Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns

Vintage Garage Hour reload for you: vintage cohosts Dirty Dave and Grizzly Chris show how digression is done in this episode, which reminds you why the Garage Hour's old slogan was "Intriguing or Offensive, but Never Boring". Let's keep this simple: Like dirty trucks? Used truck parts? Rallycross? Used car logic? Pike's Peak? Cars that make you ugly? How about WW2 history? "Panther Soup"? Tanks? Fortresses? Blowing things up? How about politics? Khadaffi, Madoff, Dilbert, New Jersey, Commies and their holidays, or Monty "Walled Him Up In the Old Coke Oven" Burns, or Cash for Clunkers? We've got it. Come get it.

The Garage Hour goons got together at Helix Brewing for a late-night chat under the stars. You can hear the freeway and WRXs going by at speed (with an HKS tweet!), you can hear the earth breathing, and you can hear the Diesel Ayatollah and Rob from Facetagram sensation "SD Beer Tour" chat about gears and beers with Hostus Maximus Justin Fort. So much good stuff. Gearhead? This episode has crotch rockets at speed, taking care of your 12-volt battery, pride of ownership and why gearheads take better care of their bits, wenches in the garage, truck poseurs versus gas mileage, off-roading for the Persieds (and dragging a Prius behind), adaptable 4Runners, Palomar Mountain's curves, and going fast versus going too fast (and when is which). Beers? San Diego's very own Helix Brewing, Mosaicaholic, Stoner Moment and the Red Rufus, San Diego's beer fests in September, hazy versus lazy, and a little preamble of Helix's second birthday party on August 26.

Hey, it's summer - too much gearheadventure to be had. We're back now, though, with miles in our eyes, dust on our tunics and gristle in our teeth. Well, not gristle, really, more like bacon. But we're back. The Garage Hour goons joined our buddies from Helix Brewing to record a live "Where's Garage Hour?" special at this year's San Diego Beer & Music Fest. Joined on-air and in person by local brewers like Belching Beaver and Julian Hard Cider, the Diesel Ayatollah, .45 Phil and Silent Craig whipped out a great gearhead chat with Hostus Maximus Justin Fort. What about? The beer scene in San Diego, independent beers versus industrial pet loss-leader beer, new restaurants, cider versus beer, the secret story of Julian's apple pie (It's made with people!), and why people at beerfests wear pretzel clothing. The Garage Hour goons also make their way to a few of the 50-plus brewers at the SD Beer & Music Fest, and we tell you about what we drank. It's because we care. Speaking of because, because the folks with Helix were so damn busy at this event, we were unable to capture them for radio time, so we Bogarted Andy from the Beaver and Brian from Julian Hard Cider to join us on-air instead. It's great radio about great beer - who are you to resist? Justin case you aren't just a beerhead, yes, we'll always be gearheads. There's our recurring love affair with the mystery of Amelia Earheart's disappearance, e-locked Tacos, beer powers, Bob "Red Catfish" Failner, cirrhosis of the fescue, flare wrenches, the alcohol app, low-flying aircraft (DUCK!), and the never-ending saga of brake bleeding. Because beerhead, except because gearhead.

'Tis the season for fine beers and high-mountain off-roading. We did a little better with the succulent sipping on this episode, however, because the Garage Hour and its goons were at Helix Brewing Co. in La Mesa's little industrial district (where the road goes in a circle but the beer just goes). Hostus Maximus Justin Fort (He Who Speaks the Sharpest) is joined by the Diesel Ayatollah (The One With Too Many Trucks), Rob (He Who Sips Everywhere) from SDBeerTour - as found on Instagram - and the brewmaster himself, Cameron from Helix Brewing (He Who Makes the Best) for an hour of crowd-fueled gearhead talk. There's beers - what's C-Ball's making (including the new "Bomb, Hop Bomb" and "Centinale"), plans for his fine leather-bound collection of sours, and what he's got up his sleeve for the Great American Beer Festival in Colorado. Then the going gets truckier, because Rob, Justin and the Diesel Ayatollah get after trail and rock season, old 4Runners and older CJ-5s. There's also a chat about Humble Farmer Brewing's Carrot Ale (made in Holtville, CA), and what it takes for a enthusiast-fueled Instagram page like Rob's "SDBeerTour" to hit 1500 followers just by drinking. On the plus side, because we missed the Ferdfull of truck buggery that had been planned for this episode, there should be a dually's share of it in the next show. Oh, and we still owe you guns - promise.

