110-Dave Has A Rough Day, Ian Takes A Knee, And We Coin A Term For LIARS
September 29, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 62.9 MBEpisode 110-These times man... We get right to the heart of the matter on this episode. First, we quickly identify the real cause of Dave's recent fender-bender: the infamous Ramen Defense. Then, we talk about what's most important during Ian's business trip: how karting went. And, we go all-in on NASCAR's latest bout of idiocy. Along the way, we determine the correct pronunciation of "Kia Sportage," discuss memory techniques, and give a Seinfeld-inspired name to an automotive phenomeno...
109-Ian Needs Money, Dave Needs To Tend To His Bush...ings, And We Fall In Love With A JDM Jimney
September 22, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 78.6 MBEpisode 109-It was the little hood scoop that did it... The downside of being an enthusiast - no matter if it's for cars, whiskey or home repairs - is that eventually, your excitement will lead you into a Curb-Your-Enthusiasm-type scrape. This week, Ian found himself in The Whiskey Situation, Dave nearly burned down the house of a loved one, and Tesla created more questions when they tried to do something nice. Even brand-new enthusiasts are not immune: a toddler found himself in the mi...
108-Dave Discusses His Grooming Habits, Ian Figures Out How To Phish Dave, And We Want To Punch Infiniti Infotainment Systems.
September 15, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 60.8 MBEpisode 108-Click here for HOT DONK PICS, Dave. Functioning in the modern age means accepting a certain amount of uncertainty in the world; some things will just be confusing and can't be explained. And, boy oh boy, do we have a lot of examples this week. What was Infiniti thinking when it designed their new infotainment system? What is a lulabro, and why is Ian suddenly on fire? Also, Audi's new naming system: WHY? And if all that wasn't bad enough, we also talk more about feet, pyram...
107-Dave Figures Out The Subaru Facelift Strategy, Ian Has Rogue Rage, And We Scorch Our Down Parts
September 08, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 56.6 MBEpisode 107-Rage Against the Rogchine This hobby of ours is sometimes an emotional rollercoaster, and on this week's show we explore all the ups and downs. The lows of a Range Rover owner searching for his mechanic in the mountains give way to the highs of driving your newly-working-again car. But then you are forced to drive a Nissan Rogue Sport, and only a blast in an unexpected hot hatch can pull you back up. And while there's nothing better than the high of developing a muscle memory ...
106-We Drive A Van, We Love Said Van, And I Guess We Just Talk About Feet Now? Gross.
September 01, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 62 MBEpisode 106-A man. A van. Also another man. Hello David and Ian, long-time victim, first-time complainer here. I just wanted to say that while I appreciate the breakthroughs you made on episode 106, Ian's grumpiness, the shin-destroying capabilities of Ikea furniture and our ability to automate human beings have nothing to do with cars. Please knock it off. Also, once you did get to cars, all you talked about was a minivan and how to model your own life after an unreliable Alfa Romeo. Ple...
105-Ian Thinks About Weiner Logistics For The First Time, Dave Sees A Cute Car And An Insecure Bro, And We Trip Clubman Taillights Awful
August 25, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBEpisode 105-There's no way that's attached... Cars inspire judgements. Sometimes they're quick, and you pay a compliment that isn't well received. Or, like a bad flashback, you re-live your emotions every time you see the car. You can even predict what you'll think a decade from now when your child comes home with it.

104-Dave Has A Bad Blower Experience, Ian Finds People On The Internet That Don't Like Us, And We Turn Swears Into Repairs
August 18, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 65.2 MBEpisode 104-Coast to a stop. As car enthusiasts, we have a certain number of shared experiences. We've all ended up spending more money in the name of saving money. We've all used the car someone drives to complete the picture of them in our head. And, at some point, we've all been disparaged on an Internet Superhighway Forum Post. Oh, and at some point robots will replace us based on what swear words we all use.

