04.04.25 (MP3): Pure Garagesound - Maintenance Cleaning VS Show Detailing, Truck Bumpers & Trail Tires, Grenadiers & 4Runners, + Old Stereo Equipment, Lousy AI Ad Reads, Karma to Burn, the CA Car Duster & JF Summit #3
If you've got a year's worth of 'froading fun (ie: dirt) crammed into every corner of your truck, reaching a "perfect" clean might not be a thing. Instead, aim for "maintenance clean" - the body is rinsed off, the two-bucket method is in overdrive, the dirt is gone, and the rig is neat enough that you can go back to work fixing what you broke on-trail (or wash it again to a state of "show detailed"). The Garage Hour discusses how. We also chat about the need for a good fabrication guy, and why a good can of Krylon can be essential to your truckly appearance. There's also fun times with worn out electronics, worn out tires for White Mark the Diversity Hire's Grenader, worn out hi-po factory parts, and worn out old Metallica.

03.25.25 (MP3): Most Random Episode... .40S&W & .357 Sig (Boutique VS Fad), F:30 Redux & ACME Pickups, Camel Spiders & Vinegaroons, Mountains for 'Froading, Bad Laws in CA Jr (for Goading), + Dude Food: Meatloaf, Eatloaf, w/ Dunkels & Lagers @ Bierwerks
Hostus Maximus Justin Fort and White Mark the Diversity Hire got lost in the hills (and their minds) for this one: two-lane blacktop uphill to see our old friends at Freedom:30 Arms for some lasers and weirdo rounds spurred the conversation about what makes a bullet a boutique round instead of a fad, and why .40 Smith & Wesson has staying power versus Mark's freaky LE-favorite .357 Sig Sauer. We also get some Dude Food going, with a debate about how meat patties can be a loaf instead of a patty, and why the meat's more important than the shape of it. There's also mountains to four-wheel for the upcoming JF Summit (#3!), and which is worse (a question): camel spiders or vinegaroons, and what stick to hit them with in either case. Let's just blame our busy days for the shortage of episodes... The pace will get better (even if it doesn't look it). ...With Fluke, pistachios, Otter Boxes and redneck North Koreans, it's so much Garage Hour, even if we had the attention spans of a gnat for this one.

03.23.25 (MP3): UberSexy Vintage Benz Racer @ the Block, Fresh Recalls @ Foreign & Domestic OEs (Broken Batteries & Worn Wiring - Oh My), Making Electrics Worse w/ AI and/or Bureaucracy, Grounding in the Garden, + Sun Tea in Growlers & John Paul Jones
It's not hard to make fine gearhead talk (TM) when the world lines 'em up like this: wicked and nasty Mercedes W196R Stromlinienwagen nets $54 mill on the block (and why modern go-fast cars can't hold a candle to the brutal elegance and sexual attractiveness of the classics), more failures of modern OEs as they try to avoid testing their hardware before selling it (and why WE aren't going out like a guinea pig), how BYD's going to use AI to make their customer experience ever worse, another story about how nothing makes things worse than the government, and how to avoid letting bad writers ruin good opportunities for gearhead behavior. While we're at it: cyborgs versus robots, STi versus 911, securing your home with smart children (and a kid from Kentucky who did just that), gardening for the head, sun tea for the old growlers, John Paul Jones on "Zooma", and an Excellent Weirdo R.I.P. for Air Force ace Bud Anderson.
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.
