S12 Ep 1203.13.22 (MP3): Driveshaft Diagnostic & Late-Night Deepthink - U-Joints & Yokes VS Bearings & Half-Shafts, Rebuilt VS Replaced, Staked & Clipped & Welded & Clocked, + Anarchy VS Enthusism, Avocados VS Coconuts, Toothbrushing, Jokers & New Sips

If you're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly - the Garage Hour gearheads got their groove on for an hour of issues with new and used driveshafts. Troubleshooting, driving diagnosis, balancing and building, parts and tools, Cardins, needle-bearings, donuts, SVO and magazine parts, washers, yokes, paint markers and bearing cups. We're not done: there's Dr. Tooth, Animal, Megadeth, Ninjatune, gumlines, drivelines, late-night hammering, and fixing your woketard neighbor (take "Blazing Saddles" and "Cannonball Run" and don't call us in the morning).

S12 Ep 1103.10.22 (MP3): Defending the Second Amendment (Like a Boss) - Constitutional Carry, "Not About Hunting", FJB VS Gun Owners, Hiding Rules in Swampy Laws, & Safe-Room VS Prison?, + Tesla's China Problem, Electric's Conceit Problem, AMMO Inc & NASCAR Owners

The 2A is going to need to land a few punches - let's help by asserting our individual rights and freedoms and standing up for Indiana (constitutional carry, mostly for the better). Meanwhile, the LGB White House's creepy crawlies are trying to grab millions of gun-purchase records they're legally prohibited from touching, and you can't blame a hammer for hitting nails (because a good bullet is a good bullet, even if the user isn't). Also: Dead Guy Ale, Them Crooked Vultures, Garbage, Goatsnake, the Hyundai El Camino, and the Garage Hour's "Dig Two Holes in England and One Will Have a Corpse in It" rule redux.

S12 Ep 1003.05.22 (MP3): Gas Price Stupidity & Electric Idiocy, Why Old Names Ain't New Cars, Automaker Badge-Engineering Fails & Reputation Degredation, Axle Assemblies & Bearings, Calibers for Ukraine, More Felon Foolishness In Chi-Town, + Bye Bye Antonov 225

Don't let the progressives regress your success: it's a brand new Garage Hour, complete with 16-Volt, Sepultura and Metallica, plus why your new Maverick, Mustang and Blazer still ain't an El Camino, plus the upside of a Samurai still being a Jimny (ladder-frame, bitches!). Because cars have trannies, not are. While we're at it, we've got some gearhead reasoning for you: electrocardiograms for high-school sports, lessons in the Second Amendment for the tyrants at CNN, and Ammo Inc's provisioning of Ukraine's fighters (because bullets!).

S12 Ep 902.22.22 (MP3): Formula 1 & Tesla VS Re-Soviet Russia? How About USPS VS Electric Cars (& Big Gov't)? Also, Narcissm Sticks & Loud Phone Talkers, Leftover 2x4s, Being Nice to the Police (Because Patrol Car), + Megadeth, Massive Attack & Man Or Astro-Man

Now that's a spicy meatball - more strange things afoot at Circle K... Why are business leaders leading in defending Ukraine (including F1 and Elon "Pyramid Scheme Vampire" Musk) when national "leaders" flop? Also, enjoy a drive-by psychoanalysis of Generation Fail and their self-absorbed loud nothingness, Canada's midget dictator Justin "Bring My Stool" Rivera's shortness (he's not at all cool with it), and whether college degrees are causative or correllative for mental issues. Because gearhead. While you're into it, how about Dave Mustaine, the C-130 Specter, criminals getting run over by the law, and how USPS just flexed Joke Brandon out of his electric car fraudulence.

