What up everybody? Welcome to the Smoking Tire Podcast. This episode is brought to you by Omaze and here's the deal guys.

0:08.0

This is the last week to enter our Omaze giveaway where you can win a Dream Road trip through the Pacific Northwest in a brand new 2020 C8 Corvette.

0:20.0

And guess what? I'm going on the trip. Not in the car with you. You're going to bring your homie. I'm going on the trip with Hannah.

0:26.0

We're going to be in a Lambo. You're going to be in the new Corvette C8. Here's the deal. Adventure drives, our old friend Rob Ferretti puts on these great road trips.

0:36.0

It's five star, the whole deal. It's like all the good things about doing like gum ball and bull run back in the way back in the day but without any of the annoying terrible things.

0:46.0

And we're giving you an all expenses paid trip with a Corvette from Gotham Dream Cars, the hotels, the travel, all the taxes paid and a thousand dollars for gas, which there's almost no way you're going to go through. It's a 2000 mile trip.

1:00.0

So you get some extra cash there. I'm going on it. There's going to be like 12 to 14 cars. I think the hotels are going to be dope. The roads are going to be dope.

1:08.0

And when you enter all the donations go to team Rubicon, which is a really, really neat charity. I cannot recommend reading up on them enough. They do some really cool work.

1:20.0

I only got 60 seconds. So let me tell you how to do it. And you can read about the charity elsewhere. Go to omaze.com slash the smoking tire. That's omaze.com slash the smoking tire.

1:32.0

Donate and I wish you good luck with your entry. And I'll see you in the Pacific Northwest. Also, I'm going to use this other ad space here to remind everybody how the Super Chat features work. We put up the live show earlier in the day. If you're subscribed to us on YouTube, which you should be, you get a notification that that live show is happening. You can go into the Super Chat and ask for a new app.

2:00.0

You can go into the Super Chat and ask your questions before the show starts. So you're not limited to just doing it while the show is on. And a lot of people ask me how they can get in the Super Chat when they don't catch the live show. If you catch the posting of the live event earlier, you can do it.

2:21.0

All right, folks, on this episode, we have to wave goodbye, at least temporarily to our friend Vinny Russo, who's been a member of the crew. Well, he is wasn't will be a member of the crew infinitely, but he's been a member of the LA crew for the last 18 months. He's been out here for reasons that are not important to the show. He has to move to Houston for a while to for work reasons.

2:46.0

And that means we're not going to be graced with his presence in studio for a little bit. So on this episode, the crew show is where we wave goodbye to Vinny Russo on the Smoking Tire podcast.

2:58.2

What up, everybody?

2:59.6

Yes, some other fucking smoking tire podcast.

3:02.7

Sons, Lieberman, my apologize, apologies for the last minute change and the lack of guest this week has been fucking kind of crazy.

3:15.4

I had multiple last minute projects come up that because because of the Hollywood hustle and because of you have to get that money when it's there, especially in these tough times, I had to take those gigs and do those gigs and I'm happy they existed.

3:31.3

Johnny Lieberman found himself in a similar situation in which he had to do with last minute photo shoot with a car, presumably for money.

3:40.7

And I can't hate on that. He ain't being paid to be here. And so we can make time for him another time, but we couldn't make time for fucking Vinny Russo.

3:51.7

Of course. Can't let you guys do a podcast by yourself. Well, you're about to know.

3:58.1

Vinny has to go to Texas on extended business trip. I do.

4:02.7

And that means he won't be here.
