And the funny part is that I wasn't even the main attraction on this show. These other guys were way more seasoned. But I was just there to MC the show. But I guess the name was very popular, Iglesias. So they made my name bigger than everybody else's. Which, you know, maybe they saw something I did at the time. But yeah, I got the original poster. And I think it's cool that it has the date on it and stuff. So you can see, Gabriel's been in the game for 24 years now. Well, and that's the thing. It's like something like this. It has patina. It's like something. Yeah. And by the way, you can tell right there. Look at. $5. Ticket. Ticket's really $5. $5. Yeah. If it was $5 to see you now. I wouldn't answer a text for $5. This one right here is the Fluffy movie. I got a chance to do my comedy special that was actually in theaters. Eventually Netflix did pick it up for a little while. And then they said we want to be in the Fluffy business. So my last three specials. Yeah, three specials are with Netflix. There's so much awesome memorabilia on this wall. I don't know. Maybe you can highlight some of your favorites here. Here's a cool one. When people ask me who was very influential in my comedy. I say, oh, there's a couple of names. It's Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams. Robin Williams was the reason why I started wearing Hawaiian shirts. And why I just try to be more animated. I just wanted to mimic him. And there was one opportunity that I had to work with him. I was doing a show at the Comedy Magic Club in Hermosa Beach. And the manager of the club, Richard, tells me. Hey, listen, we're going to have a special guest tonight. But I can't tell you who it is. I go, what do you mean? He goes, yeah, they've asked me not to say who's coming. Because they don't want to stir things up. But I'm like, dude, it's my show. They're going to be on my show. I go, I have the right to know. He goes, trust me. Just know now that if you ever have a secret. You tell me not to tell someone something. Now you know I won't do it. I'm like, what kind of shit is that? So I'm on stage. And they hand me a note. And they tell me that I'm about to bring up Robin Williams. One of my childhood comedy heroes. And this is the night I got to meet him. Incredible. So he opened for you. No. Here's the thing. He made it clear that he wanted to go on after the headliner. Because he was working on a special. So he didn't want to go on before. And then destroy that. Because clearly if he would have gone on before me. He would have gotten off stage. And then I would have walked out to booze. Like bring back Robin Williams. Even though people were there to see me. They would have been like, come on, man. That's crazy. The legend. That's a great story. And this is kind of cool right here too. So I have my own reserved parking space. Basically LA Live. Which is Staples Center. Microsoft. Right there. Across the street from the Staples Center. I was on stage at Microsoft. And I was venting about a situation I had at home. I got into an argument with my girlfriend. Because she took my parking spot. She let her friends park in my parking spot. It's a two car garage. And then I had just bought her another. She had like three cars. It's a four car garage. Three of the cars were hers. One spot was for me in my car. And I get back home from the road. And her friends are parking in my spot. And I'm complaining. I'm like, why can't you just leave me my spot? My one spot. She goes, what's the big deal? Just park behind. I go, no, that's not the point. I go, can I just have my one parking spot? So I started venting on stage about that. And the venue said, well, you know what? We were trying to figure out what to give you. And we noticed that you don't have anywhere to park at home. But we want you to know. That as long as you continue to perform here with us. You will always have a parking space. That no one will take. He's a fluffy guy. Very specific. I like that. And it's still there. Which is cool. Even right now. That's awesome. And the beauty of it is. If somebody does park in that spot. Because it has happened. I can legally have them towed. And we've done it. And it's awesome to watch. And it's always been a Prius. That's why I don't like you guys. Prius people. Think you can do whatever you want. We save the environment. We can take fluffy's parking. Oh. This is a cool mirror. This was April 17, 2015. Madison Square Garden. When people. The reason I remember that date. Even though it's not on here. The reason why I remember that date. Is because. They would always ask. People would ask me. Hey. When did you know you made it? And I'd always try to say. Not answer that. Because I always felt like. If you said you made it. You'd stop growing as an entertainer. And I says. So I'm telling that story on stage. Madison Square Garden. I says. But moving forward. It's going to be a little bit hard. Not to answer that question. I says. So the next time. Someone tells me. Or ask. Hey. When did you know you made it? Now I'm going to have a date. And it was that show. That show is when I. Acknowledged that. My career had arrived. Yeah. I mean. Yeah. Madison Square Garden. Come on. It was really hard to be humble. I tried to be humble. But