   3. NANarrator0:18

      My pleasure, man. Absolutely.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:18

      We're very excited. Um, just introduce yourself. Start with you, Josh.

   5. JHJosh Henning0:22

      I'm Josh Henning from the Roadshow Shop.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:24

      Phil Gerber.

   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.

2. 0:43 – 2:19

   Joe’s 1970 Barracuda becomes his new #1: history, feel, and why manuals matter

   1. 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."

   2. JGJeremy Gerber0:48

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

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:51

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

   4. NANarrator0:55

      Fuck yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:55

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

   6. JGJeremy Gerber0:58

      Hell yeah, dude.

   7. 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 ...

   8. JHJosh Henning1:12

      So exciting.

   9. 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.

   10. JGJeremy Gerber1:52

       Well, appreciate it, man.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:53

       I mean, it's really amazing.

   12. JGJeremy Gerber1:54

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

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:58

       Yeah.

   14. JGJeremy Gerber1:58

       So ... But that damn car was so rad, and to start with it-

   15. JRJoe Rogan2:02

       Yeah.

   16. JGJeremy Gerber2:03

       ... revamp that sucker, and put our touch on it. Man, I had a, I had a blast doing it, dude, and I'm glad that you're digging it.

   17. JRJoe Rogan2:09

       I love it. I love it.

   18. JGJeremy Gerber2:10

       I mean, 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.

3. 2:19 – 3:50

   Engine swap debates and purist backlash: performance vs brand loyalty

   1. JRJoe Rogan2:19

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

   2. JGJeremy Gerber2:26

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan2:26

      ... which is, uh, like very different.

   4. JGJeremy Gerber2:28

      It's a wild motor, man.

   5. JRJoe Rogan2:29

      Yeah.

   6. JGJeremy Gerber2:30

      The, like the Mopar dudes, not a big fan of it, right? Because it's-

   7. JRJoe Rogan2:34

      Right, 'cause it's not Mopar.

   8. JGJeremy Gerber2:34

      ... it's Chevy, it's Chevy-based, but it's a fucking motor, you know? It's an internal combustion engine.

   9. JRJoe Rogan2:39

      It looks like a Hemi under the hood.

   10. JGJeremy Gerber2:40

       Correct.

   11. JRJoe Rogan2:40

       People have to get over that shit.

   12. JGJeremy Gerber2:41

       Yeah, yeah they do.

   13. JHJosh Henning2:42

       Like, um, uh, there's a bunch of people that are taking V8s, like LS engines, and putting them in the back of Porsches.

   14. JGJeremy Gerber2:49

       Yeah. Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan2:50

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

   16. JGJeremy Gerber2:55

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan2:55

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

   18. JGJeremy Gerber3:02

       Oh, yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan3:02

       Way more horsepower. Totally different sound.

   20. JHJosh Henning3:05

       It's, I mean, it's upgrades. It doesn't have to fit. It's not like you've gotta stick with whatever came in at factory. You can make it better.

   21. JRJoe Rogan3:13

       You could really ... It's hot-rodding. They gotta let that shit go.

   22. JHJosh Henning3:15

       Yeah, they do.

   23. JRJoe Rogan3:15

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

   24. JGJeremy Gerber3:21

       I know, man. I've f- I've heard that. There's a-

   25. JRJoe Rogan3:23

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

   26. JGJeremy Gerber3:29

       Yeah. Yeah, you see there's a couple things floating around. You got that dude that just, uh ... Man, he swapped a, like a K- Honda motor, turbo Honda motor into a real 308. Every comment's like, "When's the cease and desist letter coming?"

   27. JRJoe Rogan3:41

       Yeah, I wonder if they can do that with classic ones.

   28. JGJeremy Gerber3:43

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan3:43

       'Cause I know that there's a bunch of people that have hot-rodded some old GTOs, and they really are incredible.

   30. JGJeremy Gerber3:49

       They're cool, dude.
4. 3:50 – 4:50

   80s/90s nostalgia, Testarossa talk, and the ‘Lambo truck with warrants’ riff

   1. JGJeremy Gerber3:50

      I talk about it all the time. I'm, I'm itching to like Restomod a Testarossa.

   2. JRJoe Rogan3:54

      Ooh.

