210-Ian And Dave Are At RMDE, Driving Cars And Drinking Espresso
August 30, 2019 06:00 - 41 minutes - 38.3 MBEpisode 210- Hashtag RMDE2019 Despite Dave's best efforts, Ian managed to secure a hotel room for this year's Rocky Mountain Driving Experience with two separate beds, thereby preventing most of the spooning from happening. That doesn't mean we aren't going to have any fun though, so while we're out at RMDE2019 we have a brief episode for you. Talk of Land Rovers ablaze, overshoe-ed cars, and drool-worthy Volvos are the theme here; what's not to love about that? Lastly, Ian and Dave dis...
209-Dave Makes It Hot In Here For Ian, And We Go Nuts For The New RS6 Avant
August 23, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 64.8 MBEpisode 209-Powah Wagons This week Ian and Dave fawn over the latest Audi offering and in a shocking surprise to EVERYONE, Audi is bringing the new RS6 to the US! As much as we're looking forward to being the 8th owners of a very used Audi wagon, we're also very excited to validate Ian's sanity when it comes to Volvo exhausts. Enthusiasm and mental validation, why else would you come to this show anyway? Buy stuff with our hashtag brand on it! TeamClearCoat website TeamClearCoat Drive...
208-Ian Goes St. Karting, Dave Goes On A Repair Tear, And We Listen To The Song Of The Summer
August 16, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 62 MBEpisode 208-It's getting hot in here. In these turbulent times, it's good to know that there are a few things you can always count on. Thing the first, our intrepid road warrior, Ian, will find your city's smoked meats. Thing the second, the very same Ian mentioned before, well he's gonna find a karting track too. Thing the third, that floppy-haired goofball is gonna set a crazy good time and gain respect from the locals. These are just the facts folks. While Ian was abroad in the Louis o...
207-Dave Subpodcasts The Podcast, Ian Calls Out The Calf Implants Of The Car World, And Keep Your Feet In Your Cars People. Sheesh.
August 09, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 56.9 MBEpisode 207-Pedals are the place where feet go. Rear-view mirrors? Not so much. Vanity plates. Appropriately named, poorly executed, and hot content generators for our little show here. In this wee's episode we cover lots of potentially vain ways that car owners express themselves. Some seem more safe than others, but all of them are hard passes on our side. Speaking of safety, you know what you shouldn't do? You should NOT hang your gross foot out of the driver's side window of the CAR...
206-Ian Loses Two Kinds Of Racing, Dave Doesn't Care That He Won, And We Fall In Love With An Old White Truck
August 02, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 59.1 MBEpisode 206 Even a broken clock is right twice a day; that's the old saying, right? Well, in this week's show our Fantasy Effington One Token Broken Clock (ahem, Dave) gets to gloat about his super safe play that got him the win in pretend F1 racing. In addition to the fake racing, our intrepid hosts did some real racing of the karting variety as well, and what do we have here...another couple of victories for Dave? Is something wrong? Something's wrong. I'm sure we'll leave the upside ...
205-Dave Gets Glared At, Ian Gets It Right With A Vette, And We Solve A TRD Mystery!!!
July 26, 2019 06:00 - 50 minutes - 46.5 MBEpisode 205-WTFTRD-Part Deux In this week's show we get to the bottom of things! And No! That's not a reference to food poisoning or our hind parts or feces, or any of the other usual conditions that often plague this show. For real! For really real! We're not going to spoil it in this description, but seriously, Ian Beautiful-Minded this whole TRD stickers on some idiot's door handles thing. Even as I type it, I can't believe it, but we really do think we figured this Carstanza-adjacent ...
204-Ian Runs The Blanket Fort, Dave Rents A Road Bike, And We Keep It Cool For The Babies
July 19, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 65.7 MBEpisode 204 First off, let's start this episode's description with an apology. We should probably start every episode off that way, but it's really more implied at this point. Dave had a crazy work schedule and actually fell asleep before remembering to post it. Ooooof. Okay, what's going on here? The tables are turned this week, and due to Dave messing up his schedule he had to hand they keys to the ship over to Ian. We're sure he'll use his newfound power of podcast engineering with gre...
