Hank Watson's Garage Hour Podcast

So much good stuff:  why Johnny Cab is planning to kill you, why nobody wants electric cars, why gov’t choices aren’t, why electric cars are a social contagion too, why gov’t action is an inverse penalty, why more CO2 is a good thing, why 60% of new cars can never be electric, why artificial intelligence isn’t, and why robot cars are causing new and innovative traffic jams. Also, F-16 flyovers, hooch VS hooch, Budweiser’s tranny fail (is more than a missed gear), “She’s So Heavy” and “Spaceship Landing”, and Kyuss, Anthrax, Southern Culture on the Skids, Bio-Mechanical Degeneration, Living Colour, Beatles, Volbeat, Zeppelin, The Rev and Machines of Loving Grace.

Oi vey! Americans just want to defend their home, family and property, but grabby bureaucrats and Big Gov’t fans want to defang the everyday man and force his compliance.  The Garage Hour goons have updates for you about what’s going on: Creepy Joe Meat Puppet’s executive orders, tremendous funding for federal targeting, pinkos versus a well armed citizenry, what’s a male Karen, the degredation of American exceptionalism, file cabinet fires, and remembering why the Second Amendment isn’t the 31st. While we’re at it, more stuff: Metallica, Volbeat, Dragonaut, Faith No More and Bjork, Dave Barry, Hunter S. Thompson, Breitbart, The Federalist, Ammoland and the Epoch Times, plus a proper R.I.P. for excellent weirdo Tom Sizemore.

Put on the goggles, ‘cause this ‘uns a lumpy one:  good ideas and bad results of clearancing your trail rig to let the tires eat!  Trailing arms, tire sizes, Pahnard bars, shackle positioning, pinion angles, bump stops, spacers, 4Runners, Wranglers, XJs, backspacing, fenders and Dremel blades...  Guest appearances by Rock Hound Off-Road, Fageol Superchargers, Dirty Dave’s Super Pooper and Gov. Used Car Hair. While we’re at it:  bread is yummy, hot-boxing ruins resale, killing whales and birds, false electric-car advertising, snow in L.A. because it’s winter, VW takes the carjackers’ side, Ford isn’t on yours, and beer acting weird at 13,000ft.

This is a test (new uploading technique), but it’s also gearhead goodness - all the stuff you like.  Safe shopping for online scores?  Walkin’ Dude flash-fries a water buffalo?  Wiring and transpirins’ (do all wires matter)?  Do you flash the guy who doesn’t belong in the #1 lane?  If you dig a hole in England, is there a bomb or a skeleton in it?  ...And what’s more important, your right to privacy or a drone’s right to see what you’re up to? There’s more:  the impending unsold army of Ford’s nonsensical new Lightning pickups, AI making it up as it goes along, and Vibravoid, Satriani and smushy catalytic-convertor thief deaths (and the Weinermobile).

Invent a better mousetrap and they'll beat a path to your door, or, in the case of the gearheads at the Garage Hour, do an episode full of fun homeownery crap and everyone will want more.  ...Because we'd been planning to spend an hour with formerly Silent Sean (head in the bag, mind in the gutter) tuning up the deadbolts at Castle de Sack, what better time to capture some more easy to-dos that'll keep the wolves at bay (now that the stupider people in Colorado have deigned to release an apex predator into our backyards)? Code pads?  Double-authentication?  House numbers?  Screen doors?  Door braces?  Frangible rounds?  Driveway safety and garage-door security?  Local laws?  Fake rocks?  Safe rooms?  Shatter Guard?  Mail gettin'?  We've got 'em.

Alright, gearhead here: Which came first - harsh I.P.A.s or histper sippers? Dwindling dollars cause big dogs to suffer the same fate as big cars and big homes? Does your 7500lb one-week chargemobile make for good transportation or a big paperweight? Got to love big 'Benzes on the Autobahn.  Also, gas prices are now lower than electricity by the mile, and R.I.P. Robbie Knievel. More fun: Fatso Jetson, Acid King, Linkin Park, Puny Human, Contagion, Black Crowes, Dog Fashion Disco, Farflung, Deadbolt, Gluecifer and Clutch.

If it's snowing igloos and narwhales outside, you might as well do something in (let your home be a canvas for your genius).  The Gearhead Consultancy also knows fine homeownerin', so this episode's got three-way switches (fix the travellers, don't be one), municipalities' rules for wiring (no dimmers for you), firewood and gas logs (because chainsaw), making your utility drawer an expansion of capability (no junk so no junk drawer), not trusting the web (buy a book, maybe even the old Reader's Digest bible), and fixing scuffs in hardwood (markers!). Random rock and/or roll: Zach Wilde, Candy Snatchers, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Chainsaws & Children, Metallica, Puny Human, AC/DC, Orgy, Desert Sessions, Hydroponix, Machines of Loving Grace & Blazing Haley!

"The more I learn, the less I know." said everyone, always - it's time to get your geek on with some off-the-wall thinking.  With tacos full of bell and turbos full of charge (and a guest appearance by Glorvox the Massive), the gearhead goons put words to cold batteries and warm wi-fi (and the shame that's what happened to the nameplates "Lightning" and "Hummer"), as well as why CO2 is good (we like trees), distracted driving is bad (spend some attention), Carl Sagan was wise (technology w/ morality), and why just because we can doesn't mean we should. Also appearing: Ministry, Air, Five-Horse Johnson, Biopsiy and Cujo (because that stuff's great!), as well as some crazy eyes, yuge glasses, and green thumbs.
