SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

, two, one.

Matt Farah (0:00)

I gotta get a picture of that.

Joe Rogan (0:03)

Matt Farah, ladies and gentlemen.

Matt Farah (0:04)

Joe Rogan.

Joe Rogan (0:05)

We're going live.

Matt Farah (0:05)

Are we?

Joe Rogan (0:06)

Dude, the interior of your car is fucking disgusting, and I can't believe you like it. Why would you do that when you can get any interior? You could make it any color. You decided to do, what is it, bus?

Matt Farah (0:17)

It's city bus fabric.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

City, legitimately?

Matt Farah (0:19)

It's actual city bus fabric. Yeah, yeah, if we got it from the city bus supplier.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

Is it just like puke-resistant or something?

Matt Farah (0:26)

It's everything-resistant. UV, dirt, stain. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:29)

But does it feel good?

Matt Farah (0:30)

All right, hi everybody.

I have an old 911 It's called a Safari Build. This guy named Lee Keane built it, and I showed it to Joe, I brought it here. There it is.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

You see people on the video, we're looking at The Smoking Tire on Instagram.

Matt Farah (0:45)

Thank you. And that's my everyday car in LA.

Joe Rogan (0:48)

You drive that everywhere?

Matt Farah (0:49)

Yeah, it's got big fog lights and bash bars, and it's got a lift on it.

Joe Rogan (0:52)

It's manual too, right?

Matt Farah (0:53)

Oh yeah, yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:54)

In traffic.

Matt Farah (0:55)

Yeah, but I don't, I also have a little scooter, so when I need to go fight traffic, I leave it, yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

You drive a scooter?

Matt Farah (1:02)

Yeah, a little Yamaha 125

Joe Rogan (1:03)

Oh, Jesus.

Matt Farah (1:04)

Bro, you wear a fanny pack. I can ride a scooter.

SPEAKER_4 (1:07)

I mean, for your own health and safety.

Matt Farah (1:09)

No, it's the best. Really? I mean, look, riding motorcycles is dangerous. We all know that, but I think it's a calculated risk.

And like, the other day, my wife and I left the house at the same time. We live in Venice, and she left in a car, and I left on the scooter.

And exactly 40 minutes later, I got off the bike and texted her that I was at my destination in Koreatown, and she was at her destination in Culver City. So I was literally double, triple the distance that she had gone. But anyway, the city bus fabric is amazing, and I fully anticipated that 90% of the people would like it, and 10% of the people would find it deeply offensive. I'm surprised that you fell into the offense.

Joe Rogan (1:49)

It's disgusting.

Matt Farah (1:50)

It's cool, man.

Joe Rogan (1:51)

It's gross.

Matt Farah (1:52)

I mean, yes, it's gross.

Joe Rogan (1:53)

I mean, it's fun. It's gross, but it's fun that you did that.

I mean, I'm not offended.

Matt Farah (1:57)

It is fun. And I, you know, here in LA, a car is kind of like your outfit a little bit, you know, a little bit.

Joe Rogan (2:05)

Yeah, you're showing a little jazz.

Matt Farah (2:06)

A little bit. And I like to, if I'm gonna put a message out there of myself in a car, I don't wanna be like some douchey shitbag in a Porsche. Like, I wanna be the guy who's in like a pink Porsche with big tires on it and a bus interior. You know, that to me, it says a little more about me than it does about...

Joe Rogan (2:27)

Porsche is a weird car, right? Ferrari is 100% douchebag.

Matt Farah (2:30)

They take themselves very seriously.

Joe Rogan (2:32)

It's really hard to not be a douchebag in a Ferrari. But although I did see a really interesting one that this guy built in England, where he took a Dino.

Matt Farah (2:40)

Oh yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:41)

And he put a 400 plus horsepower and modern Ferrari engine in it and put like a clear glass over the engine bay and everything you could take off and bring the car back to stock.

Matt Farah (2:54)

It was almost the sort of singerization of a Dino. So the Dino is one of the prettiest Ferraris ever, right? Beautiful car. But if you've ever driven one, they sound great, but they're just slowest dog shit. I mean, they're the V6s. It's the smallest engine Ferrari ever made.

Joe Rogan (3:09)

What did you know the website for the guy that did it or the YouTube channel?

Matt Farah (3:13)

I think the guy, I think his name was David Lee and he built it. And I think if he claimed it was an F40 engine, which I don't think was entirely accurate. I think he exaggerated a little bit. I think it's an engine from like a 360 that has been modified in certain ways.