103-We Get In Touch With Our Inner Van Man And Interview Andrew Ganz!
August 11, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 80.7 MBEpisode 103-Inner Van Man The best thing about becoming Legitimate Automotive Journalists is meeting awesome people like this week's guest, Andrew Ganz. Andrew writes for The Car Connection, Motor Authority, and Green Car Reports. On top of that, he's a great guy with stories about driving a Trabant in Budapest, Saab ownership, and that one time he didn't talk to Bobby Rahal. Also, please don't call him at home. Thanks for coming on the show Andrew, you're welcome back in the blanket fo...
102-We Discuss Our Nutritional Value, Plan Cross-Continent Drives, And Wash The Reince Off Our Preibus
August 04, 2017 05:00 - 57 minutes - 52.8 MBEpisode 102-This one gets weird... Well, we tried. We really did. We were totally just going to talk about cars this time. And we did okay - garage updates, autonomous car legislation, and our fantasy transcontinental drives are all decidedly "car topics." But we just couldn't stay away from the magnetic draw of The Mooch and his gloriously inauspicious career in the White House. Also, Dave tells some really horrendous dad jokes. TeamClearCoat website AutoWerkz Blog TeamClearCoat Driv...
101-Katie and Lauren Go Karting, Ian Defends The Miata, And Dave Gets Mountain Misty
July 28, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 83.5 MBEpisode 101 It's not really an easy sell to get someone to agree to spend the evening with us in the blanket fort. Thankfully, our friends Katie and Lauren looked past the fact that they probably had better things to do and joined us for this week's show. We discuss what it's been like to be subjected to Ian's friendship and therefore his car buying advice, what you should and shouldn't use for bubble baths, tossed salad and scrambled eggs, and their reaction to joining us during an outin...
100B-We Manage To Not Screw Up Getting Interviewed By Nathan Adlen
July 22, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 87 MBEpisode 100-Part 2 For the second part of our 100th episode celebration, we're joined in the blanket fort by the always-delightful Nathan Adlen. In between teasing Ian about his license plate placement and wondering how Dave didn't burst into flames during a recent off-roading adventure, he played FMKcars, asked us listener questions and explained exactly what an Oldsmobile is. Along the way, we also covered the Picard v Kirk debate, extinct car brands, and the curious new phenomena of fu...
100A-We Manage To Not Screw Up A Second Interview With Doug Demuro - DOUG DEMURO!!!
July 21, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBEpisode 100-Part 1 In the year since we last talked to Doug DeMuro, his popularity has exploded, and we, well, we are still doing the podcast. For some reason, he agreed to come back and talk about why styling doesn't matter as much as us enthusiasts think it does, the pitfalls of Internet stardom, and the fantasy of demanding answers from car owners. Make sure you read everything Doug writes over at Autotrader's Oversteer page, and watch all of his great YouTube videos! Thanks Doug! Te...
99-Dave Drives Another Infiniti, Ian Stabs Himself In The Leg With A Fork To Stay Awake While Driving A Nissan Altima, And We Are The Lane Deviants
July 14, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 64.5 MBEpisode 99-I'm Lane, this is Deviant... Somewhere between willfully endangering Ian's life with a Takata airbag and creeping everyone out with a song about a cookie, Dave made some bold statements. He says the Subaru SVX should be considered the Delorean of the 90s, that the Infinity QX50 is not very good, and there's something called "lane deviance." After Ian located the exit (creepy cookie song still ringing in his ears), he made the not-so-bold claim that the new Golf R doesn't look ...
98-We Saw Baby Driver, We Loved Baby Driver, And Baby Driver Baby Driver Baby Driver
July 07, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 67.9 MBEpisode 98-We held hands the whole time. When it gets late in the blanket fort, things get punchy quick. Sometimes we just devolve into an endless stream of non-sequiturs. Since that's definitely what happened this week, here's what you can look forward to: a Buick Enclave that was customized and/or vandalized, driving in a car with some wood, a deep dive of gas station squeegee etiquette, and, uhh rounded mounds. So supplement your balanced pie-diet with some TeamClearCoat randomness. W...
97-Ian Receives An Apology, Dave Exposes His Bottom, And We Discuss Technology As The Equalizer
June 30, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 61.6 MBEpisode 97-In Loving Memory: Hey Y'all watch this! Like most other people, our judgement is usually awful. Like when Dave takes pictures of the new Kia Stinger while driving, or when Dave parks next to huge trucks, or when Dave goes down a YouTube rabbit hole of videos beginning with the phrase, "Hey Y'all!" But of all the bad judgements Dave has made, obviously the worst was leaving the writing of these episode descriptions totally up to Ian. TeamClearCoat website AutoWerkz Blog TeamClea...
96-Ian Licks A Car, Dave Makes Ian Go Through The Three Stages Of Terror, And We Get To Drive Cars On And Off Of Roads!
June 23, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 89 MBEpisode 96-We get it! Professional automotive journalists update: we got invited to a press event at a race track! And an offroading facility! No, we don't know why either. But we do know that a Kia surprised the hell out of us, we "get" offroading now, and Ian's going to need a minute after driving the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. It's all just so romantic! TeamClearCoat website TeamClearCoat Drivetribe TeamClearCoat YouTube Channel TeamClearCoat Instagram TeamClearCoat Twitter Tea...
95-Dave Gets A New Alter-Ego, Ian Walks Us Through The Safety Dance, And We Set Our Expectations Low.
June 16, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 56.6 MBEpisode 95-Low. It's critical in the blanket fort on this episode of TeamClearCoat. We talk about how we'd like to improve the Grand Tour season 2, how safe motorsports should really be, and Dave's new alter-ego Mr. T. Affy. There are ring-pops. Oh god we've said too much.

