    What up, everybody? Welcome to the Smoking Tire Podcast. Today's episode is brought to you by Off The Record. We love Off The Record here, and you guys do, too, based on the number of emails you send me about Off The Record saving you from getting points on your license from a pesky little moving violation. You see, if you get points on your license, you could be at risk for insurance premium increases, possibly employment, uh, issues, if you have to have a clean driving record for your job, uh, and more. Not to mention the fines and all the other inconveniences. That's why Off The Record is here. If you get pulled over for any kind of moving violation, big or small, in any state in the US, don't plead guilty, get Off The Record. They will connect you to a qualified attorney in the jurisdiction where you got pulled over, and they will fight that ticket all the way as far as they can take it, and then, most of the time, it goes away. It's great. They get those points off your record. They have an amazing track record. Go to offtherecord.com/tst. That's offtherecord.com/tst for 10% off all legal services booked through Off The Record. One more time, that's offtherecord.com/tst. Guys, The Smoking Tire is giving away a 992.1 Turbo S. In partnership with Dream Giveaways, we are giving away a $275,000
