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.

Episode 55a-We can't believe we haven't gotten kicked off the internet yet.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, EVERYONE! We made it one whole year of doing a podcast! We've learned almost nothing, achieved no status in the car world at all, and really only have piles of Dave's candy wrappers to show for it. But WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Episode 55-Really, Lefty is the first to let me know.

It's diiiiiirty in the blanket fort today.

Nips, probes, and an unsolved mystery in the form of pairing two interesting parts of human anatomy is how we start out, and it only gets weirder until we land on A Prarie Home Companion.

And, really, it's better if you don't ask about the Jello salad.

Episode 1-Oh god I'm so sorry for all of the chewing noises. We didn't mean to make an ASMR podcast.

It's dark in here.

Because we've put our heads up our own....blanket forts. If we ever have a constant b-story to the podcast, it's that we keep trying new things.

Our latest venture is that of an aftershow. That's trendy, right? People are doing those, right? We're relevant to the cultural landscape, right? Oh god...

Anyway, what is this? Well, it's an aftershow. A lot of times we like to keep the conversation going on certain topics after the recorder gets switched off. Yep, you're getting cutting room floor scraps that we're packaging and calling a show(-ish)! Basically it's a long-winded excuse for us to make chewing noises directly into the microphones, talk about music that we liked and didn't like, and anything else that comes to our now calorie fueled and somewhat sleepy minds.

Episode 54-Well, Actually...

We really get into refining ideas in the blanket fort this time; we really dig into our proclamations of donk friendliness, Ian updates his list of eulogy dibs for Dave, and then someone from the Internet swoops in and - finger wagging - shouts "WELL ACTUALLY," and corrects all our ideas.

Meanwhile, one Bring A Trailer seller needs to refine their story of how their car showed up in America, and RuPaul doesn't need to refine a damn thing.
