10.20.25 (MP3): 911s New & Old, Grenadier T-Cases Working & Popped, Trail Rigs Pricey & Parts, & All About the Sauce - Real Deal's Bloody Mary, Pizza Port's Chronic Amber, + Adam Duce from Machine Head & Dennis Combs (Luckiest Man in the World)
Between so many interruptions - the politicking and the Chinese food, phone calls from friends and parts percolating in the garadtch - White Mark the Diversity Hire and Hostus Maximus Justin Fort were lucky to get through this one at all. What's in it? Skyrocketing values of old 911s and the cost of our buddy the Doc's new pistachio GT2; strange new clunks in the new Grenader; comfortable old clunks in a 300K 4Runner. Then it's all about the sauce: the Real Dill's Bloody Mary mix, Pizza Port's Chronic Amber Ale, Stone Brewing in Pt. Loma, and the return of Gilark Bourbon with batch #6 (vanilla and maple and oh so smooth) Then it's the fun outside interestingness that makes the Garage Hour more than human: Mark's pal Adam Duce of MachineHead, Justin's pal Jaimz of Off-Road.com, Dennis Combs (the Luckiest Man in the World) and tales of brine shrimp and junk bonds, plus Sen. McCarran versus Harry Reid, warthog moats, JF Summit 4, Fatso Jetson and the Truckfighters.

10.15.25 (MP3): Curvy Roads & ATVs Necessitate Skills & Brains (...& They're Not Always Enough), Car Fads' Functionality Fail, a (VW) Buzz No One Wants, Big Boy 4014 Thunders Back for 2026, What's the Guardian of Liberty?, Sunken Treasure, + Amon Tobin
Some marginal catching up going on here; more episodes in the queue... What's in it? Car fads like the BMW 3-Series, Audi 5000 and SAAB 900s versus electric cars, and how the electric car fad is coming to grief over its feasibility issues (couldn't help ourselves); a microcosm of plug-in car failures in the Volkswagen Buzz (and why no one's buying the hype because it doesn't match the myth - or reality - of the original VW Bus). There's curvy road fun (and failure) with Colorado's fabulous, famous and frightening 550 - a nice job by Zebulon Pike - and why you shouldn't try to mess with your phone when a right turn starts with a 300ft curb. We also take a somber moment to discuss being safe with your ATV because it's easy to get yourself killed on a quad or snowmobile, even when you've got the money of a Lending Tree CEO or the skillset of a Ken Block. Risk takes brains and skill, and even that ain't always enough (...'Tis better to hit the deer than miss the road). There's more about Big Boy 4014's plans for a coast-to-coast run in 2026, sunken treasure from Florida's Treasure Coast, Blackbeard, Tommy Thompson and the S.S. Central America, the French pick a winner with the Guardian of Liberty, a new door kills an old finger, plus Amon Tobin rolls tracks throughout; with details on albums and soundtracks (just "Like Regular Chickens").

09.15.25 (MP3): Geek Out w/ Purpose & Get Stuff Done - Dad's Duck Decoy, Opening New & Old Roads, Burning Electric Cars & Batteries, Cyber Attacks on Beer, Dude Food & Lying Burgers, + Revisiting Amelia Earhart's End & Fighting Paralysis of Analysis
Holy frijoles - mind the gap and pardon the delay. Too many doins are afoot and we owe you a few (episodes). Right here's another one from the pile, with a caffeine rodeo on the back of projects getting done. Point is, figure the next step and do it - dudes do, after all, and geeks get it done. There's tales of fine woodworking, failing lithium-ion deathpods, a decent beer 'n burn, and when it's all done, strategies for a righteous nap. Plus that up with a Garage Hour Reload that digs back into the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan and why T.I.G.H.A.R. and Gardner Island probably still hold the key. But wait: Kipple's back, Mt. Dew and Hostess apple pies never left, someone's messing with beer, China's messing with Burma, real eatin' with some proper Dude Food, and real messaging for fake meat (and why a veggie burger ain't as bad as one of those new fake-meat cancer patties). Also, how about a classy sendoff for Dr. Demento?
50,000 watts of gearhead terror. We're the talk radio blowtorch you want, chock-full of cars, trucks, beers and guns since 2009. We'll be your go-to for gearhead get-some, full of the sliciest canyon carving, dirtiest off-roading, biggest calibers, hairiest sasquatches, loudest explosions, plus the best epic fails, smoking rubble and blue-collar awesomesauce since Top Gear full of beer.
