Hank Watson's Garage Hour Podcast

You can't get this kind of awesomeness without a warrant (or a prescription). This Garage Hour does geek right, with a firearm-friendly amendment in Iowa, big AM-talk in San Diego (board-ops, fer shur), the risk science poses to senseless sinners, why New Yorkers are scared shedless of chintzy scooters from pinko China (apartment flambé, anyone?), and why Kevin Bacon can't hold a candle to our "Two Degrees from a Cutlass" theory. There's also some reminiscence about a client with a private dirt-oval, and an exposé of what happens to your skillset when the electro-nannies start doing your legwork. But wait! the Gearhead Consultancy also explains the "Drowning Man" theory, and we take a look at how the thugly F.B.I. is taking a rope to the progenitor of Dreamland Resort (.com) and his affection for Area 51. There's also Machines of Loving Grace, Goatsnake, St. Vitus, Five Horse Johnson, Primus and Air.

It's another pile of gearhead supersauce. ...Learning to read vehicle dynamics and understand where your car's "squish" is (and some thoughts on how to tune that thing so it goes left and right right). ...How Occum's Razor applies to traffic "circles" (the illustrious round-about, another thing that should have stayed in England) and why people keep dying on them. ...The basic math of salt water + electric components + vacuous elites ("elite" at what, exactly?) = car goes BOOM and house goes FLOOM.  Also, a little bit of detail on how Kalifornistan has turned on Tesla (they can only take away what they gave you). Have some: Zach Wilde, Anthrax, drunk Jim Bowie, the Cadillac Eldorado, and RIP Dietrich Mateschitz.

These aren't ideas you haven't had, but the Gearhead Coinsultancy got together in Black Forest with The Walkin' Dude to remind you why the basics matter with you've got one foot to spare between dropping 100ft into a washout and crawlin' the high side to your knobby-tired doom.  Easy things: truck-training your kids and dogs, knowing your rig's behavior under duress, managing yourself and avoiding fatigue, as well as dumping the ego at the trailhead so you don't wind up an instructional video. Because there's always more: Dirty Harry and the Spanducci Speech, the Cell Phone Incident at FJ Summit, Fred's custom platform for him forum, and Eddyline's "Stay the Trail" Pale - a good beer but not always a good idea.

Yeahhhh, we've been slacking - too much on one plate.  No worries, though, because the Gearhead Consultancy got the Second Amendment episode screwed together that we've been promising you, and it's a deusie: everything from historic tales of armed citizens worldwide (and the dictators being dicts who disarmed them), background check fires, what the 3% actually looks like, and reinforcing your children's values to make them safe citizens and not a rat.  ...Because geeks need their freedoms, no matter the age. Also making an appearance: "Heavy Metal" (the movie) with Harry Canyon and good niborg, plus Coldwave Breaks and Scrabble with Justin.

Do YOU know better than to put propane in your Tesla's tires?  Do YOU know Teslas need special gas that doesn't come from the gas station?  ...Then YOU might be smarter than the college laureates who could buy one but not own them.  College... While we're at it: be nice to truckers (say it again, uh!), be wary of connecting your heater to your 'fridge to your A/C to your electricity (the internet of things or an appliance army marching towards your destruction?), and the story of a guy from New Jersey who was forced to crush his Cummins Dodge because it was for sale on Fakebook Marketface.  Yuuuuuup.  Don't say we didn't warn you (because we did, like, all the time ago).  Also, Karma to Burn, John Lee Hooker, Big Head Todd, Naked Funk, QOTSA, Skynyrd and the Allmans.

The Garage Hour would like to present you this barnyard of proclivities as gathered by Hostus Maximus Justin Fort on a cross-country dash to Mom's...  The transit quesiton: why do some folks think we should be regressing with electric cars and trucks?  The power question: who's going to want a car they can't fill up (brownouts, anyone?)?  ...And the control issue: what happens when there's so little power that the next neighborhood gets some but you don't?  Also, have some good mileage. Special guests include Durant from "Darkman", the Godwin Rule and Murray Gelman Amnesia Hypothesis, Chris Farley, plus some leftist efites and degree snobs.

Been slackin'!  Garage Hour's got too much on its plate, and we're chewing like mad to get back to you - in as-soon-as-it's-fixed gearhead time.  We've got some goodness for you here: more left-turn-on-green intersection violence (somebody's up to something) and a revisitation of Asimov's rules (technology's not on your side), speaker repair fun (geeks don't chuck it, they fix it), and how Ford's ruining decades of reputation by calling a failing electric pickup by a classic nameplate (hints of Mustang, anyone?). ...Then we liked this picture: There's also some bits - revisiting the Lexus LFA and fat Porsches, a guy eating chips while he Subies, Charles Bronson, plus the Rev (Heat), Masters of Reality, Megadeth, Puny Human, Whoregasm, Mindbomb and the Space Truckers.

Get wound up and the oddball icing stacks up.  From the accelerating failure of Ford's useless electric trucks (as heralded by the frauds at Autoweek) to a strange-by-creepy exposé of intersections that put traffic at odds (and who's in control of what), plus bearing witness to an in-situ near dive-bomb on law enforcement by a not-very-piloted Tesla...  With a late-night radio chaser from Red Eye, Nouri and Ground Zero - the Garage Hour is here to inform your non-consent. While we're at it: why what's missing from automakers is more than "chips", why defining your elitist fluffer-dream with your neighbors' taxes is pure fail, and the sadness that is Colorado's embrace of Kalifornistan's 40-year old stupidity.

We've got places to be!  Get out of the Garage Hour's way, because there's bike parts, buckets, lumber, hangars, tire irons, fuel cans, straps, chains, come-alongs, brooms, ducting, coolers, bungees and street signs to be found.  That, plus traffic's Accordion Effect, an iPod that knows where we're going, American-style legal reforms in a third-world jungle, and a whole lot of analysis about rich celebrities whose automobile is a social dowsing rod. While it's on the burner: cyborgs, driving fast (fastmobile then beverate), fixing solenoids by hitting them harder (damn Siamese port long-tubes), and securing your load before we get it for free.

(Not) lost in the woods with the gearhead goons - Hostus Maximus Justin Fort joins the Walkin' Dude at his Black Forest shop for an hour to work through finding the newest small-dollar commuter.  In this case, it's an $800 third-gen 4Runner, and we've got deets on how to find your own: what to look for, what's it "need", how to find the "panic point" and how a good truck CAN be more than the sum of its parts. There's more:  Primus, Claypool, John Paul Jones, Cumberland Gap, Monolord, Goatsnake, beers from Estes Park Brewery, Toyotas from Iran, Mustangs from Australia and Epstein didn't kill himself.
