Grab a beer. Sit back. Enjoy yourself... as we once again dive headfirst into the world that is the YouTube comment section. It's time to walk through the minds of folks who should probably step back from their computers and take a breather.

In our penultimate SEMA 2015 episode Jason Conner (@TerminatorConn) and I sit down with Texas Speed and Performance.  In easily one of my favorite episodes from SEMA we cover Taxas Speed's mail order tuning business, the evolution of their small block business, the Gen 6 Camaro, the Texas Mile, the realities of internet racing versus reality and what it takes to manufacture their own cylinder heads and camshafts.

Jeff and Chris are in the studio to talk random automotive BS. The topics include the new Camaro, a Fox Body Mustang with an LS V8, Lexus GS F, and some more YouTube comments.

Duncan Ende and Jeff sit down to recap the goings on in some of their favorite racing series. There was plenty of action in Formula One recently. IMSA was active and IndyCar was running at Barber the week prior. Duncan leads the way this week and we meander through motorsports madness in this Race Recap.

Jeff and Chris are joined in the studio by The Smoking Tire's own Zack Klapman. We talk about the new Clarion Builds Acura NSX, driving the latest Camaro SS, and that Zack and Jeff are going back to Drift School.

Also, Jeff and his family bought a new car. Tune in, listen up, and find out what that is on this episode of the Hooniverse Podcast

Duncan and Jeff are back for the second episode of the Race Recap. There was lots to cover as the prior weekend saw plenty of racing action. Formula 1 was in China and Rosberg continues to kick ass. Long Beach played host to IMSA, IndyCar, and the Pirelli World Challenge. Each race had its highlights and its lowlights, and the hosts dive into all of it on this fresh Race Recap

Aaron Gold returns on the show and we're also joined by Zack Klapman and Harrison Berdan. Talk in the news revolves around the Hennessey Venom GT Spyder, Audi RS3, and then turns to the recent Formula Drift event in Long Beach.

That turns into Zack and Jeff talking about their Drift 101 experience, and how they're going back for more.

Jeff and Chris are joined in the studio by guests Aaron Gold (About.com) and Miles Branman (Digital Trends). The topics include some new car news:

• Tesla Model 3
• Mazda patents a rotary engine
• Porsche makes a ...chair.
• BMW offering an incredible two-day driving school.

After that, we get into how our guests got into the world of automotive journalism. Aaron got his start as an intern in the UK and Miles fell in with the Fast Lane Daily team. After that we meander through listener questions before a few updates on the truck and other things we've driven.

Friends from Jalopnik Andrew Collins and Freddy "Tavarish" Hernandez join us in the podcast studio. The pair are fresh off a trip to Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari, and they've also got plenty to talk about besides freezing their asses off in Utah. We learn a bit about covering the Dakar rally, and dive into the insane driveway of Tavarish. There's a dash of news in the beginning before we descend into the madness.

We're back in the studio and it's time to dive into some new car news. The NY Auto Show is here, and there are a number of new rides to chat about. We chat about the Golf AllTrack, Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk, Jaguar F-Type SVR, and the fact that Koenigsegg will have a presence for the first time at a US Auto Show.

From there we move to a talk on the new Chevy Camaro ZL1 before diving into our own vehicles. Guest Joe Carioti has a heck of a fleet himself, and recently added a 2008 Saab 9-3 into the mix.

Finally, we take your social media questions before diverging on some final thoughts.
