[17:07] are with electric if anything else is

[17:08] going to come along

[17:10] it's going to be tough to beat Electric

[17:12] you know I can remember as much as 20

[17:14] years ago people thought it would take

[17:16] 75 years to go to Electric but it hasn't

[17:19] I mean it took 75 years for every

[17:21] American to get a telephone it took five

[17:24] years for every American to have a

[17:25] computer and now this electric thing

[17:27] could happen within 10 years probably so

[17:30] well I think it's pretty interesting

[17:31] being here because with the collection

[17:33] you have you can see the history of cars

[17:35] I mean we're talking less than 100 years

[17:36] in terms of the Transformations well I

[17:38] have a 1909 electric car a 1914 electric

[17:41] car and I have steam cars steam steam

[17:44] ran everything from 1820 to about 1911.

[17:48] then internal combustion 1911 to just

[17:50] about now and starting in 2030 electric

[17:53] will become the next one so yeah it's

[17:57] just you know Mark Twain used to say I

[17:59] like progress It's change I don't like

[18:00] and that's where where people are they

[18:03] they're all suspicious I don't know this

[18:05] is a good idea well this is America you

[18:07] move forward you come up with new ideas

[18:08] if something is

[18:10] cheaper better more efficient it's going

[18:13] to win you know for new technologies

[18:16] exceed it can't be equal it's got to be

[18:17] superior and right now electricity the

[18:21] biggest drawback is range but now you're

[18:24] getting cars 300 400 Mercedes now 600

[18:28] mile range it's a game changer yeah more

[18:29] charging stations too on the right and

[18:31] more charging stations on the road

[18:32] correct so the great thing about your

[18:34] show is that you have the cars we have

[18:35] the stars as well so Tim Allen is coming

[18:37] up not tonight but next week right yeah

[18:39] and we have a question here how long

[18:41] have you and timeline been friends oh we

[18:44] go back to oh God the comedy club in the

[18:47] 70s you know uh I I imagine you met him

[18:50] out here or you met no I met him in

[18:51] Detroit at uh what was that uh the

[18:56] comedy club in uh in Detroit I think it

[18:59] just went out of my mind but yeah that's

[19:00] when we first met I was working he came

[19:02] in and did a guest set and we became

[19:04] friends yeah now there's a lot of folks

[19:06] that do the Jay Leno impersonation but

[19:07] is is Tim Allen at the top of your list

[19:09] in terms of the J impersonation because

[19:11] we'll see that on the show too uh it's a

[19:13] horrible I mean people go oh is it who

[19:17] was that I don't know who it was he has

[19:19] to tell him that it's me and then they

[19:21] go oh no that would be too cruel and

[19:22] then no it doesn't resemble me in any

[19:25] way is there anybody that that does uh

[19:27] me you there you go yeah I I'm classic

[19:30] they're pretty good I do it and people

[19:31] hey that sounds like change that sounds

[19:33] like you all right here's another

[19:34] question yes what is going to excite the

[19:36] next generation of car people

[19:39] the Next Generation Well that that's it

[19:41] that's the exciting point you know the

[19:42] future is very hard to predict uh when I

[19:44] was a kid they predicted flying cars and

[19:46] you wouldn't sit down to dinner you'd

[19:48] have a pill which would have everything

[19:50] you know and none of those things nobody

[19:51] ever predicted you walk around with all

[19:54] the information of the world in your

[19:55] hand you know when I was in the fourth

[19:58] grade A guy from Bell Telephone came to

[20:00] our grade school and said by the time we

[20:01] were grown-ups no American would be less

[20:04] than one mile from a telephone no matter

[20:06] where you were in the United States

[20:08] you only had to go a mile to find a

[20:10] phone even though it's death of the

[20:11] place there'd be a phone with the

[20:13] mileage that seemed like wow that's

[20:14] unbelievable imagine just walking a mile

[20:16] you know so uh it's almost impossible to

[20:20] predict you know I remember remember

[20:22] Hewlett Packard told Bill Gates

[20:24] Americans do not want computers in their

[20:27] homes believe me son nobody wants to

[20:30] have a computer that's for the scientist

[20:32] you know so it's very hard you never you

[20:35] never know what brings about the social

[20:36] change sometimes it's culture sometimes

[20:39] it's music you don't know what's so it's

[20:41] hard to predict the other thing that

[20:43] folks like to ask about is how you

[20:45] started collecting cars and I know that

[20:47] there's a jaguar in here that you go

[20:49] back all the way to your childhood that

[20:50] when you were nine years old you saw the

[20:52] Jaguar so yeah what got you into it and

[20:54] how have you expanded this place well I

[20:55] grew up in New England and when I was a

[20:57] kid boys are just expected to fix the

[21:00] lawnmower or the snowmobile or whatever

[21:03] it might be and it was just a hobby you

[21:06] know we had a big feel behind our house

[21:07] and you'd find an abandoned car and we

[21:10] were just driving around in circles my

[21:12] mother would watch from the kitchen

[21:13] window you know nowadays because they

[21:16] call Child Services and the parents

[21:17] would be taken away yeah but but back

[21:20] then you just go out 12 year olds having

[21:22] a car did not seem like a bad thing

[21:24] because he knew where you were and I met

[21:27] my mother watching us when and the car

[21:29] just rolled over you know with a bunch

[21:31] of us in it my mother comes running out

[21:33] you know yeah so yeah it was a different

[21:35] time a much different time different

