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

Our live-from-the-brewhouse episodes are some of the best talk radio ever to grace the airwaves.  So much personality, so much information, and a pure drill-down on what really makes a brewery tick.

The Garage Hour goons - .45 Phil, Chef Jeff, Kurtis Who Shall Be Named, and Troy from Powder1 - join Hostus Maximus Justin Fort in his chat with Mike and Jeff, the East County originals behind Burning Beard Brewing.  They talk beer recipes, the great beer-drinkin' neighbors in Burning Beard's vicinity, smoking meat and the best beers for cooking, and FNG Kurtis does a great job acting like a professional broadcaster, conversating with Mike and Jeff about some details of San Diego's beer-sipping universe.  Special thanks to Helix Brewing in La Mesa, which has become an official sponsor of the show, and is kind enough to back our adventures in the endless brewing scene in San Diego..

Following the quick learning curve for Mike and Jeff, the Garage Hour names their next two beers - "German Fairy Chair" and "Pleasure Trawler" - and then Troy from Powder 1 poured beer on our laptop.  Hey, it's a risky business.

Tune in for all about beer, Burning Beard's enemies list, putting NRA stickers on unsuspecting hybrids, the killer jukebox load at the 'Beard, and why Jeff loves the hipsters.

If you'd prefer the hi-fi version of this episode, look for the same date without an "MP3" tag in the title.

From armored vacuums to Logan's Run, Star Wars on VHS and Operation Coin Slot, you can count on the Garage Hour to find your soft spot and stick it with something sharp.

So, does anyone believe Han didn't shoot first? Sen. Feinstein was there, and now she wants to take away your blasters. Then the unions blasted Obamacare (along with everything else), the Super Pooper blasted TDS, Bob "Catfish" Filner blasted red light cameras, and Mr. Dustin blasted up the Puke Puke Highway headed to Pearl Harbor (just after the Japs blasted that).

Crag Maxwell, Punxsutawney Phil, Dirty Dave and Hostus Maximus Justin Fort made this Garage Hour a great one. Tanks, Israelis, how to trail-clearance your truck, President Kardashian's fraudulence (again) (and again), and Crag's latest episode of Birthdays that Matter.

Have no fear - gearheads here. There's a whole segment on Silver State, including a host of high-RPM flybys and details on how to find 'em your own damn self. Then Nick is fired.

If you'd like this episode in hi-fi wine-drinking I-Own-a-Porsche mode, you can find the M4A at the same date, without the "MP3" tag.

Trucks and traffic, Manxes on Craig's, holiday traffic (poor idiots), rockers and rollers (including Zach Wilde, Randy Rhodes, COC and Willie Nelson), Sal Giunta's uncomfortable time receiving the Medal of Honor from presidential jellyfish Barry Obama, Texas declares war, Iran finds Hell in a centrifuge, and why every good 'froader hates REI. THIS is gearhead talk radio: Hank Watson's Garage Hour.

One of the rare solo shows the Garage Hour has done in its time, this episode came on the heels of a long Thanksgiving week of shooting things and off-roadin' stuff between bottles of good sauce and truckloads of turkey in its natural form - cooked and waiting to be eaten.

Remember, the Garage Hour doesn't have an anger problem, we have an idiot problem.

If you'd prefer the high-res version of this episode, search for the same date without the "MP3" tag.
