Our patrons really brought some good questions. And enjoy. It's me and my wife, and this is what it's like to be in our house. But it's on the Smoking Tire podcast.
Hannah Farah
Do you just wish Paul was here right now?
Matt Farah
Corporate America. Okay. Hi, everybody.
Hannah Farah
Let's talk about that. You said drat about Paul not being here.
Matt Farah
Yeah, I am.
Hannah Farah
Dret. My wife.
Matt Farah
Oh, please. I am legitimately. Did you see how many, like, I did? I thought hard about Paul not like being here.
Hannah Farah
What?
Matt Farah
No, no, I thought.
Hannah Farah
I. I know, but you thought about Paul being here after I had said I would do this with you. And then you're all, thanks.
Matt Farah
Oh, this.
Hannah Farah
Let me tap, tap, tap, tap and get Paul.
Matt Farah
We're just gonna dive bomb into the.
Hannah Farah
Oh, well, yeah, let's just start with that. So reluctantly, here I am.
Matt Farah
Oh, shit. Here we go. Here we go. All right.
Hannah Farah
It's fine. It's totally fine. Nothing's wrong.
Matt Farah
I mean, look, people. People are saying that Paul Zuckerman was gonna be an amazing guest on the show.
Hannah Farah
Paul Zuckerman, of course, would be an amazing guest on the show. It was more the statement that my husband likes him more than me as.
Matt Farah
A fucking radio guest. The radio guest.
Hannah Farah
I know, but let's remember, you spent.
Matt Farah
The whole time potentially as a car collector, and Also, potentially as an interior decorator and also if I was collecting.
Hannah Farah
I don't think you should continue on.
Matt Farah
With this huge Harley Davidson Hell's Angels memorabilia. I'd probably go with Zuckerman on everything else in the world.
Hannah Farah
Yes. Great taste in wallpaper.
Matt Farah
I go with my wife, Panifera, who it's apparently all like, roast me today.
Hannah Farah
It's not true. It's not true.
Matt Farah
Well, are we. Are we good there?
Hannah Farah
I think we're good. Yeah.
Matt Farah
We're here now. We can do radio.
Hannah Farah
Let's begin.
Matt Farah
Oh, boy. We have many. I mean, I didn't. The best part about this was, like, I actually didn't have to think of anything to talk about. Even though I have some framing that.
Hannah Farah
We should start after you got over the disappointment of having to be on.
Matt Farah
The show after I drowned myself sorrows. The last time we did this, which was like three years ago, was a little wine drunky.
Hannah Farah
Also me and you.
Matt Farah
Yeah, yeah. Both of us were wine drunky.
Hannah Farah
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Matt Farah
We did it with like a webcam in the upstairs office.
Hannah Farah
I'm in the worst lighting. It looked like we were both interrogated. Being interrogated by the police.
Matt Farah
Well, lighting like that is why we had Jay Ryan make it nice up here.
Hannah Farah
Right?
Matt Farah
Whirly gig, we have so many questions about our marriage from the Patreon, which I have let you preview. People are so nice.
Hannah Farah
People are lovely. First of all, I really want to commend the patrons names.
Matt Farah
Oh, the usernames.
Hannah Farah
Usernames, yeah, yeah, yeah. And what's funny about that to me is it seems, looking at these, that, like, if they're patrons of three different podcasts, they could have three different usernames.
Matt Farah
Because not only that, they can change their usernames frequently. So sometimes there's people that might have been.
Hannah Farah
How come no one has changed her username to Hannah?
Matt Farah
Just out of curiosity, I think, like, you know, like the mob, like, families are off limits, you know, I don't. I don't think. I don't think you're supposed to. To hit like that, you know, Fair.
Hannah Farah
Yeah.
Matt Farah
Like, if you on this podcast, like.
Hannah Farah
What if I was one of your patrons?
Matt Farah
Well, what if you drop like a bomb? I was on the slide. So, like for the last, like two and a half years, you've been like sliding 10amonth back to me pro driver.
Hannah Farah
Level and was saving it up until this.
Matt Farah
And are you. And wait, let me. Should I guess whose username I think you're commenting is? I think it's Mike. Who? Cheese Harry is That you.
Hannah Farah
Absolutely not.
Matt Farah
No. Okay. Shit. I don't know. Everyone does. Some real good ones anyway.
Hannah Farah
They're very good ones. And what I thought was very sweet in previewing the questions was they weren't all questions about you. Some of them were just questions about me, which was so nice. Cause my whole life is people asking me questions about you.
Matt Farah
Oh, I'm so sorry. Except some notable people who are very. Who were very nice to you.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. That famous volleyball player told me I had a nice sweater.
Matt Farah
Gabby Reese.
Hannah Farah
Yes.
Matt Farah
Yeah. And then she started talking about eating deer and how delicious was.
Hannah Farah
Oh, I don't remember that.
Matt Farah
Yeah. Because they're, like, overwhelming.
Hannah Farah
I was flying so high on the compliment on my sweater.
Matt Farah
Yeah. She was legend of the 90s. And her husband, Laird Hamilton was like. And then I invented kite dive bombing.
Hannah Farah
He was like, I invented the ocean. Then I invented fish.
Matt Farah
We say that with love.
Hannah Farah
He's a G, 100%. But it was pretty spectacular. The list of things that man invented.
Matt Farah
And then I found myself 80 miles offshore on a jet ski with no gas. Like, wow. Okay, Stop moving, Han. I set the cameras for a certain thing.
Hannah Farah
Well, I thought, my name is.
Matt Farah
You're just making yourself look shorter.
Hannah Farah
I know. And I wore horizontal stripes. I'm, like, very concerned about the whole thing.
Matt Farah
Yeah.
Hannah Farah
Just, you know, I brought a backup sweater.
Matt Farah
Just don't read the YouTube comments. The patrons and the YouTube comments as well, you know.
Hannah Farah
Oh, I know. Yeah.
Matt Farah
Not the same.
Hannah Farah
But my favorite YouTube comment of all time is when, like, multiple people said that Zach and I look alike. That was, like, my favorite day.
Matt Farah
That's maybe in that angle from our. From. Maybe if I. If I fucking like Freddy Krueger light you. That's possible. But I gotta say, I spend a lot of time with you both. And I don't see it.
Hannah Farah
I mean, but maybe you have a type.
Matt Farah
Maybe I don't wanna see it.
Hannah Farah
You have a type.
Matt Farah
I have a type. That's fucking crazy. Oh, wow. It got weird in the first 10.
Hannah Farah
Do you need me to get taller?
Matt Farah
Huh?
Hannah Farah
Do you need me to get taller?
Matt Farah
No, no, you're fine. Okay. Okay. So we got a lot of nice notes about your performance in the Taycan video and your comments about the car. And people asked me. They never really got to hear your thoughts on driving and how you like driving the Bentley. So now that it's gone and we lost a lot less money than we. I thought we were gonna.
Hannah Farah
And we were bracing ourselves.
Matt Farah
Right?
Hannah Farah
Yeah.
Matt Farah
We lost very little money, actually. Quite cheap. To drive the Bentley. And then the guy drove it. Fucking the guy drove it, picked it up in San Diego at Cars and Bids and then drove it with his mother back to Seattle.
Hannah Farah
Oh my God, that's so sweet.
Matt Farah
And sent me some lovely pictures which I'll have to post on Instagram. I forgot.
Hannah Farah
Did his mother get to ride in the backseat while he was in the front like my parents did when I drove them around in it?
Matt Farah
It was a brief conversation. I didn't ask the seating arrangements.
Hannah Farah
This is why I should talk.
Matt Farah
But what do you think? Huh?
Hannah Farah
Nothing.
Matt Farah
Well, listen, you were six months from being my assistant, so I mean. Yeah. Anyway, let's hear your thoughts on the Bentley Turbo R. Sure.
Hannah Farah
I was actually thinking about this today. I mean, I loved this car. I loved the story of how we got it. I loved the story of it continuing to live on on our street. I love that it was our daily driver. But I think in total it was a stressful car to drive.
Matt Farah
In what way?
Hannah Farah
A little bit in its size. I think being low and wide, you know, like high and wide, you're kind of very aware. But pulling into parking spots in that was really something I did not enjoy doing.
Matt Farah
It's got a real long hood and.
Hannah Farah
Well, and also because you're always giving me crap for not pulling into spots far enough.
Matt Farah
Well, yeah, no, you don't get close enough to anything in front ever. Yes, even in hilariously, the Delica.
Hannah Farah
Well, the delica because I was swapping out with things like Long nose Bentley.
Matt Farah
The Delica, you stop like 12ft from the car in front of you and the front of the car is like your literal knees. I watched you do a couple 30 inch box jumps today right in front of me. Like you clearly know that distance and yet you need an extra car in front with a fucking cab over Japanese van. It's weird, your selective ass depth perception.
Hannah Farah
Yeah, it comes and goes like the hot water in our house.
Matt Farah
Yes, mid mod.
Hannah Farah
But pulling into things. And also it had those very small side mirrors. And I think if we were keeping that car longer term, I would have said, listen, we gotta add on some elephant ear mirrors.
Matt Farah
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know when we'd appreciate those side mirrors? That is one of those. If we were in England, like, you know, they didn't do like a global development program of the Turbo R, they like drove it around fucking Coventry. You know, just like every car from the 1950s and 60s was designed by people in blue suits that never left Detroit or drove around anything but a 90 degree corner. And that's why all their cars are shit boxes just like that. But like the other way around, they drove around England. So they have these tiny little mirrors. Cause these hedges are all. Seriously, you have to drive through these mad, tiny little hedges. And so having little mirrors makes sense here in the half desert where it makes no sense. And, yeah, so the side visibility sucks.
Hannah Farah
And I think the side visibility made me really, like, I looked by mirrors, you know, even changing lanes, like, check your mirrors, swivel your whole body, come back, check your mirror again. And then like, quick prayer to some driving test today.
Matt Farah
You'd be like, that's like someone in a car, you know, someone rolling a Tesla as their first car would like, fail a driving test. Five years later, you would pass a driving test.
Hannah Farah
One of my favorite things that ever happened at WCCS was when the guys, two of the guys, one day I was taking one of the cars out, and I had hand over the backseat or hand over the seat to reverse. And they were like, what the fuck are you doing? And they were like, you know you have cameras. And I was like, huh? Like, yeah, but I'm old.
Matt Farah
Not in that car. Yeah, that car, you know, it is like that.
Hannah Farah
That's true. Yeah. But ultimately, I mean, I loved it, but I saw one of the Patreon questions was around, like, I think it was, what was the best interaction I had in the Bentley.
