    I pretty much watch all the Jay Leno content that comes out, I'm a huge fan, I even was a guest on his Game Show! And I have to say this was the best interview I've seen of Jay. I feel like Jay, like all celebrities is always being asked the same questions so naturally he has a set of stories that make for good responses, which is great, but as a fan, I have heard all of those stories multiple times, this was a great interview, because the questions were new and unique and overall very good, it allowed for Jay to give some really great new answers. Very entertained by this.

Not everything they say is necessarily correct, sane or appropriate, but there are bits of gold that we need to remember about how we used to live. Bringing up the beta v vhs (not vcr) war was accurate but lost on probably 50% of listeners. May he keep telling these stories for years to come! 🎉

    Jay Leno is an absolutely brilliant car historian with his mainstream-popularity comedy career overshadowing his, in my opinion, greater talent in his knowledge of cars. Love the amusingly recounted Stanley Steamer anecdotes about its silence upon start up (compared to the urban legend of being loud and unwieldy), as well as getting it up to 91 F---in miles per hour on the 405 Freeway! Between the hilariety of visualizing the situation of trying to explain this to the fuming cop, and being able to achieve that speed in a Veteran Car, just fantastic!

    I remember when I worked for Ford , Ford was trying to decide between three plants which plant they were going to close. They would load up in a club wagon and drive through the employees parking lot and count how many foreign cars and cars from other manufacturers were in the parking lot. They decided to close the plant that had the most other cars.

    He is truly the genuine person that you see in this interview.
    They say never meet your heroes.
    That idiom does not apply to meeting Mr. Leno.
    He is probably the most genuine person I have ever met.
    The fact that he’s a huge Hollywood celebrity makes it that much more rare.
    That is even true of the people that he works with.
    I count myself lucky to be able to say I made friends with one of the people he works with.
    He’s truly a great guy. It takes a guy like Mr. Leno to attract such great talent.
    Hollywood could learn a lot from Mr. Leno if they ever opened their eyes and ears.
    Not to mention the White House and all politicians can learn the philosophies, that Mr. Leno personally has.
    You could tell Mr. Leno never received a participation trophy when he was younger.
    He worked for what he has, and it shows, his work ethic is extraordinarily admirable…
    Thank you Mr. Leno for enriching the lives of so many. Your show in Atlantic City was fantastic just after Covid. You truly brought joy and relief to every person in that room including my wife and I.

    The problem with steam is it took awhile before the steam pressure built up so that you could actually move the thing under its own power. Gas won because it's safe, it's easy to transport, you can refuel your car quickly, and it has the highest energy density for it's weight and volume.

      I have to commend the long range forecast and thinking of companies in Australia and New Zealand that are placing electric drive systems in semis with removable batteries allowing quick " refueling" and therefore unlimited range. Given that Australia imports 96 % of their fossil fuel and having an abundance of solar exposure, it makes sense to move toward a resource such as solar a smart move. In Norway, Sweden, China etc. they are already installing facilities that remove the battery pack from cars and install a fresh recharged battery. These batteries are then recharged properly and as a side benefit allows greater utilization of charging facilities and greater utilization of transportation vehicles.

      I worked at a quick oil change place in early 90s and we also did emission testing. You can fail the test three times, prove you attempted to make improvement via spending 50$ towards oil change and air filter etc and would be given a pass on the 3rd test. Big densely populated cities should be concerned with air pollution, most other areas, it is a moot point. This is where blanket laws really, even with the best intentions, do more harm. Case in point, newer freon for air condition units car or appliances. The newer refrigerants eat the oring seals faster, making replacing seals, leaks and purging the system expel more refrigerant into the atmosphere, and… there is no definite link between refrigerant causing damage to ozone etc, that was an unproven and still unproven theory based on models, not actual science. Yes, in densely populated cities,, electric would reduce local pollution which is more of a public health concern than an environmental concern.

      remember that gasoline autos have been around for well over a century, but even counting hybrids, EVs have only been around for 20 or so, not counting prototypical models like the EV-1 and the E-10, and let's face it, most EVs styling is sub-par compared to mid-century (late-30s-to-early-70s) models

