Episode 131-Irrational Rationale. There’s a saying: “Don’t yuck someone else’s yum”. Sure, sounds good (and a touch gross) in theory, we get it. If you’re into putting car eyelashes on your Pontiac Grand Am, then you do you. When you dig into that statement, REALLY dig into it, you start to notice it’s a sliding scale. On one end is… Read more →

130-Dave Goes High, Ian Deploys Shame, And We Mutter Into Our Mugs Of Despair
Episode 130-We have thoughts… If we had a dollar for every time this show was an emotional roller coaster, we’d have lots of dollars. The life of a person is full of ups and downs, and being an automotive enthusiast certainly greases the tracks (mainly with oil from cracked VW oil pans), often times accelerating our vacillation between the two… Read more →
129-Ian Chokes Dave, But Not Like In A Hot Way Or Anything, And Dave Contextualizes Ian’s Car, But Not Like In A Hot Way Or Anything.
Episode 129-Urus Urus. If you make it to the end of the show, you’ll probably never hear the name of the weird Lamborghini SUV without it being coupled by a spine-tingling shiver and part of your soul (if you have oneā¦Dave) giving up and leaving. So yeah, besides spoiling Lambo names, Ian makes Dave say uncle. And by uncle, we… Read more →
128-Dave Teases Ian, Ian Doles Out Facts, And We Soak In Our Poor Timing
Episode 128-Cliffhanger!!! Look, we have a bit of an inverse Midas touch. We worked hard to line up an interview with one of the best voices in automotive journalism, Alanis King. The very next day with our interview stored safely away, F1 announced that they were no longer going to use Grid Girls. Sigh. It would have been nice to… Read more →
127-Ian Hits Things With A Hammer, Dave Almost Gets Kicked Out Of A Lexus, And We Change Our Metaphorical Socks.
Episode 127-Soft IT Hands Sometimes life requires a delicate touch. Unfortunately, this is not one of those moments, so we have to buck up and put our soft IT hands through their paces. It’s not all manual labor, bruised knuckles, and sweaty brows, thankfully. There are some fresh feelings: pulling on a new pair of socks, the catharsis of beating… Read more →
126-We Manage To Not Screw Up An Interview With Alanis King – Staff Writer With Jalopnik
Episode 126- Cats, Hell and otherwise. Let’s have a construction discussion. Well, we did, and we do, and we need to continue to do so. Similar to seeing an entertainment center for what it is, a composition of bolts, wood, and glue, we see the automotive landscape for what it is. People, cars, personalities, unity as well as its fair… Read more →
125-Dave And Ian Surprise Each Other And We Fly Too Close To The Parts Desk On Wings Of Wax. And Fuses.
Episode 125 – Kids Icarus In the psychological realm the term projection is used to describe a scenario in which you interpret someone’s emotions or actions in a way that describes something that you are truly feeling yourself. In this week’s show, we blatantly use a random Audi vanity plate as inspiration for a new automotive term. Are we correct?… Read more →
124-Ian Wants To Go Karting, Dave Wants To Go Karting, And We Discuss Ian’s Automotive Predicament
Episode 124-Ford STs and soap for men. People far smarter than us often exclaim that history is doomed to repeat itself unless we learn from it. What can we learn from our cars? Perhaps that like socks, they’re best changed often. Sticking to the same pair for years could only end in disappointment and shattered emotions? Let’s pick up the… Read more →
123-Dave Taps Out Of The Grand Tour, Ian Figures Out The BEST Autonomous Car Uses, And We Discuss The Clarkson Problem
Episode 123-Stickers and self-loathing What can we be doing as automotive enthusiasts to make our community more accessible? Unfortunately, there is no shortage of answers and on this episode we talk about things we’d like to hear less of and things we’d like to hear more of. On the lighter side, if you’re in Denver on January 14th, you should… Read more →
122-Ian Apologizes, Dave Leases His Life, And We Contemplate Enabling Poor Life Choices
Episode 122-Turns out Dave isn’t the worst… Ian stared into the abyss, and you know what looked back? A critical and certainly missed rest stop in his rear view mirror. Dave stepped to the precipice as well, and a peak plastic-era Chrysler stared RIGHT back at him through its dull headlight lenses and straight into the space where his soul… Read more →
