Episode 60a-They are. Period.

The aftershow experiment continues apace! In the non-car/confusing part of the show, we talk about clowns, Ian's eternity in Whole Foods purgatory, and Dave's wild theory about ice cream and guns.

And because that wasn't a big enough range of topics, we also managed to squeeze in some discussions on vinyl collecting and Discogs, what Dave will be like as an old man, and Ian's plan to just be done with 2016 already.

Episode 60-Happy Little Drifts

We've found there are definitely some things in this world to be proud of - Mercedes' Kryptonite Green, the amount of happiness Dave puts out into the world, and TeamClearCoat resisting the urge to make an obvious dirty joke.

In a few less proud moments, we talk about our impending road trip, current styling for hearses, and why clowns need autonomous cars more than anyone else.

Episode 59a-Ian still doesn't know what this is; Dave isn't telling him.

How does Dave like his coffee? Like he likes his cars: dripping, exotic, and snappy. How does Ian like his cappuccino? Like he likes his um....well...he likes them dry. Very dry. Do with that what you will.

Anyway, Dave dissects Dunkin' Donuts' coffee, we graph Gwar, Peter Frampton, and The Shawshank Redemption on the pH scale, and we talk about our current favorite Twitter account.

A bit of hokey and thankfully no pokey; that's what the aftershow is all about!

Episode 59-Do you even hydrate, bro?

Time for some updates to things that were already obvious: it's almost never okay to comment on a stranger's appearance, the Honda Civic Type R coming to the US is GOOD NEWS, and it has been zero days since the last burn out in a rental car.

More obviousness: Donald Trump isn't qualified to talk about the auto industry, and everyone is excited for Dave and Ian's dad to become pen pals.

Episode 58a-We tried to not do it. And Failed.

Did you know that Dave and Ian work in IT? Or that they both like coffee very much? Or that Dave likes video games? Or that Ian gets irritated by things?

Okay, so we're not really breaking any new ground here, but at least we mention Dave's down parts.

Episode 58 - Here we go again on our own.

We're as boring as Dave's pants this weak: pleats on pleats on pleats.

We talk Apple's interest in McLaren, infrastructure for autonomous cars, and, uhh, kind of a lot about IT.

That's okay, though: Dave needs boring after the heart-racing excitement of completing an emissions test on the Saab.

Episode 57a-This "after-show" idea continues to be confusing.

First, Dave and Ian hit you with dramatic readings of their fortune cookies, then BOOM: tonal shift! Talking about complicated relationships with patriotism and the phrase "thank you for your service" might have you thinking it's all going to be serious.

Then, WHAM: another pivot to, uhhh, taffy farts and Ian's impersonation of Dave's music.

Episode 57-Kaboosh

Dave and Ian are a little loopy in the blanket fort this time, and their hyperactivity manifests as covering every topic known to modern humans: Film directors and their car-maker corollaries, the cars you have to clear your browsing history for, and Dave trying to answer the question "Who is Rutledge Wood?"

And that's before we get to our main topic, Colin Kaepernick and how his protest relates to the American car industry.

Come for the vaguely political topic, stay for the extended tangent on Michael Bay.

Episode 56a-We don't know either, but we have a hunch.

The TeamClearCoat After-Show: What is this? What are we doing here?

Well, this time we're giving a quick update on the preparations for our road trip to Road America, Dave eats yet more candy, and Ian talks about his long history of loving explosions.

Episode 56-Just another synonym

Do Dave and Ian know some words? Ostensibly.

It's punchy in the blanket fort this time. Dave and Ian have a hard time staying on task, so they end up talking about candy, tiny homes, and when it's appropriate to stab someone.

Eventually, they make their way back to how Formula One's new owners can fix the series.
