Episode 71-The part when Nico starts touching the other baby’s head… We’re discussing some emergency situations this time on the TeamClearCoat podcast. Dave has a Code Brown while driving home for the holidays, Ian has a parental emergency, and what did we do with those stupid paper tickets? Slightly less urgent are discussions about how difficult the last few tenths… Read more →

Episode 70-Bah Whatever We’re imagining the future in this episode – the realities of the coming year in automotive news, the dystopian possibilities of a world filled with dealership parts counter employees, and the utopian vision of a world with fewer Hawaiian shirts and more cardigans. Right now, though, we need to deal with a stripped out Volkswagen and Dave… Read more →

Episode 69a-This doesn’t sound good… Hey: TeamClearCoat! Step into my office, it’s time for your annual performance review. Now, don’t get me wrong: you did some great stuff this year. “Big strong man?” Classic! Your interviews? Surprisingly not terrible! Dave ahem…relieving himself in a fie… well, HR will talk to you about that one later. What I want to discuss… Read more →

Episode 69-Zeees hair, iz all yours? Is nice! Ian has an uncomfortable interaction; well…all of his interactions are uncomfortable so this was par for the course.

Episode 68a-The stuff that happens in Sodor man…it’s heavy. The after show is short and sweet – we’re enamored with this week’s main show, and we talk about our favorite stuff from the year.

Episode 68-Yeah, this is a good one. You guys, we don’t want to toot our own horn or anything, but the pithy one-liners out of the blanket fort are pretty spectacular this week. The highlight is Dave’s distillation of a Toyota hybrid badge on a Honda Fit (it’s just too brilliant for the iTunes profanity filter). But there are other… Read more →

Episode 67a-Well duh. It’s short and literally sweet in the blanket fort for today’s after show. We talk about candy and whether attempts to display it in a dignified way work. And just so you aren’t overwhelmed with sugary sweet content, we chase it with some bitter civil liberties realism.

Episode 67 It’s back to normal programming this week in the blanket fort. Except that it’s anything but normal. Ian gets to talk about F1, Dave attempts a burnout, and all the cars are now in – ugh – winter mode. But don’t worry: we’ll still drone on for far too long about autonomy and infrastructure.

Episode 66a-RIP Sharon Jones If you haven’t listened to Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, stop what you’re doing, give up on this dumb podcast and go listen to her now. Now. Back? Good right?!? Fantastic. Good to have you back. We talk about the year and how it went… Not good Bob! Anyway, give our goofy little aftershow a listen,… Read more →

Episode 66-Sounds super delicious, right? We kick this ambitious episode talking about our ambitious ambitions (Drivetribe), and ambitious cars.

We also talk about our ambitious urges to punch… Read more →
