   7. JGJeremy Gerber0:25

      Jeremy Gerber.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:26

      And, uh, you guys make fucking awesome cars-

   9. NANarrator0:29

      Well, thank you, dude.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       ... for a living.

   11. JGJeremy Gerber0:30

       I, I appreciate that.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       What a great job. I mean, what a fucking great job.

   13. NANarrator0:34

       Dude, yeah it is.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:34

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

   15. JGJeremy Gerber0:41

       Living the dream, man. That's it.

   16. NANarrator0:42

       Yep.

   17. JGJeremy Gerber0:42

       That's what it's all about.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       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."

   19. JGJeremy Gerber0:48

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

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:51

       That thing, that thing is a masterpiece. It's my favorite. That's my favorite car now.

   21. NANarrator0:55

       Fuck yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:55

       That's ... That just went number one. It, it b- beat all of them.

   23. JGJeremy Gerber0:58

       Hell yeah, dude.

   24. JRJoe Rogan0:59

       You know, like edges, you know? The Camaro's amazing. The, 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 ...

   25. JHJosh Henning1:12

       So exciting.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:12

       By ... 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, um, when, uh, my friend Joel told me he got it back, he, he called me and he said, uh, "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, I wanted to get a ... I only like hot rods that are manuals. That's all I like. I do not like automatic hot rods. It just feels like something's wrong. When, when you're driving like a classic muscle car, it's like, "Th- this is ... Why am I not shifting?" You know? And just what you guys did to that thing is just ... You guys are artists.

   27. JGJeremy Gerber1:52

       Well, appreciate it, man.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:53

       I mean, it's really amazing.

   29. JGJeremy Gerber1:54

       Dude, we were stoked, stoked to hear when you found that car, 'cause you could've built anything, you know?

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:58

       Yeah.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      where my club is on 6th Street-

   2. JGJeremy Gerber15:01

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:01

      They shut the street down on the weekends and it's just for people walking around. It's amazing. It's fucking cool.

   4. JGJeremy Gerber15:07

      A group of those-

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:08

      Just everybody just wandering around going to bars. It's, it's really prime- For a bachelorette party on about six or seven of those scooters.

   6. JGJeremy Gerber15:14

      Oh yeah, dude. Just-

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:15

      Oh, they're always happening.

   8. JGJeremy Gerber15:16

      Seeing them get KO'd.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:17

      They're always happening and they're, they're in those pedicabs. They're always in the back. Yeah. (laughs)

   10. JGJeremy Gerber15:21

       Hey, those scooters should be regulated here. We're lucky to have Josh with us today 'cause Josh had himself a fucking violent wreck on one of those in, where was it, Louisville?

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       (Laughs) Yeah.

   12. JGJeremy Gerber15:30

       Oh man.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:31

       Helmet or no helmet?

   14. JGJeremy Gerber15:32

       No helmet. No helmet.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:33

       Head bang, fucking like-

   16. JGJeremy Gerber15:34

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:34

       Bounce.

   18. JGJeremy Gerber15:35

       Like a bouncy ball.

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:36

       We're all doing stuff to concrete.

   20. JGJeremy Gerber15:38

       Concrete. Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:39

       Oh boy.

   22. JGJeremy Gerber15:41

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:41

       Pull out my, pull out my phone, I'm navigating. We're trying to find a bar. I'm in the lead and pull out my phone and just kind of stand there and then got a tank slapper and-

   24. JGJeremy Gerber15:49

       Oh, God.

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:50

       Honestly, my pride has, has hurt way worse.

   26. JGJeremy Gerber15:55

       Oh.

   27. JRJoe Rogan15:55

       Yeah. It's not recoverable. When you get older, falling becomes way more dangerous.

   28. JGJeremy Gerber16:00

       That's what we said.

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:01

       You know?

   30. JGJeremy Gerber16:02

       (laughs)
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Dude. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      And so he took this 911T and he brought it to this guy who makes race cars, and he had him fit it with a roll cage and, you know, ramp up the engine and tune the suspension. And there's a video of him driving around the British countryside in this green 1970s Porsche, and it's fucking amazing.

   2. JGJeremy Gerber30:22

      Dude.

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:22

      It's amaze- it's the- it's what everybody loves about driving just in one video. This guy who's an automotive enthusiast, he can kind of get any car he wants. I mean, Chris Harris is like the premier auto journalist-

   4. JGJeremy Gerber30:34

      True.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:34

      ... of our time. And he chooses to have this one little tiny lightweight stripped down car that he has built. See if, if you found it?

   6. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)30:45

      Uh.

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:45

      Check this out. Give me some volume. I need volume.

   8. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)30:48

      There's enough. Singer. Singer.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:48

      Oh no, that's not it. That's not it. That's the Singer DLS.

   10. JGJeremy Gerber30:51

       That's just nasty.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:52

       That's a nasty car, too. The one below it, the one below it. Re- no, not Singer. Um, Chris Harris 911. Put like...... my f- perfect sports car, 911, my perfect sports car. (car engine revs)

   12. JGJeremy Gerber31:06

       In that era of 911, I mean, it's very similar to the muscle car vibe.

   13. JRJoe Rogan31:09

       Yes. Very. That's it right there.

   14. JGJeremy Gerber31:11

       So connected.

   15. JRJoe Rogan31:11

       The second one down. Remember the green 911? That one. (car engine revs) So, this is a car that Chris just like, you know, had built over time. Just give me-

   16. NANarrator31:23

       ... some of you-

   17. JRJoe Rogan31:23

       Yeah.

   18. NANarrator31:23

       ... chassis up to modern levels of per- which is pretty cool.

   19. JRJoe Rogan31:27

       Let it go right there.

