[Jason Momoa] My grandfather had a coat
and it was completely destroyed,
holes all in it and just frayed and beat to hell.
And I saw it and I was like, "Wow, that's beautiful!"
It was his tool.
It helped us build our home.
It put all these hours and time and love into this home.
And I feel like, when I look at something that's old,
I feel it in my bones.
It just gets my creative juices flowing.
And that's when I realize that I just see things differently.
You know, I started seeing my grandparents' floorboards and the way that they looked,
and I'm like, every scratch, ding, laugh, cry
is pretty much recorded in that. And, then, I started feeling like
I just see art in a different way.
That's why we wanted to make this show.
Rolling?
[man] Rolling.
[Jason grunts] All right, so...
At this point, we've brought things back to life,
we've changed things over, we gathered the knowledge.
Now, let's do something really, really special.
Let's find the holy grail.
["Wherever I May Roam" playing]
♪ And the road Becomes my bride ♪
♪ I have stripped of all But pride ♪
♪ So in her I do confide ♪
♪ Off the beaten path I reign ♪
♪ Rover, wanderer Nomad, vagabond ♪
♪ Call me what you will ♪
♪ Wherever I may roam ♪
♪ Wherever I may roam, yeah ♪
[exhales]
Man.
I wanted to do something after we've done everything on this show.
I wanted to do an homage to the holy grails.
[slow instrumental music]
For me, holy grail is the rarest of all these finds.
It's the piece that has traveled the furthest.
People don't part with these lightly.
It put it out there in the universe and,
next day, on Instagram, I saw the Blessing Burst.
I was blown away.
I was like, "Let's get it."
This looks, not only from the outside, but from the inside,
like a Les Paul from...
1960.
It is shown by the zero as the first digit.
The finish was cherry sunburst on these guitars.
They sit in a window where, exposed to light
for very long, the red fades out, you know?
And you get this beautiful, sort of, yellow burst finish.
[Jason] Blessing has been appraised a number of times
and its value just keeps going up,
especially as original guitars from this era become more and more rare.
So let's take a look, first, at the pickups.
Yeah, a little decal that says "Patent applied for".
That can make a difference of thousands of dollars in the...
in the value of the guitar.
And not only does it say "Patent applied for,"
in the cavity where the sun never shines,
you can see, still, the bright cherry red of the original finish.
All the solder joints look clean as a whistle.
So the story of this guitar is,
in the 1960s, an inspiring young rock and roller named Richard Head
found it in a...
in a music store in the Cleveland area,
bought it, and thought it might be a blessing to his career and his music,
and it turned out to be.
[Jason] And after everything I have learned about Les Paul guitars,
from Slash, to Billy Gibbons, to Murphy, Cesar,
I knew I had to see this guitar.
[producer] And how long did you have this guitar for, roughly?
56 years.
I bought it in 1967.
[soft instrumental music]
[Jason] So I flew to Orlando to meet Richard
and get to see this guitar in person.
Wow!
-Pleasure. Pleasure. Jason Momoa. -Absolutely.
-Chris... -Chris. Pleasure to meet you, Chris.
No, my pleasure.
Don Richards. Nice to meet you.
-[laughing] -Look at you. [laughs]
There you go. [laughs]
Look at that.
Yeah, yeah. Let's... Let's...
Let's put it up here.
-All right. -[Richard] Oh, man.
[Jason] Hold on. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
[laughs] Do you wanna do something here?
Gotta have this on my camera, at least, a little bit.
Hold on. Tell me... [laughs]
Tell me a little bit about it first.
Well, I, you know...
Former rock and roller in my teens and so forth.
Blessing and I were many, many hours on stage
playing every club you could imagine,
the Midwest and down to Florida and back.
It was always my main instrument that I was just in love with
and going to keep no matter what.
We opened for Golden Earring, Rush,
-Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, and... -Wow.
...all these groups, you know?
And, every time I would be playing it,
the guy, the guitar player, would ask me if I wanted to sell it.
-Yeah. -And I said no, of course.
And it went from $2,500
-to $5,000, you know? -Yeah.