Matt Farah
I'll find it if I can. Guys, we got to take a quick break today for Delete Me. They are bringing that heat, making it easy, quick, and safe to remove your personal data online at a time when surveillance and data breaches are common enough to make everyone vulnerable. I've now been with DeleteMe for a couple of months, and, man, they get it done. They work in the background. You don't hear from them but for once a month. But they are always going. They're doing the hard work of wiping my and my family's personal information from data broker websites. They know my privacy is worth protecting, and they offer an ongoing, not one time, but ongoing service to help stop those robocalls, reduce the spam emails, and protect my privacy. And I have in my hand, I printed it out. It comes digitally, but I printed it out. It's my fourth report, my privacy protection program. It's got a summary and the COVID letter from my privacy advisor telling me my status. And In March of 2025, Delete Me found and reviewed 2,626 listings. 12 of my listings were removed. 10 data brokers had my personal info. 89 instances of personal info Foundation. They did a lot of searching and they sent me a very, very detailed report from the data broker websites where they found different bits of my information, past addresses and friend connections and things like that. It's pretty good. And then they show you what they've deleted. I like it very much. And you can get 20% off your delete me plan. When you go to join delete me and use promo code tire at checkout. The only way to get 20% off is to go to JoinDeleteMe.com Tire and then enter code Tire at checkout. That's JoinDeleteMe.com Tire CodeTire. And now back to the show.
Hannah Farah
And what was interesting to me about that question was, is I had. I mean, this is all coming back to the patriarchy, my favorite subject. But I had almost no interactions in the Bentley.
Matt Farah
Shout out to Jack Cuzano, patron. Who asked that?
Hannah Farah
And that's not me as the patron. That's not my alter ego patron name.
Matt Farah
Yeah. Send in all the questions you wanted. So, you know, episode. The Jerry episode airs Next. This is 998.
Hannah Farah
I know, I'm the fill in. Go on.
Matt Farah
Yeah, but there's a couple. Jerry fucking like, destroyed me a couple of times and. Oh, shit, I forgot. Why did I. How did you get me in there? That I just like my patron alter.
Hannah Farah
Ego planting questions about the Bentley.
Matt Farah
Oh, yeah.
Hannah Farah
Planting questions so I could talk about the patrons.
Matt Farah
Planting questions. Yeah, yeah. A couple times. He was like, you know, if I was asking me. So guys, when you're listening to the next episode, look out for what Jerry's like, you know, if I was asking me. And. And there's a couple just. There's two or three times in the 90 minutes with him where my soul is decimated.
Hannah Farah
Well, I don't like to hear that.
Matt Farah
No, no. But like, I'm certain it was done out of love and respect and him being just a tough comedian who's just. He's throwing shit because that's what he does for fun. And when we left and got back in the car, Zach was like, he really likes you. And I was like, I don't know, man. I think my fucking. I think my soul just left my body. And he was like, no, no, no, no. And he's been emailing me some stuff, like, unrelated things. We chatted about. What do you call adolescence, which, you know, go watch that shit. But anyway, part of it was the. I want everybody to listen for when he goes. I would ask myself this question. It's just like the Indicator of, like, what you're asking me is not good enough.
Hannah Farah
But I would just like to point out.
Matt Farah
Yeah.
Hannah Farah
He decimated your soul as a sign of affection. When we first started dating, and I would pinch you with my toes. That was the point. Physically hurt of affection.
Matt Farah
You drew blood once.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. And the more blood, the more love. That's the rule, isn't it? Isn't that helpful?
Matt Farah
The more blood, the higher the felony count is actually someone today I was on someone else's podcast, and they. I don't think they had started recording, and they, as someone, as a joke, was talking about. Oh, they learned about using Zoom because their kids were, like, doing Zoom classes and whatever. And they were, like, in high school, and they were like. And all the guys in the high school were, like, showing their asses on Zoom. I was like. And how funny it was. And I was like, I think that's a good crime. I'm not sure, but it sounds.
Hannah Farah
We watch a lot of svu.
Matt Farah
Yeah.
Hannah Farah
And I mean, yes, it could, you know, technically, but then who's responsible?
Matt Farah
Nobody's prosecuting these crimes.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. Okay. Anyway. But back to the patriarchy. I had no interactions in the Bentley, but anytime Matt drove this car, people would, like, fling themselves in front of it to stop and tell us how cool the car was, how great he looked in the car. He was, though, so right for the car.
Matt Farah
Are you sure that you.
Hannah Farah
Every stoplight.
Matt Farah
You sure you didn't, like, have a couple and block them out? Were you looking for them? Are you looking.
Hannah Farah
Oh, my God. This is gonna be the whole, like, I don't see any signs of my dead brother. And everyone tells me I don't look hard enough. I was asking for it. No, but I thought it was very interesting. It was a real man. I looked like I stole my grandmother's car to do errands. And Matt looked like a gentleman who has fine taste.
Matt Farah
True. You could see the Bentley intent on my face, whereas you can't. Yeah. Yeah. But we did get some love together. Like, you witnessed it when we were in Vegas and some other times.
Hannah Farah
Well, my favorite. I don't know if it happened in the Bentley, but my favorite time we ever get car interactions is when I'm Dr. And you're the passenger, and we get out, and then someone starts talking to you about, how do you like the way that car drives? Oh, that's also fabulous.
Matt Farah
Guys don't do that. If you're gonna ask someone how the car drives, it should be the person driving the car. I'm just Saying even if the passenger is me.
Hannah Farah
But those weren't people who recognized you anyway.
Matt Farah
Oh, really? Oh, you mean like strangers?
Hannah Farah
Yeah.
Matt Farah
Oh. Oh, yeah.
Hannah Farah
That has happened a couple times outside John and Vinny's. It happened. Not that I remember every fucking specific time, but an itemized list of things. Yeah. Someone else on the Patreon asked about lists. That's definitely one of them. But to answer their question proactively, one.
Matt Farah
Written in pen and one written in lipstick.
Hannah Farah
No, remember, my favorite list that I.
Matt Farah
Had was one is on a Mirror.
Hannah Farah
Was the one that was my book of things to remember to be angry about. When I could write down small slights that I wanted to be sure to never forget.
Matt Farah
How is that not a fucking notepad sold in a chat store?
Hannah Farah
I don't know. I go into a lot of stuff stores. I've never seen one. I had to make a little post at you.
Matt Farah
Let's go, dude. Let's go. We could fucking whip that thing up tonight before this gets to. Before this airs.
Hannah Farah
I could get another Patreon account with all the winnings. Anyway. What else? Give me something else. What other question should we talk about?
Matt Farah
Okay, so the Bentley.
Hannah Farah
Bentley. Loved it. Stressful.
Matt Farah
Here's the real question. It's now been gone for two months. Have you thought about it or missed it in that time?
Hannah Farah
I've definitely thought about it, but I went. You know, I really was driving the Delica a lot in that time. And really, I mean, I just love the Delica so much. It was nice to have one less car in rotation for the moment.
Matt Farah
Yeah. Yeah. Once you realize you have too many cars and it starts to feel like work to drive them. You got a minus one.
Hannah Farah
Yeah.
Matt Farah
I think it was a really fun year.
Hannah Farah
It was great.
Matt Farah
I enjoyed it while we had it, and I'm glad we weren't. We didn't get kicked in the ass financially. That's very nice. So the other thing is, I'm gonna. You know, the 1000 Sunday. You're gonna be around for that? Obviously. Obviously.
Hannah Farah
Depending on how well I do today.
Matt Farah
Somebody has to serve the sandwich.
Hannah Farah
I was just gonna say somebody's gotta answer the door.
Matt Farah
No, Hannah will be. Hannah will be doing eight hours of radio. And actually, we're not gonna let her leave. She's just gonna be here the whole time until she turns slowly insane. It's gonna be like a. It's gonna be like a CIA experiment. Great. And we're gonna put drugs in something.
Hannah Farah
Okay. What were you saying? Went on too long.
Matt Farah
We got a lot of People coming through. And I wanted to, like, weave a consistent thread. So I thought of, like, a quick five question survey for everybody.
Hannah Farah
To answer on the spot or beforehand?
Matt Farah
No, no, to answer on the spot.
Hannah Farah
Cause you know, I write surveys for a living.
Matt Farah
Yes, I do.
Hannah Farah
Yes, but go on.
Matt Farah
That's why I'm asking you.
Hannah Farah
Okay, well, let's talk about it. It's happening here. That's what I'm asking.
Matt Farah
I want to talk to you about it.
Hannah Farah
Like, you want to ask me those questions or you want to ask.
Matt Farah
Yeah, I ask you those questions, and then you can tell me if they're good questions.
Hannah Farah
Right, but you don't care about my answers to them.
Matt Farah
No, I care. I know most of your answers, but I care about them hearing about them again, even if I know them. And there's 100,000 or so people that would also like to hear some of your answers. I think that's the point of us having this conversation with microphones and not at dinner.
Hannah Farah
Well, I mean, if Paul were here, but go on. What are they?
Matt Farah
If you make my soul die more than Jerry's I felt in 90 minutes, I think then you're a good spouse. Okay, question number one. You know, we did our first episode in 2012. What were you doing at the end of 2012 versus what are you doing today? Okay, so that's question number one. Do you want to answer that question?
Hannah Farah
I think that's a good question, but.
Matt Farah
I mean, it's a good question for a lot of our guests who are roughly our age and have similar sort of career tracks to us. So if they look back 12 or 13 years ago, they were probably doing a much smaller version of what they were.
Hannah Farah
Wait, well, that was what I was gonna say is like, have you done a quick test of that for some people who are gonna be like, oh, I was a magician working in an aquarium during the day. There might be some. But now I am a famous car person.
Matt Farah
I mean, there might be some of that. It's possible. A couple of the people that are coming are on the younger side. So 2012 would be, like, a real long time ago. Like, Sam is coming. Remember him? British Sam? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's coming. Oh, he might be coming over for dinner tomorrow night. I forgot that after. Yeah, he's in town.
Hannah Farah
Oh, totally fine, I think, huh?
Matt Farah
Oh, whatever. Might be. But, you know, he's young. So anyway, so that's a good one. Do you want to. Do you want to share your answer?
Hannah Farah
I mean, I don't think my answer's that interesting. I was working. I was employed. I guess that's a big difference.
Matt Farah
You're employed now?
Hannah Farah
I was working at Mattel doing toy stuff.
Matt Farah
You're engaged. To be employed is more tough.
Hannah Farah
What's the next question?
Matt Farah
What's the best car purchase that you've ever made?
Hannah Farah
Mm, good question. Yeah, but you gotta really. I mean, I think you should have a timer. Like one of those Speed Scrabble timers.
Matt Farah
Oh, that's cool.
Hannah Farah
And no one can take more than 30 seconds to answer these questions because this could be a real exhausting exercise. I'll happily fucking.
Matt Farah
No. We have one in the garage we.
Hannah Farah
Never use from the gym, from our boxing days.
Matt Farah
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We could make that one.
Hannah Farah
I prefer a Speed Scrabble one, but what if.
Matt Farah
Do we have a Speed Scrabble one?
Hannah Farah
No, I didn't. I never had one for myself, just at the tournaments. But it was really fun to slap it.
Matt Farah
Is it different from a Speed Chess one?
Hannah Farah
I don't think so.
Matt Farah
Huh. Yeah, I know. Bang it. Banging is nice. We can make that by Sunday. We can't make that happen by Sunday. Oh, supply chain and then, you know, inverse worst car purchase.
Hannah Farah
Yeah, right.