[21:37] time

[21:37] so you have a lot of great cars here

[21:39] before we wrap up you have a Buick

[21:41] that's really special to you well that's

[21:42] my 50s I bought that when I came to

[21:44] California I bought it out of the

[21:46] Pennysaver

[21:47] you know I got out I got off the plane I

[21:49] said I gotta find a car I got the Penny

[21:52] Saver and I looked at a dresser and said

[21:53] Winchester said here's a Buick it's in

[21:56] how far is Winchester okay so that's

[21:57] about three miles from the airport oh so

[21:59] I got a cab I went to the uh I went to

[22:02] the place

[22:03] and then I realized well if I don't buy

[22:04] this car I have no way to get so I just

[22:07] bought it wow well thought out plan as

[22:10] you can see and I've had it ever since

[22:12] that's awesome and then you have a car

[22:14] that Johnny Carson was very yeah that

[22:16] was Johnny Carson's dad's car that's a

[22:17] 1939 Chrysler Johnny Carson's dad bought

[22:20] that new Johnny went to his prominent

[22:22] and if you watch a special called Johnny

[22:24] goes home or Johnny comes home back in

[22:27] 82 you'll see you know old old uh eight

[22:31] Miller footage of Johnny polishing it

[22:34] when he was 12 and then going to his

[22:36] prom when he was 18. and when Johnny

[22:38] died he left that in his will to me so

[22:40] that's amazing yeah that was yeah that

[22:42] was great I I cherished that car I

[22:44] learned you also have his Tonight Show

[22:45] desk here as well

[22:46] yeah well there were a bunch of those a

[22:49] bunch of those Tonight Show deaths so

[22:50] that was pretty special oh yeah yeah but

[22:52] not as special the car was the car yeah

[22:54] I mean the fact that he left that to you

[22:55] that must have been a surprise as well

[22:57] it was a huge surprise I mean the desk

[22:58] is a prop it's not even a real desk you

[23:01] know you could use it as a desk the car

[23:03] is different yeah the car is different

[23:05] you know because Johnny had a real

[23:06] connection with the car I gotcha all

[23:08] right a couple rapid fire personal

[23:09] questions

[23:10] we are out of here no yes yes no go

[23:14] ahead what is your favorite movie of all

[23:15] time

[23:17] oh

[23:18] well I I like The Godfather but I also

[23:21] like Miracle on 34th Street you know as

[23:23] a kid I liked it because

[23:25] you didn't really have to believe in

[23:27] Senate it wasn't you know I mean it had

[23:30] enough realistic stuff and I remember

[23:32] watches thinking how is this going to

[23:33] end and of course it ends with the post

[23:36] office declaring him Santa Claus because

[23:39] the mail got delivered to him and I

[23:41] thought I just thought that was so

[23:42] clever because it was a logical so many

[23:46] fantasy movies have a fantasy ending

[23:48] yeah that was realistic and that had a

[23:50] realistic well and of course the judge

[23:52] who's running for the election well if

[23:54] the United States government says you

[23:55] said he's Santa Claus they call him he's

[23:58] Santa Claus well by God he's Santa Claus

[24:00] you know and I I just oh I just I

[24:02] thought it was the most clever ending of

[24:03] any film yeah I love that movie what's

[24:04] your go-to meal what's your favorite

[24:06] food oh favorite well you have to

[24:08] understand food

[24:10] that's okay right now it's better than

[24:13] delicious food in an hour yeah I just

[24:15] want to eat right can I just get

[24:16] something I mean most of my meals are

[24:18] from people in paper hats I I can't say

[24:20] that you know having a gourmet oh you're

[24:22] not that guy no having you know it's

[24:24] it's something or other of something no

[24:26] but that being said probably something

[24:28] Italian yeah yeah okay what is the last

[24:31] book you read oh last book ever

[24:34] um ah you know Precision by Simon

[24:37] Winchester it's a book about the

[24:40] invention of precision and it starts

[24:42] with steam engines right up to what you

[24:44] have now you have something called Morse

[24:46] law which is that started the computer

[24:48] industry that every year he had the

[24:51] double capacity and half the size so

[24:54] consequently you get things like an

[24:56] Apple Watch and you have you have you

[24:59] know a little I can how many

[25:02] like radios like an iPhone doesn't have

[25:05] transistors right but it has the

[25:07] equivalent of something like a billion

[25:09] transistors some crazy thing like that

[25:11] you almost hard to believe but that's

[25:14] that that's Moore's Law taken to the

[25:16] extreme every year it gets smaller more

[25:18] compact you know if you ever watch old

[25:20] TV shows like manix to solve a crime he

[25:23] goes in the computer room which is big

[25:24] as this room with giant reel to reels

[25:26] and now you realize your iPhone has 10

[25:29] times that capacity it's in your pocket

[25:30] yeah I mean you carry more Computing

[25:33] than the Apollo 13.

[25:36] yeah so yeah so that's but that's a good

[25:39] book Simon Winchester if you like

[25:40] precision and how things are made and

[25:43] Manufacturing yeah it's great lastly

[25:45] what is the best part about doing Jay

[25:47] Leno's garage

[25:48] well the best part about it is I can

[25:51] deduct all this stuff because well this

[25:53] is my work so you can sort of write it

[25:56] off I mean I remember someone once

[25:58] saying that if you enjoy your work it's

[26:00] not really work

[26:01] and that's what I do you know you know I

[26:04] remember for like six months I went to

[26:06] Bentley School of accounting and finance

[26:07] I don't know why I'm dyslexic I don't

[26:09] know why I went there because it was

[26:11] near my house I guess and I just flunked