To $7,500. And, believe me, back then, my friend,
-I could've used the money. -Right.
But no, I just went, "No. This is my friend."
-Yeah. -"I don't wanna... I wanna hold on to it."
So, at this stage in life, I came up with the idea that, well,
what I'd like to do is to sell Blessing
and donate the proceeds to homes for our troops.
It just seemed like the right thing to do.
[Jason] We purchased the guitar,
donated all of it to this cause.
And, then, we're gonna take this guitar...
It's the Blessing Burst, but we're gonna call it the Roamer's Burst too,
because, um, it's gonna go on the road.
And it's gonna stay on the road
and, hopefully, inspire many artists and it gets to go on tour.
And I don't want it to sit, you know, in some safe or whatever.
I actually want it to be, like, if Marcus King wants to take this thing on tour,
or someone that's up and coming,
like, someone that we just, literally, "Boom, go. Record an album."
-And let it just wander. Let it go and... -Oh, I'm...
I'm... I can't tell you how excited I am about that.
You having it and you telling me that,
you know, I don't normally cry, but...
[laughs] it almost brings tears to my eyes.
I mean, it was perfect how it all lined up.
-Yeah. -And so, I think it's just wonderful
that, like, our show is designed around this.
You're designed around this. And so, now, let it go,
let this thing go wander and bless people.
And... And I'm excited for people to...
I mean, I'm excited for it to play on albums
and go play in front of live audiences, and go just tour.
-Damien, how're you doing? You steady? -[Damien] I'm good, I'm good.
[laughs]
[Jason] All right, daddio.
-Do the honors. -[Richard] My last time.
[Jason] Oh, wow.
[exhales]
[Richard] And... and...
You are looking at a lot of Blessing, and a lot of me,
-because this is me, this is me. -Wow.
You know? The wear and tear on it is me.
All right, here we go.
[chuckles] Man...
-Oh, it's light! -[Richard] Mmm-hmm.
Ah, bro. It's, like...
[Jason] I haven't been able to see too many real ones.
I got the pleasure of seeing Slash's and...
[playing guitar]
...it's just art. That's the thing you were just telling me
where it's you.
You know, everything on here is you.
-It is. -And that's such a special...
And when you...
Why I love these things so much is it takes on...
Everyone's got their own energy, you know,
and it takes these pieces of wood to soak that up,
and when you get to see something that
some musician that you really love playing
and, you know, just feel that energy.
[exhales]
Unbelievable. Well...
I'm excited for my best friend to see this
and, then, watch him just whale away on it
and we'll get up there on stage, and...
and I'd love it if you got up there, too, and said something.
Oh? I'm... I'm at your service.
Yeah, it's gonna be... it's gonna be an amazing night. [laughs]
-Thank you so much. This is just a... -Thank you!
...massive honor.
It's meant to be passed on and meant to share the love and aloha, so...
-So, think it's pretty cool. -[Richard] Yeah.
And, also, I love a good story,
and I don't know anyone else who would take it,
put it on the road. And I'm like...
-[Richard laughing] -...my ass will.
[Jason] The next stop was tracking down a bike as rare as the Blessing Burst.
-All right. -[indistinct conversation]
[Jason] So I found a collector in Louisiana
who specializes in the most unique vintage motorcycles.
This is awesome!
[soft instrumental music]
[Jason] Bryan has all these pristine, one-of-a-kind bikes.
It was honestly overwhelming.
[Bryan] That's one of the only two
...in the world.
It has a Rudge Python engine.
They only made 'em for two years.
But it takes somebody as weird as me to want one like that.
-[Jason] I'm just so happy I found you. -[all laughing]
I'm so happy I found you. So weird and esoteric.
[Bryan] I like weird... I like weird shit.
Look at that.
Things were just built differently in the past, and I love that.
I feel like I'm in a past life.
I feel like I'm riding on a time capsule.
The way they sound, the way it feels.
[Bryan] This bike was commissioned by a man,
he hunted big game.
He knew that wildebeest and giraffes
and the like wouldn't run on the sound of... [honks]
They wouldn't run.