203-We Manage To Not Screw Up An Interview With Nick From DAE!
July 12, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 61.4 MBEpisode 203 and DAE Once again we've managed to get another guest to wander into the blanket fort, this time it's Nick Lyle, co-founder of the Denver Auto Enthusiasts Facebook (and ugh, Reddit) group. We had a fantastic time talking to him about his BONKERS turbocharged Miata and what it's like to run a group of auto enthusiasts on the internet. Check out DAE on the internets (https://www.facebook.com/groups/denverautoenthusiasts/) and if you happen to be in the area, come out to one of t...
202-Dave Goes Karting, Ian Predicts His Future Car, And We Have Juice In Our Shorts
July 05, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBEpisode 202-Gross Ah, children. Their sweet innocent perspectives allow us some moments of levity, mainly because we're way too familiar with the crushing heft of reality kicking us in our downparts on a daily basis. When your kid tells you what it's like to experience a soggy bottom, aka swass, for the first time, you get transported for a moment to their world, a world that doesn't contain all of the BS we deal with on a daily basis, and a much-needed giggle is the result. In the juice ...
201-Truffle Fries And My Eyes!
June 28, 2019 06:00 - 54 minutes - 76.1 MBEpisode 201 If there's one thing that unites us all, it's our gastrointestinal system. Sheesh. This is a car show folks, despite our tummy's best attempts at derailing it, and we do manage to focus on cars during this show. Not to spoil anything, but no one gets physically ill on this show, but Dave is certainly dealing with the aftershocks of the Kia Sorento Carstanza that broke his soul. In order to move the needle towards happier topics, we dig through Ian's camera roll and unearth som...
200-We Leave The Blanket Fort And Do A Podcast From Unser Karting
June 21, 2019 06:00 - 41 minutes - 48.1 MBEpisode 200-IRL Two hundred episodes. That's a lot of time to spend in a blanket fort, so to celebrate, we actually leave the blankets behind and set up shop at one of our favorite places: Unser Karting!!! Unser is our go-to place for mental health treatment and we couldn't think of a better place to celebrate not getting kicked off of the internet (yet). Come watch along as we lightly panic in front of real people that can see our real faces and flop sweats. Ooof. A huge thank you to ...
199-Dave Is Lonely In The Blanket Fort And Ian Doesn't Get Food Poisoning. Shocking.
June 18, 2019 06:00 - 44 minutes - 38.8 MBEpisode 199 Hey! We have another bonus inbetweener episode for all of you goofballs; Ian Skyped his way into the blanket fort for a quick discussion about his rental car, Dave's Bugs Bunny-esqe karting techniques, and not having to go to the bathroom at all during the episode. Really! Thank you Matt for sending in the FMKCars, we appreciate it! Thanks for watching everyone, we love you! Buy stuff with our hashtag brand on it!

198-The Carstanza That Broke Dave, And Reality
June 14, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 67.6 MBEpisode 198-Worse than Freddy. Humble listeners, we want to give you a warning. Once you've seen the horrors that Dave presents in this episode, you will never be able to unsee them. They shall haunt your every waking moment, and intrude your dreams, WHICH IS A REAL THING THAT HAPPENED. Yep. Dave saw a carstanza so bad that he actually had a dream about it the following night. So yeah. A carstanza exists that is so bad that it crossed planes of reality, weaving it's hideous nose into the ...
197-We Get Our Hands On A Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid!
June 07, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 63.1 MBEpisode 197 The Chrysler Pacifica is many things: a minivian, A hybrid vehicle, a nice place to be. More than anything however, it is one specific thing: a belt sander that takes every rough edge that life throws at you and smooths it down to a pleasant, easy-to-handle shape. In this episode we discuss the minivan we love so much and what it's like to handle said shapes after they've been Pacifica-fied. We really enjoyed our time with this minivan, it inspired some great discussion and pe...
