Joe Rogan Experience #1102 - Matt Farah

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   ... but I got…

   1. MFMatt Farah0:00

      ... but I got this all day. (laughs)

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      I know you do. Boom, live. Okay. What the fuck were you just telling me about a Rolls-Royce?

   3. MFMatt Farah0:07

      Hi, Joe.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:07

      Hi, Matt Farah.

   5. MFMatt Farah0:07

      What's happening, man?

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:08

      How are you, buddy? Good to see you again, man.

   7. MFMatt Farah0:09

      We were just talking about Rolls-Royce.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:10

      Yeah.

   9. MFMatt Farah0:10

      Because I was here in your, in your new baller studio, which congratulations-

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:14

       Thank you.

   11. MFMatt Farah0:15

       ... it's sick, admiring your skylights. And we were discussing the Rolls-Royce and it, uh, the, the star-filled ceiling they do.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:22

       Yeah.

   13. MFMatt Farah0:22

       Which is, they put all these fiber optic lights into your headliner and it looks like the stars. And it's, I think it's 15 grand, the option-

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:32

       (laughs)

   15. MFMatt Farah0:32

       ... I think. But I-

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       It's so badass, though.

   17. MFMatt Farah0:36

       It's so badass.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:37

       (laughs) It's so badass.

   19. MFMatt Farah0:37

       It's so badass. And not only will they do it so you can get your standard star pattern, which is just whatever the guy, just random, bright random lights. Or they'll make you exact constellations if you prefer.

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       Right, like if you're one of those astrology people.

   21. MFMatt Farah0:49

       Yeah. Or they will make you, you know, the sky directly above your house if you give them a coordinate. There's a photo of it.

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:55

       Look how badass that looks.

   23. MFMatt Farah0:57

       So badass. It's like (laughs) it's so awesome.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:02

       You're, you're balling so hard-

   25. MFMatt Farah1:03

       You are so-

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:04

       ... when you're driving around with a car with stars in the roof. (laughs)

   27. MFMatt Farah1:07

       Well, so the last thing I said before you hit live was that they have just announced they have come out with a shooting star. (laughs) So I don't know how it works.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:16

       (laughs)

   29. MFMatt Farah1:16

       I'm not sure exactly what, but I guess you could do, you can get shooting stars in your ceiling now.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:21

       That is crazy. What are they gonna do, make the whole thing a big LCD pattern or something?
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Outnervyin'. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      two. Yeah.

   2. MFMatt Farah15:01

      Outnervyin'.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:01

      '70 also has the smaller grill face, like the teeth are small in the front, which is what I had.

   4. MFMatt Farah15:06

      Mm.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:06

      I had a '70. Whereas '71 has the full-

   6. MFMatt Farah15:09

      Oh, the-

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:10

      ... grill face.

   8. MFMatt Farah15:10

      Yeah, yeah, yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:11

      It's really more aggressive.

   10. MFMatt Farah15:12

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:12

       I think '71 might be a little bit better looking, to be honest with you.

   12. MFMatt Farah15:15

       I can't recall if one year is more valuable than the other.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:18

       '71, I think is probably the best looking.

   14. MFMatt Farah15:20

       Are the results in, Jamie?

   15. JVJamie Vernon15:21

       Window sticker.

   16. MFMatt Farah15:22

       Yeah.

   17. JVJamie Vernon15:22

       Original.

   18. MFMatt Farah15:23

       Yeah.

   19. JVJamie Vernon15:24

       $3,433.

   20. MFMatt Farah15:25

       (laughs) $3,433.

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:28

       Oh my God.

   22. MFMatt Farah15:29

       The dou-... Well, Jamie's $1-

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       That's it.

   24. MFMatt Farah15:30

       ... would've won it.

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:31

       That's the car.

   26. MFMatt Farah15:31

       There it is, yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan15:32

       Jamie, pull up 1971 Barracuda nose. That is, uh, that's my f- o-... I think my favorite look in any muscle car is the 1971 Barracuda. It's just like this, uh, aggressive American-

   28. MFMatt Farah15:48

       Oh, yeah, with the... Yes.

   29. JRJoe Rogan15:50

       ... grill. Look at that, son.

   30. MFMatt Farah15:50

       Yep.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   It's an '87. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

   2. MFMatt Farah30:00

      It's an '87.

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:01

      That's a good year. We're buil- we're doing a safari build. What does that mean?

   4. MFMatt Farah30:04

      Oh.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:05

      So you're making like one of those off-road Porsche's?

   6. MFMatt Farah30:07

      Rally car.

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:07

      A rally car?

   8. MFMatt Farah30:08

      Rally car. Yeah, it's called the-

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:09

      Oh my God.

   10. MFMatt Farah30:09

       ... the Keen Project. My friend Lee Keen is a Porscha racing driver and he built one for himself. And it is the most glorious thing I've ever driven.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:18

       Oh.

   12. MFMatt Farah30:19

       And it's... Everything that you love about a 911 applies to this, um, on loose surface. There it is.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:27

       That's your car?

   14. MFMatt Farah30:27

       That's not my car. My car is going to look like that, although it will, will be a different color and have a roof rack and it'll be, it'll be slightly, slightly different.

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:35

       That thing's crazy.

   16. MFMatt Farah30:36

       That actually is a Richard Tuttle build from England. If you look up, uh, Jamie, look up Keen-

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       He's the guy that made Chris Harris's car.

   18. MFMatt Farah30:42

       ... Keen Safari. K-E-E-N, and you'll see closer to mine.

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:45

       Tuttle's the guy that made, uh, that crazy green car.

   20. MFMatt Farah30:49

       Yes. Oh, that's my, this is my video of driving Lee's car. Um, and, uh, it is... See, look, I was fatter there.