So if you're trying to get 100 giraffes to run...
[horn blaring]
[laughing]
[Bryan] That's how you get 10,000 zebra to run.
[Jason] Look at that one!
Oh, my gosh, this one is amazing.
Suddenly, I see this one and I just knew.
It was the one.
An original paint Brough Superior.
[soft instrumental music]
The thing about these bikes is that, once you paint over them, that's it.
There's no going back to the original.
Finding one like this, beat up but the real deal,
it's almost unheard of.
It is so rare.
Oh, man!
Shit!
I don't know everything this bike has seen,
but I know it has been on this earth for almost 100 years.
And when you touch something with that much history,
you can feel it.
That is my first time seeing a Brough.
How do you say it? You say it Brough?
-[Bryan] Brough. -[Jason] Brough Superior.
-Wow. -[Bryan] They're all bespoke.
None of them were punched out.
-You decided what you wanted, he built the bike to fit you. -[Jason] Wow.
So I wanna be the first Hawaiian to ride a Brough.
-[woman laughing] -I wanna be the first Hawaiian to ride a Brough
on the first Cannonball and win it.
-[Bryan] Nobody rides a Brough... -[indistinct chatter]
[machinery whirring]
[soft instrumental music]
[Jason] I fell in love with that Brough.
So I brought it back to LA
to see if my friend Nick could get it running again.
You've brought back to life impossibles.
-The DAH, the 1930, right? -Yup.
[Jason] And, then, we had you bring back the...
And that was a 1927 that's been sitting for, like, 70 years.
But it's the 1929 Brough Superior 680 Overhead Valve.
And it's just been... it's just been sitting to stare at,
and I just can't stand it. I wanna set it free,
try to bring it back to life.
Broughs are English bikes from the '20s and '30s,
and they were extremely fast and extremely luxurious.
Only about 1,000 still exist.
-And you've never worked on an English bike? -No.
-Nothing? -No.
Never worked on an English bike, it's weird.
But, you know, anything that has a motor I can get it running.
I'm very confident this'll run.
It's pretty rare 'cause it's an original paint,
and most people don't wanna touch it.
If you guys just look at the seat, like, everything. It's just...
it's a museum piece.
-But, needs to be ridden. -Yeah.
-You feel confident? -Wanna make a bet?
[Jason laughing] I'll make a bet, I'll make a bet.
You gotta... you gotta bet on how many kicks.
Oh, okay. Uh...
Under three.
[Jason] Under three?
Under three kicks, I'll give you five grand
-and donate it. Do you have an idea-- -Not including prime kicks.
-[Jason] Not including prime kicks. -Okay. Yeah.
Three and under, three and under, that's pretty good.
[Jason] All right. If it's three and over, you owe me ten grand.
-[Nick] Sounds good. -[Jason laughs]
[Jason] I mean, this is kind of the point of the show.
It's really about all the things that I love that I can't do.
And it's just a real honor to watch.
Everyone in this show is just making artwork.
[soft instrumental music]
While I was in LA, I got hit up by a friend, Max Hazen,
about another Brough engine for sale.
This one was an SS100,
the first-ever stock engine to go over 100 miles per hour.
I knew we had to do something special with it.
It's pretty cool.
[Jason] Max takes vintage pieces and gives them a new life.
That's gonna be... that's gonna be fucking sick.
I adore his work. It's something that I've never seen before.
He builds every piece on these bikes.
[Maxwell] It's funny, people ask me, like,
"How long does it take you to build a custom motorcycle?"
And, honestly, the building of it isn't the hard part.
It's getting that perfect line.
It's big.
[Jason] Creating a bike with an engine from a century ago,
to do it justice and, then, to make it my size,
that's a lot to ask.
[soft instrumental music]
[Maxwell] You know, they're extremely expensive bikes,
and to find just the engine,
especially the one that you want,
in decent shape was a challenge. And we got lucky.
Oh, yeah, now you're gonna see it's pretty cool.
Everything's so analog on these old engines.
So, this is...