Gettin' lost in great garages (or on the way to garages in the backwoods of Colorado Springs), the Garage Hour shunpikers do a drunken deep-dive from the Walkin' Dude's Toyota and Ford-infested wrenching studio. Building Subies, building Glocks, wood-panelling wagons, planning the JF Summit and tripping over 1UZs - it's in there. While we're at it: Dan's demand that SoCal folks stay there, Justin's gesticulation about the need to get your money out of the NRA until it's de-Wayned, and your host's catlike reflexes and editing skills.

What's in there... Pothole season and the billions spend by taxpayers to mitigate the billions spent by big-city leadership... Avocados are next to godliness (tell us why)... Tomcats don't take no shed but apparently German Shepherds do... ..And let's not beat around the bush: robot dogs are creepy and inhuman, but Big Gov't would love to use them to treat illegals even worse. Yes, there's more: everything from crackin' rock on the Bizarro #1 Mix, to natural remedies to the damage being caused by the nasty ingredients in certain made-in-China viruses and made-in-secret vaccines.

Too much good stuff (said no geek ever) - it's the news with the blues (okay, you're right, too easy)... Backed by blues from former board-opp Nick the Trick (2012 edition), the Gearhead consultancy's got Toyota missteps on supporting cop-haters, mass murderers and bad TV coverage, Tesla's problem with cars that can't do cold and satellites that can't do space, and DOT head Pete "Gen-2 Marxist" Buttgieg's ongoing war on effective traffic flow. Special appearances from Peter Pantsless, Big News Heads, Ray Charles, Jeff Beck, Son House, Howlin' Wolf, BB and Albert King, Cray, Hendrix, Musselwhite, Gatemouth and Canadian truckers.

Just have some: this one's got a look at traffic buggery (you can't be that bad by mistake), dogs on neighbors' property (hello or hunting?), big rigs protesting in Canada (still the best neighbor a country could have), firearm sales going up-up-up (especially amongst first-time shoppers), easy knife break-in, and skillsetting the Borg on the left with your geek powers (build it!). There's always more: saltwater, honey and shoelaces, a little gearhead doctorin' for fun and painful stingers, with a special appearance by Rooster Cogburn.

This episode was a big-belly special after only a few minutes - even the villains were edible. Hostus Maximus Justin Fort ran a surprise salvo at Location B(eer)'s head brewer Jon Taylor, and he responded with truckloads of ingredients, styles, practices and flavor. That means everything from burgers to baloney and fine sips a'plenty, plus a debate of cask versus tap and some of the geek vigor that makes it all possible. ...Featuring Downtown Brown, Tiny Eyes Double-IPA, Soul Horkey, Stay Here, 9.5 Thesis, plus Manzanita's Night Fighter and Norman Greenbaum.

Geeks are here to help - we know stuff you don't (and your ignorance makes us want to help even more). Just let it happen. From furniture moving (why would you want to live amongst things that are so crappy you'll throw them away), fixing Christmas lights (totally worth it), the return of vacuum mods, and our standing prohibition of scrambled egg juice, the Garage Hour can make everything better. Junk in the trunk: 16-Volt, KMFDM, Los Straitjackets, the Sword, I Mother Earth, Orbital, Chrystal Method, Jesus Lizard, AC/DC, Spahn Ranch and Testament.

Got'ta wear shorts - why not in the middle of winter? Hostus Maximus Justin Fort is pursued by Jason and Peyton from Trinity and "Regular" Bill into Location "B" for broken Dodges, tube amps, reconned speakers, buying more ammo (pop some pork), and DUI cash cows. Fire was required for Bill's booger bias, and Kamel Hairass is still an embarrassing failure. Fine sips for you: Space Force IPA, Slap Yer' Mammy (in the cask), Vienna Lager, leftover Oktoberfest, and a guest appearance by scratch-built pizza and Tincup Whiskey.