196-Ian Beams In To The Blanket Fort So That We Can Lose Our Minds Over A Vanity Plate
June 04, 2019 06:00 - 41 minutes - 57 MBEpisode 196-It's seafood this time. It was leftover pizza last time. Much like Ian's over-inflated rental car tires, we pump as much hot air into this episode as we can, but beware, tick tock, Ian's tummy has different ideas of how this evening should proceed. What is it about our show that somehow impacts people's digestive systems? If it was the listener's stomachs, fine, whatever, not our problem. But since something seems to be happening with the hosts…we're gonna keep our eyes on it. ...
195-Dave And Ian Clean Out The Listener Mailbag And We Compare Cars To Limited Edition Meat Sandwiches
May 31, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 63.2 MBEpisode 195-Thanks Jonny! This week Ian's returned to Denver and we're finally back in the blanket fort the way good baby Santa Jebus intended. In his absence, you goofballs sent us tons of great stuff. Sick burns. Cars on fire. Weird vanity plates. A fantastic FMKCars from our buddy Jonny. Couple that with some garage updates, and you've got your self a stew baby! We love you. Buy stuff with our hashtag brand on it! TeamClearCoat website TeamClearCoat Drivetribe TeamClearCoat YouTube ...
194-We Make The Best Of Life Giving Us Very Minor Lemons, And Make A Very Minor Podcast
May 24, 2019 06:00 - 38 minutes - 36.2 MBEpisode 194 You know the old saying, when life gives you lemons and makes you fly to another part of the country at the drop of a hat and it interrupts recording your dorky automotive podcast with your taffy-addled friend, you make lemonade? Yeah, that old chestnut. In this week we do what we can given our limited time, Dave takes Ian to the airport, we drink coffee, talk about cars, and console Ian in regards to a battle he never fought, yet fights every day. We love you. Buy stuff wi...
193-Ian Somehow Thinks A Saab 9-7x Is A Good Idea, Dave Does Crash Analytics, And We Clean Out Ian's Camera Roll
May 17, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 59.6 MBEpisode 193-I mean, it's just a Trailblazer. If you really want to get exactly what you want, it's going to take some work. And money. Usually a fair amount of money. In this week's episode we appreciate the individual that perfected the Buick station wagon. It took a lot of work, but the results are nothing short of stunning. We also turn our eyes to a wrecked Allroad, and try to put together the pieces of the now sadly impacted puzzle. Ooooof. Lastly, Dave once again finds himself as ...
192-Ian Dresses Dave, Dave Dresses Ian, And We Play Ian's Most Hated FMKCars Ever. Ever.
May 10, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 62.7 MBEpisode 192-At least he didn't say tube tops. There's a quite morbidity about a decaying, neglected, and no longer used factory. There's a quietness to it. Sadness in the stillness of an era that has long since passed. Wow. Trust me, this show is not as much of a downer as those Smiths-caliber sentences portray. Trust us. We actually had a really good time this episode. Well, Dave did at least. Ian…not so much. It turns out that the less fabric that adorns his body, the less happy he is. ...
191-We Drive The New 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, The Jeep Wrangler Turbo, And Some Ram Trucks!
May 03, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 64.6 MBEpisode 191-Jeepie go BOOOOST!!! It's hard to believe that out of Ian and Dave, that Ian is the one that's driven a dualie pickup truck. Well, this week we made that right, as Dave got behind the wheel of some fantastic Ram 3500 truck. Six wheels and serendipity, and the Missouri half of the podcast has now ticked a big box. Speaking of trucks, we also had the opportunity to drive the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon! Jeep's first truck in 27 years and we get our stinking hands on it. I know, we ca...
190-We Manage To Not Screw Up An Interview With Erik Bergman from Hagerty!
April 26, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 161 MBEpisode 190 This week we're very fortunate to have a fantastic guest, Erik Bergman with Hagerty! You absolutely should be aware of Hagerty if you happen to have a collectible car that you'd like to insure, but there are many facets to this diamond of the automotive enthusiast community. Join us as we delve into the world of what it's like to insure a SEVENTY MILLION DOLLAR CAR, why Buick Roadmaster wagons are LEGIT, and how insanely cheap a Pontiac Trans Am is to maintain. Erik, we are ...