Some good beer-on-radio gearhead talk for you… The Garage Hour goons get together with our other favorite brewery in the East County's Circle of Hops to sip and chat rock, bikes and beers. We usually record at Helix Brewing Co. in La Mesa, but they were ultra-busy with a new wave of beers, so Hostus Maximus Justin Fort, Chef Jeff and the lovely Karen dropped in at Burning Beard Brewing in El Cajon to hang out with 1/2 of the outfit's dynamic duo, Mike Maass. This episode is heavy on the music and the beer to go with it, and we have good debates about ingredients, beer styles, concerts in SoCal, bands that matter, and single versus double-bass. Beard also announces their pairing of a tap takeover at the Pizza Port in Solana Beach with a Sword show at the Belly (Corporate) Up on July 18. We also chase details of the secret tracks on the epic Beard jukebox, Owner #2's (Jeff) pursuit of Liberace, Menudo and New Kids on the Block, and whether Al Jourgenson and Ministry opened for Bing Crosby or Soundgarden first. Then, it's all about side effects: tapeworms, loss of etiquette and projectile leprosy.

Why does it feel like being a gearhead makes us a target? Cars, trucks, beers or guns, they're all in the sights of the politicians in Sacramento, and you should be worried. What's wrong with a government bureaucracy that levies more and more taxes and fees on an overtaxed (literally and figuratively) electorate? How can a state with some of the most burdensome regulations on auto and vehicle ownership create more? Why do politicians in the capitol of California behave like they don't want citizens to enjoy the constitutional freedoms guaranteed them? Does it look to you like the leftist elitists in Sacramento have figured out that the time's running out on their party? In this episode, Hank Watsons's Garage Hour and Hostus Maximus Justin Fort take an hour to pull back some of the curtains shrouding the scary statists who've been chaperoning the pending failure of the third-world cleptobureaucracy of Kalifornistan, and how the Big Gov't policies of these "Democrat" progressives and statists have taken direct aim at our wallets, our hobbies and our cars. Don't be low-info: the Gearhead Consultancy is here to help. The Garage Hour's got insight into the precipitously unglued bureaucratic mindset of politicians and quasi-governmental institutions that are running the state like drunks at a liquor sale. This is not a drill: CA's coming after you, and the taxes and fees that Sacto has once again levied in the face of every reason not to are yet another sign of the pending Fool's Apocalypse.

The Garage Hour's Gearhead Consultancy talks truck parts and the third-world cleptobureaucracy of Kalifornistan's latest plan to screw its taxpayers right out the door over new beers and the new brewer at Helix Brewing Co. This Helix-homebase episode is a choose-your-own-adventure special: 1. Like beer? We've got the FNG: Mike Schlerethenbergenhofer (that's how HE spelled it), who talks hops like Idaho 7 (powering the new Hop Bomb) and HPC 369 and 342, which underpin other on-tap creations by head brewer CamBall. Oh, yeah, and Cameron got a haircut, which will offset his fancy surfer abs when he brews shirtless - you heard it here, ladies. 2. Like trucks? There's trucks. Big brakes and where to get them (Mexico versus China), bleeding brakes and whether brake fluid is flammable (apparently not), and blown rings in a master cylinder. Then it's diesels, functionality and the cost of buying old versus the penalty of buying new. Oh, and apparently urea is bad for you AND for your truck. 3. Like guns? We review a day at the range with Active Shooter Defense School and sometime cohost and full-time hardcase Matt Klier, and then get into the Weaver stance (think Miami Vice) versus Matt's isosceles stance (think Special Forces). 4. Like always, there's the fact that whether or not you are interested in politics, politics is interested in you (especially in the Garage Hour's home state of panic that is CA). The statist creeps that have infested the capitol just passed a few more up-yours laws, like a huge increase in gas and diesel fuel taxes. And, just when they hybrid and electric car owners thought they were safe because they'd drunk the Kool-Aid, Gov. Spongebrain Brownpants and his low-info zealots included fees for them, too. Flee while you can.