So much for on-topic - you can't get lost when you're already there. The Gearhead Consultancy is off to the races yet again, this time debating whether left and right is better than here to there, and arriving at the fact that both could require talent so you'd better have some. Like the ads say, there's more: the ret-con of Bubba's faux-noose fail, the scary fact that your map-app is out to get you (Who said artificial intelligence is required to like you?), and rock with roll by Fatso Jetson, Bio-Mechanical Degeneration, Atomic Bitchwax, Failure and Tom Waits.

Don't get too much awesome in your Christmas chili: it's time to put the nose to the Panetone and activate your Lurker Sense. From foolish gun buy-backs and anti-cop Dem politicos being carjacked for irony and hypocrisy, to putting better presents in your stockings, the Garage Hour has the holiday goodness for your (belated) merry margarita. Yes, have some. Don't forget the basics (because we didn't): The Bullet Points, AWR Hawkins, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Brian Setzer Orchestra and Burl Freakin' Ives.

Pre-Christmas madness from the one-track guardrails-by-braille festival of gearhead goodness that makes the Garage Hour's wheels turn: Rhino-lined FJ80s versus Plasti-Dip Miatas, Cowboy Bebop (versus the Netflix remake), vinegar and marinade goodness and good bumper selections versus pinkos in the grocery store, and electric cars versus politics. Why do electric cars have to be racist now? Let them suck (or swim) on their own, and leave the palest pyramid scheme vampie alone with his billions. Shouts outed to Hoosier Eric, Dustin v2, the Ayatollah, Chef Jeff, .45 Phil and Gringo Rich (and the ignominious end of the name "Dick"...).

Do stuff (because you can) - pedalling the Subie wagoon cross-country is a great time to collect some serious gearhead thoughts. Garage Hour's Hostus Maximus peels apart the reasons for actually hating a thing - not because you were told to, but because it's bad. Start with driverless cars and semis, add the right to repair (if you own it, why can't you fix it?), and finish with clowning those boobs who can't run a set of headights ...With shouts out to Chef Jeff, the Diesel Ayatollah, .45 Phil, the Jaimz Unit, Popeye's muscles, Greedo's eggs (Han shot first) and some industrial and darkwave yumminess.

Why do things "because that's how we always dude them"? Dump the habits that don't make sense and honor the physics of traffic (with a little nod to the law, just to keep those tickets to a minimum), and make the phone-nodding top-knot neck-beard half-wit behind you think about hissowndamnself for a change. Watch the traffic elitist behind you when you take your foot of the brakes at a red light, and test their skill (or lack thereof). The road ain't a solo act, and we're all in this mess together - might as well own it.

Remember, many of the world's great problems could have been smothered in the crib - don't let your headache grow into World War Seven. The Garage Hour is here to help when it does, though, with everything from trailer hitches (stalking your every shin), Bowie weirdness (better to burn out), abject madness (of lefty relatives), new-car invasiveness (bought a truck but sold his data), and Night Fliers (the book or the Mustang?). Don't be dismayed - there's more: notworking highway workers, Indiana pinkos, Nissan owners, deer fear, and trailer bitches.

S11 Ep 4811.01.21 (MP3): What Your Cars Says About Your Vote & Other Gearhead Logic... Down at the Brewery w/ CDs VS Gs (& Sticking the Turn), Thoughts on Concealed-Carry (Steel VS Plastic, Ladies' Comfort, & 9mm VS 10mm VS .40), + Punisher & Judge Dredd

Cars, trucks, beers and guns! We've got those for a night of sips at Trinity Brewing, plus an analysis of which generations of Dredd and Punisher were worth your time, plus Tiggers, bacon and a drunk fly. It's mostly gearhead - we review a survey of 43,000 people that analyzes what your car says about your vote (prepare to be surprised), plus the top-10 cars for libs and progs. There's also some reporting from CD player testing on an on-ramp (Gs won, CDs lost), and some useful thoughs about whicn pistols are best to carry (love the one you're with). Trinity brings an imperial stout, a mild IPA, a European lager and a classic Oktoberfest.

