the joe rogan experience so what's happening with your show man what are you
doing what's the latest
oh you're just gonna go right for the big one let's get in there man all right
first of all
i love your show i've been loving it for years it's fun and i'm a giant muscle
car fan so it's
right up my alley but uh what's the latest well everybody hold on to your hat
out there fast and
loud is no more i have exited discovery and uh i'm a free agent what we're
gonna be doing some
cool things in 2021 and uh it just was a perfect storm so to speak it was time
for me to uh expand
grow a little bit and i've kind of gotten to the top of that mountain uh being
discovery and there
there wasn't anything else for me to do there so wow i used uh you know this
year uh to kind of
rethink and reshape what i want to do in the future and uh so uh fast and loud
no moss geez louise man
eight years though and that's a long run you know 300 ish episodes and uh you
know that's a lot there's
only so many times you can buy a car fix a car sell a car and it was time to
make some changes make it
more fun and uh so the stuff we've got coming out in 2021 is going to be quite
a blast you know let the
cat out of the bag so to speak you're selling them wonder woman bracelets yeah
shaking off bullets with
those ka-ching yeah a lady asked me one time she goes don't those bother you
when they make noise
i said they only make noise when i do this did you tell that to her yeah it's a
good joke uncomfortable
conversation uh she thought it was funny oh you know it was back in my single
price person i'm all
married now right person yeah yeah yeah so uh yeah we're gonna i think i'm
gonna end up doing a
podcast because uh there's not a whole lot going on in my genre in the podcast
world i mean i know some
guys are doing it and they're doing well but i've never been allowed to before
you know so you got to
realize that when i signed my deal with uh disco was almost 10 years ago so so
disco yeah so disc so
discovery didn't did you know social media didn't even exist hardly yeah yeah
so i signed off on all
media so up to this point until literally all media including social media it
wasn't even social
media back then i mean what was it like myspace or something well i was doing
something on uh another
network back in the day and they wanted to get control of my social media that
was like part of the
deal and they thought it was just like an easy yes no it's not i was like you
can eat there's no
way you could pay for it but well it was ridiculous they wanted to use it to
promote other shows on
their network correct i'm like what are you talking about and they're like well
everybody else lets us
do it i go i have millions of followers like there's no chance you're just
going to get
access to that for free now i had the same conversation several times it's a
weird conversation
right it's like that you know they're being weaselly like you know this is a
valuable thing you know
hey no big deal richard we just like to use your entire social media to promote
a lot of other
discovery programs no big deal yeah no big deal you're cool with that right
okay good sign here
well see they try that but uh i couldn't post myself i couldn't do things like
of myself for a
lot of the time like if i went out and bought a car and my camera crew wasn't
with me and so i took my
camera phone and whatever and i wanted to post about it i wasn't able to do
that you weren't allowed
no oh yeah it was pretty rough that's ridiculous but that would just boost up
your social media which
would boost up the show you would think so you would think that would be the
thought that i'm
going to uh you know help boost the show walk me through a conversation with
one of these knuckleheads
i can't well a fake conversation pretend i can't let's pretend it's not
discovery channel
let me tell you it's uh it's called the hoo-ha network yeah it's it let me tell
you it's so it's so
bad you know the question would be how how was my tenure there you know and how
how well was i treated and uh
uh so the answer is um there's a piece of the contract of the contract when i
exited
oh that you can't talk that i can't talk it's up to a 25 000 fine per
occurrence of per occurrence
of you talking me talking well can i talk you can talk as much as you want i
love the discovery channel
i would talk but i watch their programs i like it i like it too i think this is
the automotive
programming could have been a little stronger and we wanted to make some
changes but we were just kind
of stuck in a rut the problem is they're a business and businesses will get
away with whatever they can
get away with there's a reason why we had to make regulations to make sure that
companies don't dump
chemicals into rivers yeah it's because there's certain people that when they
can get away with
something they'll get away with something so anybody that's telling you but the
problem is it's so
short-sighted anybody that's telling you that you can't post something on your
social media
without a camera crew there representing discovery channel it's so silly
because it would boost your
social media the more you post the more interesting you put particularly about
muscle cars right the
more the more it boosts your social media the more people are going to watch
your show it's just it's
math it's like the the rising tide lifts all boats uh i agree with you 100 but
uh the powers that be
they were not having it it took me five years of literally begging to do a
crossover with uh chip foos
no and of course that episode did so well that they all think they're uh genius
geniuses now but uh
you know so i had a good run with discovery i'm ready for the next thing which
uh by the way if
you're a if you're a producer or a network or a streamer out there i'm a free
agent and i would
have to say i might be a very big free agent
