First 90 secondsMatt Farah· Host0:00
What's up, everybody? Welcome to The Smoking Tire Podcast. Today's episode is brought to you by Off the Record. We love Off the Record. Out there on the road, looking out for us. If I get pulled over, I know who I'm calling. It ain't my daddy, it ain't my wife, it's OTR. They are looking out for me, and if I get a ticket, big or small, they're gonna fight that ticket all the way to the top. And then I get that text message a couple of months later saying, "Your ticket has been dismissed." That's my favorite text to get. That's better than a drunk text from an ex, you know what I mean? It's a, it's a sober text from your attorney saying, "You can breathe now." OffTheRecord.com/TST. That's OffTheRecord.com/TST. If you get pulled over, don't plead guilty, get Off the Record. Guys, The Smoking Tire is giving away a 992.1 Turbo S in partnership with Dream Giveaways. We're giving away a $275,000 car with some slick choice mods. Uh, the proceeds benefit a charity, and you don't have to buy any merch. It's a straightforward entry process. So hit the link in the show notes and get entered to win today.
