**Spike Feresten** (0:05)
Welcome to Spike's Car Radio, here we are.
Matt Feren, Jonny Lieberman, and a little later, Constantine Buschmann, who runs a little company called Brabus. Do you like our Brabus? They are a tuner that now is making cars. They have a car, I think, called the Bodo. Bodo. The Bodo.
You know, when I, over the summer, some friends of mine were in Paris and they sent me a picture of a car in the street and it was that car, the Bodo. They go, what the hell is this? I said, I have no idea. It turns out it's this car. They're also, I think, going to bring by something called the Cabriolet 800, a G-Wagen thing. Yes. So we'll see what we get. They'll be here in a little bit. But right now we're here with Matt Feren. He's on tour, apparently. On tour? Is that what you said? Are you going on tour?

**Matt Farah** (0:56)
Oh, no. I said, Spike, I'd like to come on your show and talk about the fact that we have a live gig at the Irvine Improv August 18th with the Smith and Sniff podcast.

**Spike Feresten** (1:07)
Who are those guys?

**Matt Farah** (1:08)
They're these hilarious English guys. Richard Porter was the head scriptwriter for Top Gear for the entire time and for the Grand Tour.
And his website, Sniff Petrol, which is like a humor car site, existed before Top Gear. And that's how they found him. And he does this show with Jonny Smith, the car pervert on Instagram. Great follow.

**Spike Feresten** (1:31)
There's a guy named the car pervert.

**Jonny Lieberman** (1:33)
He's actually a pervert in real life too. And he's got a thing for cars.

**Matt Farah** (1:39)
So anyway, August 18th, Irvine Improv.

**Spike Feresten** (1:41)
I understood very little of what we saw. But I remember hearing car pervert.

**Jonny Lieberman** (1:46)
Richard Porter is the funniest guy. He's just so funny. Like, hard to explain how funny sniff petrol and how important it used to be.

**Matt Farah** (1:55)
Yeah.

**Jonny Lieberman** (1:56)
Like it helped define like car culture 20 years ago.

**Matt Farah** (1:59)
Imagine how funny you have to be to be made the head script writer of Top Gear by Jeremy Clarkson in 2003
That's how funny you have had to have been 23 years ago. He hasn't gotten less funny.

**Constantin Buschmann** (2:11)
Be careful.

**Spike Feresten** (2:12)
Don't get, oh, there's the car pervert.

**Constantin Buschmann** (2:13)
Now who's this? Who's Jonny Smith?

**Jonny Lieberman** (2:15)
He was the host of Fifth Gear. And he used to be very handsome.

**Spike Feresten** (2:20)
That photo on the right is very perverse. A lot of selfies, there's a lot of selfies.

**Jonny Lieberman** (2:26)
But when I met him, he had a full head of black hair and he was very handsome.
And then he lost all his hair and got very ugly. So as a fellow Jonny, it makes me feel really good. I still have like 87% of my hair, you know?

**Spike Feresten** (2:38)
Jonny Carperver.

**Constantin Buschmann** (2:39)
Yeah.

**Matt Farah** (2:40)
So anyway, all of us are going to be on stage August 18th at the Carolina Improv.

**Constantin Buschmann** (2:43)
Come see us.

**Matt Farah** (2:45)
Tickets are in my Instagram bio.

**Spike Feresten** (2:46)
How many seats are in this theater?

**Matt Farah** (2:48)
It's a bunch, like 300 It's a big room. Yeah, it's a big room. So it should be fun. August 18th. Come on down after car week.

**Spike Feresten** (2:54)
Oh, there you go. A cool day.

**Matt Farah** (2:56)
The week is out Tuesday. Staying until Monday is the time is a real move. Yeah, it's a I did it last year and it was pretty fast.

**Spike Feresten** (3:05)
I do it every year. To me, it feels like staying in Las Vegas until Monday. That's great.

**Matt Farah** (3:13)
You know what is so nice, dude, if you got the Airbnb, you go back to the house after the concourse and take like a three hour nap. And then like when you wake up, everybody's gone. There's no more.

**Spike Feresten** (3:27)
No, I know.

**Constantin Buschmann** (3:27)
That's depressing.

**Spike Feresten** (3:29)
I want to be gone. I want to be on my couch watching House of Dragon.

**Jonny Lieberman** (3:32)
You and Zuckerman, you enjoy leaving.

**Spike Feresten** (3:35)
We're staying for the concourse. This is the one day before the show.

**Matt Farah** (3:39)
If you don't have a private aircraft, yeah, to drive home on Sunday afternoon, especially if you're in a sports car.

**Spike Feresten** (3:47)
What is that like not having a private aircraft? I don't understand.