Matt Farah
Do you want to answer your best and your worst? Guys, support for the smoking tire comes from the podcast Drive with Jim Farley. You know Jim Farley. He's the CEO of Ford. Not only that, this guy has a GT40 and a Cobra and all kinds of amazing vintage American medal that he races wheel to wheel at places like Goodwood. He's a boss. And you gotta check out this show. It's where Jim talks to some of his favorite people about what they drive and what drives them to succeed. They just started season three with some sick new guests, including Vicki Butler Henderson, the British racing driver and fifth gear personality Randy Nonenberg from Bring a Trailer and T Pain, the musician turned drifter. The guy's got skills, actually, I listened to it the other day. It is great. Jim is a great interviewer. He's insightful and it's interesting hearing these folks open up to him. I really am about it. I support Jim's venture here. To listen to Drive with Jim Farley. Just search Drive With Jim Farley in any podcast app. That's Drive with Jim Farley. And thank you for supporting this episode.
Hannah Farah
I mean, my best was.
Matt Farah
You can include ones that might have been gifts.
Hannah Farah
The Jeep.
Matt Farah
The Jeep, yeah. And which type of.
Hannah Farah
Also my worst, though, that's gonna be a. It's a trick question.
Matt Farah
Was this CJ?
Hannah Farah
No, my dad had a CJ7. Mine was the Grand Wagoneer.
Matt Farah
Oh, the Wagoneer, right.
Hannah Farah
Yeah.
Matt Farah
Was it grand or just Wagoneer?
Hannah Farah
My parents had a Grand Wagoneer. I just had a Wagoneer.
Matt Farah
Yeah, no, wood paneling.
Hannah Farah
Yeah, yeah. No, mine getting so many of them.
Matt Farah
I thought I saw the photo and it was just red.
Hannah Farah
No, that was my dad's. My parents had two. My mom's was green with wood paneling. My dad's was red. Mine did have wood paneling. But anyway, that car also only got 12 miles to a gallon, and I was in college.
Matt Farah
That's a good day.
Hannah Farah
Yeah.
Matt Farah
Musto has one today and gets like six.
Hannah Farah
I know, but hubba huva. Okay, next question.
Matt Farah
Okay. Best and worst Wagoneer. Yeah. Yeah. Best road trip you've taken?
Hannah Farah
I don't think you should ask that question.
Matt Farah
No? Why?
Hannah Farah
I think it allows for a lot of meandering. And I understand you've got a lot of time to fill on this.
Matt Farah
Not if we have a speed clock.
Hannah Farah
That is very true. Yeah, actually, I guess true.
Matt Farah
I like it as a lightning round. I mean, I like a 30 seconds for each answer. 30 seconds in radio is a lot, actually.
Hannah Farah
What if it's. How many of these questions can you answer in 30 seconds? And we expand the list by quite a bit. Anyway, we can talk about that later.
Matt Farah
Oh, you do. Like one.
Hannah Farah
We'll talk about that while we're in bed tonight. Yeah, and then you could throw, like, what's your food allergy in there? Like, give some zingers. Anyway, it'll be our pillow talk tonight.
Matt Farah
All right, number five. You have 10 million, but you have to spend it on cars and you have to spend it today.
Hannah Farah
It's too much money. People are gonna have multiple cars. It'll be a thing.
Matt Farah
All right, well, I guess we'll have to make it better then.
Hannah Farah
I think you should test this with someone more relevant, though.
Matt Farah
Well, maybe I should.
Hannah Farah
You're talking to someone who gets bored at these answers.
Matt Farah
Part of the audience, a small part, probably all the patrons are like. They're like. You're gonna put a timer on the answers of the Brian Scotto's best car purchase ever. Just losing their minds. We're doing. You have to understand. I'm sorry, I'm not even understand. But you do. Eight hours.
Hannah Farah
I know. That's why I said you have a lot of time to film.
Matt Farah
Oh, sorry. This is gonna be the move.
Hannah Farah
It's gonna be this, right? True. Okay, fine. Maybe it's a minimum time and everyone has to take five minutes to answer each question.
Matt Farah
It's an egg timer. You must talk until the fuck.
Hannah Farah
And then we get, like, a little, like, electric prodder or something. If they stop talking.
Matt Farah
Yeah. Yeah.
Hannah Farah
Okay.
Matt Farah
You still think the same way about the questions?
Hannah Farah
I think we should move on from this discussion.
Matt Farah
All right, cool.
Hannah Farah
All right. I think I'm gonna ask you some questions now.
Matt Farah
Okay.
Hannah Farah
Okay.
Matt Farah
Let's go.
Hannah Farah
Matt Farup. When you bring a new car home or when we're in any car. You. Okay.
Matt Farah
Yeah. No, the shot of you was, like, looking too much at my computer screen. I didn't like that.
Hannah Farah
Go on.
Matt Farah
I'm sorry.
Hannah Farah
Okay. When you bring a new car home or when we're in any car, what do I look at first? What do I assess first in a car?
Matt Farah
I mean, the thing that usually annoys you first is if the controls for the radio are not logical.
Hannah Farah
100%. Yes.
Matt Farah
Yeah. Yeah. Is that a test of do I know you, or are you good at talking about cars?
Hannah Farah
No, no, no, no.
Matt Farah
Okay.
Hannah Farah
I'm not gonna pretend I can come here and talk about cars. This is fully do you know me? And are we gonna fight?
Matt Farah
Okay.
Hannah Farah
Okay, next question.
Matt Farah
I was there for you, by the way. Remember that?
Hannah Farah
Of all the cars that you've owned, which one did I like the least in our time together?
Matt Farah
Oh, the Mustang. Because it leaked fuel on your clothes?
Hannah Farah
No, no, that was that one specific day. And then I had the baby bear sighting with that cut on my leg. But it was a pretty good guess.
Matt Farah
That's a fair guess, right?
Hannah Farah
No, but I liked that car. It was a fair guess. Yes, it did soak my clothing that I had to wear into the forest.
Matt Farah
You thought the M3 was the stupidest.
Hannah Farah
Which one was the M3?
Matt Farah
The silver one? No, I'm guessing it's not that, since you clearly.
Hannah Farah
Is that the one with the white seats?
Matt Farah
Oh, we've never owned a car with white seats.
Hannah Farah
Oh, yes, you did. And I fucking liked it the least.
Matt Farah
I owned a car with white seats.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. The most precious car in the world that we couldn't even drive and I couldn't wear the same pants in it because it might.
Matt Farah
You're talking about the M3. And the seats are fucking red. No, the seats were red.
Hannah Farah
No.
Matt Farah
What car are you talking about?
Hannah Farah
I don't know. Maybe I'm making this up.
Matt Farah
I'm calling. Call. Call. What car are you.
Hannah Farah
What car are you fucking talking about? Talking about the BMW with the white seats.
Matt Farah
They were red.
Hannah Farah
Pull it up.
Matt Farah
They were fucking red. I'm not pulling it up. They were red. You have to trust me.
Hannah Farah
Why were you so crazy about it then?
Matt Farah
Because they were perfect. And it wasn't about a dye transfer like happens in all the white seats. That wasn't what I was worried about.
Hannah Farah
Maybe it's because the car you have now has white seats.
Matt Farah
I'm thinking that, yeah, the Maybach has white seats and it has, like 3,000 miles on it, and they're die transferred. That's not what I was worried about. On that particular BMW, the mileage was so low that the leather. When BMWs are brand new.
Hannah Farah
I'm so bored of this.
Matt Farah
Go on, give me 10 seconds and I'll be done. The leather has a crinkle finish on it that wears off very quickly.
Hannah Farah
What is a crinkle finish?
Matt Farah
It's like a texture to the leather that makes it feel like leather versus, like, shiny, worn in leather. You know how, like, steering wheels get shiny over time? Right, the seats and all the other leather that happens to that also in these BMWs. This one was so mint, I didn't want to literally cause friction on it to wear the wrinkles out because there was so much value in them being there. But it wasn't white.
Hannah Farah
Okay? It wasn't white. You might be right on that.
Matt Farah
Yeah. So I'm just saying, as a how well do I know you? Question, I would say this one requires further research at Pillow Talk later.
Hannah Farah
That'll be morning. Pillow Talk. All right, fine. Okay. If you were a billionaire.
Matt Farah
Yes.
Hannah Farah
If you were a billionaire, you'd never.
Matt Farah
See either of us again. We'd be fucking out of here.
Hannah Farah
Go on, out of here. Like, together. Or you would dump me in the ocean.
Matt Farah
No, you, the audience would never see Matt or Hannah. We'd be gone.
Hannah Farah
Okay, got it.
Matt Farah
We wouldn't need to talk anymore.
Hannah Farah
Okay, fine. Before we disappeared. Yeah, yeah, got it. If you were a billionaire, what would you do to help other drivers?
Matt Farah
Oh, well, that's a nice. That's a nice thought.
Hannah Farah
I mean, I already know the answer, so I'm just curious if you know the answer. All my questions have answers.
Matt Farah
What would I do to help other drivers if I was a billionaire? And there's supposed to be a right answer to this?
Hannah Farah
Well, I mean, you have very specifically said this sentence before. Not once. Multiple times. A public service you would do for other drivers. Know thyself, Matt Farah. All right, I'll give you a hint.
Matt Farah
I'm stumped. I'm stumped.
Hannah Farah
No, I'll give you a hint, because you can't have this dead time on the radio.
Matt Farah
Thank You. Do you want to be my producer? Yes.
Hannah Farah
Go. Okay. You would invest in billboards.
Matt Farah
Oh, like. Oh. Left lanes, like, move out, move right.
Hannah Farah
Absolutely not. No. Jesus. Louise's.
Matt Farah
Oh, boy. What is the correct answer?
Hannah Farah
You would put up billboards warning people of dairy farms ahead so that they could roll up their windows and start air recirculation in the car multiple times.
Matt Farah
I would do that. You know I would do that. And I haven't thought about it in so long because now I avoid the 5 freeway entirely. Such a problem. I don't even go there anymore. But that is a thing I would do. I haven't thought about it in a very long time. But you are right, and that's smart. And when I run for president or governor of California.
Hannah Farah
You're right.
Matt Farah
I am governor of California. I think if you build a dairy farm upwind of a highway, you should be required. I shouldn't have to do it. You should have to put a billboard up being like, hey, O, fucking hit that research. Because in one mile, it's about to get dirty. But you're right. You're right. I did not know thyself myself in that particular instance. Yeah, but you thought the BMW's interior is white, so we'll call it even for now. Is there more?
Hannah Farah
Sure there is, but let's go to the. No, no, let's go to everyone else's questions. We'll come back.
Matt Farah
No, no, I want to hear one more of yours.
Hannah Farah
Okay, yeah. What color?
Matt Farah
Oh, Jesus. This isn't fair. You're going collars.
Hannah Farah
Oh, if you play the colorblind card, I'm gonna be so annoyed.
Matt Farah
You did this with Jillian, didn't you?
Hannah Farah
No, I did this literally when I was watching that one termite on the floor when I was laying on the floor today. All right. What color was the car you drove on our early date when we went into the Canyons?
Matt Farah
Nardo Gray.
Hannah Farah
That's right.
Matt Farah
Okay, cool. So can we stay married then?
Hannah Farah
For the moment?
Matt Farah
All right, cool. Okay, so you want to see what. A lot of people have a lot of things to say. I think every patron put a question up.
