Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns

Garage Hour goons go off about the stupid shed we warned you was going to happen - doesn't take much to figure out the future when you're a geek (2 + 2, cats and kitties). Yes, truckers in Kalifornistan are going to revolt (80,000 repowers can't be wrong). Yes, robot cars will try to kill you. Yes, greenthink is pulling a Spy-VS-Spy and killing itself. Yes, carbon dioxide haters are plant racists. Yes, the clot shots don't a candle to old-school medicines already amortized in the world's poorest nations (one-time lucky?). Yes, gas stoves are still better than electric. So much good stuff.

Oh yeah, and Primus' head-weirdo Les Claypool mastered the sounds for the original "Cowboy Bebop" - because awesome.

Try on this episode for a two-hour dissertation on how to get what's up (and not be fooled by the info snobs, liars and malcreators in the media). We've got what's said versus what's meant (and what words mean), how to avoid a legacy of idiocy (Tide Pods & eye shots?), drilling down to what's real and what's fake, why bad PR is just bad PR, emotive hooks (what are they good for - absolutely nuthin'!), and how to read messaging tools and channels for their sincere selves.

Not every day does the Gearhead Consultancy take off its off-roading, road-racing, tin-bending and break-fixing hats to don the professional public-relations fedora, but the time was right - let's be a savvy message consumer.

Roads from the thought with a trip-think spectacular - freeway rules for signal-work, flow-merging, traffic-desnobbing and photo-enforcement unConstitutionalism. It's geek stuff - what we overdo: while the Garage Hour goons are gear-deep in high-brained cross-country goodness, we consider more than just blacktop: windmill disposal failures, stop signs versus speed limits (physics versus rules), and the Garbage Disposal Syndrome (fix it before it's broken - duhh).

There's more: a review of the bag of tricks we should all keep for ifs and whens, how gearhead trends move across the country, and an Iowa cornfield mailbox moment.

You know you're popular when the citizens of your state call you "Gov. Toilet Scandal", and Illinois' elected rich snob has cemented his popularity by bulldozing legacy state resident Caterpillar. ...And yeah, they're headed for Texas. Meanwhile, the cops in that state's ritzy hamlet of Naperville are holding down the fort, especially when attacked by Paul Bunyan (insert axe-to-gunfight joke here). Seriously, cats and kitties, let's back the blue.

While we're at it: Ford trannies versus the neighbor's dog, pinko electric van plan fails (so much cronyism), with a special appearance from the Sinister drop-inner, and ice on a volcano.