189-Ian Finds Record Store Bliss, Dave Sees An R32, And We Find The Perfect Two Car Garage
April 19, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 98.6 MBEpisode 189-DON'T AT ME Our resident Ginger has been out and about on the roads of Colorado and before doing so he solicited the advice of our resident vinyl junkie to get some advice. There's something special about queuing up one specific album in preparation for a drive. The duality of cars and songs run deep. DEEEEEEP. What else? JDM Nissan GT-R 32s are TINY cars, Dave has a close call, and we talk about some videos that we've published lately. And to foreshadow something we'll certa...
188-Dave And Ian Dress Up Like Princesses And Race In The Mushroom Rally
April 12, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 64.4 MBEpisode 188 Copyright law. It's something we obviously don't understand. We do understand one thing though, if we're not taking people's money, we don't ask any questions. We had a good time at the Mushroom Rally here in Denver, and it turns out we look great in dresses! In this episode we also discuss Ian's rental car, shame fast food and the weird feelings belly dancers gave Dave. No, not like that. It's Dave we're talking about here people. We wrap the show up with a couple listener ...
187-Ian Needs Support, Dave Needs Sleep, And We Interview Matt Pilgrim And Talk About The 2019 Denver Auto Show
April 05, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 96 MBEpisode 187 This week in the blanket fort, Matt Pilgrim from http://www.pilgrimmotorpress.com does us the honor of sitting down to talk about automotive engineering, the Denver Auto Show, and wing mirrors, oh glorious wing mirrors! You'll want to skip Ian and Dave's normal BS and skip ahead to about 51:24 in the episode to drop in on Matt's piece. Before Matt? Eh, don't worry about it. It certainly doesn't rhyme with shmoil shman, and has nothing to do with Ian's crazy low VW R32 and the ...
186-TeamClearCoat Walks The Show Floor At The 2019 Denver Auto Show
March 28, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBEpisode 186-Officially Unofficial We have no idea why we keep getting asked back to the press day at the Denver Auto Show, but we're not going to look a gift Prius in the grille. Come along with us as we take a walking tour of the show floor, a few bio breaks, and discuss the conundrum that is a regional auto show. Follow along our weird directions, head "Dave North" from the entrance, and keep us in your pocket and in your ear holes as you wait for toddlers to get out of a Lexus LS500 so...
185-Ian Goes On An Emotional Rollercoaster, Dave Only Thinks Of Himself, And Ian Ruins The Plan
March 22, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 74.5 MBEpisode 185-A Man, A Plan, A Kart Stuck In A Barricade They say that the best laid plans of mice and men, and in this case our two goofball hosts, go astray. That's true. There's no arguing that. In this episode we recap Dave's genius plan on how to get a couple clean laps in when karting with the gruppetto-esque public. We also discuss how Dave's plan to beat Ian at Fantasy F1 goes just as wrong, how Dave only thinks of himself, and also how Ian is the great karting equalizer which would...
184-Dave Sees A Landau, Ian Sees A Paradox, And We Love A Brown Limo
March 15, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 58.1 MBEpisode 184-We did not see that coming. You know, sometimes you think you've got someone all figured out. You've taken in the evidence, judged that book by its cover and then...WHAM! Out of nowhere, a new piece of the puzzle shows up and it DOES NOT look anything like the rest of the puzzle, causing your mind to fold in on itself over and over until you're reduced to thinking a Dodge Journey is a good car. That's what Ian's brought to the blanket for this week. A paradox. A conundrum. A q...
183-Ian Groans In Delight, Thankfully Unrelated To That-Dave Is Happy, And We Talk About A Cadillac
March 08, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBEpisode 183-Groan Sometimes you just need to look at a car and just be happy that you're looking at it. It doesn't need to be more complicated than that, but it often is. In a return to simplicity and happiness, Dave and Ian discuss car things that make them feel happy. Oh, and Ian makes gross noises, so there's that. Gross groaning aside, our intrepid hosts discuss their Eskimo-brother car rental, a Cadillac CTS, and it's frustrating and enjoyable aspects. Sorry about the groaning. We'...
182-Ian Gets Us Ready For The Next Time, Dave Sees Carcakes Evolved, And We Launched A Thing!