Hannah Farah
Great. Well, let's ask one.
Matt Farah
There's many. We'll go if you got in, I'm gonna go reverse order, because if you got in, there's too many to do. I mean, we'd be here all night. But I'm gonna just start at the beginning.

Hannah Farah
Okay.
Matt Farah
It wasn't like Alex Jonesy with the fervor, but I'm not talking about the world ending and therefore buy my vitamins.
Hannah Farah
Right? Yeah. Yeah. The only way to make it through.
Matt Farah
We'll be doing that soon enough. Don't worry.
Hannah Farah
That's for 1001.
Matt Farah
All right, Gila monster. Greg says. What's Hannah's favorite press car that I've brought home?
Hannah Farah
Oh, interesting.
Matt Farah
Hannah does get to have go's in most of the press cars.
Hannah Farah
What was the. The Volvo was one of the more notable ones that I was so surprised that I liked.
Matt Farah
The polestar, the one we drove to Arizona, or the. The one that had the air suspension and the wool interior.
Hannah Farah
The red one, I think it was the air suspension one.
Matt Farah
I love that car.
Hannah Farah
Yeah, that's the car.
Matt Farah
The cars I like recharge with the full kit and the wool interior.
Hannah Farah
The cars I like the most are the ones that, like, it would never occur to me to get into, you know, like, if I saw it on the street. It's, like, not my style. It's not my anything, you know? And then I really love when you bring home press cars that are then, you know, on the other end of the spectrum, like, super. You know, it's like a supercar, but then it's super loud and super roomy and, like, real ridiculous. Like, I do really love that because I know when you're coming home with.
Matt Farah
The revuelto, I got to sneak away.
Hannah Farah
I know.
Matt Farah
Sneak out in electric mode and then start the engine in front of another person's house rather than ours. You know whose house I did in front of, too?
Hannah Farah
I sure do.
Matt Farah
Okay. Yeah. Cool. Junehound, what sports cars over the years has struck you as especially well suited for fat guys? 911s are pretty good. Front engine Corvettes are pretty good. You know, GT cars rather than sports cars like Challengers and Bentley. GTs and Mercedes SLs and stuff like that. What else is good for bigger folks? I mean, boxsters, considering how small of a car they are. Honestly, yeah. Front engine Ferraris are pretty good. Nice cams, says Hannah. How did you come to terms with the fact that I spend a lot of money on cars and watches? My wife simply can't understand why I do. Hoping to hear another perspective.
Hannah Farah
I didn't have to. I mean, it wasn't coming to terms with it. That was just part of the whole package. I accepted this right off the bat. I was doing it when you met me, right? Yeah. I'm not gonna change you. I'm gonna accept you how you are. Thanks, Amy.
Matt Farah
That's so nice.
Hannah Farah
But Matt and I do have a lot of discussions around, you know, the extreme price difference in our hobbies. You know, such as Matt, his watches and cars. I have, you know, $19 toys from eBay that I talked down from $21. And then I still feel guilty about it. And I have to ask Matt, like, is this okay, everybody?
Matt Farah
I mean, you know, if you buy a $5,000 watch and sell it later for 5,001 versus you spend $28 on something.
Hannah Farah
What are you getting at?
Matt Farah
No, I'm just saying.
Hannah Farah
No, I'm just saying.
Matt Farah
It's both sides of the math. I like you buying toys. I like you. I have never, ever tried to tell you to not buy something.
Hannah Farah
No, no, no. That's not where we're going at all.
Matt Farah
No, that's not.
Hannah Farah
But you are.
Matt Farah
I told you to not buy things. But, like, you gotta go with me.
Hannah Farah
On most of them. Like that. Yeah, that Russian.
Matt Farah
I've talked you out of some, like, doll that I like. It's like the first couple fucking scenes of a horror movie where you're like, I found this on Facebook Marketplace. It says, like, found in a Russian crypt. Like, what do you think?
Hannah Farah
Yeah, those. I asked if the brown spots are mold.
Matt Farah
I think this thing's gonna fucking take over our house. Live in our water heaters.
Hannah Farah
No. Sometimes I only ask you cause I need someone to say no.
Matt Farah
Pretty much the good toys Hannah buys are amazing.
Hannah Farah
No, no, no. I'm not saying that you're ever giving me any shit. You were just happened to be implying that my toys were trash and your toys were worthless.
Matt Farah
Hannah's toys are not trash. Here's my advice on this topic is you should buy your wife cars and watches. I find that that is a pretty good peace offering. One for me, one for you, one for me, one for you. That keeps it Nice. No, doesn't it?
Hannah Farah
I mean, does. But like buying your white. That's how my dad gives gifts is like he gives you something he wanted and so then you're not interested in it and he takes it. So.
Matt Farah
But that's not what I do. I don't buy you a car that I wanted.
Hannah Farah
No, but to date you bought me one car.
Matt Farah
The Pow.
Hannah Farah
Yes. Yeah.
Matt Farah
Yeah.
Hannah Farah
But I'm just saying, the one for me, one for you. That's also forcing your hobby on someone else. That's not very nice. And I do now own multiple watches and I find it very hard to swap out watches, to remember to do it, to think about it. It's a shockingly hard thing.
Matt Farah
Yeah, I fucked up by starting with a Rolex. When you start with Rolex, everything else seems kind of cumbersome and annoying and.
Hannah Farah
You have to think nothing fits as well.
Matt Farah
I know. It's true. That's why people buy those. That's why collect them. They're so easy to wear. But yeah, Justin Gerard says the real. Sorry. Justin Gerard, the real one. Justin deserves to have his full username.
Hannah Farah
Absolutely.
Matt Farah
For his patronage. No. This is cute. During my career. What? Let's not do questions about me, okay? Okay. I'm sorry, Justin, you have a great question. But. But I heard the woman. My wife is forced to live with me, a car guy who talks about cars all the time and it's not my work. Do you talk about cars at home or is it something that I mostly leave at work?
Hannah Farah
I mean, while that's an interesting one, I'll answer it in a terrible way of saying. Well, how do I say this? I think a lot of our friends are from the car community. And so it is inevitable that cars will come up. But you know, Matt either tries really hard to kind of time box those discussions or looks the other way when I just pick up a crossword puzzle and start doing it at the table and not listening to what they're saying. But the way I kind of judge people, this is again now unrelated, but one of the ways I judge people is like there's people who in our lives that we're talking to them and they're talking about cars and they're only going to talk to Matt about cars because it's Matt and it's cars and it's cars and it's Matt and they have his attention. And then they're the people who also kind of make an effort of some sort to include me or talk about non car things. And those are the people who really stand out to me.
Matt Farah
Ryan west, two questions. Oh. Oh, no, wait. Did I. Okay. No, no, it's okay. I thought I clicked in the wrong. What's happening here? Ryan west says, I'm gonna use this space on behalf of my wife. Wife has a master's degree in industrial psychology, but is struggling to move up and through organizations, progressing her career, et cetera. Okay. Oh. The question is, is there advice? Sorry, it's a lot of words. It's hard to do in real time. Is there any advice on how to track down a mentorship outside of her work? They offer one, but obviously there is some conflict.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. For mentorships. I mean, I'm happy to help with this offline as well, but there's so many women's organizations that are really built around getting mentors and finding people to connect with. Like, I'm part of one that's women in research, and I have found a lot of new mentees through that program, which has been great, but it definitely is a lot of work and a lot of trial and error, for sure. Okay, this is now weird, because all you're doing is reading.
Matt Farah
I'm trying to find ones more about you, but a lot of these are about me. You're not talking to the air. You're talking to the audience.
Hannah Farah
I am happy to talk about you. I am listening.
Matt Farah
I'm just like, okay, fine. Here, you want to. Here's an open door for you. Dan. W. What is my worst habit that I won't admit to?
Hannah Farah
Ooh. Well, I mean, I could just go right for the fingernails in the sink from yesterday from the other day.
Matt Farah
I was waiting for the sink to dry. Cold as ice, but true. Yep, I admitted to that.
Hannah Farah
No, I think you admit to all of them. I mean, mainly because I usually corner you and, like, demand that you acknowledge that this is a thing that just happened, such as your love of opening cans of Lacroix and leaving them all over the house.
Matt Farah
Oh, that is a bad habit. Yeah. My wounded soldiers of La Croix.
Hannah Farah
But luckily, I like warm, slightly flat LaCroix.
Matt Farah
Yeah.
Hannah Farah
So it's.
Matt Farah
I mean, that's why we make a good couple. But you're right, that is a bad habit. It. And I don't cop to it as often as I should. Aiden Squires, your honest opinion on my Pearl Jam tattoo.
Hannah Farah
I think a younger version of me would have been a lot more judgmental of that tattoo. A younger version of me would have, like, stared at it on our first date and been like, so are you in Pearl, Jamie?
Matt Farah
Like, if you're in Pearl Jam and have that tattoo that's really lame.
Hannah Farah
I mean, I don't know, maybe what if you were like.
Matt Farah
Unless it's like, from the guy from Sublime where it's the COVID of the album. Oh, shit. You know what I mean? Like, then it's fine where you did it clearly first. And anyone else who does that, they saw it. Cause you did it.
Hannah Farah
Yes, I see what you're saying, but I would have really struggled with it. But also, I didn't recognize it as a Pearl Jam stickman at first. And so I also would have been like, what's this fuzzy line drawing on your arm?
Matt Farah
I mean, that's the key. The key to a band tattoo if you're gonna get one. And I think I recognized this when I got it. It can't be the name of the band. It has to be something that isn't immediately for the rest of your life, like Metallica.
Hannah Farah
You should have gotten Pearl Jam written in if.
Matt Farah
Fucking. If I had a Sharpie, there'd be a Mike McCready signature on that bitch.
Hannah Farah
Yes, of course.
Matt Farah
We would have been up till four in the morning getting that thing.
Hannah Farah
I know that was quite an adventure. But my favorite Pearl.
Matt Farah
Get at me, Mike.
Hannah Farah
My favorite Pearl Jam tattoo story. I mean, my only Pearl Jam tattoo story is we were walking on the beach one day and you were in your regular beach tank top and had your forearm exposed and some other guy was walking and he also had a Pearl Jam tattoo. And you said, nice stick, man. And I didn't know that the guy was called Stickman. And I thought you were saying, nice stick comma man, and like, that stick was slang for tattoo. And I was like, what is this slang? What are the young kids saying these days? That. I don't know.
Matt Farah
It's just a generational difference. Weird.
Hannah Farah
It was very hard. But now I know.
Matt Farah
Okay. Brian can only afford budget watches. Would like you to elaborate on what you love so much about. About the delica.
Hannah Farah
I love the smell in the delica. Like, it's just got like an old but happy smell. I love when you turn it on.
Matt Farah
What you're describing is a 1990s Japanese car. That is what that smell is. Yeah.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. I mean, yeah, that sounds about right. I just. I love. I love the delica because people, you know, people first do the double take. Cause you're on the right side driving, but then people always smile at it. And that makes me really happy. But I also love that it says a lot of random words on it, like exceed And Star Wagon does say.
Matt Farah
Random words on it.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. And I love that those chairs swivel.
