This week, we had Oklahoman thrift legend, artist, and all around rad dude @bobdale in the studio. We talked shopping at department stores, pop art, Warhol, uniforms, the aroma and etiquette of thrifting, the inspirations and aspirations of his art, clowns, living in the Central Time Zone, the Tulsa music scene, and much more!

This week, we have a show long in the making, with  stalwart of the vintage clothing community and proud Philadelphian, David Lochner. He’s been in the game a  long time and has some of the most eclectic taste out there. He gives us a brief history of his business, @briarvintage, we talk about a bunch of Philadelphia things, the UK's "Right to Ramble," false scarcity, clothing that transcends current trends, working magic with a sewing needle, rare finds, and a butt load more!

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen, Theys and Thems,  you're listening to Car Talk, I’m your host, Conor Flower, and for some reason, we talked about cars and driving a lot on this episode. 

We ALSO talked about art, and process, Dollywood, community college, Pennsylvania, PIttsburgh, Powerpoint, painting, writing, Instagram, and much more!

A special episode of Apocalypse Duds in store: Kate Fogg, Rage Against The Machine's unofficial documentarian, in the stu. How and why she started her fan page, first exposures to Rage, Kate tells us about first hearing the band and not yet speaking English, we probe the depths of appreciation the way only an archivist can, we talk about her and our political radicalization as teens, and how worldviews were formed, and  white whales of collecting, and MORE !!!!!

Yet another overqualified guest! In the studio this week, after much evading, we have, dear friend, Sven de Lance. Aside from his great street style blog @coup_de_lance, we talk about Brazil, Germany, Berlin from a few angles, skating, August Sanders, Yohji Yamamoto, lived in clothing, the “Poppers,” trench coats, Colombo, and more, on Apocalypse Duds!

UNMASKED! Our selfless and dashing hosts, finally demystified, answering all the softball questions you submitted! No one brave or foolish enough as @leisurelyloafing would DARE to interview these FASHION GODS. In this rousing conversation we talked about the origins of the show, fishtail parkas, white whales, Anthony Bourdain, geography, photography as preservation, and so much more!

Some Uncharted and Charted Territory on the show: we’re talking the film, Holes, San Diego, the 2010s Hipster Archetype, Toms, Fixies, Chrome messenger bags, Tumblr, The YSL Wormhole, Not Inclusive Sizing, "Salt Life," The Marine Corps….TRANSFORMERS…and more. Check it out.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Theys and Thems, we bring you tonight, something only whispered about: that would be weejawnz, whatever that is… But have you heard of WEE JOHN. Wee welcome Dad, debater, Deadhead, and DC Denizen, John Loafer’s @leisurelyloafing. We had a wonderful chat where we paid homage to Iceman, talked a little shit about Alden, got a little bit of skinny on how DC feels in the current moment, the hippie to menswear connection, the “myth of vintage Oxford cloth shirts”, tie-dye, and many other tangents!

Our dear friend, Darren Johnston, returns to the show once more to drop knowledge, drip swagger, discuss influence, and more. We talk recycling of menswear but without context, utility, seasonal dressing confusion, check it out!

Dear listener, if you are looking for some respite from the horrors of Modern America, this episode will be of no use to you. Do you despise billionaires? Have you wondered why our “opposition party” is so cowardly? Are you alarmed just how ridiculous national politics can be? Then do we have an urgent and prescient program for you. We’re joined once more by The Reverend Barry Lynn (who had the audacity to ask to appear on our program once more) to talk about what the hell is going on.