   20. NANarrator31:28

       Then we got completely carried away with the engine spec, and I stomped my feet like a child until Richard found a later G50 gearbox, and altered the rear torsion tubes to make it fit. Oh, and the engine is 3.4 liters of hand-built sexiness, (car engine revs) and it has about 320 horsepower. And the car weighs under 1,000 kilograms. And when we drove it side by side with my then new BMW M3, the Porsche was quicker. (car engine revs) The chassis is probably the trickiest bit of all in this car. I didn't just want an RS replica, so we went for the look of an ST, which for those of you less geeky than me on the subject of old 911s, is a car from 1971, with wider arches than an RS and no ducktail spoiler. So, we have eight and nine-inch wheels. The nines are rare and stupidly expensive, but they do look the business. And that also means we have more mechanical grit-

   21. JGJeremy Gerber32:18

       Business.

   22. NANarrator32:18

       ... and a wider track. And we needed some trick dampers to deal with that. The internals of the ones fitted to this car are very similar to the stuff fitted to Sebastian Loeb-

   23. JGJeremy Gerber32:26

       Shit.

   24. JRJoe Rogan32:27

       Yeah.

   25. JGJeremy Gerber32:28

       That looks fun.

   26. JRJoe Rogan32:29

       That's what I'm talking about.

   27. JGJeremy Gerber32:30

       See?

   28. NANarrator32:30

       ... man who runs the joint is to dampers what Gordon Ramsay is to roast lamb. They cost a horrendous amount of money-

   29. JGJeremy Gerber32:36

       (laughs)

   30. NANarrator32:36

       ... but are well worth it.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Never in person. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      homeless people." He goes, "Los Angeles is unmanageable. They have like 100,000 homeless people." When you get to that point- have you ever seen Skid Row in downtown LA?

   2. NANarrator45:10

      Never in person.

   3. PGPhil Gerber45:10

      I've seen videos.

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:11

      It's insane. I saw it in person in the early 2000s before the pandemic, and it was nuts then.

   5. NANarrator45:18

      That's wild.

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:18

      Like, I couldn't believe it. And it was engineered. They used to take people when they would arrest them and dump them off on Skid Row. They'd take people and bring them there. Like, they- they literally set up these homeless shelters and they set up these food banks and they set up- and these people just live on this street. It's a zombie movie. It's so crazy when you go down there.

   7. NANarrator45:40

      Have you seen this?

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:41

      And when I s- what is this?

   9. NANarrator45:43

      This is saying that there's up to 10,000 people now homeless in Austin.

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:46

       10,000?

   11. NANarrator45:47

       Yeah, 1% of it's population.

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:49

       What?

   13. NANarrator45:49

       It's- it's according to the City of Austin's own count.

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:51

       Holy shit. Is this new?

   15. NANarrator45:53

       Yeah, I mean they're all- they moved them out of the downtown area and under the bridges, and they all live out in the parks now apparently, like-

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:58

       Oh, in like state parks?

   17. NANarrator45:59

       Not even state parks. Like city- the city parks. This is Zilker Park I think they're moving them through.

   18. JRJoe Rogan46:03

       What?

   19. NANarrator46:03

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan46:04

       Wow. That's crazy man. I didn't know that. So they just got it out of view? Is that what they did?

   21. NANarrator46:10

       Yeah, I believe so.

   22. JRJoe Rogan46:11

       So is- what it is is like there's different people that have to patrol that? It might be different than the cops that are patrolling people on the streets.

   23. NANarrator46:20

       168 different camps across the city.

   24. JRJoe Rogan46:22

       Wow. Wow.

   25. NANarrator46:26

       Of- often hidden from public view in the woods.

   26. JRJoe Rogan46:28

       For sure.

   27. NANarrator46:29

       Dude, it's- it's kinda like, you know, sweeping the- the floor and just-

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:32

       Okay take everything I said back.

   29. NANarrator46:33

       (laughs) Under some rug there a little better.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:36

       They just got it off the streets.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:06:38

   So- …

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      scared to death to drive it.

   2. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:02

      So-

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:02

      Not drivable?

   4. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:03

      When you get to that level of show.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:03

      When you're going to like a, you know, insane show car, trying to win every indoor award- Really, they're not drivable?

   6. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:08

      Dude, you get ... It's ... When you look at our industry-

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:10

      Laughing at me? (laughs)

   8. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:11

      Yeah. No, when you look at our industry-

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

      Oh.

   10. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:13

       ... it's, it's wacky. Like, the stuff you see that's so over the fucking top, like those hero cars and stuff, that's not something you're gonna jump in and, and drive. You're not driving that to work.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:22

       Right.

   12. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:22

       It's just not happening.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:22

       When you say hero cars, are you talking about like those Baja racer things?

   14. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:25

       Nah, you see stuff that's like, like look at-

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:28

       Rid- Riddler.

   16. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:28

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:28

       Riddler Award cars.

   18. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:29

       Like SEMA show coverage or like these, the, the biggest, what, like the Riddler Award like Josh says. You've got these cars that are like million, two million dollar builds, right? They have chrome plated rotors. Yeah. You know, and felt pads.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:40

       It-

   20. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:40

       You know, this is like show car, show car upon show car.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:00:43

       Oh, so you can't even drive it at all?

   22. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:44

       No. It's a trophy.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:00:44

       Oh, you can in and out of the trailer?

   24. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:46

       Yeah, and the tires are all wrapped-

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:00:47

       What?

   26. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:47

       ... in Saran wrap so the tires don't get dirty and-

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:00:49

       Uh, what?

   28. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:50

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:00:51

       Really?

   30. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)1:00:51

       Yeah.