Matt Farah
Around hallmarks of early 1990s Japanese utility vehicles.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. And I love, you know, during the pandemic, we ate meals in there. Yeah, that's good. There's so many things to love.
Matt Farah
It is extremely lovable. Tim McLaren. What's something that you're enthusiastic or passionate about that you've gotten me into? Legree was one. Reluctantly, but still.
Hannah Farah
I love that you think I'm enthusiastic about it.
Matt Farah
At least you were at a time, if not now.
Hannah Farah
No, no, it's a thing. Yes, it is a thing. I did. And then you got into. That's a really interesting question. I mean. Well, one of the defining aspects of my personality is that I have no hobbies or passions, which isn't true. And so this question actually just might be a self esteem killer. Because now I have nothing and I've offered you nothing.
Matt Farah
That's not true at all.
Hannah Farah
There's puzzles that you refuse to do. Go on board games that you refuse to do.
Matt Farah
I pop into crosswords. I can do crosswords. She's so good at puzzles, she'll blast through them. Oh, not puzzle. Not puzzle. Jigsaw puzzles. I do refuse to do those. As a colorblind person. It's just too goddamn frustrating. I cannot.
Hannah Farah
You don't do any of my other ones either. Which is all fine. I don't need you to be like wildly involved. But there isn't any kind of like one thing that Matt has come over to my side on. Sorry, bad answer.
Matt Farah
I mean, we have to look. You have to look pretty far back to like 2015. But you got me into working out with a trainer.
Hannah Farah
Oh, that is true.
Matt Farah
Which I think made a lot of difference.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. Well, when we first started dating and you had that like, stairmaster in your bedroom that I would just hang my clothes on. Yeah. And I could not figure out why it was in there. And then. But then you started using it and it made a lot of sense. But then it was like that weird sweat ring around it on the car. Anyway.
Matt Farah
Yeah, no, that wasn't the right place in the house for it. And we got rid of that carpet also. That was money well spent.
Hannah Farah
That was. Yeah, definitely.
Matt Farah
Hardwood floors are good. Let's see. Oh, oh, okay. Professional opinion. IPhone 13, mini forever repper. Fucking Zen. There we go. Professional opinion on the differences, if any, between design researchers, UX researchers, and human factors and engineers.
Hannah Farah
Oh, fascinating question. I'm sure there are people who will say there's A ton of differences. Human factors engineers may be a little bit different, especially if they have any part of the actual engineering. So I'm just going to move them off to the side. But I always say, throughout my career I've done UX research, consumer insights, market research, you name it, I've been called that. But it's all really the same thing, which is how do we put the user at the core of our product? So to me, there's not a ton of difference. And I think when you try and split out things like this team only talks to consumers about marketing and this team only talks to them about how the product works, you're all now just pretending that you're not all talking to the same person. And that's kind of silly.
Matt Farah
Hmm, good question. Says that's the next person's username.
Hannah Farah
Oh, I like that.
Matt Farah
It forces you to say that immediately after the previous one, even though if the previous one was not good.
Hannah Farah
Right. Like when your band name is free beer or something.
Matt Farah
Yeah. Hannah, what are the three things you love most about hot dogs? Oh, we have, for some people, have absolutely no idea why that question would be asked. Hannah has designated a bathroom in our house as a hot dog bathroom, which features a very large collection of hot dog themed things.
Hannah Farah
But more importantly about this bathroom is that everyone should know that Matt now refuses to go into this bathroom to do his business because there's so many.
Matt Farah
Hot dogs I can't fit.
Hannah Farah
Well, you do have to shimmy in between that one hot dog and the toilet, which is a bit of an issue now, but I find it nice to have something to rest my knees against.
Matt Farah
The Instagram clip is, well, yes, you now have to shimmy between the hot dog and the toilet.
Hannah Farah
Yeah, but really, I love, I mean, I just, I love the iconography of a hot dog and I love that it's become this weird universal symbol for things. Or not symbol, but like baseline for various. Like, I like the anthropomorphization of the hot dog, I guess I should say.
Matt Farah
Right. It's like iconography and it's like cartoon hot dogs. More like. I think I've seen you eat three or four hot dogs. Proper hot dogs. Anyway, pigs in the blanket, that's a different story.
Hannah Farah
That's completely different.
Matt Farah
Completely different food.
Hannah Farah
However, pigs in the blanket themed things can go in the hot dog bathroom. Corn dogs cannot. Let me be very clear to the listeners of the radio, they have no place there. But I also, I do. I like a hot dog. Probably one a year at a Sporting event, usually.
Matt Farah
But, like, the volume of hot dog shit in our home compared to the volume of hot dogs that we consume.
Hannah Farah
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Matt Farah
Even, let's just say as a family is drastically out of proportion. Certainly you'd think that we'd be like, we're getting hot dogs for dinner. It's not a thing.
Hannah Farah
Like a conspiratorial. Like, what do you want tonight? Hot dogs. But I will say, though, one of my original visions for the guest bathroom was that that was gonna be skiing themed. And I didn't ski. I mean, now I ski, clearly.
Matt Farah
Is it because you wanted people to do coke in there?
Hannah Farah
I wanted to put a lot of fake cocaine, but also real cocaine. Like, I have the ketchup and mustard dispenser in the hot dog bathroom, and one has soap and one has ketchup.
Matt Farah
For what purpose did you want to put real cocaine in the bathroom?
Hannah Farah
I mean, I like for scavenger hunter. Like the gamification scavenger hunt. Because, I mean, just think about it. If someone, you know, you only get one shot, and if they come out just smelling like a baby diaper, we.
Matt Farah
Know the person that you want to find that is not the person that will. These are dangerous games.
Hannah Farah
You actually bring up a great point. And we have a lot.
Matt Farah
Yeah, but like. But you just made it also sound like it was, like, skiing themed. And I was like, oh, skiing themed. So people could do coke in there. Which really is not a thing that happens in our house.
Hannah Farah
But, like, which is why it's even better. Same, like the hot dogs.
Matt Farah
But are you also talking about alpine skiing? Are you talking about a cocaine themed bathroom?
Hannah Farah
No, it was not a cocaine themed bathroom. Even though I almost bought that cocaine neon sign off of Facebook marketplace early on in this house ownership. Anyway. No, no, it was gonna be alpine skiing. I really like the idea of, like, little skiers on things hanging down. Or like, vintage skiing posters.
Matt Farah
Chalet style room.
Hannah Farah
I also just like a themed bathroom. So.
Matt Farah
Yeah. I mean, look, why not poop with whimsy?
Hannah Farah
Yeah. No, Just today, Jillian commented that she really enjoyed going to the bathroom in the hot dog bathroom because there was things to look at.
Matt Farah
But, like, hot. Yeah. Hot dogs and skiing and a lot of other things. It's pretty easy to find stuff. Demolition man. Much, much harder. Much harder. Yes. Oh, God, this fucking inverse. I'm gonna fire Zach for crimes against scrolling. Okay, wait, Sorry.
Hannah Farah
You're taking too long. I'm gonna ask you a question.
Matt Farah
All right, let's go.
Hannah Farah
Early on in our relationship, how did you describe my driving.
Matt Farah
Perfectly adequate. Next.
Hannah Farah
Who gave us a butter dish for our wedding?
Matt Farah
Marco.
Hannah Farah
Good one.
Matt Farah
Lightning round. Shout out to him.
Hannah Farah
What are some cars I dream about owning?
Matt Farah
Oh, well, you want like an old, small Japanese truck. Like an old, like Nissan Square body truck.
Hannah Farah
Yes, but I don't think I can have that at the same time as the Delica. Yeah.
Matt Farah
The Datsun 510. I think you've talked about Fiat Jollies.
Hannah Farah
Absolutely not.
Matt Farah
No.
Hannah Farah
Nope. Too novelty. Too adorable.
Matt Farah
Okay.
Hannah Farah
We just saw one the other day that you wouldn't let me go across the street.
Matt Farah
Certainly. The Vista Cruiser. The wagon. The Vista Cruiser Wagon.
Hannah Farah
I wasn't even thinking of this one.
Matt Farah
You saw one the other day?
Hannah Farah
Yeah, like two days ago.
Matt Farah
The Stagia.
Hannah Farah
No, not at the car show the day before.
Matt Farah
Ooh, I don't know. Okay.
Hannah Farah
But we were like on Abbot Kitty and we had a whole conversation about it.
Matt Farah
Oh, a Le Car. The Renault Le Car. Yeah. No, I tried to block that out. Listen, you know the Meatloaf song, You know, like, you can have any car you want, but not fucking that.
Hannah Farah
I didn't really realize there was some that were just fully off limits.
Matt Farah
Oh, yeah. A Renault lecar is a hard ass. No.
Hannah Farah
Why?
Matt Farah
It's awful.
Hannah Farah
Next.
Matt Farah
Now there's a very.
Hannah Farah
What if we got a Le Car decal for any of our other cars? Maybe that would be enough.
Matt Farah
What about this?
Hannah Farah
I can't see that far.
Matt Farah
How long?
Hannah Farah
Type, type, type. Tappity, tap, tap.
Matt Farah
This is what. This is what you want. Hang on. This is what you want. What if we did this?
Hannah Farah
It looks square.
Matt Farah
This is.
Hannah Farah
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Matt Farah
Do you know what this is? This is a Renault R5 Turbo.
Hannah Farah
Yes, this is that Turbo. A few, we see them every so often and I really like that. It's a really good blue one. In the neighborhood. Yeah.
Matt Farah
So that is a Le Car, but with the engine in the back instead of the front and that wide body box flare. It's a crazy rally car. One that is the only good variant of the R5, which in America, in Europe, it was sold as R5. In Europe it was sold as the R5. In America it was sold as the Le Car. But that's the best and only actually good version. And also how about this? This is a new electric Renault R5 Turbo 2. No, we don't care.
Hannah Farah
I like the one, the red one.
Matt Farah
That's the original. Oh, yeah, that's the original. And then here's the new, like electric one.
Hannah Farah
It looks a little silly right now, but maybe it'll get better.
Matt Farah
Yeah, well, they're sick. Take my word. The blue one looks awesome.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. Yeah. No, no, that is a very good one. Okay. Just. Good to know. And what about the Suzuki cappuccino?
Matt Farah
I didn't really think that was, like, on your. That high up. I mean, I know you like a cappuccino.
Hannah Farah
I like saying Suzuki cappuccino more than I probably would enjoy a Suzuki cappuccino.
Matt Farah
I'm gonna combine Sam England's question and JCAT's question. Who was the bigger cat person when we got together initially? And what is the ideal number of cats?
Hannah Farah
Oh, well, Matt has an algorithm for this.
Matt Farah
It's an algorithm. It's a formula.
Hannah Farah
It's not an algorithm.
Matt Farah
It's a ratio. Really? Not even a formula. It's just two numbers on one side of a colon and then the other, and then one number on the other side. Yeah.
Hannah Farah
This will be on the next sats. Oh, that was the fake laugh. It's back.
Matt Farah
Sometimes it comes up, up.
Hannah Farah
It's problematic. No. Well, we. We each had two cats coming to the table. Matt was down to, like, one and a half cat when I met him, and then to one, but then I don't know. I think. I don't know if either was a bigger cat person.