   3. JGJeremy Gerber3:55

      It's gonna happen one of these days, but ...

   4. JRJoe Rogan3:57

      I don't know why, but I think-

   5. JHJosh Henning3:58

      '80 and '90s coming back.

   6. JRJoe Rogan3:59

      I seen those car- ... Those cars never did it for me.

   7. JGJeremy Gerber4:01

      Really?

   8. JHJosh Henning4:02

      Really?

   9. JRJoe Rogan4:02

      They were like, it looks like junk.

   10. JGJeremy Gerber4:03

       Oh, man.

   11. JRJoe Rogan4:04

       That side thing with the, like vents? Like get the fuck out of here.

   12. JHJosh Henning4:07

       Dude, it's-

   13. JRJoe Rogan4:07

       What is that?

   14. JHJosh Henning4:07

       (laughs)

   15. JGJeremy Gerber4:07

       It's the generation. It's the generational gap, you know?

   16. JRJoe Rogan4:10

       No, it was like, that was Miami Vice. I was a kid. I remember Miami Vice. Everybody wanted a Testarossa.

   17. JHJosh Henning4:15

       I wanted to do the, like that Lambo LP2000 or whatever, the Lambo truck, the vintage one.

   18. JGJeremy Gerber4:21

       Oh yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan4:21

       Oh, the one Mike Tyson had.

   20. JHJosh Henning4:22

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan4:22

       Mike Tyson had one of those back in the day.

   22. JHJosh Henning4:25

       Get those with mid-travel.

   23. JGJeremy Gerber4:26

       You, you only want to do that because you picture that fucking, uh, Doberman sitting in the front seat of that.

   24. JHJosh Henning4:30

       Yeah. (laughs)

   25. JGJeremy Gerber4:30

       That's a perfect car for like Doberman, Rottweiler.

   26. JHJosh Henning4:33

       I've got a li- yeah, I got a-

   27. JGJeremy Gerber4:34

       Yeah, that's your style, for sure.

   28. JRJoe Rogan4:35

       Yeah, that's a guy with warrants.

   29. JHJosh Henning4:36

       (laughs)

   30. JGJeremy Gerber4:37

       (laughs) Yeah.
5. 4:50 – 7:44

   How the ’Cuda drives: 8,400 RPM, exhaust maturity, and a 50/50-balanced muscle car

   1. JGJeremy Gerber4:50

      So, dude, did you rip that 'cuda? You drove it here, right?

   2. JRJoe Rogan4:52

      Oh, yeah. I drove it here.

   3. JGJeremy Gerber4:53

      So you got-

   4. JRJoe Rogan4:53

      Yeah.

   5. JGJeremy Gerber4:53

      ... you got a few miles on it?

   6. JRJoe Rogan4:54

      Yeah. Oh my God. Dude, it's so different. That, that engine is a, it's just a ... The high-revving engine. I mean, what's the, uh, what's the red line on that thing?

   7. JGJeremy Gerber5:03

      You could shift it at like 83, 8400 RPM.

   8. JRJoe Rogan5:05

      That's so crazy for a V8.

   9. JGJeremy Gerber5:07

      Wow.

   10. JRJoe Rogan5:07

       It's so crazy, and it sounds so different. It's like, it sounds like, um, a combination of like the voodoo engine from the, uh, the Shelby GT350-

   11. JGJeremy Gerber5:18

       Yep.

   12. JRJoe Rogan5:18

       ... and a m- like an exotic car. It's real weird.

   13. JGJeremy Gerber5:22

       It's got a sweet sound. Like, the voodoo engines in all those Coyotes are cool, but like, me even being a car guy, if I'm on the highway and I'm just cruising like with my family and some asshole kid flies by you in one of those with an exhaust system on it, I'm like, "What the fuck is-"

   14. JRJoe Rogan5:35

       (laughs)

   15. JGJeremy Gerber5:35

       "Jesus, man."

   16. JRJoe Rogan5:36

       Yeah.

   17. JGJeremy Gerber5:36

       "Have a little respect."

   18. JRJoe Rogan5:37

       I don't think you need an exhaust system-

   19. JGJeremy Gerber5:39

       They sound bad.

   20. JRJoe Rogan5:39

       ... on one of those.