Sorry about the slow uploading - too much work to do. Got to pay the bills. Lots of new Garage Hour coming in May. This vintage reload is all about the 'froadin: we have near-death experiencer Cliff-Diving Dave in-studio to talk about how he's not dead, despite his Jeep's best efforts to fling him off a cliff on Saddleback in Orange County. Seriously, above-the-clouds cliff. Fortunately, there were a bunch of Toyotas nearby to save him. Dave #1 and Dave #4 join in the usual Garage Hour fare after that: V8 BMW M3s versus V-10 Dodges, homologation versus homos, Speedvision versus Fox and Fox Network versus gearheads, the Isle of Mann Tourist Trophy, historic road racing on Torrey Pines, off-roading in San Diego, plus sasquatches and bears and what caliber is better than a .22LR (all of them). Then we counsel Cliff-Diving Dave about tow points and off-roading with friends, and then it's off to Ballas with Dollas for Gamblothon at Barona Drags. Because gearhead.

We've got your microaggression right here, plus the other kinds. In a rare two-hour Garage Hour, tonight's contestants invaded Dustin V.2's Jeep Kitchen for a good sipping session, and then let a radio show break out. If you like hot-boxing your CBR1000RR or arguing about four-wheel drive versus all-wheel drive, THIS is an episode for you. Share our theory about "two-degrees from the Olds Cutlass"? Wish your World Class T-5 didn't need rebuilding? Getting sick of the fools and poseurs who think they're off-roaders because they dropped $20Gs on a new side-by-side? Like a good night run to whereabouts unknown? Think a vehicle should go 'froading because it says Jeep on it? Want to self-identify as a rich guy when your bank account has the genes of a SoCal homeowner? Tired of stepping over automotive victim groups? Want to laugh when people start prepping now that Trump's the president? Yes, have some Garage Hour There's a lot of good stuff in this one. The Bearded Wonder. FJ Summit. AMC VS Jeep. Loose bolts. Mr. Dustin versus Dustin V.2. Brake lines. Burnout shrapnel. V8-powered FJ60s. Harmonic unbalancers. 4Runner mods and fixes. Music by Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold (and Sevendust), Skynyrd and KMFDM. This is a BS-proof show, cats and kiddies. Remember, it's when the nut behind the wheel comes loose that you've got a problem.

Long-lost Garage Hour found: you've got it right here. It's one of our auto-detailing specials, with everything from crappy clear coats, clear versus enamel, polishing by hand versus machine, professional detailers versus amateurs, the danger sauce that is dish soap, dish soap versus auto wax, microfiber, majorfiber, meltofiber, carnauba, the two-bucket maneuver, cotton versus polymer, chasing drips with compressed air, clay bar and clay elbow, plus Mothers Polish, Griot's Garage (Hour) and San Diego's Chemical Brothers. There's also new Dodges and used Evos, track ZR-1s and trailed Jeeps, Smart cars, dumb 'Vette flags, a bacon smoothie, the Indian Garage Hour (weird), Terry Crews and Old Spice ads (funny), rock and industrial and down-tempo lushbeat (Dog Fashion Disco, Ozzy Osbourne and Amon Tobin), one of the Garage Hour's Villains Cage Matches (Hannibal Lecter beats Scorpio), a 'Squatch Run, board-opp humor and the Bilstein Boys.