Matt Farah
We were equal cat people.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. I think it was just about having animals.
Matt Farah
Now we're. Now we're, like, kind of off the deep end.
Hannah Farah
Now we're in it. Things are out of control.
Matt Farah
Okay. All right. I'm trying to ask you more questions about you than questions.
Hannah Farah
No, no, it's okay.
Matt Farah
What quirks or habits? I suppose I did solicit that in the question.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. That's the question you asked.
Matt Farah
Yeah. So I'm the patriarchy.
Hannah Farah
I don't mind talking about you is being.
Matt Farah
Yeah. My name is Lane, but I identify as a street is a good one.
Hannah Farah
That is very good.
Matt Farah
What quirks or habits have you noticed about me while I'm driving? Do I have any.
Hannah Farah
Quirks or habits? Well, I think the best thing about you while you're driving is that you don't mind when I dick around with the radio while you're driving. You really let me, you know, take that over the.
Matt Farah
That's where the passenger screen and the Taycan really comes in handy.
Hannah Farah
I'm not using that passenger screen. The Taycan.
Matt Farah
Oh, Are you too good for it?
Hannah Farah
It's too many things to touch.
Matt Farah
There's things you can't do on the main screen if you're a passenger, like, while driving. You can't type in things. You can't do certain things.
Hannah Farah
Well, in our two months with this car, we have yet to need to type something in as a passenger.
Matt Farah
Touche.
Hannah Farah
No, the thing I will say is that you are. I find you're very inconsistent in your aggressiveness or, like, it's all cool, man. Like, if I mainly. I guess if I do anything aggressive while driving, you're all, whoa, simmer down, little lady. Like, not so much maneuvering, but, you know, if you're driving, you're all, no, no, I know the formulas and the angles, and I got this.
Matt Farah
And, oh, yeah, my lane placement. I'm really important. There's a method to, like, what lane to be in and where. For sure.
Hannah Farah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But the one.
Matt Farah
What you see as aggression, I see is science.
Hannah Farah
The one. Oh, no, I just lost it. I had. Oh, one quirk.
Matt Farah
Bad habit while driving.
Hannah Farah
It's not even bad habit while driving. It's just a bad thing about Matt is that if, like, I ever discover a shortcut and I point it out to Matt, he then takes ownership of that shortcut. Like, you know, like on Los Angeles, like, you stay in the right lane because that's all the people going to stalker. And then every time we're on Los Angeles now, Matt's like, you got to stay at this right lane. It goes, yeah, that's a hard one for me. But now I've said it out in public, checking it.
Matt Farah
I mean, I was a really irresponsible podcaster. I should have had. I should have had Daniel Dale fact check it first. Mike Hoochie's Harry, are you sure it's not.
Hannah Farah
You ask the question, we'll see.
Matt Farah
What is your favorite vintage toy that was pulled off the market? It says for safety.
Hannah Farah
Like, for safety.
Matt Farah
It says for safety, but I know your favorite one is not pulled off the market. Market for safety.
Hannah Farah
Right. The ones for safety, though, are kind of fascinating. I don't have, like, a favorite one, but there was. I believe there was, like, a science kit from a million years ago that had uranium in it. And there was also uranium. Yeah, I think so. And then there was also.
Matt Farah
Wait, what year was that?
Hannah Farah
I mean, the 30s.
Matt Farah
Okay, so it was like when they were putting radium in watches and shit, too. Yeah, they were doing crazy shit with radium.
Hannah Farah
Oh, well, the radio. Those are the Radium Girls, that book we both read.
Matt Farah
TST reading list. Radium Girls.
Hannah Farah
Radium Girls, for sure. That was a great book.
Matt Farah
Wasn't the documentary, like, horrible, though?
Hannah Farah
We didn't yeah, Nothing about that.
Matt Farah
Read the book.
Hannah Farah
Worth your time. There's another, like, CSI kit from a long time ago where, like, the powder used for fingerprinting was poisonous.
Matt Farah
Cool.
Hannah Farah
But then there was a Cabbage Patch Kid. There was like Chomp and Eater or Chewin Eat Cabbage Patch Kid whose jaws could like. And the famous story is that it ate a little kid's hair and ripped it out of its head. I actually don't think that's true. But it could pinch a kid's fingers if you stuck it in there.
Matt Farah
We mistakenly calibrated the torque and it's got the strength of an alligator. Who knew?
Hannah Farah
Who knew it could keep going so intensely?
Matt Farah
Yeah. Okay. Okay, Dustin, height at this point, can you detect when I am considering a car purchase before I voice the thought? If so, do I have a tell?
Hannah Farah
Well, Matt starts. You start talking about the car a lot more. So it's not even like. It's just. You start bringing it up in conversation. The Porsche, the Taycan, like it was out of nowhere. You just started saying it a lot. It was kind of like not osmosising me, but just letting it marinate in the air so I would get used to it a little bit. But I mean, the Myers Manx. When I saw Matt's face, there was just no doubt in my mind that we weren't leaving without one. Remember in the morning? The next morning, and you rolled over in bed, like, looked at me with goo goo eyes and we were all, I really like that car. That's how I know.
Matt Farah
Yeah, I'm sure.
Hannah Farah
I know.
Matt Farah
I worked on that thing. I can't wait to get it. There was two Manxas of that cars and coffee. Three.
Hannah Farah
There's three there.
Matt Farah
Was there a third one? Cool. Throw some Ds on it. Do I have a different voice for the cats than for people?
Hannah Farah
Oh, my God, yes.
Matt Farah
Everybody does. Cats respond to like, baby talk. They love that shit.
Hannah Farah
I don't even know if it's like baby talk, but you have a lot more. Just variation.
Matt Farah
Yeah. I don't just like, have a different voice for like the cats. I have a different voice for each cat.
Hannah Farah
Very true.
Matt Farah
Yeah. Well, because they're very different cats. They're different personalities. Oh, and if you. We glazed over it. But the ratio is one cat. One cat per thousand square feet.
Hannah Farah
Right.
Matt Farah
But you could easily do two.
Hannah Farah
Easily two cats for every thousand square.
Matt Farah
Feet for the first thousand. Like if you live in a thousand square foot apartment, you could have two cats.
Hannah Farah
Oh, yeah.
Matt Farah
And then beyond that, the ideal ratio is one per Thousand.
Hannah Farah
But. But I still will stand by if the cat distribution system, like, sends one your way.
Matt Farah
Oh, yeah, cushion. There's always a cushion.
Hannah Farah
Yeah, there's always room for one rule.
Matt Farah
It's just a gold. It's a golden ratio, like the Parthenon, but with cats.
Hannah Farah
But I'm not getting any more litter boxes.
Matt Farah
Well, that's the other thing.
Hannah Farah
I had to draw a line. Yeah, now we get Jackson Galaxy involved. There's so much to be said.
Matt Farah
Misha was so insistent about the litter robots, which. They're cool, but they're huge. They're huge.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. Yeah.
Matt Farah
You need to, like, have a. Convert a bedroom into, like, a toilet room.
Hannah Farah
I mean, we basically have. Anyway.
Matt Farah
Clapman's freshman dorm bed wrote a lot of words. But long story short, are there any podcasts that you enjoy or would recommend?
Hannah Farah
Oh, there is no one podcast that I'll put on and blanket love whatever they talk about. They used to be old Radiolab episodes. I could just put it on while doing a jigsaw puzzle and was very happy. So. No. But there are then select episodes of podcasts that I certainly have listened to or have recommended. But I'd say for us, my favorite is to make Matt. You know, like, when Matt and I are in the car and he's listening to the Dollop or Behind the Basterds or like, one of the, you know, more intense history ones, then I'll kind of counter it by listening to an episode of Normal Gossip, which is an excellent.
Matt Farah
Normal Gossip is kind of. Is kind of fun.
Hannah Farah
Yes. It's two people discussing someone else's gossip and just, like, a real dumb story. But you get really excited about other people's drama. So I'd say that one.
Matt Farah
Village idiot. Would you ever come on one of the road and track events? Or is that mixing public and private life too much?
Hannah Farah
I like to let you kind of do your job on those things on those kinds of events. Matt's job is to be really social, to be really chatty. And I don't have a huge social battery, and I don't, like. I can't talk about car stuff with as much excitement. So I don't think I'd be an ad to any of those events for Matt Hannah's.
Matt Farah
An ad by coming on the recce with me and finding.
Hannah Farah
The what? The recce.
Matt Farah
The recce.
Hannah Farah
What's a recce?
Matt Farah
It's a car reconnaissance. The scout who says that rally drivers.
Hannah Farah
So, like, am I a rally driver now?
Matt Farah
We were scouting a rally that's literally recce.
Hannah Farah
The rally, it might not have been.
Matt Farah
Like a competitive rally, but is there.
Hannah Farah
A satin jacket or something?
Matt Farah
A term of. I can get you some swag. Yeah, we'll talk about swag on the other end. Yeah, you probably work something out.
Hannah Farah
Recce. All right, go on.
Matt Farah
You contribute in other ways. Like the last Arizona rally. Like your side. Your little side excursions were a big hit.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. No, no, I like. I enjoy a road trip. I enjoy all those things. I enjoy it with Matt, but on those things, I like to let Matt work and it. And we save on a cat sitter.
Matt Farah
It's fun and it's fun, but it is what? Auto kennel. Paul, what's your favorite dish that I cook and what's the best thing that you cook? You wouldn't say that you cook very well, but you read a recipe and cook from a recipe. Well, more often than you don't.
Hannah Farah
Yes. Well, you're just a more confident cook. There's that. Yeah. Like, you know, I overdo all the meats because I'm afraid I'm going to kill us both. And I really only stick right to a recipe. But my favorite thing that Matt makes is a hot peanut butter. I guess a grilled peanut butter jelly sandwich.
Matt Farah
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hannah Farah
That really is hardcore. I remember I was sick last year and I asked you for one, and I was laying on the couch and I, like, jellied all over myself. And then you had to come clean it up.
Matt Farah
But while I was Instagram clip number two.
Hannah Farah
It was, like, the only thing I wanted, and it was so perfect.
Matt Farah
Yeah. Yeah, man. That's like, from my college days. We used to fuck with that when I was living in the frat house, and we had one of them big commercial kitchens for, like, 50 people with a huge hibachi, like, probably four of what we have in our house, like, fucking. And we would make a wrap, we'd do a whole loaf tops, whole loaf bottoms, grilled PB and J. Fabulous.
Hannah Farah
That's a pretty delicious.
Matt Farah
Yeah, you can't have a bad time fucking with a grilled PB and J. Yeah, definitely gotta go slightly heavy on the peanut butter. And then you're there. Then you're in the game. And also not squish it too hard like the cheese, because then you, you know, you gotta give it. You keep it pretty fluffy. Yeah. Light pressure. Okay. I'm not fat. My waistband just uses the NASCAR line at coda. Do you understand what that means? Shit. I'm not used to that camera being there.
Hannah Farah
Earthquake when I sit there.
Matt Farah
That Camera isn't there. I'm sorry?
Hannah Farah
No, nothing.
Matt Farah
It's a joke about fatness. Which human does each cat prefer?