March 01, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 58.9 MBEpisode 182-Yum. Tums. After three and a half years, we have forged quite the support structure between the two of us. We're here to support one another, no matter what (or from which orifice) the issues may spring forth. Ian, in classic Eagle Scout fashion, gets us ready for the next time an unexpected too-old-leftover-pizza-induced event gets in the way of our show. With Dave's stomach behaving normally and Ian's wallet a touch lighter, we celebrate the launch of our Ram 1500 Longhorn J...
181-We Get Wet With Ian Again, And Dave Is On Borrowed Time
February 22, 2019 06:00 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MBEpisode 181-Well done whole milk You know what they say: "Life comes at you fast, but food poisoning comes at you even faster". Yeah, we all remember that classic, right? Sorry for having to cut the episode short, but we're absolutely certain that you wouldn't want to watch what happened after the cameras turned off, and we'd FOR SURE get banned from YouTube for it, scar all of you for life, yadda, yadda, yadda. Even though this was a truncated episode thanks to Dave's body rejecting left...
180-Dave Drives Cars On Ice, Ian Longs To Drive A Maserati, And You Should Probably Not Run Over Stoplights Or Hit Strangers With Grocery Carts
February 15, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 74.2 MBEpisode 180-The end of civilization will absolutely start inside a Whole Foods. Ah Whole Foods, so foods many wholes, and this week's show starts off with Dave telling us about the insane entitlement of one specific patron. Yep, we're a car show, yet here we are. Speaking of where we are, or where we were to be more precise, Dave was driving cars on a frozen lake while Ian was in Las Vegas, where he was, and I'm sure you'll be shocked to discover, also driving cars. There it is. All tha...
179-Our Review Of The 2019 Ram 1500 Longhorn Pickup Truck
February 08, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 76.3 MBEpisode 179-Yeehaw! What do Dave, Ian, and Barry Effing Manilow all have in common? Well, it's certainly not singing ability, that's for sure. What they do have in common is that IT LOOKS LIKE THEY MADE IT!!! Come join us in an episode where we celebrate FCA throwing a crazy pickup truck our way after we've paid our podcast dues over these last three and a half years. Listeners, watchers, viewers, family members that guilt-listen, we humbly present to you the 2019 Ram 1500 Longhorn pickup...
178-Dave Takes His Turn In The Shower, Ian Gets Mad At Jeremy, And Someone Leaves Dave A Candy Treat
February 01, 2019 06:00 - 56 minutes - 50.5 MBEpisode 178-Come and knock on my door. Or don't. Please don't. Do you need your toothbrush to tweet? For the love of dog, NO. That said, the Internet of Sh*t comes in handy every now and again, especially when you need to figure out why the h*ck there's melted chocolate all over the door to your house. Speaking of technology, Dave takes a turn in expressing his moist-yet-half-baked thoughts in the first installment of Getting Wet With Dave. We discuss progress and division, which the conv...
177-We Reflect On Our Time With The 2018 Subaru BRZ tS
January 25, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 58.2 MBEpisode 177 In what could be called the most car-centric show we've ever done, we present to you, beloved viewer, our thoughts on the 2018 Subaru BRZ tS. I mean we are a car show, in theory, and we to talk about cars, but we really put a hat on a hat on a big wing on this one. We were able to spend quite a bit of time with this snappy little car and besides making a really fun video, which you should totally watch, we took in a lot of information, thoughts, and feelings about the 2018 Sub...
176-Ian Gets Interrogated, Dave Gives An Intervention, And We Did A Thing Again!
January 18, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 67.9 MBEpisode 176-Oh we talk about a Saab? Really? Much like procedural crime dramas, some elements of the TeamClearCoat Podcast can be formulaic, but satisfying nonetheless. One of these elements is the interventional and often times aggressive approach to blanket fort-based therapy. In this episode Dave finally reveals the full extent of his thoughts about his time behind the wheel of Ian's TurboX. Buy stuff with our hashtag brand on it! TeamClearCoat website AutoWerkz Blog TeamClearCoat Dr...