Just add gearhead! The Garage Hour goons gathered in Dustin v2's garage for an hour of broken parts - Toyota AND Jeep (who knew?), shouldered bolts and Loctite's new "Black Hold" supersauce, wall urinals for convenient garage peeing, salvage nails and screws, Jeep V8s (and the blown ones littering Dustin v2's garage), and the wonder that is a garage being remodelled around a CJ-7 being rebuilt. This was in tandem with the show's look back at the 2017 Superstition Run, which contributed to the pile of broken bits. Because we're such big fans of microagression (as well as the other kind), we also snowflaked it up with Jeep V8s, failed half-shafts, oil loss, broken plumbing, broken femurs, Kalifornistan versus Arizonafforable, and how the six-cylinder WJ Selectrac can be adapted to replace the V8 Quadratrac. Reality bubbled back to the fore, thankfully, and everything from buying ourselves a hardware store in Silverton to renting ourselves a warehouse in San Diego came up as the gearhead goons spread logic all over the place. Rock and roll backing this triumphant expression of gearheadulation includes 16 Volt, Prong and Ministry.

Long-lost Garage Hour awesomeness right here: gearhead friend of the show Mark Deadrick joined Hostus Maximus Justin Fort and Dirty Dave for an episode, and he brought along his punk/talk/DJ buddy of note, Mike Halloran. Then Halloran tries (and fails, thankfully for fans of cars, trucks, beers and guns) to take over the show, and a pretty damn good episode ensues. Because gearhead. Not firstly, but first, the rock and/or roll that has been rendered one of the Garage Hour's cornerstones is called into question by longtime airplay savant Halloran, so a running debate of whether if/which/how tracks are rolled in the background of every episode infects every other stage of the show. Some punk and garage rock goodness percolates to the surface, including My Life with the Thrill Kill Cult, SOMA, Stone Foxes, Beauty Bar, and Mark's old band, Sweat Engine. But gearhead. Surprisingly, there's a ton of good automotive chatter in this episode as well - somewhat unlike the occasional Garage Hour that goes off to live in the digression. Automotive design, Acura's beaks versus Caddy's creases, Pontiac's G8, little Benzes and Audis, car designs of the eras, commuting in the rain, street-riden old 'Glides versus Halloran's "Shriner Bike", F1 in Abu Dhabi, Schumacher in a Mercedes, bugeye versus hawkeye Subies, and GM versus Tiger Woods versus Ambien. Then someone complained about Jeeps and Dirty Dave had to defend his Miata. Go gearhead.

Live from San Diego's Circle of Hops (yes, that's a thing now), the Garage Hour goons - with everyone from .45 Phil, Chef Jeff & Ms. Karen, to the Diesel Ayatollah and our newest cohost, Vinnie the Screw (or Drywall Vinnie - we can't decide) joining Hostus Maximus Justin Fort - chat up Helix Brewing's primary and head keg wiper Cameron Ball about his luscious selection of finely crafted beers. From there, it's all gearhead: bullets and tornados and flooding, but hey, it's got beer and guns. And trucks - surely someone said "diesel" at some point. We free Cam Ball's taste buds from beer jail for long enough to try a suite of his finest ales, including his Pale, the piece of art that is Galaxy Rye, Active IPA, the latest - and most subtle - batch of Stoner Moment, a creamy Honor Not Inner stout on nitro, while .45 Phil gets outside of the last keg of the sublime Pumpkin Basic. Beer vibes included beer honesty and beer fun, which then detours into why home stilling might blow up your garage. There's also .45 Phil's dissertation on Laotian HVAC guys in San Diego (way more interesting than you'd think), hot places from Thailand to Iraq, making an FAL run like you plan to take over a small third-world nation, FAL and Luger ergonomics, RIPs for recently deceased SEAL Team 6 SSgt Bill Owen, tarps, flooding at NASSCO, what kind of ruckus is a Helix ruckus, bone tours, and America's newest anarchist, Uncle Donald, and how he plans to go tiger mom on the state of California's gun banning troglodyte horde in Sacramento. Should be a show. We certainly are - grab some Garage Hour, and we'll see you in the garage.