God damn it. That was. That was hard. It's like. Yeah. My face is on the outside. And there's semi trucks. With my face on it too. So it's kind of like. Yeah. No dude. Just own it. Just freaking own it. I love this poster so much. It's so cool. I love the. Your dog too. It's R2D2. Every. Every now and then. We'll perform at venues. That have local artists. And. It was a local artist. In San Diego. That did that. He did a couple. Art pieces. And there were. You know. Gifts to the artists. Which is nice. Because I would have paid. To have that done. And they. That was a nice little surprise. I'm sure the artist who did that. Doesn't realize it's on my wall now. But. Yeah. It's very cool. And the. Plus the buses in the back. They're just flying. Kind of like starships. They personalized it. Yeah. Very very personal. They did some research on the fact. That's so cool. There's just. So many. I mean. I'm sure anytime. Oh. There's Jay. There's the guy. Who. Who messed you up. Yeah. He's. Yeah. The reason for the season right there. That newspaper article right there. That's from. Aman Jordan. I got to perform in. In Jordan. So a few years back. And. After the show was over. I got to go to the king's palace. I was invited to the king's palace. So I got to hang out with him. And the queen. And. He made dinner. It was pretty crazy. He personally made dinner. And we hung out. It was just an incredible night. Of fun. With royalty. Yeah. I heard some really good stories. Some of which I'm not allowed to tell anymore. That belt is awesome too. Oh. So that belt right there. Was a gift from my. Manager. My concert promoter. They know I'm a huge wrestling fan. Clearly. And. It was the end of the tour. And they wanted to give me a tour gift. And so the belt has nothing but. You know. It shows on the belt. How many shows we had. How many were sold out. The amount of money grossed. You know. All the comedy stats. You know. Which I think was really cool. And they put my logos in. It's a legit wrestling belt. It's not like a replica. Like they got the actual guy. Dave McMillan. Who makes the belts for. You know. Like WWE. Or AEW. He's the guy. The belt guy. And he made that. That sucker weighs. Probably 30 pounds. Have you worn it? The very first day. I tried to wear it. It does not clear. I'm one of those guys that. You know. He just would wear it. Over his shoulder. He's a big guy. So he would just wear it up here. That's a flex in itself though. Just put it on your shoulder. Just walk around. Yeah. I did. I had some wrestlers. Take pictures with it. Which I thought was cool. They were like. Hey. Where did you get that? I went to go. Hang out with Snoop. And yeah. That's what happens. When you hang out with Snoop. So we documented it. Because I don't remember. Anything after that moment. Don't enjoy that. I'm going to do some talking. While you enjoy that smoke. Because your voice is going to change. He's going to go up another octave. Watch his voice go up. Go ahead. Say something. I didn't hear you. Well. Thank you for showing us. Some memorabilia. There's just so many moments. But with pictures. It's just a quick snapshot. You know. But the cool thing is. As soon as you look at it. It reminds you of that time. You know. I mean. Because time flies. I'm sure. When you guys are working so hard. And having fun. And it's kind of like. You know. When you have a year like 2020. Where everything stops. It kind of puts things into perspective. Like. Wow. I guess we're just going to stay home all year. So. Walking in here. It's like. Wow. Look at. And then we did this. So. It's nice to be able to go back. And relive these moments. By looking at the pictures. And seeing all the different cool things. That you know. Got to experience. Yeah. Well. We'll just call it a reset. And then we'll start. Yeah. Good reset. Gabe tasked you. With actually telling us a lot about. The buses. But honestly. Gabe knows a lot himself. He does. Maybe he's just a little. He doesn't need me. But he knows a lot. Yeah. He's well versed. Part of it is that. It is his passion. And it's his love. He loves cruising in these things. He actually drives them on the street. Right. These obviously. Are not actual buses. They're aquariums. But they're pretty cool. This is an aquarium. Yeah. He really likes to. He's really involved in the Volkswagens. So. Cut a bus in half. Yeah. Let's talk about this one. This one. So Gabe. Said that this is his favorite to drive. Yeah. It's his favorite. Because it's most comfortable for him. Because. You know. It's more roomier. He can actually put the window down. You know. And this reminds him more of his. Upbringing. You know. Early stage of his career. Did you restore this one? No. I just did. I redid the interior. Redid the seats. Made them a little bit smaller. As far as the cushion. So he can be more comfortable. Because you know. Some of the things are not as roomy as regular cars. So what year is this one? This is 68. OK. And then this is pretty much like a later one. It's a later model. The second generation. 