   21. JHJosh Henning5:40

       (laughs) Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan5:40

       They sound good when they're straight from the factory.

   23. JHJosh Henning5:43

       Yeah.

   24. JGJeremy Gerber5:43

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan5:43

       I like that sound. But dudes go crazy with their exhausts.

   26. JGJeremy Gerber5:46

       Oh, yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan5:46

       It's like, isn't that annoying to you? Like ...

   28. JGJeremy Gerber5:48

       Yeah, it, it's like a maturity thing, I think, you know?

   29. JRJoe Rogan5:51

       Yeah.

   30. JGJeremy Gerber5:51

       It's ... You gotta ... You want the exhaust tone. Like that car too, we put that little bypass on it.
6. 7:44 – 9:47

   Barracuda vs supercharged Camaro: ‘sports car’ balance vs ‘bar brawler’ torque

   1. NANarrator7:44

      Uh, you drove the, you drove the Camaro yesterday, you were talking about.

   2. JGJeremy Gerber7:47

      Yeah.

   3. NANarrator7:47

      So it's interesting, back to back two days, jumping out of the Camaro because you know like the Camaro.

   4. JRJoe Rogan7:51

      The Camaro's way more sketchy. The Camaro is like, if you're taking a right turn, you give it a little juice, you're gonna kick out.

   5. NANarrator7:58

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan7:58

      Like, it's so powerful at the low end. It's so whoom! It's got that whoom.

   7. NANarrator8:03

      Oh, yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan8:03

      It just wants to go. Like, you, you gotta be, like, very careful with the throttle in the Camaro.

   9. JGJeremy Gerber8:09

      Yeah, you gotta respect the Camaro a lot more-

   10. JRJoe Rogan8:10

       Yeah.

   11. JGJeremy Gerber8:10

       ... than this one. This-

   12. JRJoe Rogan8:11

       This, this one just lets you feel where the balance ... It just, like, you know where the limitations are. It just-

   13. NANarrator8:18

       Right.

   14. JRJoe Rogan8:18

       It f- it's, like, giving you more information it seems like.

   15. JGJeremy Gerber8:21

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan8:21

       The Camaro's just like a bar brawler. You know, the Camaro's-

   17. NANarrator8:24

       (laughs)

   18. JRJoe Rogan8:24

       ... like some crazy dude who comes into a bar and he's doing coke.

   19. NANarrator8:27

       (laughs)

   20. JRJoe Rogan8:27

       And he just wants to start smashing shit.

   21. JGJeremy Gerber8:29

       Fucked up. (laughs) Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan8:29

       You know, it's like, that's what it's like.

   23. JGJeremy Gerber8:30

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan8:30

       It's like, I mean, it handles gr- for one of those cars, for a '69, I mean, you don't get a '69 Camaro that handles better. It handles amazing. But it just ha- it's so rowdy. And it has-

   25. NANarrator8:41

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan8:41

       What is that, like, 850 horsepower?

   27. JGJeremy Gerber8:43

       Yeah, 850 horse. It's the supercharge, man.

   28. JRJoe Rogan8:45

       Yeah.

   29. NANarrator8:45

       Yeah.

   30. JGJeremy Gerber8:45

       The torque's like fucking-
7. 9:47 – 14:15

   Trucks, attention magnetism, and freak accidents: from C10 appeal to trees and trains

   1. JGJeremy Gerber9:47

      And for me, I'm like, you know, you drive something like that to a, a ga- just to fill it up with gas, and you're like, dude, everybody's best friend. Everybody's got something to say.

   2. JRJoe Rogan9:55

      Yeah.

   3. JGJeremy Gerber9:55

      Those old pickup, '70s pickup trucks too, same fucking situation there.

   4. JRJoe Rogan9:59

      Oh, yeah. People who love those old pickup trucks, that's, like, a very specific breed of person.

   5. JGJeremy Gerber10:04

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan10:04

      Those C10s.

   7. JGJeremy Gerber10:06

      It is.

   8. JRJoe Rogan10:07

      You know.

   9. JGJeremy Gerber10:07

      It, you know, it's, it is and it isn't 'cause you get, it, like, transcends just the, like, C10 dudes 'cause chicks love those ... Dude, C10s.

   10. JRJoe Rogan10:15

       Really?

