What are 10 types of tech that make cars worse? That's what we're discussing with today's guest, Ed Zitron.


Ed Zitron is an author, journalist, and podcaster. He is CEO of EZPR, a national tech and business public relations agency. We love his newsletter “Where’s your Ed At?” , which often covers tech, AI, and how both will fail to deliver. 


On this show we talk about how car marketing is changing; the Fisker financial situation; why Apple's headset sucks while being amazing; why your phone isn't a great key; and more!

Seen Through Glass' Sam Fane

Mr Cartoon is one of the most famous tattoo artists to ever put ink to skin. His artistic journey began in graffiti before moving to airbrushing clothes and low rider cars. He's got a line of Turtle Wax car care, designed wheels, and has an amazing garage of his own. We talk about the history of low riders; how hydraulics work; the legality of them; how he got into cars; wild builds over the years; the hardest form of art; whether a celebrity makes him nervous; the hardest body part to tattoo; and so much more. 

Stars such as Eminem, Travis Barker, Slash, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, along with athletes like CC Sabathia, Kobe Bryant, Lewis Hamilton, and Carlos Boozer wear Cartoon’s art on their skin. Cartoon’s art has been featured in numerous publications including Rolling Stone, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Complex, Juxtapoze, XXL, GQ, and he's had art showing in London, Paris, Tokyo, and his hometown of Los Angeles.

Mister Cartoon (Tattoo and low rider legend)

Matt's Countach has a triage plan (sort of); we review the new Aston Martin DB12 Volante (and compare it to the competition from Bentley, Italy, and Mercedes);


Patreon questions include:

    Used Focus RS or new GR Corolla?
    Why Taycan brakes feel weird
    To jump from new Ioniq 5 to used Taycan
    Do EVs have a floor?
    Which state has the best Mexican food?
    A very interesting question about gamifying EV ownership.
    And more!
