Donald Osborne is the CEO of Audrain Motorsport and the reason we got to drive a car made before 1910! Remember when we held up a city's worth of traffic on a bridge? We have him to thank. Sort of. Donald is an absolute car expert with a focus on vintage cars. As someone who has curated museum collections and assessed cars for collectors, he really knows the minutiae of so many vehicles.

On this show we laugh about our famous traffic jam; talk about how we beat Donald in the "non-race" this year; discussed the comical differences between cars in the early 1900s; find out when he got his style; and check in on his surprisingly modern Ferrari.

Seen Through Glass' Sam Fane

Mr Cartoon is one of the most famous tattoo artists to ever put ink to skin. His artistic journey began in graffiti before moving to airbrushing clothes and low rider cars. He's got a line of Turtle Wax car care, designed wheels, and has an amazing garage of his own. We talk about the history of low riders; how hydraulics work; the legality of them; how he got into cars; wild builds over the years; the hardest form of art; whether a celebrity makes him nervous; the hardest body part to tattoo; and so much more. 

Stars such as Eminem, Travis Barker, Slash, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, along with athletes like CC Sabathia, Kobe Bryant, Lewis Hamilton, and Carlos Boozer wear Cartoon’s art on their skin. Cartoon’s art has been featured in numerous publications including Rolling Stone, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Complex, Juxtapoze, XXL, GQ, and he's had art showing in London, Paris, Tokyo, and his hometown of Los Angeles.