      @@YourScaryMother The latest Teslas are very distinctive and have a kind of French look with their lack of air intake or grill in front. Their looks aren't the problem. However, their confiscatory pricing, especially on the used market makes them around 10 times the price of a comparable ICE used vehicle. Democrat mandates notwithstanding, EVs will be nothing more than novelty vehicles for the foreseeable future for anyone not in the parasitic FIRE or government sectors of the economy. They don't even come close to competing with ICE vehicles on total cost of ownership. Democrat mandates will make EVs even more hated than they are now, and rightfully so. The Democrat public rolling violent criminally insane asylums which they call "public transportation" are a not a viable transportation alternative for any innocent, tax paying working Americans in the 21st century. These Americans need personal ICE vehicle transportation to and from work. EVs will not work.

    Man I can relate to eating dinner on Sunday at my Italian grandparents house you would think it was thanksgiving because there was enough food for a football team lol, the men were not allowed to do anything we sat on the couch watching tv and talking if one of us got up to get a drink or something the woman yelled at us and said to sit down and rest you worked hard this week we will get you what you want, then after dinner if we picked up our plates to help clean up we got yelled at to go relax. When I would leave my grandma would give me 5 or 10 bucks for gas haha. When I went to my grandma’s after work during the week she could have broken legs and she would say I’m fine I’m gonna make you something to eat and she makes all this stuff haha man I miss my grandparents!

    If I had Jay's pocketbook, I would consider buying an EV. However, reality, they are NOT practical for the average person. Then you look at mining specialty minerals, disposal of used batteries, cost of purchasing, reliability, cost of insurance, availability of updating your electrical power in your home, 200 amp service vs. 100 service, and increasing the electrical grid, I would consider buying one. From a practical money consideration, does it make sense?

Interjecting to prove that you are knowledgeable about something the guest is saying as opposed to sharing a similar experience in turn where it adds to the discussion. It feels to me like the the two of you are vying for time rather than working as a team. It's difficult to coordinate a two host interview, but it could be smoother. Explaining more about experiences you are discussing rather than using an insider's shorthand jargon that many listeners will not fully understand or appreciate. While these are suggestions for improvement, I did enjoy the whole show and thank you for encouraging Jay to share his car history. I was surprised how similar my early Massachusetts car history was to Jay's, including acquiring a Renault (that never ran) when i was 15.

Talk about the real merits and tradeoffs. Even the name of the show is a bit of a shittake, making it obvious you are interested in politics not celebrating the technology or it's effects.

    The actual story behind DC is not that you need a generating station frequently. Back in the day, this was true, because they didn't know how to increase the voltage. Modern transmission lines that are going hundreds of miles are sometimes on DC because they experience less losses than AC transmission.

    Great questions and great guest, but you guys don't understand electricity and how it can electrocute you. I know this is not the point but it is important from a safety standpoint to understand this, and a lot of people see this show. It is current that kills you (~ 10mA can stop your heart) while higher voltage burns you and can reach out (arc through air) to you if it's high enough. Higher voltage is more likely to cause Arc Flash (very hot explosion) if something is shorted. A former co-worker of mine was hit by 1200 VDC disconnecting an electric locomotive from about 1 foot from the hot connector, through the wrench in his hand and his body. He luckily lived due to quick medical response, but was out of work for a year due to burns from electricity arcing through his body. Hope that helps...

    36:08 Hay our family had Peugeot 404 both station wagons from the 1960s. My Dad had the first Peugeot 404 in southern Indiana. Peugeot invented the double overhead cam engine in the 1910s that went on to eventually be the Offenhauser engine used in Indy car racing. It's hard to believe now, but before the 1st World War France was the leader in powerful and reliable cars. After WW1 French cars were the weird cars they are known for today. One of the main reason for creating the Indianapolis motor speedway was for high speed and reliability testing to encourage USA cars to approach the speed and reliability that French cars had in 1907. Obscure in deed, Peugeot created one of the main race engines under the later development by Offenhauser of the 20th century!