175-Dave Is A Taxi Driver, Ian Has Good Guesses, And We Clean Out Our Mail Bag
January 11, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 60.4 MBEpisode 175-Mail Bag Our intrepid, scratch that, our taffy-addled and cardigan-ensconced hosts are back in the blanket fort after their holiday travels. In this episode we catch up on all of the things that we saw, our listeners saw, and what our buddy Peedah purchased. We had a great time recording this episode, catching up and hearing from you goofballs that listen to us makes it our favorite time of the year for the show. Settle in, put your feet up, and as Peedah says, "Keep it betw...
174-We Continue To Perpetuate The Circle Of Regifting With Our "Best-Of" 2018 Part 2
January 04, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 98.1 MBEpisode 174-Regifting, via Podcast. It's the holiday season and you know what that means: We phone it in! Our intrepid hosts are scattered about this great-ish nation of ours, two-fisting sugar cookies and using whiskey to cope with having to perform family IT duties. That doesn't mean we didn't have time to at least get you the regifted tube-socks equivalent of an episode, the second of our two-part Best of 2018. Yes, we know you've heard it all before. Yes, we understand that "best of...
173-We Stretch The Meaning Of The Term "Best Of" In Our Clip Show From 2018 - Part 1
December 28, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 88.8 MBEpisode 173-Regifting, via Podcast. It's the holiday season and you know what that means: We phone it in! Our intrepid hosts are scattered about this great-ish nation of ours, two-fisting sugar cookies and using whiskey to cope with having to perform family IT duties.

172-Ian's Saab TurboX Is Killing Him, Dave Discusses Balancing Risk Versus Thrift, And We're The Worst Crime Fighting Duo
December 21, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 68.4 MBEpisode 172-Ian's Batman. And not the good one. The Saab TurboX. We could honestly have an hour long weekly show that just talked about the woes of owning a TurboX. No one would listen to it, but the lukewarm content is there to be readily mined. When you basically own the physical manifestation of the absolute reason that an entire car brand is extinct, such content simply produces itself. After discussing some of the more minor woes, Ian lets fly the metaphorical bomb that could really ...
171-Ian And Dave Race In The Unser Winter Race League And Tell You All About It - Volume 1
December 14, 2018 06:00 - 41 minutes - 35.6 MBEpisode 171-So very cold. Just because the elements of a specific activity don't sound "good" certainly doesn't mean that it won't taste good. To illustrate this point, let's bake a cake (hooray for metaphors!): Here's our ingredients: Our intrepid podcast hosts, hapless as always. An outdoor karting facility. Winter in Colorado. Sub-freezing temperatures. Add in a dash of mechanical failure, sprinkle in some racing tenacity, a heaping cup of dumb luck, the requisite amount of sunblock, an...
170-We Manage To Only Partly Screw Up An Interview With Michael Ballaban - Deputy Editor At Jalopnik And Yugo Owner
December 07, 2018 06:00 - 41 minutes - 37.3 MBEpisode 170-You go Yugo, You go. This week we're incredibly lucky to have Michael Ballaban, Deputy Editor at Jalopnik, on the show. This came about by way of an election night whiskey-tipsy Ian sliding into his DMs on Twitter, knowing full well that when it comes to cars, car culture, and politics in cars, that Michael's a fantastic fit for the show. We had a wonderful discussion with Michael, ranging from check engine lights, Lexus wagons, Yugo ownership, sending said Yugo through safet...
169-Dave Does God's Work, Ian Sends Dave To Jail, And We Have The Worst Superpower
November 30, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBEpisode 169 - Nice It's all planes, trains (spoiler alert: there are no trains), and automobiles in this episode. We start with salad and end up where we usually do. Ian shares Effington One facts with us and Dave ventures into Missouri only to once again survive the trip. Speaking of Dave's horrible survival instinct, he somehow manages to survive riding on an airplane with two other Saab owners. Let's not overlook the insane unicornish fact that they're a HAPPILY MARRIED MULTIPLE SAAB O...
168-Ian Does His Civic Duty, Dave Is Up Way Past His Bedtime, And We Empty Our Automotive Pantry
November 23, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 63.7 MBEpisode Hehe...Duty There's a fantastic Sarah Silverman joke about our duties. She says that we all have them, and sometimes they're big and stinky. She's got a point. Ian is called upon to perform his duties comma civic and it just so happens to luck into a case that automotive knowledge is of use. We play some listener FMKCars, show some listener MyEyes, and continue to be a bit slap happy as the oxygen level in the blanket fort steadily decreases. Buy stuff with our hashtag brand o...
