Hank Watson's Garage Hour Podcast

Toyota corporate gets out against electric cars while Joe Basement plays down for the "struggle" (ahem, dog whistle?), impossible physics of UFOs (transmedium, anyone?) and WW2 gerry cans, giant TV screens and hot ads add to distracted driving (thanks, Ford)...  Why not double down and throw hot peppers in your eyes, (Hell) spoken poetry, and polymathematical paws (now, with thumbs).  Because gearhead! You're not going to repell firepower of this magnitude - from gearheads, cops, Jeepers and tops (not where they belong), it's the Garage Hour.

Put an ongoing gearhead and a retired agency guy on-air and there's no telling what will happen.  Drop them in a live setting (like Colorado's Trinity Brewing Company) and you'd better hide the cask.  Special guests include Tall Jon, First Jon and Clark's Beard. This time, it was a grand pile of geek speak, with specialized weapons, gerry cans, the Dude Food Beta Kitchen (with panko, crumbles and phone), Forsaken Bacon, plus beers like Raspberry Kolsch, Cask Flo, Slapricot and Slap Yer Berry.

A little bit of everything in this one...  US taxpayers get screwed by big gov't contractors (as well as the supremacy of the B-1B, F-35 and F-22), turbocharger fixes for Subaru Legacy Outbacks and the EJ-255 (JB Weld!), how two-fisted royal Prince Phillip created his own hearse with a custom Land Rover pickup, how green energy is destroying Germany one industry at a time, and the mess that is illegal-immigrant coyotes driving like crazy people to escape the border patrol and local law enforcement. There's more fun stuff:  peanut butter versus chocolate, wallet-sitting versus your income, and the schism between wanting a new (used) car and needing it.

One of those raining in the garadtch/lab in defilade/tech in freakout Garage Hour shows where an absolute pile of unthunk topics turn into really good gearhead radio.  Go figure: everything from the press-release media's attempts to paper over low repeat-purchase numbers for hybrids and electrics to great old parts boxes and what we find inside (inluding crashy bits from an otherwise great canyon run).  There's also kudos for the Japanese (that seems to be a theme lately) and a big raspberry for GM's plans to move another factory south of the border. There's also a few little kitties on the run route (plus bears, elk and a bobcat), the finalé for the $500 commuter, plans for wintermobile # next, and our effort to get another Blue mic now that we found this Yeti.

The Garage Hour's got gearhead news (because people seem to like it), so hereyago: - DC carkackings, lousy "expert" drivers, Ryan Hampton on lousy journalist drivers, and police who shouldn't be street racing (because they're not very good). - More new-car suspension parts falling off, this time of Subies. - Why dependence on global markets is a bad thing. - More tales of why Tesla's Auto Creepy-Drive is a bad thing. - Beer with Full Sail's Session Lager. Just to keep it awesome, we've also got Schroedinger's garbage can, Uber versus your phone, the Magnusson-Moss Warranty act, bricked electrics and fixing Sylvester Stallone with a hammer.

...Crammed it all into this one.  Script writer: go script yourself.  With a device-thwarting free-news cable-cobbling in-lab intro, this is classic Garage Hour goodness.  Better hydrate.  Fried cheese curds, cheating Chinese Teslas, F1 or circle-track, Bilstein 5100 and 6112 on under your 4Runner, de-Wayneing the NRA, U.S. bombers in India and John Ratcliffe's UFOs. Even more: Body Armor?  Drank it.  Flopping tablets?  Fixed 'em.  Affirmative action for F1?  Figures.  '60s Chicaco P.D.?  Need 'em.  The greys?  Found 'em.

From haversacks to FIPG, Boogerbutt and B-sides, booing Seinfeld and ewwing Yuengling, Justin #2's Tourette's and the curdish (cheese) apocalypse, UZIs and a .38 in the briefcase, plus donations to the Cajun Navy and situational awareness, it's an alchivated Garage Hour (now, with beer!).  This episode was originally oriented towards fine sips at Trinity Brewing and some discussion of good tactics for buying and selling things online and/or in the flesh, but you know detours...  Admit it, you prefer them.  #BecauseGearhead.

Surprisingly good gearhead talk radio right here (and it's pure rando-power): you can't fight skill of this magnitude without a prescription (or a warrant).  There's pork shoulder on the grille and Richard III's skeleton under the parking lot, a thought or two on United Airlines hiring people because of their ability to fly to Duluth, and a reminder that it's tool time (spring means folks have the fool notion their garages are meant to be clean). Like always, it's more: the Psychonauts, Josh Homme (with Kyuss or QOTSA), soccer with Nelson & Bambalas, snowboarding with Teresa & Bondurant, Aunt Lou's Fiestaware and stickers by Freeb.

Creepy pinko nerds have infested the White House and they're after your liberties, particularly your right to roam. Among them is a second-generation marxist and small-town mayor who couldn't get potholes paved, Pete Buttgieg. While preaching his gospel, he made the mistake of saying the quiet part out loud, admitting he and his statist cronies want to track every mile you drive and CHARGE YOU FOR IT. Not on our watch - the Gearhead Consultancy has warned you about the "mileage tax" for a decade. Hostus Maximus Justin Fort was having a bad day on this episode, so enjoy the ride - he didn't. There's a lot of information and unbridled finger-pointing in this one too, so you might learn something.

It's time for gearhead class: smart thinking for your next run to the salvage yard (Junkyard 102!).  At the intersection of knowledge and function is the junkyard (Best Auto, this time) you too can be the function whore.  From impounds to rebuilds, rotating stock and picking up nuts and bolts, we'll help you know what's usable and what's junk (hah!). This episode's got a good slathering of additional sauce: Chef Jeff and Dave Lozeau, Fu Manchu and New Jersey brunos, plus Breck Brew's Vanilla Porter.
