unGROWN-UPS

Ryan and Matthew are back at the microphones after waiting an additional week to record because of activities. The guys discuss parks, Cars and Coffees, chrome bumpers, belated Christmas presents, anniversaries, malls, automotive startups, pre-ordering an EV, remote-controlled fun, cults, fictional universes, Turning Red, countdowns, taxes, Back To The LEGOs, getting extreme, shopping carts, poop hammocks, what day is it?, saving daylight, snack shacks, vintage tech, and way too many other seemingly unrelated topics.

Ryan and Matthew roll right into their sixty-second episode accompanied by Matthew's half brother, Steven Smith- no not that Steven Smith. In this episode the distinguished men discuss Ryan's bat-joy for Michael Keaton, Matthew reviews his Valentine's Day gift, vintage ball games, Zillow Gone Wild, squirrels, watch repair, RC cars, credit card rewards, social media ads, scorched Porsches, sign language, dogs, Steve gets ironed out, junk mail, checks, thoughts about foods, and plenty of other questionable topics.

The dynamic duo kick off their 60th episode as only they can- slightly confused. Matthew and Ryan excitedly share their upcoming travel plans to New York and Chicago for some impromptu weekend adventures. Then the dudes discuss Ripley's puppy adventures, the new "more inclusive" M&Ms character redesign, stuff they've been watching, stuff they've been eating, why supercars in Southern California aren't that big of a deal, and more non sequiturs.

Ryan and Matthew finally sit down for their first episode of 2022. The gentlemen immediately fumble the start and recover by discussing an array of topics including: numerology, little league, Supercross, Matthew's pain of being denied a breakfast burrito, stalking food trucks on Instagram, LEGO's new butthole, Christmas recap, parking structure shenanigans, should you patronize a small-minded small business, the growth of Bring a Trailer, a container shopping conundrum, why Ryan gets too easily distracted for Ted Lasso, figuring out home office ergonomics, why dogs and sleeping bags don't mix, and even more semi-intelligible topics.

Ryan and Matthew along with returning guests Nick and Jacob, sit down to amuse each other with some profanity and holiday cheer. The musings of these merry men include: Ryan introducing his new best friend, Ripley the miniature Australian Shepard, Nicolas Cage playing Nicolas Cage, bad movie or concert experiences, the best and worst Christmas songs, Carnage A Trois, trains and slot cars, In-N-Out and California culinary cravings, Pun-ishment, Celebrities behaving badly, Nick has food issues, throwing away a knife, pranks, a December to remember, and plenty of other inane ideas.

In an extra-special unGROWN-UPS episode, Ryan and Matthew are accompanied in-studio by Sarah Fairfield and her spouse, Dave Coleman for some banter and beverages. Sarah, Dave, and Matthew recap the Radwood SoCal automotive event that they attended and share their top picks for best in show. The foursome discuss a range of automotive-related topics including who's the better driver- Sarah, the professional stunt driver or Dave, the verifiable badass at Mazda. If you're a fan of Sport Compact Car magazine, Mazda, Nissan, racing, rallying, Radwood-era vehicles and fashion, or learning about low-buck automotive fixes, you'll want to listen in!

Ryan and Matthew are joined in-studio by Nick and his cooler bag of beer for another rousing unGROWN-UPS epsiode.

In no particular order and without rhyme or reason, the dudes discuss burgers, fried chicken, the furthest distance they've traveled for food, and Freebirds in Isla Vista, California. The trio debate if it's worth attending sporting events in a pandemic, Bluetooth driveshafts, supercharger whine, in-car camping, and spotting Rivian and Lucid vehicles in the wild in SoCal. The talk turns to toys and the holidays with Fisher Price's Bluetooth Chatter Phone, Target's Christmas inventory, Lego's Ultimate Collector Series Star Wars AT-AT, and when is it too soon to put up your Christmas lights?

The fun-loving flannel fans talk about why they're all leaving town for some upcoming adventures, Ryan and Matthew try to talk Nick out of a Jeep while also trying to convince Nick that the Cheesecake Factory isn't fine dining. Matthew decides he's going to become a cell phone tower tree designer, Ryan gets sucked into a documentary about a mall, Nick kicks a hydrant, and plenty of other seemingly non sequiturs.

Ryan and Matthew are accompanied in-studio yet again by Marc. The trio chat about everything and anything including: a field trip to the Petersen Automotive Museum, getting yelled at by a docent, Type C Porsches, James Hetfield, James Bond, the Beatles, questionable car modifications, automotive myths, building a Hello Kitty scrambler, drawing on a supercar, electric motorcycles, Home Alone in LEGO, cockpits, Chuck E. Cheese's vs. Bullwinkle's, hashbrowns, Thanksgiving leftovers, influencers, spandex, and plenty of other ungrownup things.