167-We Manage To Not Screw Up An Interview With Erica And Adrian, Awesome People And Hearse Owners!
November 16, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 64.7 MBEpisode 167-It's time to fix something. One hundred and sixty six episodes scattered across more than three years. That's how long TeamClearCoat has been in this here podcast game and we're just now FINALLY correcting a huge blind spot of ours, talking to people that daily drive hearses! WE KNOW! Man, this one really slapped us across the face and left a Rick-James-Unity-Ring-Esque imprint that simply said "DUH!" Our idiocy aside, this week we talk to two amazing individuals, Erica and A...
166-We Manage To Not Screw Up An Interview With Peedah, And We Went Karting!
November 09, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 84.6 MBEpisode 166-Peedah Look, George Lucas did everything wrong with Phantom Menace. Thems just the facts folks. We don't need to know the backstory to why there are now some weird space tariffs on bleep blorps from planet Bloopatron or whatever, we just want Yoda, those glowy sword things, and wars of star. That said, finding out the backstory to something isn't always a boring, tedious, awful task that you wait in line hours for to only fall asleep in a theater at midnight. Sometimes getting...
165-Our Wheels Come Off And We Yell Into The Void
November 02, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 65.8 MBEpisode 165-Wheels? Who needs 'em? Like the proverbial abyss, so much bleakness surrounds the blanket fort this week. Let's go to our happy place, let's visit our island. Let's think about dusty BMWs in used car lots, let's think of the Lexus GS-F (and we'll continue to do so for the rest of our times in this mortal hellscape), let's think about how hilarious it is that Ian's VW (SPOILER ALERT) passed emissions. Buy stuff with our hashtag brand on it! TeamClearCoat website AutoWerkz Blog...
164-TeamClearCoat Grieves The Loss Of A True Icon, Well At Least The Loss Of One Of Said Icon's Specific Jobs. They're Totally Fine.
October 26, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 75.3 MBEpisode 164-Really, he's fine. But we're not. Grief has several stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance. Here at the TeamClearCoat podcast, we've pretty much perfected going though all of those, save for acceptance, so much so that it's pretty routine at this point. Dusty Rusty, Ian's oil pan(s), our general hopes and dreams, and so much more have been topics in our blankety grief hut. But this one, this one got us right in the feels. In this episode of the ...

October 19, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 83.2 MBEpisode 163-Varsity Roadsters Joining us this week is Ted Parks, founder of Varsity Roadsters. Let's get this out of the way right up front: we had an absolute BLAST talking to him about all things related to his car and it's development. A huge thing that we love about doing this show is all of the elements of history and culture that are related to automotive enthusiasm. The overlaps are the things that really intrigue us. We honestly don't think we could find a guest that speaks better...
162-Dave Stops Being Nice, Ian Defends His Position, And We Adopt Different Personas
October 12, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 75.6 MBEpisode 162-Blue shell. Questions. We has them. Can karting be had without thinking of Mario-esque power-ups? Can Subarus be had without ambient lingering vape? Can a rental Home Depot van be driven without overalls appearing on your body? Which came first, the dent or the depleted health meter? Is it better to hear Buffet or inflict Buffet upon passers-by? Answers. We may has some. Usually, no. Usually, no. Eh, you're at least wearing them in your mind. Probably the dent. Inflicting, hand...
161-Ian Sees Gary Numan, Dave Has Insomnia, And We Duck And Cover Because Blade Is About To Show Up
October 05, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 81.5 MBEpisode 161-What's that coming down from the sprinklers? The stuff that keeps you up at night. The source of the heartburn. No, we're not talking about that certainly-too-old baked ziti that you panic ate out of the fridge at 3 AM, we're talking about the world we live in. The stew. Picture the world as the stew and our goofy show and automotive enthusiasm as a whole as the breadstick. Sometimes you need to just want to jump out of the stew and take respite on the breadstick for a minute....