S11 Ep 4710.22.21 (MP3): ...A Road Tripping Deep-Dive Special - Mechanical Lockers & Hard Parts VS Electronannies & Computer-Aided Traction for Off-Road Functionality (a.k.a. Who's In Charge of Your Truck?), or Who's Skill Set Is It?

When time for negotiations are through and Lelu Dallas's multipass won't cut the mustard (Bunky), you can usually fall back on a mechanical part to function like the instructions said it would. That's not always the case with digital traction aids and computer-controlled robo-'froaders. Point is, there are good points and bad points for each, but the bads for knuckle-dragging hard parts don't look to be nearly as hazardous as the downsides of fancy programming and traction voodoo. The Garage Hour goons are here to help figure out what's it to you. While we're in there, we've also got some parts humor, flaky drivers and a few pot-shots at Mom (because no one can lay it on thicker than her).

As if the geeks and goons chasing the Garage Hour don't have enough reality to deal out already, it's a show with more - fat beardos with their first bike (and it was pink!), Florida's Haulover Inlet and all the sweet boats that hit it (and those that couldn't pull it off), that Mustang "Guy" who doesn't understand traffic doesn't plan to cooperate, and a little bit on where have all the UbLyfters gone. Why yes, there's more: cats and dogs (refusing to live together), the value of coolant, a few thoughts on the importance of human decency and why other drivers could use some.

Don't be a tool - let function guide you to the geek side. Garage Hour goons and gearhead gadabouts alike are celebrating more Second Amendment fans, and everyone's going plinkin'. Meanwhile, CA is still trying to prove that fewer guns equal less crime (it doesn't), and Norway proves that guns don't make people kill (just the evil in men's hearts). While we're at it, there's some Blues Brothers, high-zoot hypocrites, another reason for good file-keeping (instructions!), lifted Subies (eww), and having a good day.

The Gearhead Consultancy made a drive-by of recent decisions by hallmark international automakers' lousy design and product ideas, and was led into a originality dead end. From parts-bin novelties to bathtub visibility, the limited-production cop-out to mimicry versus flattery, there's more "ehhh" than "yeah" coming out of the big guys, and you're right to demand better (or other). It's all good: there's also Dude Food with stew and roast, zombie chainsaw Darwin, Andrew Bornhop, and garagelike wads of goodness (plus flash VS pan).

Getting back in the saddle is hard to do - but we're doing it anyway, because gearhead. Hostus Maximus Justin Fort was on the road and captured everything from automotive design cheating (BMW and Suzuki VS Subaru), that guy in the Jeep in the #1 lane who forgets he's in traffic because his wagon is the toughest (traffic elitist), the same elitism at the gas pump, and why professional test drivers are serious one-percenters. While we're at it, there's also the upside of kick-starting your day with doing (geek!), what lights on the front of your rig won't get you arrested, and what an information desert tastes like.

English, schminglish... Sorry, but there's a lot going on in Garage World right now - running out of hours. We did manage to kidnap Trinity's saucemaster for an hour - Jon Taylor, Regular Bill and Hostus Maximus Justin Fort did an in-house session on yummy beveraging (Simcoe Smash, peanut-butter stout, Idaho 7, dandelions for beer and health, and rusty reds), nose tasting and food pairing. Like usual, there was a whole bunch of other - cast iron, storage avalanches, "Yes" to flipping ('tis the season) and something about Long Island Ice Teas.

It's a fine selection of the random gearheadiness that makes the Garage Hour an international sensation (seriously, what's wrong with you people?) - semis and wide loads and how to own the lane, a review of some logic powering automotive bushings (and rubber versus polyurethane), and we found some Found On Road Awesomeness - Snap-On, baby! Because it's not a Garage Hour without serial weirdness, we've also got a Silence of the Lambs intro (basementy!), a Spyderco knife moment, the Walkin' Dude's 4Runner, and a call for geeks to get involved (because you pay the best attention).
