Join Todd & Eric in this first episode in a recurring series as they take the show on the road…or the air…to a foreign venue to attend the next World Federation for Motoring Museums (WFFMM). Japan!!!

Join us as Eric raves about the amazing 7-Eleven egg salad sandwiches, Todd looks forward to hanging out at the hotel pool with the British contingent and we get to walk the halls of an incredible automotive venue. We have some great episodes on this special trip on the way!

We’d love for you to help us fulfill this vision. We do this podcast mostly out of our own pockets, so we are dipping our toe in the waters of fund raising! Help “LeMayZing” become the voice of the LeMay Family Collections at Marymount and a voice in the international car museum community! Donations can be made to Marymount and earmark it for “LeMayZing!” (These are tax deductible donations!) www.lemaymarymount.com

Its that time of year again! Time for the Model T Experience! Sessions begin in May and you spend the day learning to drive a Ford Model T around the 90-acre grounds at the beautiful Marymount Academy. In this short episode, LeMayZing Co-Host Todd Kelley gives a brief history of the Ford Model T and we hear from two recent “graduates” of the Model T Experience.

Join us for another fun episode with Eric & Todd at The Hideaway Tavern ($4 dirty burgers on Wednesdays). In this episode, we discuss how different LeMay Collections at Marymount and LeMay-America’s Car Museum are from each other, but they are symbiotic in a way that will surprise visitors to both. It is a bit of a continuation of our previous episode as we share great stories of cars in both collections that hold fond memories for both of us. Then, the comparison devolves into Eric classifying LeMay Collections at Marymount as an “orgy of the senses.” (Hey Eric, this is a family show…let’s call Marymount what it is…a “collection of collections.”) (ERIC'S NOTE: I think "orgy of the senses" is one of the greatest phrases ever uttered on early 1991-era international live broadcasting. The entire thing deserves a short documentary. It was big on a lot of levels. But I never thought of it as a "blue" question. In fact, I might have been the last person who realized what I was saying. Terry Anderson had such a great answer...)

(TODD'S NOTE: Good excuse, Eric. Isn't he funny?)

Join LeMayZing Host Eric LeMay and Co-host Todd Kelley from LeMay Collections at Marymount as they are joined by Pandora Paul, the curator at LeMay-America’s Car Museum, both located in Tacoma, WA. We have a wide-ranging conversation about car collecting and creating a meaningful car museum experience for a more diverse audience by connecting them to their own memories and experiences. A great conversation, live from the Hideaway Tavern in Spanaway, WA, all during a Seattle Seahawks game!

Join Eric LeMay and cohost Todd Kelley as they bring the fun of car shows indoors, live from the Hideaway Tavern in Spanaway, WA. With the summer of 2023 in the books and the holidays upon us, this episode explores what you (and your visiting holiday relatives) can see at LeMay Collections at Marymount’s “year-round car show.” Hear many of the “back stories” of how several of the cars ended up in Spanaway, including the 1948 Tucker and the “Rat Pack” 1958 Dual Ghia, once owned by actor Peter Lawford and how it may have been used to connect Frank Sinatra to the Kennedys!

LeMayZing! pays a visit to Ball Auto, a mainstay in Tacoma’s Stadium District since 1946. Founded by R.H. “Speed” Ball, he later handed it over to his son Kirk, who ran the business for over 50 years. Kirk then handed it off to his son-in-law, Derek Barnett, who is married to Kirk’s daughter, Lori. They are about retire and are handing it off to their sons, marking the fourth generation of family ownership. Ball Auto is a car repair shop, gas station, auto sales and auto storage, a very unique combination that harkens to an era gone by. (They also call themselves automotive therapists!) Join host and longtime Ball Auto customer Todd Kelley as he explores the history of this unique automotive shop.

His family name is synonymous with cars and car dealers in Pierce County, Washington. Bill Korum’s father, Mel Korum, started with Dodge in the mid-1950s, then moved onto Ford, founding what is now Korum Ford/Lincoln. Bill Korum has made a name for himself as the owner of Puyallup Nissan. But make no mistake, Mr. Korum minces no words about his best and worst cars. And here’s the kicker: He attended the Marymount Academy 1964-1967!

Confucius said, “Choose a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life.” Join co-host Todd Kelley as he interviews Boeing Historian Mike Lombardi, who found his passion preserving the history of The Boeing Company. If you’ve seen documentaries about Boeing or its products, you’ve likely seen Mike. Hear about the development of the 707, 747 and the 777, and names like William Boeing; his first partner, George Conrad Westervelt; Pan American Airways’ Juan Trippe; longtime Boeing Chairman Bill Allen, who ushered Boeing into the jet age, and several others. You will also hear the humble beginnings of this incredible company, all from the Smithsonian-quality company archives in Auburn, WA.

And guess what? Mike is a car guy! Hear about his passion for Ford Mustangs!

And stay tuned! Its car show season! Lots of new episodes on the way!