This spins at cam speed right here,
drives through two single-fire magnetos.
As these gears turn,
it will shoot a spark to each cylinder at the exact time.
Right now, we're set at 30 degrees.
But it's pretty cool to see how you set all this stuff.
[engine hissing softly]
It's pretty cool hearing the motor breathe, too, you know?
These things were just totally decrepit when I got it.
This was, like, so tarnished. And I just, kind of, shined 'em up and cleaned 'em.
But, yeah, some of this old stuff,
it's just got a cool quality you can't replicate.
You know, it's like your casting and everything.
It's that certain amount of imperfect
that makes it have a bit of soul.
[Jason] I don't think people can comprehend
how difficult it is to do what Max does.
To have a vision in your head
and, then, get the whole machine to function correctly,
and completely handmade in this little studio in the city,
it's magic.
Every detail, everything on this bike is hand-built.
I'll never be able to do this in multiple lifetimes, what he does.
So I'm excited for everybody to see that
and really create a really custom Brough Superior.
[soft instrumental music]
-[Jason] Good? -[Nick] Yup.
[Jason] All right.
[exhales]
All right. Making history.
-We did one '27 original paint. -Yup.
Did the Hillclimber, brought it back to life.
And we're gonna do this. I was gonna do this in England
but this is the...
-This is my special weapon right here. -[chuckles]
-Never worked on an English bike before. -No.
We're gonna try to bring an original paint Brough Superior to life.
[Nick] There's a lot going on.
Especially in such an early motor and bike. I mean, this is, like, you know,
-Rolls Royce of the... -Yeah.
...the motorcycle for that time.
All right. So I cleaned the tanks out,
we got spark, we got fuel, we got air, and...
it should light right up.
A little ticklish.
Let's see, full choke.
All right. I'll hold the decompression
You kick. You wanna do it?
I can't do it with my right leg. I broke...
-I got a rod in my leg. -[Jason] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-I can't do both. -All right.
-Wait, one... -[Jason] I got it.
-[engine whirring] -[Nick] Yup.
Two.
Three. All right.
If that starts on first... [chuckles]
If this starts on first kick...
[Nick] We'll do, like, a half a choke.
-All right, a little decompression. -Yup.
Little bit of throttle. Let's...
Kick it to win.
[engine roars]
Bro!
-Bro! -[engine revving]
-[Jason shouts] -[Nick] One kick.
-[laughing] One kick. -[Maxwell] One.
I got the bonus.
Dude! Give me a kiss.
[triumphant instrumental music]
I'm gonna start.
Yabba dabba doo.
On that monkey every day.
It took me a long time just to collect one of these.
I didn't expect it to be that easy.
He worked on it-- I swear to God, he worked on it for a very long time.
You worked on it, like, for, like, three days, right?
[Nick] Yeah.
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
-[Jason] You know... -[Nick] Yeah.
Ooh. First kick.
First kick, English bike. You got it, bro.
Amazing. Damn!
[Jason] So, do I need lights or anything, bro?
-[man] No, that's okay. -[Jason] We're good?
It's kinda the finale, man.
This is...
This is a pretty amazing journey.
We traveled from New Zealand to come down here.
Um, we're gonna show my friend, Mike Hayes,
a very special original Les Paul Burst,
1960 Burst and surprise him.
There it is.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Where's Mike at? Is he in here?
Are you there? Mike Hayes, get your ass here.
All right.
Richard, come on in, buddy.
Richard? Come in here, Richard.
-Hayes, you stand right here? -All right.
So, it's a nice and special thing
and I don't know any... I honestly don't know
a better guitar player in the world.
It's a very arrogant thing to say,
that this man has taught me guitar.
There's no one that loves Sunhouse
and Red Hot Chili Peppers more than me and him
and it's like... and Robert Johnson.
This is my teacher,
this is my, you know, someone I look up to
and we have this special connection and so,
without further ado, baby...
Amen.
Mike Hayes, it has finally happened.
So this is... I want you to go up there
and I want you to blast away
'cause I don't think you've ever played
-a 1960... -Holy crap.
60?
