Music We are live. Hello, what's up, how you doing, man? Tony, how's you doing? Great. Tony Kiroga from car and driver. I don't know what accent that is. What's up? How much? Good to see you, sir. Good to see you. We're missing Zach today. He's on a flight to Colorado. But hello and welcome to the Smoking Tire podcast. The cycle through intro voices until I find one that actually sticks. So far I haven't. That sounds good. Well, all the other guys, they have like a tagline. Mark Maren's got his little what the fuckers, you know, what the fuck buddies thing. Adam Carolla's got his got to get it on, you know, thing.

1:12.2

You don't have a thing. You need a thing. We just start yelling and then there's a pedophilia joke. You know what it is? That's our thing. And you're in. That's our thing is we say something awful within the first two minutes. Right. So after you need to do it like a law and order. So like after the first, you know, someone drops the pedophilia bomb and it's,

1:10.2

1:28.8

dun dun dun dun dun dun.

1:30.4

And then the show can start.

1:31.8

I'm actually waiting to get pulled over in a one take just so I can go into a law and order riff.

1:40.0

Like, I really fucking want to do it.

1:43.7

That's never happened? I've never been pulled over on one take. Oh, wow. That's awesome. No, because, you know, I mean, you know as well as anybody that when you do the job that we do, you know the places and times to speed. True. And you're, we're not there on Saturday after. I'm not canyon carving carving at Saturday. Oh, hell no. You're doing it in the middle of the week. No, we're on a Tuesday up there. And I don't want to, I'm not going to spoil it by saying who, what, where, or why. But you've gotten to do closed road stuff before, right? No, we don't do that. Oh my God. We got to do something. Yeah, the motor train guys do that.

2:01.4

2:17.9

We got to do something. Yeah, the Motor Trend guys do that. They do it. They got money, right? We got to do it for NBC Sports because it's in the budget this year, which is great. And I won't say what road, but it was awesome. That's a relief. It was like better than you can imagine it because it's not just that the road is closed.

2:18.7

There's a cop... it was awesome. That's really, it was, it was like better than you can imagine it.

2:34.6

2:31.0

Right.

2:31.1

You know what I mean?

2:32.0

And where the fuck was I going with that?

2:33.8

What were we talking about?

2:35.3

Getting arrested. Oh, yeah. No, we know the places to speed. I want to, you know, and where it's reasonably safe to do it. You know, and one key to speeding is not to run into a cop or, you know, and looking way ahead and all that kind of stuff and knowing