94-Dave Has A New Parking Lot Nemesis, Ian Wants To Yell At The Youths, And We Find A Happy Place
June 09, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 61 MBEpisode 94-Blanket Fort dress code? Donald Duck. In daily life, you experience varying levels of comfort in inter-personal interactions, and we run the gamut this week. On the nice end of the spectrum, Dave finds the most innocent oasis of kindness in the roiling tempest of terribleness that is the modern Internet, Ian takes his toddler to Cars and Coffee for the first time, and we discuss the amazing comfort of Donald Ducking. On the other hand, sometimes we're not so comfortable with ...
93-Ian Races A Maserati At Watkins Glen, Dave Rides A Bicycle At Watkins Glen, And We End Up In Bed Together. Twice.
June 02, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 87.5 MBEpisode 93-Doing it with my bro. Ummmmm… Right… Uhhhhhhh… Hmmmmm… Well, this is awkward: we have no prior experience or strategy for how to address success here at TeamClearCoat. So, it is with heavy hearts we must inform you our race weekend at Watkins Glen went very well. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated in this difficult time. Thank you, sorry.

92-Dave Takes Off His Shirt, Ian Laughs And Coughs, And We Pack Our Fireproof Underoos
May 25, 2017 18:00 - 1 hour - 80 MBEpisode 92-My Eyes! Is Dave stripping an example of him exerting his autonomy or is it basically an automated process at this point? Next question. What about members of the Twimp administration displaying willful ignorance, automation or autonomy? Us preparing for a race weekend? Automated? Not even close; our socks have autonomy and have escaped our suitcase.

91a-Ian Has A Confession...
May 23, 2017 05:00 - 21 minutes - 19.7 MBEpisode 91 Aftershow-It heads in more than One Direction. See what I did there? Sorry. When it comes to the concept of "enjoyment," it's sometimes a stretch for Ian. Unless we're talking about cardigans, the new Harry Styles album, or making awful noises into the microphone and making Dave sort out the levels later. Dave enjoys far more: the fact that Ian wears cardigans EVERYWHERE, coffee, and even his air travel hacks. TeamClearCoat website TeamClearCoat Drivetribe TeamClearCoat You...
91-Dave Sees A Paradox, Ian Is Patient Zero, And Everyone Loves The Weiner. Weinermobile. Right.
May 19, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 62.5 MBEpisode 91-It puts a smile on your face. Even LEGITIMATE AUTOMOTIVE JOURNALISTS have weaknesses, and when one of us (cough, glares at IAN) succumbs the weapons-grade germs of a toddler, the inevitable happens. So, with that sniffly disclaimer, you'll see that our metaphorical reverse lights are on, but we still plan on going forward. We push trough the piles of snot rags in this episode to talk about cars that inspire Google searches, automotive paradoxes, and actually perform our journal...
90-Ian Drives A Mini, Ian Drives A Dacia, And Ian Drives A Seat, Oh And Ian Drives Karts Too
May 12, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 77.3 MBEpisode 90-And Dave is jelly. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Step right up, step right up! Today we have for you a Classic Mini Cooper in its native habitat! And the curious case of a Romanian car amongst the snow and fires of Iceland! What's that? You're here for the freak show? Well then prepare yourself, protect your children: we have the rare North American Venz-bro!

89-ALEX ROY!!! THIS IS HAPPENING!!!
May 05, 2017 05:00 - 46 minutes - 41.3 MBEpisode 89-And he's hiding out in the Mitsubishi booth storage area no less... Let's sit down and make a list of all of the various topics that we love to talk about on this show. Okay, what do we have here: Technology Autonomous cars Infrastructure The cultural, ethical, and human impact of all three of those above items intersecting, overlapping, conflicting, and hopefully working together. Oh and let's throw in how all of these things impact an automotive enthusiast (and how an auto...
88-We Manage To Only Slightly Screw Up An Interview With Matt Covert, Founder Of Racers HQ
April 28, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 55.8 MBEpisode 88-Stunt Driver. Yep. Matt with Racers HQ sets his expectations appropriately low and joins us via Skype in the Blanekt Fort this week. We talk about stunt driving (and like us you probably heard a guitar riff in your head as you were reading those words, as you should). We also discuss racing, sim racing, confidence, rally co-driving, and of course some FMKCars. Make sure to check out Racers HQ and give them a follow on Twitter as well. > TeamClearCoat website TeamClearCoat Dri...
87-Dave Still Wants A Megane, Ian Cheats On Dave, And That Seems About Right
April 21, 2017 05:00 - 49 minutes - 45.6 MBEpisode 87-SHO burnouts? Sure!!! Family is important to car culture, and sometimes the stories we tell end up reflecting that. We're deep into our familial relationships on this week's show. Ian tells a story about his dad and driver's ed, Dave wonders about teasing your daughters, and we've decided we have a "poly-kart" relationship.