[Jason] He's had it. 1960.
That is an original, all original.
You're gonna go up there
and you're gonna blast away for the troops,
you're gonna blast away for Richard,
you're gonna blast away for me,
you'll blast away for On The Roam.
And that's the real deal right there.
That's the real deal!
-This is yours? For how long, sir? -56 years, bro.
[Richard] Yeah. Yeah.
There's not-- You know there's not so many of these...
-in existence now. -[Jason] I know. Yeah.
So, wow.
I want you to just tear it up, buddy.
You've never played a real deal, right?
I've never, I've never played a 1960.
You'll be playing, you're playing the holy grail.
You're playing the holy grail.
-That is amazing. -And you're gonna go play for the troops,
-you're gonna raise awareness. -I can't thank you enough for the opportunity.
-Oh, we... Thank you. -It's gonna be an amazing night.
-Yeah, you [indistinct]... -[cheers]
-You're gonna smoke it tonight, dude. -Wow.
Wait till this thing growls. I can't wait till you plug it in.
-Okay. [laughs] -[Jason] All right.
-Sound check, baby. -[Michael] Okay.
Listen, you're going out there right now.
[Michael] Yeah, let me... Let me get out here real quick.
[crowd cheering]
[Jason] Hello, hello. Hi, everyone.
[all cheering]
I need you to do me a huge favor.
-[woman] Oh. -Hi. I need you to...
Of course, I need you to put your phones down right now.
[all groaning]
No, that's really cool 'cause it's very personal.
-Okay? -[woman] Yes.
So, before everyone gets here,
I just wanted something really special is that,
this beautiful man right here, come here, Richard.
-This is Richard. -[all cheering]
He's an amazing rock and roll player.
He's been playing his whole life.
Um, he has owned this guitar...
-[audience cheers] -...for... He's owned it for 56 years.
-1967. -[audience] Wow.
I don't know if any of you have seen,
I mean, unless you saw ZZ Top or something, you know...
some amazing, some amazing shows,
but this is the real 1960 Burst.
-[audience] Wow. -So the sound that you're gonna hear tonight...
-[strumming guitar] -...it's, it's the most...
it's the holy grail of rock and roll.
-[audience cheering] -And my best friend,
my teacher and my best friend,
is gonna rip it up for us tonight.
But you're gonna hear it on real Burst.
-The holy grail. -[crowd cheering]
And not only that, our show On The Roam
is all about artistry, it's all about handmade arts
and it's all about paying it forward and charity, so...
-[all cheering] -And so, all of the money.
for this, it's going to our veterans,
Home for Troops.
-Yeah. -They paved the way for our freedom.
And with these men and these women.
It's about everything they've done.
And we've got two hours to tear this motherfucker apart.
-[all cheering] -[rock 'n' roll music playing]
[all cheering]
[speaking indistinctly]
[Jason] Bring this to Mike Hayes,
who's never even... I haven't seen one.
For him to see it and blast away on this,
and then watch Richard watching it,
it's just, like, it's super emotional.
[rock music continues playing]
[ethereal music playing]
[Maxwell] There's so much new stuff
when I do something like this.
It's a blow through supercharged,
pressurized gas tank.
Um, there's a whole lot of stuff happening that,
you know, making a 1930s engine, you know, work this way but...
You know, if, like, if you're gonna do it,
you know, let's do it.
You know? Let's super charge it
and let's go as far as we can with it.
[Jason] Each Brough was custom built and tailored to their owner.
So I feel like Max is continuing the tradition
of the custom build in the same way
it would've been made 100 years ago.
I never thought in a million years
I was gonna own a Brough Superior
let alone have custom bike made to my size.
That's the thing, most of the bikes that I have,
-I just... I'm 6'4", 6'5", you know, 250. -I know.
And I don't fit on a lot of bike...
I love 'em, but this is the first one that like...
you know, aside from, like, choppers
that just fits my size. So it's...
What was it like when you were building this?
Did you think I was gonna--
We, we hadn't met. We did everything by phone.