   11. JGJeremy Gerber10:15

       Oh, yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan10:15

       Chicks?

   13. JGJeremy Gerber10:15

       Like, square bod- square body Chevys.

   14. JRJoe Rogan10:17

       Really?

   15. JGJeremy Gerber10:18

       Man, if you're that-

   16. JRJoe Rogan10:18

       Interesting.

   17. JGJeremy Gerber10:18

       ... you're a single dude and you're trying to roll some, some broads, man.

   18. NANarrator10:22

       (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan10:23

       Really?

   20. JGJeremy Gerber10:23

       Get, get a fucking-

   21. JRJoe Rogan10:24

       Oh.

   22. JGJeremy Gerber10:24

       ... square body-

   23. JRJoe Rogan10:25

       Old truck. There's guys out there right now taking notes and they're like, "Okay."

   24. JGJeremy Gerber10:28

       They're like, "So you sure?"

   25. NANarrator10:29

       I don't know.

   26. JGJeremy Gerber10:29

       "You sure about this?"

   27. JRJoe Rogan10:30

       (laughs)

   28. NANarrator10:30

       Solid sales pitch.

   29. JGJeremy Gerber10:31

       Which, yeah. So the year range, what do we got? 73 to 79, that's what I would say.

   30. NANarrator10:35

       How we doing? Yeah, those, those Legend series or whatever.
8. 14:15 – 24:56

   Scooter chaos and the ‘getting older hurts’ reality check

   1. JGJeremy Gerber14:15

      It's an adrenaline thing too, you know. We were out ripping those scooters, those little rental (laughs) fucking electric-

   2. JRJoe Rogan14:20

      (laughs)

   3. JGJeremy Gerber14:20

      ... scooters and Sean was, a buddy of mine, he fucking throttles down on this thing. I'm like, "Dude, don't do that."

   4. JRJoe Rogan14:26

      Oh, yeah.

   5. JGJeremy Gerber14:26

      Right in front of the train. It looked like something out of a movie.

   6. JRJoe Rogan14:29

      Oh, goddammit.

   7. JGJeremy Gerber14:29

      Like if we had fireworks going off in the background-

   8. JRJoe Rogan14:31

      Oh, goddammit.

   9. JGJeremy Gerber14:31

      ... it would've been-

   10. JRJoe Rogan14:31

       I forgot all about that. Yeah.

   11. JGJeremy Gerber14:33

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan14:33

       I had, I had a concussion. That's why I forgot about it. (laughs)

   13. JGJeremy Gerber14:36

       (laughs) And you're trusting some fucking rental scooter. Right.

   14. JRJoe Rogan14:39

       Like what are the odds that that thing is not beat to shit?

   15. JGJeremy Gerber14:42

       You're driving around Austin, yesterday-

   16. JRJoe Rogan14:43

       After we drove them.

   17. JGJeremy Gerber14:44

       ... those things just, they leave them wherever, huh?

   18. JRJoe Rogan14:46

       Ever.

   19. JGJeremy Gerber14:47

       Like-

   20. JRJoe Rogan14:47

       You have an app, you just find one, pick it up, start riding.

   21. JGJeremy Gerber14:49

       Ah, you're in the middle of the road, like yesterday-

   22. JRJoe Rogan14:51

       Yeah.

   23. JGJeremy Gerber14:51

       ... we were driving around, they're just fucking everywhere.

   24. JRJoe Rogan14:53

       It's a great way for people to get around though. If you, like, look, Austin is a great walking around city. There's a lot of places just like, like where my club is on 6th Street-

   25. JGJeremy Gerber15:01

       Yeah.

   26. 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.

   27. JGJeremy Gerber15:07

       A group of those-

   28. 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.

   29. JGJeremy Gerber15:14

       Oh yeah, dude. Just-

   30. JRJoe Rogan15:15

       Oh, they're always happening.
9. 24:56 – 28:15

   Modern speed vs analog joy: Tesla Plaid shock, but muscle cars win on experience

   1. JGJeremy Gerber24:56

      But, dude, the- the horsepower and the performance is pretty mind-blowing on that stuff. Like, if you think, everybody raves about, like, the muscle car era.

   2. JRJoe Rogan25:03

      Mm-hmm.

