Hooniverse

With Jeff out of town and Blake writhing in agony from "the fevers" Zack and I were left with little recourse but to sit down with our friend and all around Hoontastic yobo Corbin Goodwin. Many of you likely know Corbin from the "Zero Fucks Given" RX-7, the Jettamino and most recently his drift Rolls.  Beyond those projects we talk about Corbin's day job of driving for Lyft, the mertis of rotary engines, general lust for inline 6 cylinder engines, why Audis generally suck and myriad other topics. 

This week former Hooniverse producer and frequent contributor Zack Klapman joins us with tails from New Zealand.  The Smoking Tire film crew recently embarked on a lengthy trip to kiwi-land that stretched the across much of the country and brought a variety of highly modified and custom built cars. 

The Ring Brothers are in town to show off their latest award-winning creation known as Recoil. While they're out West, they've been kind enound to jump into the podcast palace. Mike and Jim Ring stop by to chat about how they got started and what they have in store for the future. Also, they brought beer.

While Recoil is amazing and the upcoming all-carbon-fiber Mustang Fastback sounds outrageous, we might just be most interested in the busted-ass Winnebageo that the crew have turned into something special.

We've been busy... this week Blake and I go in depth into the 2015 Lexus RC F, Chevy Colorado and Chevy Trax while also covering the newly announced Focus RS, Ferrari 488 GTB and Porsche Cayman GT4. In addition we also talk about Blake's quality time spent with the current Aston Martin lineup and my most recent purchase; a 2015 Fiesta ST.

This week Blake and I decided to record an episode inside the 2015 Ford F150 Ecoboost whilst venturing to the wilds of deep Corona California to pick up his freshly built Miata engine. This week we cover the Ford GT, Buick's lack of direction, chassis stiffening, mid-engine Corvettes, the Mercedes SLS + AMG GT all under the veil of imminent road rage. 

Please excuse some tapping noise at the very end of the episode as our microphone mount became loose.

Host Jeff Glucker and Producer Chris Hayes dive into some new car chatter. One of the main topics is the subject of the future of hot rodding, and how Jeff believes it will be about electric cars, coding, and drive-by-wire adjustments.

Additionally, there's news of a purchase for the Hooniverse family. A new project car is arriving, and you can learn more about it by listening in.

OPEN YOUR EARS AND LET US TAKE THEM!

Jeff and Blake are back in the old-school Podcast Palace of Love in this episode, and there's a lot to talk about. The 2015 Detroit Auto Show just took place and the reveals were pretty awesome. Ford killed it, Buick surprised everyone with a lovely concept, and a handful of other automakers showed some great products.

Beyond the new car news, Blake has a bit of news of his own. He's got a new gig, and it's pretty damn perfect for him.

The holidays are over, which means it's time to get back to work. Host Jeff Glucker is joined by producer Chris Hayes to chat about what they've been up to. Also, it's time to dive into some new car news before we take a lookat our own cars.

As you know the Civic Si is gone, and Jeff talks about what he's looking to find to replace the Honda. He's going in quite a different direction.

Friend of Hooniverse Matt Farah (The Smoking Tire) comes on to tell us all about his latest acquisition; that 900,000-mile Lexus LS400. Also, Richard Radcliffe is back on and he just bought Jeff's Civic!

We talk about some of the recent cars we've driven while also learning a bit about Lemon Law vehicles.

It's a holiday edition of The Hooniverse Podcast, so ignore your family and listen in!

Our guest this week is renowned comedy writer, car lover, and Fox talk-show all-star Spike Feresten. You may know him from his work providing the funny to shows like Saturday Night Live, Late Night and The Late Show with David Letterman, and Seinfeld, as well as many other programs.

Now Spike is using his love of cars to help folks find the perfect automotive match. His show is called Car Matchmaker, and it runs on Esquire. Feresten shows folks a variety of cars that he thinks would be the ideal fit for them, and this can range from a new Mercedes-Benz GLK to a Buick Grand National.

On the latest episode of Car Matchmaker, Spike's brother turns to him for help. Feresten gets a helping hand from Jerry Seinfeld, Jimmy Fallon, Will Forte, and Seth Meyers in the first hour-long episode of Car Matchmaker. It's a show that perfectly bridges the automotive gap between enthusiasts and normal folk who don't obsess over all-things automotive.

You'll laugh, you'll cry... actually, if you cry you probably have some other issue, because you should just laugh.