Hannah Farah
Oh, very easy. Cricket prefers me. Nikki prefers Matt. Finn can work Matt a lot better. Like, Finn is.
Matt Farah
Finn is a drama king.
Hannah Farah
Matt gives in to Finn a lot. But then Finn also knows to, like. Then at night, come and snuggle with him and, like, you know, that way tomorrow morning. And then Monty. I don't think Monty has a favorite between us.
Matt Farah
Monty likes you better, but sleeps with me more.
Hannah Farah
First of all, Monty tried to kill me, so he has to like me.
Matt Farah
I'd say he tried. I would say a thing that he was inside of him tried, but he didn't. He didn't try. He was like £2. He didn't try. He didn't even want to leave the truck. He was like, oh.
Hannah Farah
So I was asking for it, is what you're saying.
Matt Farah
What were you wearing?
Hannah Farah
Right. No. And I shouldn't have been wearing those short sleeves, I guess.
Matt Farah
Right? That's true. No, yeah, yeah. We should have had ppe.
Hannah Farah
But once again, I will point out, at that time, I was so afraid of bringing fleas into the house that I would strip down naked, put all the clothes in the dryer, and then go immediately shower, and you would, like, roll on the floor with him and then roll on the floor with the other cats and then roll in our bed. And, like, you were fine, but it.
Matt Farah
Was the crucial 12 hours before I got home where that shit was. He had a bath. By the time I got home, he had all that shit.
Hannah Farah
Yeah, you're right.
Matt Farah
Yeah. He was a clean fluff by the time I got home, like three different people. That might all be. You actually really want to know about Twitter? The best version of that question is, how does it feel to be dozed before it became Twitter? Cool.
Hannah Farah
That's very funny.
Matt Farah
The framing of the question should be how 0 to 10 how exactly. The same is what's happened to our government. What happened to Twitter as you watched?
Hannah Farah
I mean, look, people have a way. People have a playbook. People don't stray far. But I really like the idea of being a trendsetter in the space. That makes me really happy. I mean, the ski instructor I just had, he had gotten let go from the National Park Service, and it was a really nice bonding point.
Matt Farah
Shout out to Eric.
Hannah Farah
Oh, Eric. He was great.
Matt Farah
Eric at the Yellowstone Club got fucking doged.
Hannah Farah
He did get doged. And then had to put up with me, Vint and Joyin for two days.
Matt Farah
Oh, yeah. Do you want to talk about the fact? Do you want to be. You want to vent? Fucking blow up my spot again for not putting the video of you skiing on Instagram?
Hannah Farah
No, no, not at all. I was actually just gonna say more about Eric. The best part of Eric is we had him on day one. We weren't scheduled to have him on day two. And then, like, in the middle of the night, we managed to get his schedule changed, so he had us. And when Joey and I saw him in the morning and said, like, hey, like, aren't you excited you got to go with us again today? He went, it's fine. And that's why I love him. But, no, being a trendsetter is the best part of. Yeah, the Twitter dumpster fire. But, yeah, it is kind of terrifying to watch our government go through the same thing and just this notion that, like, just this one dude knows everything. Yeah, you don't need all these other people.
Matt Farah
And, like, you know, Twitter, I suppose, in a basic structure, still kind of, like, limps along, you know? It's not like it's not broken to where it's, like, dead, but it's broken to where it's, like, pretty much unfixable.
Hannah Farah
Well, it's not even that. It's working for a select few people.
Matt Farah
Right.
Hannah Farah
And that's where the analogy really comes in.
Matt Farah
Yeah. Yeah, true. Yeah. But, yeah, we should have some shirts made or something. You were fucking. You were doged first. Yeah. It's fucking crazy. I hope somebody writes the book. Let's see. Matt Jelanik. If you could swap me for any car, what car would it be?
Hannah Farah
A LE Car.
Matt Farah
Yeah. The world's best lay car.
Hannah Farah
I don't even know how to answer that question.
Matt Farah
Seems a little loaded, honestly. I'm sorry, do you want to talk about watches? You don't really care that much.
Hannah Farah
I just don't have that much to offer with them.
Matt Farah
Kip Katsechka. I'm sorry, Kip. Appreciate you can't pronounce your last name. What advice would you give men wanting to be better advocates for women in the workplace?
Hannah Farah
Ooh, I think the biggest one is letting them speak. Meaning, you know, don't talk over them. Make sure, you know, in a meeting, if the woman's not speaking up, you know, maybe asking her if she has any thoughts on it, you know, or just really allowing them the same airtime that men get. I mean, obviously there's a million other things you could do, et cetera, et cetera. But that, to me, was always the biggest One is like, like my career. I have seen many men who suddenly are experts in research, who can talk right over me, not give me any airspace, and then like 10 minutes later be like, so you're doing all this. Right, thanks, bye. So I think that's the biggest one.
Matt Farah
Dan Deroux says, do you have any stories? And you don't have to use the name of the company, of companies either asking or doing questionable things in the name of increasing sales.
Hannah Farah
I don't think it. No. I mean, I've never worked for a company that had really truly ill intent. I think a lot of companies start out wanting to do good things and then have to report to Wall street, have to get certain numbers and they end up making very bad choices. But I've never seen, I've never seen any company be like, ooh, this is going to kill, you know, children, let's ship it anyway. But I have seen the like read.
Matt Farah
Ralph Nader unsafe at any speed. For plenty of that.
Hannah Farah
Yes, for plenty of that. But I have seen the like, well, let's just like cost reduce these good features out of this just to hit the margin. And that's so sad. And you can just see that happening right in front of you.
Matt Farah
Yeah. Check your fucking food packaging. Shrinkflation is going down.
Hannah Farah
Wouldn't that be as going up?
Matt Farah
Right, I didn't mean. I meant like going down like it's going down.
Hannah Farah
Oh, it's going down like, nice stick.
Matt Farah
Sorry. I realize that's why I'm not an economist, because I use slang words that are the literal opposite of what they should probably fucking mean. Did I ask? I don't think I did. Eric Tiergood. Would you rather have the POW or the Delica converted to EV if it was gonna be done for free?
Hannah Farah
The pow, Just because, I mean, it would be very funny. A car that gives us electrical problems if we just made that electric.
Matt Farah
Right. I could move on and possibly solve that problem.
Hannah Farah
But one of the things I love about the Delica, to go back to the other question is the way it sounds, you know that like the diesel. Yeah, the diesel puck.
Matt Farah
Yeah, the Delica is also like the POW doesn't have a function. It's a little toy, right? So it might as well be in a little electric toy. Like why have a shitty gas engine in it?
Hannah Farah
What if they verbal tuned the.
Matt Farah
It kind of does on when you start it up already. But like, but like the engine is like a liability in that car. It's not an asset. It's a shitty little one liter fucking piece of junk.
Hannah Farah
How did you describe that car? When I first saw it and really loved it.
Matt Farah
A beach chair on wheels. Yeah. Which is, I think, very accurate. Yes. That car would be a fabulous electric car because it doesn't weigh. There's, like, all kinds of room in the trunk you could put.
Hannah Farah
But if we made it an electric car, I'd still want it to beep at 108km an hour. Just for old times sake.
Matt Farah
To remind you.
Hannah Farah
Just to remind me.
Matt Farah
God, we should have had Mad Mike get rid of that. Oh, yeah, all that money. Fuck, I'll probably end up back there eventually.
Hannah Farah
Not if someone makes it an EV at no charge.
Matt Farah
Oh, yeah, if whoever offered that. Eric, if you by any chance are in the business of converting D list celebrities, wives, cars to EV at absolutely no charge. Let's go. Call me. There was a lot of overlap in questions, so I think we pretty much. There were some at the bottom that I didn't get to because they were about me, but I did say we were talking about dirt. So let me just go back to the beginning before I call. No, I said you were gonna talk shit about me, so people were opening the door for you to talk shit about.
Hannah Farah
Do you remember in the first podcast we did together my favorite question that someone had asked about you?
Matt Farah
No, because I was drunk.
Hannah Farah
It was if you refer. Is he think. If you refer. If you prefer. For your. I think if you refer to your own head as your dome piece is the greatest question.
Matt Farah
It's a very funny question.
Hannah Farah
Yeah.
Matt Farah
Okay. Buying that. Whoa. Oh. Buying that. Okay. No, I guess there must be a character limit and someone uses it. Good username. Buying that. Government ain't gonna fix your daddy issues. Oh, that's an Elon Musk thing.
Hannah Farah
Yes, I got that one. Thank you.
Matt Farah
Okay, cool.
Hannah Farah
So sorry, Recce, I don't get but that very long Elon Musk one.
Matt Farah
Okay, we'll start at Musk and work your way to the wrc. Do you know what the WRC is? That's the rally.
Hannah Farah
Yes, the rally one. I got that one.
Matt Farah
What's one thing that you wish I would come do with you for fun that I don't do?
Hannah Farah
Well, I think it's more. I wish when. Well, I guess one go to Target.
Matt Farah
I go to Target.
Hannah Farah
But in general, Matt is a very goal oriented shopper and I really like to wander and look at stuff. And so a lot of times I'll be like, oh, here's like a stuff store. Let me go in. And then Matt stands right outside the door on his phone, which is not like.
Matt Farah
I mean, I think, I'm sure, like, this is a show for not four men. That's not accurate. But this is a show predominantly listened to by. And I'm sure most of them can relate to the. You know, my wife wants to browse the store and I should be better at it and shut the fuck up about it.
Hannah Farah
No, no, it's. I mean, you certainly don't complain. It's just my own, like, I start to feel pressure when you're out there. I'm an efficient shopper. I'm usually looking at pretty interesting stuff and I think you could be a little more excited about it. Like when I'm shaking the blind boxes to see if I can tell by the weight what's inside of them.
Matt Farah
You had me going and then you lost me. You had me going at like, you could be a better husband about this. And then you lost me at. And the stuff I'm looking at, it's really interesting.
Hannah Farah
It's some top notch stuff. I'm just saying I'm not looking at like floral arrangements, which could be interesting to see.
Matt Farah
Someone asked what kind of. I forgot I closed. Close the computer. But someone asked what kind of vintage toys you like to collect. It's big, colorful plastic, 70s ones mostly, right?
Hannah Farah
Yeah, I love big plastic. Then there's other subsets. The other collection I recently wanted to start that you were not about was plush with rubber faces. Those were terrifying. But I feel like the monster room could use a little bit more love and really weird looking monsters. But the number one is oversized, colorful plastic. Wait, let me. Hold on. Let me see if I have any more questions.
Matt Farah
We're approaching. We're about eight minutes from the end.
Hannah Farah
Do you need me to.
Matt Farah
Fuck?
Hannah Farah
What?
Matt Farah
If Hannah had a better career in broadcasting, she could.
Hannah Farah
Can you name two things I hate in life?
Matt Farah
Probably. Name a bunch of things.
Hannah Farah
Hit me.
Matt Farah
Okay. Me not remembering things.
Hannah Farah
Interestingly, not on my list, but go on. It's true. It is true.
