What's up everyone? Welcome to the Smogentire Podcast. This is an automotive podcast about cars. I'm your host Matt Farrah.

Before we get into it, let me talk to you for a second about StockX.

And if you love watches like I love watches, you got to know about StockX. Why?

StockX is the world's first online stock market of things for high demand consumer products, including sneakers, watches and handbags.

StockX can ex buyers and sellers using the same methodology as the world's stock markets and anonymous live bid-ask market.

All products are physically authenticated by StockX, allowing participants to focus on the transparency of data available, including real-time market pricing, in-depth market analysis, individual portfolio tracking, historical sales and volume metrics.

That means no stressing about shady buyers and sellers, no lengthy descriptions and no blurry pictures to decipher. All you have to worry about is finding the watch you want, and placing a bid you feel comfortable with.

StockX makes buying and selling watches online a lot better. Trust me, give it a try yourself at stockxwatches.com. That's stockxwatches.com.

This episode is also brought to you by Beeline Coffee. I drink it every day, every morning, the smoke, as the smoking it's no.

It's the roasted tire and it's delicious. It's got actually quite a lot of caffeine in it. Notes of blackberry and raspberry. It's a medium roast. I love it. It's available in the Beeline Coffee store.

Lastly, if you're in Los Angeles this Thursday, myself, Cameron Weiss and the Watch and Listen podcast, the show we do about watches, are hosting a car watch meetup at Weiss Watch Company in Torrance, California.

I don't do a lot of meetups, but this is going to be a good one. I want to hear your stories about your cars and your watches. It's October 4th, 7-9pm at Weiss Watch Company in Torrance, RSVP, to info at WeissWatchCompany.com.

On this episode of the show, interviewing a man named Robert Siegel, he's the director of a new movie called Cruise. Cruise is a really cool flick. I checked it out. It is set against the cruising and street racing culture of Long Island and Queens in the 1980s.

I watched it with a keen car guy eye and both aesthetically and technically and in the dialogue, the car stuff is right on point. Actually, it's really, really accurate car stuff. If you grew up in the Northeast in the 80s or the 90s, this is going to be a very familiar podcast and a very familiar movie.

So the film hits close to home. It seems like we're now in this is the show now. We're now doing the show.

We can start keying interesting. Please. We can curse whatever the fuck it's all good. There's no FCC. It's brilliant. Robert Siegel, ladies and gentlemen, do you prefer Robert?

Let me just test the mic. Fuck shit. Fuck fuck shit. Coxucker, motherfucker. It works. It's good. It's good.

Robert, what do you like? Rob. All right. Rob it is. No, be in a hand. I'm to Bob. No, you're not a, I have an uncle. I have an uncle Bob. That's a Robert. I also have an uncle Richard who goes by dick, which I don't understand the voluntary.

He's very, very old. It's like in the 70s. He's not that old. No, he wears that shit like a badge, though. He wants to really wants to be dead. He wants to be. Oh, yeah. He, I think he really likes it.

Rob Siegel, hello, sir. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I watched your film last night. Cruz, you know, movie. I liked it. Nice. Even though it's like a romantic kind of movie. Oh, yeah. It is totally set against a backdrop.