There's also .45 Phil's dissertation on Laotian HVAC guys in San Diego (way more interesting than you'd think), hot places from Thailand to Iraq, making an FAL run like you plan to take over a small third-world nation, FAL and Luger ergonomics, RIPs for recently deceased SEAL Team 6 SSgt Bill Owen, tarps, flooding at NASSCO, what kind of ruckus is a Helix ruckus, bone tours, and America's newest anarchist, Uncle Donald, and how he plans to go tiger mom on the state of California's gun banning troglodyte horde in Sacramento. Should be a show. We certainly are - grab some Garage Hour, and we'll see you in the garage.

The Garage Hour goons did a slow troll through the halls of San Diego's International Auto Show, but the fireworks didn't hit until they got back to the garadtch. They also tried to get HCM Carbon and California Motorsports on-air with us at the show, but the exorbitant table-rental fees levied by the show-hall unions meant they couldn't even afford to sit down. On new cars: what's small is bigger, what's tested in steel is tried in aluminum, what's electric becomes efficient, and what's ugly was far too many. Luckily, there's still a high-Q selection of pretty metal coming from dealerships near you, so don't fret. Dirty Dave made a rousing defense of Miatas come and gone, but his protestations regarding the new big Volvo fell on poorly manufactured Chinese ears. Majid from GSR Car finally got a nickname (Diesel Ayatollah), and he was a serious threat in the second inning on the issue of Kia's robot triathlete chaser, the Rino (did we spell that right?). Hostus Maximus Justin Fort argued the logic of making cars with less content more expensive, and espoused on the coming fall of Elon Musk's government-funded pyramid scheme. From that point, it devolved into the usual Garage Hour spectacularity: far-ranging conversations about Germans in hotted-up station wagons, the practicality of carbon-fiber wheels, cleaning guns with diesel fuel, what medication is necessary for Miatosis, the shame that is market-engineering cars with genres that only make sense to two people at a time, the Volvette, the new turbo'd 2.3-liter Mustang, and why idiots getting stoned at the Pike's Peak are very economical. The beer was pouring, with the show graced by Helix Brewing's red, Garage Brewing's Marshmallow Stout and Leiny's Grapefruit Shandy, and there will be a second hour of ale-fueled coverage to follow this episode - stay tuned (because gearhead).

Somewhere between a hungry gearhead and the toolbox is the Garage Hour: so much good stuff. Beginning with beer at the Pizza Port, carrying through to how to outfit your personal castle with turrets, and landing on tanks and mines and machine guns for your neighbors, the intro serves up a fine compliment of the best piece of show since Top Gear full of beer. Speaking of Top Gear, the Garage Hour goons reminisce about a few episodes (does anyone else's head hurt?), and then it's on to tanks in World War 1 and TVRs at World War 2 airports in England. The Nissan Leaf and its taxpayer bungling and general government giveback thievery take over the conversation from there, only to be wiped out by the wonderment that is Dude Food: yes, have some. Minds are detoured to the fine fried fair fare of the Del Mar Fair, but get back on track with DMS and Mitsu product being banged against the local Mustang crowd at Barona 1/8-mile drags before returning to tortillas, baloney, hack brown quiches, the Destroying Angel, the Grease Mutant and a proper marinade. The episode is also graced with the presence of Ozzy Osborne, Led Zeppelin and the Deftones, then visits with the Trenchcoat Mafia and how it ruined the goth scene combined with your long, painful relationship with lighting. It all ends on F1 and Sebastian Vettel's giant head, but hey, that thing's yuge - how can't we?