Matt Farah
Oh, wow. This is one of these tough ones where you do this sometimes to me where you ask me something that seems like it should be an easy thing, but, like, when. Do you remember what happened the last time I did this? You put me in the spot. I didn't have an answer and you got real mad and didn't talk to me for a little while.
Hannah Farah
Okay, but when you say I didn't talk to you for a little while. We were talking like nine minutes and then.
Matt Farah
No, no.
Hannah Farah
And then I wanted like a.
Matt Farah
It was probably like an hour or two. We were both at home. Yeah.
Hannah Farah
And then. Oh, but then you did the sweetest thing.
Matt Farah
And then what did I do?
Hannah Farah
Oh, my God.
Matt Farah
I made a list of all the things. I sat down in a little quiet corner and I made a list of all the things I could think of. And. And fucking shocker. There was a lot of them. If I wasn't put on the spot. And I thought of a whole bunch of things that were in whatever the category.
Hannah Farah
Can you name anything that was on that list?
Matt Farah
I'm sure if you asked me what the category was. Again, I don't remember what the list was about.
Hannah Farah
No, the list. That whole weird spiral I went into is that you don't know anything about me and that we're strangers to each other.
Matt Farah
Yes.
Hannah Farah
And I was very concerned about that.
Matt Farah
Leave a comment if you think she's right.
Hannah Farah
And then you wrote a list. The list was just things you know about me.
Matt Farah
Oh, yeah. You were literally like, name three things you know about me. Which is like, you know, which if you're put on the spot as, like, you know, not an argument, but, like a. You know, under pressure and, you know, I just sort of like. You want to think of. But you're just. You collapse on.
Hannah Farah
No, I totally get it under the weight.
Matt Farah
It turns out when I had, like, five minutes to sit down and think about it, I know an awful lot of things, but, like.
Hannah Farah
All right, fine, I'll skip that. What's the most disgusting food that you.
Matt Farah
Like that you don't like that I like?
Hannah Farah
I don't think anyone else likes? No, no. I just don't think you should be allowed to eat that.
Matt Farah
This something I. Because it's, like, unhealthy.
Hannah Farah
No. Cause it's gross.
Matt Farah
And it's not oysters.
Hannah Farah
No, that's a different. Like, that's a whole other thing.
Matt Farah
It's. Okay. Something that I eat that's gross.
Hannah Farah
For oysters, for the record, you're allowed to eat them, but what you can't do is that thing everyone does at the end where they go like, ooh, blam, blam, the shell down. And they're like, oh, my God, the brine. Like, enough already. That's an oyster thing.
Matt Farah
You have to eat it like it's a diner cheeseburger. Like at the airport.
Hannah Farah
Yeah, yeah, like it's an airport oyster.
Matt Farah
No. Enjoying oysters. Okay, great.
Hannah Farah
Just not the big show.
Matt Farah
Something I eat that you think is gross.
Hannah Farah
Mm. All right, fine. Cinnamon raisin. Cinnamon raisin bagel with lox. Cream cheese.
Matt Farah
Oh, unaccountable Unacceptable.
Hannah Farah
Unacceptable.
Matt Farah
Let me be very clear about this. That you're right. Yes. That is. You do think that's gross? I. When was the last time I actually had that?
Hannah Farah
I mean, I wouldn't let that combination in the house.
Matt Farah
That was something I ate when I was a kid.
Hannah Farah
If I got bagels and there was a cinnamon raisin bagel in there, I would.
Matt Farah
A cinnamon raisin bagel and cream cheese is a lovely thing.
Hannah Farah
That's a good. No, that's like a hard muffin. That's like a sad muffin.
Matt Farah
If you're at a brunch. It's all right. It's good.
Hannah Farah
It's not a bagel.
Matt Farah
I used to. But that's not actually even the weirdest sandwich that we used to have. My dad's weird sandwich was way fucking weirder than that sandwich.
Hannah Farah
What was that?
Matt Farah
My dad used to fuck with a pita. I shit you not. Open up the pocket. Peanut butter. Both inner walls of the pocket with peanut butter and then two slices of American cheese down in the pocket, and it's flat. That's it. Peanut butter, American cheese. No, no.
Hannah Farah
That's disgusting.
Matt Farah
Raw dog.
Hannah Farah
That's disgusting.
Matt Farah
I'll tell you what. It tastes good. It does actually taste good.
Hannah Farah
Is that something like Elvis ate?
Matt Farah
That was grilled peanut butter and banana.
Hannah Farah
Oh, yeah.
Matt Farah
Which is. I mean. And I think that's peanut butter, honey and banana.
Hannah Farah
No, marshmallow. Wasn't fluff or fluff.
Matt Farah
Fluffernutter. That's a different thing. Elvis was grilled. It was peanut butter honey in banana.
Hannah Farah
Okay. Yeah.
Matt Farah
Cause I remember we made it once, and I get how he gained £50 on that. That's delicious as fuck. If you have a personal chef and a whole bunch of yes men around you, of course. Fucking everybody. One for you. And you get a peanut butter and banana. And you get a peanut butter.
Hannah Farah
Yeah.
Matt Farah
But if anyone wants to try something weird and different. Peanut butter and cheese, American slice.
Hannah Farah
Captains of industry. Eat it. You can eat it, too. On vacation.
Matt Farah
I ate it once. When you were out of town.
Hannah Farah
That sounds like something I would eat when you're out of town. When we're on vacation. What's something I love and you hate sitting still? No.
Matt Farah
That counts, though.
Hannah Farah
Yeah.
Matt Farah
That's, like, the main thing. Yeah, but something you love and I hate.
Hannah Farah
Mm. This is a hard question.
Matt Farah
And it applies to all vacations.
Hannah Farah
Every vacation to the point where I've kind of stopped doing it, which is fine. Just, you know, you can dash my dreams.
Matt Farah
Like a themed article of clothing. Or flair.
Hannah Farah
Matching shirts.
Matt Farah
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right.
Hannah Farah
I almost dug out my Hakuna Mat Hanna shirt today, but didn't.
Matt Farah
I was a little concerned about that one.
Hannah Farah
Why?
Matt Farah
Not because of its creativity, but because the intention was to wear that to Africa, which I think as a white guy, you know, even though it was like seven years ago, I still. I think that's a dicey move.
Hannah Farah
We were gonna wear it on the. Like on the flight to JFK before we got on the flight to Johannesburg. And then we would.
Matt Farah
If I didn't wear it the whole way, you would have not been happy.
Hannah Farah
But also, so you know that clothes I wear on an airplane, I basically burn afterwards and they don't ever get worn again. We were not gonna be, like, walking the streets.
Matt Farah
I felt uncomfortable going to Africa wearing a joke with a Lion King pun reference on my shirt.
Hannah Farah
I'm sorry. But Kuna Mad Hanna. That was great.
Matt Farah
It was.
Hannah Farah
It was better than Galapago in. That was a bad one.
Matt Farah
Fabulous wordplay that I will cherish forever. In your smarts, in your creativity.
Hannah Farah
Will you put it in my obituary?
Matt Farah
I'll put it on your fucking tombstone.
Hannah Farah
I don't want a tombstone. I want to be made into a firework or a diamond that my niece has to put into her tooth.
Matt Farah
What if I. Well, I don't know. I'm probably not gonna outlive you. It's probably not gonna happen.
Hannah Farah
I mean, in general, women live long. Although women live seven years longer. I'm X amount of years older.
Matt Farah
Yeah, we're cutting it pretty close.
Hannah Farah
Yeah, it's 50.
Matt Farah
50.
Hannah Farah
Okay, last question. Good one. To close out the show on. Perfect.
Matt Farah
We're at 129.
Hannah Farah
I'll just wait a few seconds to make sure we get over. What is the name of the one Pearl Jam song that I know and you don't?
Matt Farah
Oh, Gremmy. Out of control.
Hannah Farah
Yes.
Matt Farah
Yeah. Yeah. Good job. That was a fucking A moment we witnessed. I've seen so many Pearl Jam shows. We witnessed the one and only live performance in the history of Pearl Jam of the song. I had never fucking heard it before and Hannah knew every word. It was some mind blowing ass shit.
Hannah Farah
It was a very weird moment in our relationship.
Matt Farah
Soundtrack or no, he's a surfrider foundation.
Hannah Farah
Yeah. Jeff Glucker knew the song. Yeah, he was very into.
Matt Farah
Jeff Clucker is actually a more hardcore Pearl Jam fan than I am. Even though I've been to more shows than him.
Hannah Farah
Jeff Clucker's wonderful.
Matt Farah
He is. He'll be here on Sunday for the 1000th episode of the Smoking Tire podcast.
Hannah Farah

Hannah Farah
So great. I'm really proud of you, Matt Farah somebody.
Matt Farah
Thanks, baby. Someone suggested that we pull out clips from, like, the early shows, and I'm not so ashamed of them to take them off the Internet. They're a fun record, but, like, I can. There's no way I. And listen to, like, old cringy ass clips of things I used to say.
Hannah Farah
Sure.
Matt Farah
I wasn't always. I wasn't always as. Do you see this beard? This is the beard.

Hannah Farah
But this has been lovely. Thank you for suffering through me instead of Paul, who would have been the greatest, greatest guest.
Matt Farah
Second place. Second place. Leave a comment if you think I know anything about my wife or she knows anything about me.
Hannah Farah
Your dad once said that we make a good team, and I think that's true.
Matt Farah
My dad said that?
Hannah Farah
Yes, he said it when he came out for the surprise. When he surprised you for the opening of wccs. Oh, yeah, basically. I'm pretty sure he said that because you were socializing with people and, like, people would, like, give you gifts or something and I would, like, quietly walk up behind you and take the gift and go, like, put it away somewhere and then make sure everyone had coffee and that. Pretty much.
Matt Farah
So you're saying, like, you're a good team? He was like, really saying, like, you represent fabulous traditional gender marriage roles.
Hannah Farah
Well, you have been so obsessed lately with trad wives that I have been.
Matt Farah
Obsessed with trad wives.
Hannah Farah
You have talked about trad wives and tradwife clothing a lot lately.
Matt Farah
Only on a couple of days and only because I watched Some more news 50 minute phase ending in wide on trad wives.
Hannah Farah
No, no, no. Your dad just, like, was observing us in action.
Matt Farah
Yeah, I think he's right. He's smart.
Hannah Farah
He's a smart guy.
Matt Farah
He's smart. All right, we're getting there. It's dinner time.
Hannah Farah
I'd like some dinner, please.
Matt Farah
It is. Me too. I want some dinner. It's 8:18 time.

Yeah, we're great. We're back on Thursday with Jerry Seinfeld, me and Zach from Jerry's hangar. There's some airplanes that take off in the background. Couple times.
Hannah Farah
That's fine.
Matt Farah
We're at a hanger. But yeah, 90 minutes with Seinfeld. You can just watch him crush my soul a few times. It's. It's fun and brutal. And then the thousandth episode, Sunday, the 30th, is going to be a live podcasting extravaganza with many guests. And, I mean, hopefully I make it. That's. That's like. We've done 90 minutes.
Hannah Farah
Like, you make it until the end.
Matt Farah
No, till the end. Oh, Sunday. Hannah, there's something I have to tell you. Love you guys. Thanks to our patrons. They're the best. Get in on.
