Episode 25-The Younger Is Watching

If you've ever read something so crazy it derailed your whole day, you'll understand the mood in the blanket fort this time around.

Under the spell of a particularly nonsensical fortune cookie message, we develop a hobo code for rental cars, grapple with a really big idea, and finally remember to talk about our experience watching ice racing.

Just remember: the younger is watching.

Episode 24: Welcome to The Tempest Cacao Taco Lard: penis day is gonna suck

Where do the things you drop in your engine bay go? We like to think there’s a wormhole to a magical place where the fuses are many, the wiper blades are quiet, and someone can explain why we talk about American luxury cars so damn much.

If we’re honest, though, there’s nothing at bottom of that pit besides abandoned roles of electric tape, Dave yelling at you in broken German, and Ian’s ever-lengthening FMKcar titles.

Episode 23-Subtitled:Boardroom Ayahuasca Day

If you replace whiskey and taffy with a whole bunch of cold medicine, you end up with graphic descriptions of what VW/Audi's "service position" actually means, hallucinating Nissan executives, and instructions for using a Lexus to shave your down parts.

Once the Tylenol PM high starts to wear off, you might hear about auto show news, cautious optimism about the Ford Focus RS, and what's hot in driving video games. But then you double down on codeine and get a defense of minivans, the El Chapo of conference rooms and a giant ginger yelling at you in German.

Sorry for all the sick-human noises.

Episode 22-Greg Welch with Unser Racing and Entertainment

Greg Welch from Unser Karting and Events is in the blanket fort this time! He schools us on what it takes to get into competitive karting, how to get faster at arrive-and-drive karting, and even dabbles in marriage counseling.

Oh, and the dude is a serious car-guy, having owned an impressive roster of cars with decidedly unimpressive reliability reputations.

Check out Unser Karting and Events at unserkarting.com, and be sure to go drive the track during their special, with a new track layout and a $5 coupon using this link.

Episode 21-Listener FMKCars Special

How many FMKCars are too many FMKCars? The answer is infinity, because we can never have enough. That said, Ian and Dave might get a bit wacky as time goes on, but that's nothing new for the blanket fort.

This is our all-listener-submitted FMKCars special where we read the FMKCars that you, our listeners sent in! Thanks everyone that sent in FMKCars, James, Jonas, Jared (does everyone that listens to this podcast have a name that starts with J?), Marc (there goes the J theory, unless your real name is Jmarc with a silent J, Marc), Melisa, Lex, and Ian's Dad.

Thank you so much everyone, we love doing this podcast and we can't thank our listeners enough!

Episode 20 - MS Office In Your Car Is A BAD IDEA

What everyone wants from their automotive podcast is a 20 minute discussion about Microsoft Office, right? Right? Well how about some complaining about the new automotive low of Ian's life, the Dodge Journey?

If there's still nothing here that you like, maybe we can interest you in the most goddamn adorable round of FMKcars eva!

You know what, you just pick out anything you want: YOU'RE A BIG STRONG MAN!

Episode 18 - Best Of Episodes 1-10

Clip show!!! We've selected some of our favorite (and probably least educational or informative) bits from our first 10 episodes, wrapped them up in oily shop rags and put them under our dried-out Christmas tree, all for you, our listeners! Hm...now that we think about it, oily rags, dried out Christmas tree, blanket fort...maybe we should get the fire extinguisher...

We have tons of fun recording and producing this podcast and we're thankful for everyone out there listening. We're grateful for the awesome people that we've met along the way, whether we met you in person or online. Thanks for helping us have a great start to the podcast in 2015, and we're excited to see how TeamClearCoat grows and evolves in 2016. We appreciate everyone riding with us along the way.

Thank you, sorry.

Episode 17 - Short Attention-What?

Yup, it's definitely 2015: you're listening to two people on a podcast talking about a YouTube video featuring 3 cars you'd be lucky to see in person.

It all gets brought back down to earth with the age old enthusiast question: automatic or manual? As we ramble our way through that we extend our scope to ask the question: What is a TeamClearCoat car review anyway?

Episode 16 - If you give a ginger some taffy...

If you give a ginger some taffy, he's going to want a 4 cylinder Porsche. And then he'll want to complain about Formula One's new regulations with his friend, eye autonomous vehicles with skeptical optimism, and wonder aloud about how VW could downsize.

Or he'll just chew loudly into a microphone.