367 is the first generation. Second generation. Obviously these ones are more of his. His collection. You know. Yeah. I mean. Because some of these. Especially the. What is. How many windows is it? 21? This is a 23. So this is a 56. Then you know. That one's a 59. But they're all. Yeah. They're all 23 windows. The first four here are 23 windows. And those are worth the most. Yeah. They're worth some money. Yeah. Not what they were worth 20 years ago. There's a demand for it. You know. Less inventory. And it became a frenzy. Can you tell us. Like. One that you restored. That you can kind of tell us some details about. We restored this one. And basically most of the restorations. Are meant for him to drive. You know. They're not trailer queens. Yeah. There is a lot of detail that goes into them. The paint. And then. The upholstery. You know. But he likes to drive them. Yeah. So like this one. When you say you restored this. Did you take this down to bare metal? Yeah. This is down to bare metal. Every nut and bolt came off of this car. Obviously he wanted chrome. Because initially this car was. We were going to go all original. But he wanted chrome. So we added the chrome safari windows. The chrome bumpers. Chrome mirrors. You know. So we added a lot of chrome. The roof racks. You know. The aftermarket. You know. So he has his own taste. But. I mean. But he's very specific about these things. Oh. He is. Yeah. Because it's not like. Hey. You take it. And you. No. He knows what he wants. He provides a canvas. We take care of his vision. So with a lot of these parts. Like the trim and stuff. Are there still a lot of new old stock things. That you can find. Or is it mostly reproduction now? There is. I mean. There's still a lot of what they call. New old stock available. But we're not going to put new old stock. On the bumper that we're going to chrome. Because it's no longer an original. If we have new old stock. We want to save it. For like. All original looking bus. Are you able to get. Source parts from Germany. If you need to. Yeah. We have. If there's. If we're doing specific. All original restoration. Yeah. We can find a new old stock. Or. Good original parts. This is an original looking. Bus. But obviously. The bumper's supposed to be. Painted a different color. If we were going for the. Complete original look. What about the engine on this? This one has a. Two liter motor on it. See the car. The car presents itself. As if it was stock. But with the chrome bumpers. He added the chrome elements. To it. But then you know. Wow. That's definitely not original. No it's not original at all. No. But like I said. He likes to drive his car. Yeah. So he likes to. Keep up with traffic. He likes to just get. Get in the car and go. So you got to make him reliable. And able to keep up with traffic. And that's what I. I meant by. By saying that. This. These cars are restored. For him to. To be driven. So. Tell us about this motor. Well. It's. This is a. Two liter motor. It has 44 webers on it. It's an oil cooler. It's about 180 horsepower. Wow. This one's one of the faster ones. Yeah. Give and take. I mean you know. It's not. It's just meant to. Keep up with traffic. Yeah. I mean. Considering that these came with. How much horsepower originally. 40. Yeah. This one. I think it's a 40. It came with a 40 horse. It's so much more power. It's a lot more power. You know. They're pretty heavy. Yeah. So even though you say. It's 180 horsepower. What do we have realistically. At the rear. You know. I mean. But. It's. It's decent enough power. To get this thing moving in traffic. Yeah. These are pretty cool too. I love these. Yeah. And again. We. We build them to his liking. To what. His vision is of the vehicle. Sort of give it. Give it like. The color. Restomar. You know. Try to keep the original look to it. But with the modifications. And the chrome. Non-original colors. You know. But he likes them to flow. To blend in. You know. And like I said. He. He provides the canvas. And then we articulate. What his vision is. Are any of these imported. From. Out of country? Then? Obviously. They all came from Germany. Yeah. But like. But he. Did he source them out. From out of the country? No. All of these. Were based here in the United States. Oh. OK. Got it. I just have so many questions. About these things. Because. I didn't grow up around these. Where. Where did you learn? I grew up around there. Because they were. They were affordable. So. It was one of my first cars. In high school. And everybody. Where I grew up. Had them. Because they were affordable. You know. At 16. I bought my first Volkswagen. And I've owned one. Ever since then. So they were. Affordable. They were practical. And they were easy to work on. I mean. I could. I was able to take the transmission. Engine. Out in the garage. Replace it within one day. Something went wrong. So. The practicality. And how cheap they were. Is what attracted me. And on top of that. You can fit a lot of things. And people in them. Yes you can. I mean like. But remember. Before though. Nobody thought they were so valuable. Yeah. So we're talking about. You know. In the 80s. When I was in high school. Nobody wanted a van. Because. Nobody wanted a minivan. Everybody back then. Wanted the Beetle. So. You know. You can pick one of these up. Back then for $2,500. Now they're. You know. Now the average price. $30 or $50. Just for a base car. It probably needs to be restored. Again. Going