Good food and bad motorcycles accidents, plus trucks and cars and shooting holes in things: it must be the Garage Hour. Skully and low-brow artist Dave Lozeau joined Hostus Maximus Justin Fort in the studio for this pre-holiday festival of gearhead supersauce, and Yes, there were mopeds: how to jump them, how to fix them, how to swallow your pride and look cool despite the fact that they'll always be silly. Speaking of our world-famous Dude Food experiments in manly dining, the Garage Hour goons get into the weeds with carne asada, flap steak, fajitas, luau-style turkeys cooked in-ground, and the cohosts describe making peppers & onions carne and the world-infamous homepie (what's basically cooking on a caveman version of the Foreman Grill). As we promised, though, there's a flatbed full of motorcycle and moped chatter in this episode. V-Maxes are dropped, mopeds parked in hedges, Triumphs not ridden to Harley cruises, cool biker leather jackets and Jesse James versus Robert Ford. On top of the two-wheel talk, the host also gets after some auto-business news and makes another powerful (and powerfully accurate) Garage Hour prediction: following Chrysler's gift to the FIAT unionists in Europe by President Badidea Obama, in only a few years, Jeeps will be sold with FIAT underpinnings… Surprise! It's already come true.

One of the Garage Hour's original brewery shows, live from the Pizza Port Carlsbad's Real Ale Festival. Beer technology, beer tastes, beer names, beer sours and beer brewing: it's an Hour at the Port, complete with brewmaster Diamond Jeff Bagby, skully and lowbrow artist Dave Lozeau, Dirty Dave, Grizzly Chris, Mr. Dustin and Hostus Maximus Justin Fort. Aiming for center-mass bottom, the Garage Hour goons are off to the races in short order once the fine beers from the P'Port start pouring: bad movies, Big Trouble in Little China, Groundhog Day, Libyans and their gigawatts, beer umbrellas, bombs over Berlin and how to explode them, and the true definition of "ABV" (Absolute Booze Volume). It's not all dumpster dives, though: there's a heartfelt thanks to US veterans for the close-at-hand Memorial Day and a list of warfighters who turned out to be celebrities (guess which branch Chuck Norris was in), and the show pretends to have hope that Jerry "30 Years Ago I Was Moonbeam, Now I'm Just Old" Brown will lose the coming gubernatorial election against Meg "Dreadful" Whitman.

Ahhhh, so yum. The Garage Hour trips out of its home base at Helix Brewing in La Mesa, KA, to visit with another Circle of Hops brewer of note, Burning Beard. 'Beard primaries Jeff "Get a Haircut" Weideker and Mike "Tape Deck" Maass join Chef Jeff and Hostus Maximus Justin Fort for an hour of beers, music, guns, and something about the Titanic and World War 1. Because gearhead. Bear with: we're just getting going. From a broad sampling of sips from the 'Beard's taps, the beerfans at the Garage Hour steer Jeff and Mike into a chat about good holiday beers, the importance of keeping true to a recipe, why Ms. Pac-Man is a hazard to brewers worldwide, and how to avoid lumbersexuals ruining your sideburns. There's also a fine pile of audio review as only the Garage Hour can provide: from Alice in Chains to Mastodon, ELP to the Edgar Winters Group ("Die, you chalk-faced goons!"), Kurt Cobain, Gogol Bordello and King Crimson, plus Tool and Kashmir covers, we've got it. Finally, after the guns, A.S.D.S., cohost Matt Killer and more props to Helix Brewing, the guys and gals get down to what matters most: the movies we watch on Christmas Day.

You can't have this sort of awesome without a license, or a warrant: it's the Garage Hour and their goon-approved truckload of gearhead goodness. To keep things level, in this show, we chased one of our Superstition Mountain episodes with a primer for the big Tierra del Sol off-road jamboree: thousands of trucks and tens of thousands of 'froading fans on one excellent piece of terrain in the SoCal desert. What's not to love? Certainly not the raffle, because that's excellent - who doesn't need $115,000 in free parts? That, plus Driveshaft Hill, the Gulches, the Notches and the lovely, scenic Salton Sea. The Garage Hour crew stays true to form in this one, with attacks on bad media, their lousy non-coverage of the fools fat-footing their cars into the bushes and off of cliffs, and why you need to have your brains turned on when you plan to film your next drifting, burnouting or truck-jumping protofail… It's the Garage Hour, kids, we're here to help. Have some.