   21. JVJamie Vernon30:59

       Lee Keen who was a-

   22. MFMatt Farah31:00

       Um, so it's just drifty-

   23. JRJoe Rogan31:03

       (laughs) Wow.

   24. MFMatt Farah31:03

       ... woods oversteer and, and you know the, that, that rear engine kinda snap back thing that everyone's all afraid of in 911s?

   25. JRJoe Rogan31:11

       Mm-hmm. Yeah.

   26. MFMatt Farah31:11

       The pendulum thing?

   27. JRJoe Rogan31:13

       Yeah.

   28. MFMatt Farah31:13

       Well, you get that when you slide and then it catches and comes back. On a loose surface, there's no catch.

   29. JRJoe Rogan31:20

       Oh.

   30. MFMatt Farah31:21

       So you slide it but you don't have the scary snap back. It just drifts and comes back, and drifts.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   (laughs) …

   1. MFMatt Farah45:00

      you know ...

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      (laughs)

   3. MFMatt Farah45:00

      And (laughs) . But, uh, Barrett-Jackson itself, what they don't show you on TV, is that you can buy anything there. Like, you can buy fan ... They had, uh, uh, uh, s- jet turbine powered fan boats-

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:18

      Whoa.

   5. MFMatt Farah45:19

      ... that you could buy. Like, it's al- it's like the auction and da-da-da-da-da-da-da, and then, like, a mile of swap meety shit. And you could buy custom-made cowboy boots and Tempur-Pedic beds and, you know, home furnishings and terrible art and watches and d- it was an- massage chairs. Anything you could think of.

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:38

      Whoa.

   7. MFMatt Farah45:39

      It was, it was just such a, like, sea of commerce.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:44

      Damn.

   9. MFMatt Farah45:44

      And, uh, there's, like, a lot of cars that don't make TV (laughs) that are either amazing or very, very sad in their (laughs) in their own ways.

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:52

       What do you have to do to get in there? Do you have to ... Is there, like, a qualification thing?

   11. MFMatt Farah45:57

       Oh. To just walk in?

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:58

       No, to send a car in there.

   13. MFMatt Farah45:59

       Oh, you just ... You- you go on their website and apply to sell a car. I think ... I th- I don't think there's an- I think they're happy to take your money and try and sell your car. I don't think-

   14. JRJoe Rogan46:08

       So what would stop-

   15. MFMatt Farah46:08

       ... there's any restrictions.

   16. JRJoe Rogan46:09

       ... a guy like Eric Andre from going there-

   17. MFMatt Farah46:13

       (laughs)

   18. JRJoe Rogan46:13

       ... with, like, a-

   19. MFMatt Farah46:14

       And just-

   20. JRJoe Rogan46:14

       ... a Pinto?

   21. MFMatt Farah46:15

       I don't ... I mean, I don't know. I don't think anything-

   22. JRJoe Rogan46:17

       Filming it.

   23. MFMatt Farah46:17

       ... other than someone f- figuring out the joke before he did it.

   24. JRJoe Rogan46:20

       Mm-hmm.

   25. MFMatt Farah46:20

       But I, I don't think much.

   26. JRJoe Rogan46:22

       Wow.

   27. MFMatt Farah46:22

       I think you could probably do it.

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:24

       But for the most part, it's people that are pretty serious about cars?

   29. MFMatt Farah46:27

       It was a lot of dealers. It was a lot more dealers that seemed like they were selling to each other, in terms of the actual buying and the selling.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:34

       Mm-hmm.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:07:59

   Yeah, it seems like…

   1. MFMatt Farah1:00:00

      as long as like any other car.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:01

      Yeah, it seems like it when you're driving one too.

   3. MFMatt Farah1:00:03

      Mm-hmm. Tanks.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:04

      Yeah.

   5. MFMatt Farah1:00:04

      Absolute, absolute tanks. And they're over engineered. But I think in the, in the 80s and 90s I think the Japanese design and production philosophy was just so far beyond where we were.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:18

      Yeah, we were making shit during those years.

   7. MFMatt Farah1:00:20

      Garbage. Absolute g-

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:21

      (laughs)

   9. MFMatt Farah1:00:21

      I mean, I have a '88 Mustang you just saw.

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:24

       (laughs)

   11. MFMatt Farah1:00:24

       I have an '87 Porsche, and I had a 1990 Nissan Skyline GTR.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:29

       Ooh.

   13. MFMatt Farah1:00:29

       The Porsche and the fucking Skyline are s-... same time.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:33

       Yeah.

   15. MFMatt Farah1:00:34

       Same time period.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:35

       Yeah.

   17. MFMatt Farah1:00:35

       They're spaceships compared to the hunk of shit that is my Mustang.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:39

       (laughs)

   19. MFMatt Farah1:00:40

       I mean-

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:00:41

       Those skylines are badass, man.

   21. MFMatt Farah1:00:42

       They're awesome. Skylines are super cool.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:00:45

       Is it a manual?

   23. MFMatt Farah1:00:45

       Yeah, yeah. I sold it, but I- I doubled up in six months, though. They're hot.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:00:49

       Well, think about what they did with the GTR. When they came out, when Nissan came out with the GTR-

   25. MFMatt Farah1:00:54

       The new, the newest one.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:00:55

       ... the new, the newest one.

   27. MFMatt Farah1:00:56

       Yeah, mm-hmm.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:00:56

       Dude, I've only driven one of those twice, but one time when I drove one, the- the most remarkable thing about it was I was taking a turn to- to hit an off-ramp, and I was like a little late. I was like, "Oh, that's the li- I gotta change lanes." And it just went like this, crossed the lanes. Zip.

   29. MFMatt Farah1:01:11

       Yep.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:01:11

       Like nothing.