No, no. You know, I got to a point where
I sat on it and the reach was so far,
but the bars looked right.
It's like, you know, set number six of handlebars
and I tried and I tried
and I'm trying to find the right ones
and these ones were the right ones for the bike.
When I sat on it, I'm like, "Dude, I think it's too big. I think I went too far."
So, I, I hit Jason up and like,
"Hey, I know we haven't met, you haven't seen the bike yet,
but you, you wanna sit on this thing and make sure
it's, it's okay before we go any farther?"
And he sat on it and he's, like,
"Finally a bike that fits me."
Oh, it's... it's perfect.
It came out pretty, pretty nice.
-I'm happy with it. -[Jason sighs]
[Jason] Man, built with love. Love it.
♪ Oh, when she's waitin' ♪
[Maxwell] There's something that you can't put a finger on,
that you feel when you've taken the time
to really make something
that has taken a lot from you to make.
You actually put part of yourself into something
and took a chance and, you know, used from in here
to make something, that's...
It's a feeling that I don't share with many people anymore.
It's wonderful. Thank you so much.
You know, we're gonna make
the first Brough Chopper in history, right?
[Maxwell] Absolutely.
[engine roaring]
[Jason] When we first started filming,
I had six 36s built by
all my friends and artists I admire
'cause they were my favorite bike
and at the time I never thought I would find an original.
You know, you look up to people
and you see something that's beautiful
and you wanna collect that artwork
and to want, you know, to get an original,
it's just near impossible
and they're hard to find in general.
It's not that they're the best motor either,
but I don't know.
It's not even... It's... [laughs]
[man] It's the evolution of Harley when they took off and buried everybody else.
I mean, Indian couldn't hang on.
You know, that style of the new engine,
it was just... It buried everybody... All the other competitors.
[Pete] Hopefully, the water is special effects.
Water line broke right there.
-[Pete] ...Aquaman or anything like that. -[Jeremiah laughs]
[Jason] The first time,
and I have to really look up
to see if it's absolutely original
but my mom works at an insurance company in Iowa.
In her building is a '36 Knucklehead.
I remember seeing it when I was a little kid
and it was a black and like, reddish one
and it was, like, pristine.
Since I saw that bike,
I have been in love with the '36 Knucklehead.
Now here we are, years later in London
where Jeremiah has tracked down my dream bike.
The '36 Knucklehead, it isn't the rarest
but it's the last bike
the four original founders of Harley put together themselves.
It's one of the most sought after bikes on this planet.
It is one of very few all green,
painted green, the fork, the frame, from Harley.
It was stored during the war in Amsterdam
and it was put back together. It is pretty surreal.
[Jeremiah] Pete, come over here and give me some love.
-Hi. -This is Jason. Jason, Pete.
-Hello, sir. -Hi, you've got grease on your hand now.
-No-- Oh, do I? Pleasure to meet you. -Pleasure to meet you too.
Yes. This is all my friends and family.
-You know Jeremiah, this is Liam. -Hi.
-This is Dan. -How you doing?
-You've met [indistinct]... -Yep, yep.
-Let's do this. -You wanna see it?
-I'm dying to see this. -[all laughing]
Dan, come over and hold my hand.
-Let's do this. I'll follow you in, sir. -Yeah.
Oh, wow.
[Jason] There's only two export greens that are, I think, known of.
And to be able to bring that back to the States,
own an original paint, which there's just none...
[Dan] Pretty insane, right?
[Jason] Yeah, that's so insane.
Put my butt on it?
[Pete] Yeah, sure.
[Jason] Oh, man. Wow.
The dash, look at that. Wow.
♪ Every chance I get ♪
♪ I wanna... ♪
[Pete] You're making me wanna keep it.
[Jason] Well, you heard him, let me get off of it.
[all laughing]
Oh, man.
[Pete] When I first got it, it was my everyday...
-[Jason] Yeah. -[Pete] And I loved that bike.
It rode so well as well.
-Yeah. -And so...
If I was going anywhere, I'd go out on that
and... But it's got to the stage now
that, you know, conscious of its original paint.
There aren't many original paint bikes around.