It started with trucks (and what ain't), but like any good party, the Garage Hour rarely winds up where it began. If you like trucks, hate cars, have a soft spot for Jeeps, are looking for a checklist of what's a truck, or just can't bring yourself to count all the Honda Ridgelines in the Starbucks parking lot, have we got a show for you. Joined at Helix Brewing (drinkhelix.com) by a few of the Cohosts of Gearhead Superiority, Hostus Maximus Justin Fort chats all the way through "What's truck" to "Who's a corruptopotamus?" with Active Shooter Defense School's Matt Killer and Miss Pinkerton (ASDSchool.com) - who can honestly say "Hillary Killed My Friends" - and Majid Gol, owner and operator of Global Resource Remarketing (GSRCar.com - need truck?). Like we said, it's not all trucks, but at least we tried. What's a wagon? Unibody versus frame? Do beds matter? Are transformers hiding in plain sight as Chevy Avalanches? Can a Toyota be a truck? But, because we digress (says so right here), how can a talk show full of real people not take some shots at the dangerously fraudulent Usurper of Reality that is the dead-end voting government worshippers of the political left? We get to it all. Well, no, that's not true, but the Garage Hour goons sure managed to get a pizza delivered during the recording of this episode.

This classic Garage Hour reload brings RJ from San Diego 4-Wheelers into the studio to talk through the upcoming Superstition Mountain Run. Trails, terrain, rocks, sand (and the legendary Sand Dam), raffle prizes, and the family-friendly goodness that off-roading at Superstition. How about cool desert junk? XJs versus TJs and Jeep's 4.0 versus the new minivan-based V6? Crawling on the starter, crawl ratios, knobby tires and the Blue Angels, tire pressure and power tanks, winches, trail recovery, Town & Country neutral drops, 'Vette flag clutch burnouts, boba 4Tundras, and the upcoming first-ever Econobox Rally.

Do you like beer? Do you like Bond? Well, then this is your favorite episode of the Garage Hour and you haven't even listened yet. Skully/lowbrow/Day-Dead artist Dave Lozeau and Garage Hour host and gearhead savant Justin Fort team up in the Lozeau studios to take an X-Acto knife to James Bond movies across the ages, all of it powered by local beers. What's on tap? Bond's Lotus and Bond's Citroen, the brutality of Sean Connery versus the femininity of Daniel Craig, why Roger Moore was the best Bond, why Pierce Brosnahan missed the mark, Bond misogyny versus bad women, and the movie-stealing genius that was Sheriff JW Pepper. Oh yeah, plus Jaws, Jaws, Jaws, Octopussy, Blofeld, Stromberg, A View to a Kill, Walken, Kronstein, From Russia With Love, Diamonds are Forever, Mr. Winn and Mr. Kidd, the voodoo guy, For Your Eyes Only, Skyfall, Yaphet Kotto, Man with the Golden Gun, Christopher Lee (ala Scaramanga), The Spy who Loved Me, and Live and Let Die. There's also beer: Helix's RNA red, Wavelength's hibiscus red, Cali Creamin' and the Creamin' black & tan, and Garage Brewing's Orange Vanilla Creme Ale. Shaken into the mix are trick toes, gearhead art, Miami Vice (how about a Miami Vice episode?), X-Acto knives (duhh), apricots (don't put them in tanks), aliens, Ripley (dog or alien), Deadbolt (because rockabilly), black licorice, tactical training with Matt Klier at ASDS (because home-defense awesomeness), and more bad transitions than you can shake a paper silhouette at.

