0:00.0	What's up, everybody? Welcome to the Smoking Tire podcast. It's a big week here on the podcast, and off the record is still with us.
0:11.2	Of course, if you want to use off the record. We have a new code for this year, TST 25 on the off the record app.
0:18.6	Throw away your old codes or go to off the record.com slash TST.
0:24.9	Why should you do such things?
0:26.7	Well, let's say you get a ticket.
0:28.8	You've been pulled over for something and are ticketed.
0:31.9	Don't argue with that police officer on the side of the road.
0:35.8	Instead, take that ticket and call or go on the app to
0:40.5	Off the Record, and then they help fight that ticket, and most of the time, in most of the cases,

1:31.4	He is an author.
1:32.9	His book, Ludacris, is a must read on the smoking tire reading list.
1:37.3	He is a podcaster, co-host of the Autonicast, which is about AV development with our good
1:43.7	friend Alex Roy. He is a writer for automotive news
1:47.5	and a freelancer for a whole bunch of other things. And he is probably the most poignant Elon Musk
1:54.5	critic since before it was cool. I love talking to him and man, there's no being, never been a better time
2:01.8	to talk crap about Elon Musk. So it's 90 minutes of that with Ed Niedermeyer on the
2:08.1	smoking tire. It's so hard to know what the right thing to do in these situation is. I actually