back to what attracted me to them. Just the practicality. How cheap they were. I mean. That's the point. Is because they were so cheap. It was like a dime a dozen. They would get wrecked. You know. And that's why. There's not that many left. That's right. So the demand is greater than the inventory. And that's why the prices are skyrocketing. Yeah. Because you can go out to pick a part. Back in the days. And. They're all over the junkyard. Yeah. So now. If you see one in the junkyard. It's rare. And somebody's going to buy it. Out of the junkyard. Oh. This one is. This one's ready to jam. This one has Wilwood brakes. Yeah. Again. You know. Like I said. Gabe's really involved in the cars. And. Again. All the cars are meant to be driven. So. There's a. The front suspension has been built. For drivability. And. Safety. So. You know. You want to make sure he stops. This thing has a pretty big motor. Again. For. For distance. So he can just get up and go. But. It has to stop. Can you. Can we see the motor in this one? Yeah. I can open it up. Did you guys build this one too? This motor is built by. Old Speed in Paramount. Russell's the owner. He does all the drive trains. For. For Gabriel. He builds them for drivability. And. Obviously safety. I noticed this one has a. Jean Berg style shift. Is this a five speed? No. Jean Berg. I mean. Jean Berg. You know. They make anything. That's high performance. They make a five speed shift there. But this is just a regular four speed. So this is one of his favorite cars here. Right. Again. You know. He has input in everything. He likes seal. We. We actually mock up door panels. To see what color he likes. What flows with the car. So. Everything is so premium. Like. All the. Materials are so premium. So. Did. None of these have seat belts. Huh? Some of them do. We should have them. Every single car. But some of them don't. Have them. What's right. It was an option. It was never. Back then it was. Nobody cared. Yeah. I mean. You know. I remember my. Driving with my dad. I was in the front seat. Standing up. Yeah. That was just the way it was. But no. You know. Some of them do have. Seat belts. And then seat belts. Are available. Which one's your favorite. Out of this group. My favorite. I mean. They're all favorites. Because. It's fun building them. Especially with him. You know. Because he has so much input. He makes it fun. You know. It's not a stressful environment. You know. Because the end result. Is pretty cool. When you actually. You know. Sit down. And shoot ideas to each other. You know. This. Because things are. Down to the bare metal. Every night. We're both hanging out. So we end up. Seeing something that. Physically. You were involved in. Now. It's a rolling piece. Of machinery. It's pretty exciting. But yeah. They're all my favorite. I can't. You know. They're all. They're all pretty cool. Is there anybody else. That you know. That has a bus collection. Like this. Not as many as. The number of buses. That he has. He has about. Close to 40. You're serious. How many are here? Probably 20. So where's all the other. Buses at your place? Some are in my shop. Being restored. Really? Yeah. We got a lot of. Ongoing projects. Look. The way this started. I mean. He started this collection. He started buying them. But then quickly realized. The way he was buying. It wasn't what he wanted. So he wanted his own style. His own branding. So we started restoring. Everything that he had before. And then the other half. Is things that he had bought. Just to restore. And then he has a. He has a 1975. That was featured on his. On his show. And that was. A Subaru engine. Being installed on that one. Oh. That's going to be cool. Yeah. That's pretty cool. Yeah. But no. That. Most of his collection. Is not here. Every car. Is basically. A piece of him. You know. His idea. His vision. And then we just. Articulate it for him. Is there any one of these. That have been restored. To original? Over here. It's a. I think it's a 61. This one? Yeah. This one. Okay. This one is. And did you guys. Restore this one? We restored this one. Yeah. This one is early. This is 2016. I think. Several years ago. The idea was to. Restore all of them. 100% original. As close to original. As possible. But then. He went. He shifted to. The chrome. Restomod. That's perfect. Yeah. It's a Restomod. And so then. This. This top too? This is all original. Okay. Yeah. This is original. 23. What was the condition. That it was in. When you first got it. It was pretty bad. Before. Nobody cared about them. So they were trash. Nobody really. Took care of them. They were beat up. Or they were. Or they got abused. Or they were rusted. So. It's pretty difficult. Sometimes. To find something. That's in prime condition. Especially. The way these things were. Looked upon. Prior. You know. Nobody thought. They were going to be. A six figure car. Yeah. So this is definitely. Well over six figures. Yeah. This is way over six figures. How much do you think. That's worth. Just your estimate. Depends. What somebody's willing. To pay at auction. You know. It can be 120. It can be 200. It can be 300. Easily the way. This thing was restored. And. Probably worth 150. Which is crazy. Yeah. But. You can take it to auction. You don't