Now that's a Garage Hour - all beer, all the time (well, there was some rock & roll too, but we know you like it). Hostus Maximus Justin Fort brings beer friends (and fine brewers in their own right) Mike "Underinsured" Maass and Jeff "Flex" Weideker of Burning Beard Brewing (burningbeardbrewing.com) to Helix Brewing in lovely, scenic, unmolested industrial La Mesa, where they're joined by the brain behind (and in front of) this up-and-coming brewer, Cameron "Deep" Ball (drinkhelix.com). Together, the gearhead brain trust reassembles like a buzzed Autobot and talks Helix's first-year celebration and the custom sauce they'll have on tap, the science of beer, the good stuff that goes into it, how to avoid kersploding a keg line all over the walk-in, beer sap, brewing with barrels, and the business of beer in the second-world vulture taxation trainwreck that is Kalifornistan. Where to start? Helix had just released their second batch of Mosaicoholic ("Moe's Tavern?"), this on the heels of the wildly popular Stoner Moment (it's got real stoner in it), and we taste both to discover that if you know what you're doing, too much hop might be just right. Ask Cameron, if you can find him. There's also talk of kegging and tanking and a litany of fun brewery moments that you only get when you gather the locals who are making a living of brewing beer. Mike and Jeff from 'The Beard also get a chance to chat up their freshly wet-hopped Circle of Wet Hops ale, which is to be followed (they assured us) by the second round of Rye the Lightning. While we're at it, who doesn't like to have tracks playing with a good sip? Yeah, no one, so we also discuss what rock we're rolling at the time - anywhere from Cameron's reggae to Mike's Mastodon and Jeff's pursuit of local progressive hitters Psychotic Waltz, bookended by Justin's affinity for Led Zeppelin and disdain for the Peppers. Don't let the underinsurance worry you - this is pure Garage Hour. Indegenerate or offensive, but never boring.

Pure Garage Hour reload right here: Hostus Maximus Justin Fort does a rare solo show and displays some of the chops that helped turn a few moments of gearhead powa into a five-plus year talk show juggernaut. Who's on? Mitch Dorr, Goodyear Super Stock racer at Crandon and son of short-course Rough Rider legend "Geoff "Mr. Personality" Dorr. What's in it? Cash for Clunkers (we were right), how big business kills good ideas (right again), how government involvement makes everything worse (right , right, right), and why the Lexus People from Orange County are a threat to San Diego. Moving right along, there's also reports from the 24 Hours of LeMans (it's Audi's fault), NASCAR racing at Sears Point (it's Kyle Busch's fault), why F1 is turning into the Twit Olympics (it's the Nazi's fault - what's his name? Mosely?), and CART's clumsy intermingling with Indy (they all sucked that one up). Following good racing, however, we get back to the basics and try to teach you a few things about washing your car (because you're probably doing it wrong). Hank Watson's Garage Hour: we're here to help.

Sometimes there's just enough episode for one really big point, and this was one of those nights. Recording at Helix Brewing Co. in La Mesa, CA, the Garage Hour goons (well, just two goons plus Miss Pink) spent some solid time talking about what California's misguided (or likely just wrong) "elected" representatives have been doing to your Second Amendment. Don't be shocked - bad things are coming. Worse. Worser. Matt Klier from Active Shooter Defense School (along with Miss Pink, of ASDPink) joined the Garage Hour's Hostus Maximus (Justin Pink) to chat about the anti-2A bills that have recently been signed by Kalifornistan Gov. Spongebrain Brownpants, and touch on Matt's plan to sue the state on civil rights grounds for one of the laws, which outright bans "assault weapons". Sadly, there is has been no mention of the state going after "assault" behavior, "assault" cars or "assault" governance. Count on the Garage Hour for other associated gearhead awesomeness: there is the lifelong question of whether Honda has ever really made a "truck", whether you'd trade your Constitutional rights for a cup of coffee, if Steven Seagal is, in fact, a murder robot, how to clean your firearms with brake cleaner, how not to treat your rifle, and about 72 attempts to avoid talking about Hillary "I'm too cankly to arrest" Clinton.