If I crash it or it kicks back and catches fire,
it's gone. So it's...
It's not a pleasure for me to ride anymore.
[Jason chuckles]
[Pete] You know, I would think
looking at the rear chain sprocket
it's only probably done about 25,000 miles.
[Jason] I wanna get it in the light.
[Dan] We have to do a 36, 36-mile ride down to [indistinct] and back.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
[Dan] What have you got over here?
That chain right there.
What was unusual about the Dutch export bikes,
they painted everything,
including the fork, the oil tank... green.
Should be... Standard for the States was black.
God damn!
The things that strike you as a kid,
that you fall in love with,
never really leave you.
Like, who knew back in Iowa,
looking at that bike in my mom's office,
that I would be here someday?
It's beautiful.
It's a dream to find these works of art.
Not to collect them or store them somewhere,
but to keep them running and on the roam.
[laughs exultantly] Yeah, Dan! I made it, baby!
Oh, man.
It's a good day.
[Pete] What are you doing?
Just, just having a moment to say...
Just... Thank you for making my dreams come true.
-I know it's... -Yeah. Thanks for breaking my heart.
-[laughs] -But you're gonna come to California to ride it.
It's just she has a new... She's just gonna go,
she's gonna travel in the States for a little bit
and you're gonna come see her, right?
Thank you very much.
-Thank you, man. -It's getting wet now.
-It's got wet before. -Yeah, she'll be all right.
[Jeremiah] I'm sorry I broke your heart, Pete.
-[Jason growls exultantly] -[laughs]
[Jason] That's what it's all about.
It's not putting it there in some museum.
I mean, I wanna get out, I wanna ride these bikes,
wanna bring 'em back to life.
This guitar's gotta get out there.
It wants to be out there, so...
you know, for some of those artists that need to retire 'em
and make some other ones.
But I wanna, I wanna take this and get it out and inspire.
You know what I mean? This isn't made to sit on some wall or...
I want her out there roaming.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] You're gonna feel the history in this piece of wood.
I'm just seeing, it's just amazing.
There are no words that I can say...
There are no words for it, man.
Thank you so much, Richard,
for giving me the opportunity tonight.
[no audio]
[Richard] I've played all those songs in my life
and I was like, this is, like so inspiring, it's unbelievable.
You played the shit out of 'em.
[all laughing]
Thank you, brother. Thank you.
[Richard] You're a master, my friend.
Bro, this is what we're...
-You know what I mean? -Yeah, this is a new friend of mine.
I mean, we definitely made a connection from the very,
from, right from the get go.
This is... There's magic in this guitar.
Um, and all you have to do is talk to it
and it'll tell you these stories
and that's what it was, uh, up there for me.
It just... it just seemed like it wanted to speak.
It has, it had a story.
[Richard] It does want to, I can tell you that.
Like, it's an inspiration to me.
It's got, it's got your sweat in there, bro.
Yes, it does now. Sorry about that.
[Jason] No, no. That's what we want.
It's got your [indistinct] on there.
[Richard] That's why it is the way it is.
[Michael] Yeah.
[Jason] I'll never be able to play something
like, like, what those guys do,
but be able for them to, like,
take this and take joy and pass it around,
and then when we finish this show,
it's gonna go out and hopefully help artists
and, and travel the world...
inspiring.
Richard could've sold it many, many times over.
And he held on to it
and he waited for the right time.
And you know what? The right time is now.
[Richard] Fifty-six years, you know.
Blessing and I got together last week
and I did some recording with it and we said goodbye,
you know, but I'm definitely gonna miss it,
but it's the right thing to do.
Definitely the right thing to do, in my opinion.
I'm excited about where it's going.
[Jason] It's the roaming, the wandering.
That's it.
[Willie Nelson] A one, two, a one, two, three, four...

[Jason] This show is the hardest show that I've ever shot.
[exclaims]
I'm not a host, but I'm showing you what my heart is.
You may not like it, you may love it...
It's exposed. It's me. My heart's all over it.
And I don't wanna get it right.
I hope you like it.