   3. JGJeremy Gerber25:03

      But if you stop and think, like, dude, you could go into the dealership right now and buy 1000 horsepower car-

   4. JRJoe Rogan25:08

      Or drop.

   5. JGJeremy Gerber25:08

      ... a car that runs nine second quarter miles.

   6. JRJoe Rogan25:10

      Jamie just got a brand new Tesla Plaid, and I don't know if you've driven one of those. But, look, I love muscle cars, but that car makes every car feel stupid.

   7. JGJeremy Gerber25:20

      That's what I heard.

   8. JRJoe Rogan25:20

      Stupid. I mean, stupid. It goes zero to 60 in two seconds. It flies.

   9. JGJeremy Gerber25:25

      It's nuts.

   10. JRJoe Rogan25:25

       It goes so fa- it goes so fast, it's like it's time traveling. It goes whoosh. Like, it moves into positions that no other car can do it. And somehow it does it silently, so you don't feel like a douchebag. Hmm. Like, you're like bah, bah!

   11. JGJeremy Gerber25:39

       (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan25:40

       And getting in front of something, you just go whoosh.

   13. JGJeremy Gerber25:42

       And you're gone.

   14. JRJoe Rogan25:43

       How wild is it, Jamie?

   15. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)25:44

       It's crazy. I mean, I- I barely drove it yesterday 'cause I was like, I took it in the back and was like, "Oh, my God, this is a little... Okay, hold on."

   16. JRJoe Rogan25:51

       And they-

   17. JGJeremy Gerber25:51

       It's fast.

   18. JRJoe Rogan25:52

       I think it's 1100 horsepower.

   19. JGJeremy Gerber25:54

       Holy shit.

   20. JRJoe Rogan25:54

       Is it controllable, or does it just like-

   21. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)25:56

       100%.

   22. JGJeremy Gerber25:57

       Go by itself? It's so electronically done.

   23. JRJoe Rogan25:59

       It- it, it's-

   24. JGJeremy Gerber26:00

       It's dialed.

   25. JRJoe Rogan26:00

       It's so dialed in, there's never wheel spin. I mean, when you take off, there's no wheel spin. It's all completely electronically managed. The base of the thing is all batteries, so the weight is low.

   26. JGJeremy Gerber26:12

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan26:12

       So it's got an amazing center of gravity. 1020 horsepower (laughs) .

   28. JGJeremy Gerber26:16

       Oh, back to your point.

   29. JRJoe Rogan26:17

       1.9 seconds zero to 60.

   30. JGJeremy Gerber26:19

       See?
10. 28:15 – 49:49

    Analog connection obsession: raw Porsches, Chris Harris’ perfect sports car, and car media tangents

    1. JGJeremy Gerber28:15

       Are you jamming out to any music in that, or do you just listen to the motor?

    2. JRJoe Rogan28:18

       I- I jammed out to music until I was halfway here, and I'm like, I didn't want to hear the music anymore.

    3. JGJeremy Gerber28:22

       Yeah.

    4. JRJoe Rogan28:22

       I just wanted to hear the engine. You know, there's both things. Like, I have a Porsche, a 1993 RS America. It's the rawest car I have. It's not fast at all. It only has, like, 300 horsepower. It has no power steering. It has no air conditioning. It has no radio. It has no nothing. And it weighs like, you know, w- it's like, I don't know, 2000 something pounds.

    5. JGJeremy Gerber28:43

       Fair.

    6. JRJoe Rogan28:44

       It weighs nothing. And it's so fun.

    7. JGJeremy Gerber28:48

       I'll bet.

    8. JRJoe Rogan28:48

       It's so different than any other experience. And it's not the fastest cr- it's the slowest car I have, for sure. It's not that fast. But it's every s- every mile per hour, everything, you're fucking feeling in your ass and in your hands.

    9. JGJeremy Gerber29:04

       Yeah.

    10. JRJoe Rogan29:05

        And it's this raspy air cooled... (imitating engine revving)

    11. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)29:11

        (laughs)

    12. JGJeremy Gerber29:12

        (laughs)

    13. JRJoe Rogan29:12

        You don't have to be going fast. It's just the feeling you're getting. You're on a ride. It requires all of you-

    14. JGJeremy Gerber29:19

        All of you.