know. Somebody might pay 300 for it. Yeah. Especially the problem. I mean. If you shoot down. A little bit underneath. You can see underneath. How clean this thing is. Oh. It is like brand new. All of it. Yeah. It's almost like. It hasn't ever been driven. Huh. We did a rotisserie restoration. And this is back in. Actually it was 2013. When this was. This was done. We did. We did the best we could. With the. With what was available. And again. People were not restoring. Cars to this level. Until recent. Until. There was. There was a big. Barry Jackson auction. Where this. One went for like. Almost 200,000. And from that point on. It created a frenzy. Amongst collectors. To have one. It was probably in this. 2016. And when that happened on 15. But. Nobody was restoring them. To this level. Where. It looked like that underneath. So now. You know. Everybody's restoring it to. To that particular level. Because of the money. So what. What year is this one? I think 61. And I love the plate too. Real 23. Yeah. That is incredible. Yeah. So like this. You guys went all out. In terms of finding. New old stock parts. Well. Whatever we could. Yeah. And remember. When this thing was started. Being restored. 2013. Late. Early 14. Yeah. We. We rounded up as many. As original parts as possible. Like what about the glass? Is all this glass original? The glass is original. Because you see some imperfection. You know. It's not like brand new. And like this stuff. People still make these seals? Or. Yeah. You can get all this reproduction. This seal and stuff. Obviously. You can get all that reproduction. You know. We got the original mirrors. Because we got the VW sign. So. You know. We. We built it. With as many original parts as possible. If there's something on the car. That we find. We just change it. It's original. That's the beauty of things. That if you find a new old stock. That comes up. And you don't have it. We can just put it on. But most of the cars. Are built. To have the original look. But with his color choice. With his vision. That's the thing is. You must be restoring a lot of. Other ones for him right now. Right? Yeah. We're doing quite a bit of. Restorations for him. He has a 1959. Carmen Ghia also. That we're doing. That's going to be really cool. Yeah. Because he. He bought it. The one he bought. It's a two year. Carmen Ghia built. What they call a low light. The front nose is a little. Slanted forward. It's a little rounded. Two year only. They built a convertible. It's called low light. We're building one of those. For him. Thank you so much. For walking me around. The collection a little bit. Definitely next time. I have to come to your shop. I want to see. A lot of these. In process. I'm sure you have a lot of. Rotisseries and stuff. Kind of in process. Gabe. He shouldn't. Sell himself short. In terms of knowing. About these cars. He knows. A lot about these cars. He knows a lot. And you know. Maybe next time. We'll kind of go cruising. And then we can kind of. Get more in depth about. Certain cars that he likes. Yeah. I mean. Yeah. Obviously. He'd be the best person. To tell you. Which one is his favorite. And which one he loves. To drive. But. Like I said. He drives all of them. Yeah. He just gets on them. And goes. There's no trailer queen here. Everything is driven. And that's why. That's why he has a collection. To enjoy it. He likes to enjoy his cars. You know. He just doesn't like. Them sitting around. Yeah. Awesome. Cool. Thank you. All right. That was an amazing tour. There's just so much to see. You know. The thing that. I really appreciate. Is. All of the. Moments. That you. Proudly display. Like. All of the. People that you meet. All of the. Sold out venues. Like. The fact that you. Have everything. So organized. In terms of. Like a good snapshot. Of your career. It's so cool to see it. All in one place. Everything is organized. That's it. Either I'm very creative. Or the OCD is the next level. All right. Straight lines people. Straight lines. That's the thing. It's like. For example. Your Volkswagen collection. Is. From oldest. To newest. Right? Yes. It's from the oldest. And actually. I have an older one. And that one right there. In the corner. I have a 1952. That's not here. Sorry. Well. Next episode. Oh yeah. So that's the thing. Is the next time. We definitely also want to. Check out Henry's. Restoration shop. Because he says. He has 45 cars. Or something there. Right now. Yes. It's not as pretty. As this. Henry's place is always. A work in progress. Because that's what he does. He's a restoration guy. So. It's always something. Coming in. Something going out. Yeah. But that's the point. Is like. The work in progress. The texture. The grittiness. We all absolutely love. Checking that stuff out too. He will not offer you bagels. Or coffee. Just thought I'd let you know. So show up with your. Your kit or whatever. You know. Maybe a little thermos. Well. Thank you again. Hopefully next time. We got to go cruising. We definitely got to go cruising. You know. The rain kind of. Put a little damper on things. That's right people. It's raining. You don't even know it. You're probably watching this right now. And it's hot as hell at your house. It was raining. Thank you. That's a wrap.
