Joe Rogan (0:13)

What's up, hey, first of all, thanks for coming here, thanks for everything.

Jeremy Gerber (0:18)

Pleasure, man.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

We're very excited. Just introduce yourself, start with you, Josh.

Josh Henning (0:22)

I'm Josh Henning from The Roadster Shop.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

Phil Gerber.

Jeremy Gerber (0:25)

Jeremy Gerber.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

And you guys make fucking awesome cars.

Jeremy Gerber (0:28)

Well, thank you.

Joe Rogan (0:29)

Thank you for a living. I appreciate it. What a great job. I mean, what a fucking great job.

You guys get to work on some of the fucking coolest cars that have ever been made. It's a, you guys have an incredible gig.

Jeremy Gerber (0:40)

Living the dream, man. That's it. That's what it's all about.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

So I drove that 1970 Barracuda and I got here. I said, I don't want to say shit until we get on the air.

Jeremy Gerber (0:48)

Dude, I'm sweating. I've been sweating thinking about it.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

That thing is a masterpiece.

It's my favorite, that's my favorite car now. That just went, number one, it beat all of them.

Jeremy Gerber (0:58)

Hell yeah, dude.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

You know, like edges, the Camaro is amazing. My Nova that I got from Steve Strope is fucking incredible, but this thing is fucking. It's also, it's like I have so much history with this car. And I bought this car 20 years ago.

And Reggie Bush bought it, and then he got rid of it after a while. He dumped a bunch of money into it too, he was telling me. And then when my friend Yoel told me he got it back, he called me and he said, I have your Barracuda. I'm like, no.

And this is like, you know, I was already thinking that I wanted to get another one. Like I wanted to get them.

I only like hot rods that are manuals. That's all I like. I do not like automatic hot rods. Just feels like something's wrong. When you're driving a classic muscle car, it's like, why am I not shifting? You know? And just what you guys did to that thing is just, you guys are artists. I appreciate it. It's really amazing.

Jeremy Gerber (1:54)

Dude, we were stoked, stoked to hear when you found that car, because you could have built anything, you know? So, but that damn car was so rad.

And to start with it, revamp that sucker and put our touch on it, man, I had a blast doing it, dude, and I'm glad that you're digging it.

Joe Rogan (2:08)

I'd love it. I love it.

Jeremy Gerber (2:10)

That was the whole, everything on that, all the styling and stuff aside, it was, the focus was making that fucker work really good so that you got something fun to drive, so.

Joe Rogan (2:19)

It drives so different than anything else. It's that high-revving, naturally aspirated Mercury engine, which is very different.

Jeremy Gerber (2:28)

It's a wild motor, man. Like the Mopar dudes, not a big fan of it, right? Because it's Chevy based, but it's a fucking motor. It's an internal combustion engine.

SPEAKER_5 (2:39)

Looks like a heavy under the hood.

Joe Rogan (2:40)

People have to get over that shit. Like, there's a bunch of people that are taking V8s, like LS engines, and putting them in the back of Porsches.

And people are like, man, I don't know. They're doing those 964s, air-cooled engines.

But dude, do you know how fun that would be? It's probably lighter than the Porsche engine. It's got way more torque, way more horsepower. Totally different sound.

Josh Henning (3:05)

I mean, it's upgrades. It doesn't have to fit. It's not like you've got to stick with whatever came in a factory.

Make it better.

Joe Rogan (3:13)

It's hot rotting. They gotta let that shit go.

They gotta let that shit go. The people who are the worst about it is Ferrari people. Ferrari will sue you.

Jeremy Gerber (3:21)

I know, man. I've heard that.

Joe Rogan (3:23)

That is so crazy. If you buy a Ferrari and you paint it weird colors, they'll fucking sue you.

Jeremy Gerber (3:29)

Yeah, you see there's a couple things floating around. You got that dude that just, man, he swapped a Honda motor, turbo Honda motor into a little 308

Every comment's like, when's the cease and desist letter coming?

Joe Rogan (3:41)

Yeah, I wonder if they can do that with classic ones, because I know that there's a bunch of people that have hot-rodded some old GTOs, and they really are incredible.

Jeremy Gerber (3:49)

They're cool, dude. I talk about it all the time. I'm itching to like restomod at Testerosa.