    15. JRJoe Rogan29:20

        ... to- to do it. It's like a motorcycle.

    16. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)29:21

        Yeah, yeah, you're connected.

    17. JGJeremy Gerber29:21

        All of you.

    18. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)29:21

        You're making everything happen. You're the one controlling it. There's no computers. There's no traction control, that...

    19. JRJoe Rogan29:26

        You have to really-

    20. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)29:27

        Yeah.

    21. JRJoe Rogan29:27

        ... steer that bitch too, because there's no power steering. So, like, when you're parallel parking, you gotta fucking work your-

    22. JGJeremy Gerber29:34

        Like, you fucking muscle in that thing.

    23. JRJoe Rogan29:34

        You gotta work your forearms.

    24. GTGuest (one of the Roadster Shop team)29:36

        (laughs)

    25. JRJoe Rogan29:36

        It's a lot. But the feeling, the feedback you get is unprecedented. It's just like... And they say it's even more so if you get to, like, these 1970 ones. Like, when they take, when they do... Like, uh, Chris Harris did that once. He took a nine... I think this was a 1970 or '71 911T. See if you can find that video. It- it's like Chris Harris, My Perfect Sports Car. 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.

    26. JGJeremy Gerber30:22

        Dude.

    27. 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-

    28. JGJeremy Gerber30:34

        True.

    29. 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?

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

        Uh.
11. 49:49 – 1:06:59

    Work, purpose, and craft culture: building cars vs trophy-chasing show builds

    1. PGPhil Gerber49:49

       Speaking of-

    2. NANarrator49:49

       That-

    3. PGPhil Gerber49:49

       ... stage, fucking last night, dude, thank you. It was phenomenal.

    4. JRJoe Rogan49:55

       Thank you.

    5. PGPhil Gerber49:55

       What-

    6. JRJoe Rogan49:55

       Glad you guys had a good time.

    7. JGJeremy Gerber49:57

       Had a phen-

    8. PGPhil Gerber49:57

       Yeah.

    9. JGJeremy Gerber49:57

       ... phenomenal time.

    10. PGPhil Gerber49:59

        You run that place and your whole entire staff, I mean, hats off. It's like a fuck- watching an orchestra, like seriously.

    11. JRJoe Rogan50:05

        Yeah, they're all very good. Everybody's great. It's, it's a, it's a, it's a lovely little environment that we've created. It's real fun, and everybody loves it. It's like everybody's having a good time. It's, it's, it's real nice, you know.

    12. PGPhil Gerber50:16

        And you're working your fucking ass off.

    13. JGJeremy Gerber50:17

        Fuck.

    14. JRJoe Rogan50:17

        Yeah, we're doing a lot of work.

    15. JGJeremy Gerber50:19

        Dude, you-

    16. JRJoe Rogan50:19

        But it's not work.

    17. JGJeremy Gerber50:20

        (laughs)

    18. JRJoe Rogan50:20

        It's, it's talking shit.

    19. JGJeremy Gerber50:22

        Yeah.

    20. JRJoe Rogan50:22

        It's fun (laughs)

    21. JGJeremy Gerber50:23

        I mean, I was, dude, my fucking hat's off to you the way, I mean, you're busting ass there, and that's, I don't know where the fuck you get the energy from.

    22. JRJoe Rogan50:30

        Vitamins.

    23. JGJeremy Gerber50:30

        I'm 40 years old and I look at you, I'm like, "Goddam." Dude, what am I doing wrong?

    24. JRJoe Rogan50:34

        I'm used to doing it though, but I'm used to doing it.

    25. JGJeremy Gerber50:35

        (laughs)

    26. JRJoe Rogan50:35

        I do it every day, you know, it's normal.

    27. JGJeremy Gerber50:38

        Yeah.

    28. JRJoe Rogan50:38

        Yeah.

    29. PGPhil Gerber50:38

        Yeah, you're on the gas, dude.

    30. JRJoe Rogan50:39

        No, it's fun. But it's fun. It's just fun, you know, when you're doing standup, like the hard part is the writing, the writing and the creating new bits and working them out on stage. That's the, the tricky part, the hard part, but the fun part is just like having a good time and people have fun, you know. It's just having a good time, that's all... You're just making a good time.