86-Dave And Ian Watch F1, And We Put The F In Feelings
April 14, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 60.8 MB- Episode 86-And Fun. And Friendship. But Not Furries. The secret to all great car-based entertainment is that they're really all about relationships. They all lure you in with talk of camshafts and oversteer, but they're really talking about feelings. It's subtext. But not with us! Take this week's episode - we spend a lot of time talking about each other and manage to sprinkle in a little talk about Formula One, the importance of ambition in luxury cars, and Dave's nascent racing career...
85-The 2017 Denver Auto Show
April 08, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 66.5 MBEpisode 85-Maybe leave the windows down for a bit. In a decision that can only be described as "ill-advised," your humble cohosts were granted press credentials for the 2017 Denver Auto Show. So in this episode, we provide a decidedly TeamClearCoat take on the auto show experience: we talk about the language of automakers, GM's Maven project, and of course we made it about Lincoln. Also, we farted in most of the cars. TeamClearCoat website TeamClearCoat Drivetribe TeamClearCoat YouTube...
84-Ian And Dave Go To The Track And Make It Back
April 07, 2017 05:00 - 58 minutes - 54.6 MBEpisode 84-Vrooooom! TeamClearCoat is capable of delivering surprises from time to time. Today, we're surprising everyone with a new website, which contains a few easter eggs. Other surprises include how well Dave's car takes that one corner at High Plains Raceway, and that we have to wrap this up due to Legitimate Automotive Journalism Pursuits. Totally not surprising is that the Trump administration is crippling the EPA, Ian ran himself nearly out of gas at the track, and oh man we REA...
83-We Pop And Crack In A Ford Focus RS
April 06, 2017 05:00 - 24 minutes - 21.4 MBEpisode 83-Pop pop fizz fizz Oh what a relief it is. To finally get out of this car. Ian LOVED it. Dave felt like he got beat with a thousand tennis racquets. But after love and beatings, we still think about this car. It's still in our mind, and it makes us want to drive a VW Golf R more than ever.

82-We Manage To Not Screw Up An Interview With Alex Davies-Transportation Editor for Wired
April 05, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBEpisode 82-Alex Davies Is Awesome Edition Alex Davies, Transportation Editor for Wired joins us in the blanket fort this week. We talk about Congress and other unproductive boondoggles like the construction zone problem, the Uber vs Google fight, and of course, old Saabs. We may not have arrived at any answers in this discussion, but we think we may have stumbled on the right questions. Be sure to read EVERYTHING Alex writes for WIRED!!!

81-Ian Drives Dave's Old Man Infiniti
April 04, 2017 05:00 - 54 minutes - 46.7 MBEpisode 81-And he's suddenly inspired to yell at the youths to get off of his lawn. One night in the recent past, Dave volunteered to take Ian to a Craigslist transaction (read: his own murder). When he showed up, Ian was ordered into the driver's seat and we started recording. Driving around Denver, a few things were confirmed: Ian will begin all new endeavors with a list of complaints, protein shakes are basically just farts in a can, and Dave already came up with the perfect metaphor f...
80a-Growlers of Chai and Sleepy Dave
April 03, 2017 04:00 - 24 minutes - 23 MBEpisode 80 Aftershow Sometimes, all you want to do is scald a hippie with hot coffee and laugh maniacally, but you can't because of "society" and "laws" and "the need to model good behavior for your child." We talk about that and other injustices on this week's aftershow. Like Dave narrowly missing seeing a date gone dramatically wrong, or how late Ian made him stay up to record this show.

80-Ian Watches A Race, Dave Watches Ian Watch A Race, And We Eat Candy
March 31, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 77.2 MBEpisode 80-Candy from afar! Thanks Jake! We all greet everything with which we interact a level of tolerance and patience. And on this week's show, we're all over the map. Dave is barely tolerating to Ian's lack of focus, Ian has no patience for Porsche wheels on a Volkswagen, and don't even TRY to put a Shins CD in a Lincoln Town Car. But we feel other things too! Dave pities F1 fans, we're excited about free candy, and everyone's grateful not to have a terminal case of Hootie And The Bl...
79a-Is Our Friendship Is A Lie?
March 28, 2017 02:00 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MBEpisode 79a-No, no....no. As terrible as both our memories are, we finally figured out it's entirely possible we hate each other. Yes, the hosts of what is basically "Dave and Ian Are Friends: The Show" may just routinely forget the ways in which they hate each other. Our friendship is a lie, basically. But here are some things that aren't lies: Dave gets sleepy faster than any other human, there's a very simple and obvious reason we're not higher in the iTunes rankings, and Spoon is basi...
79-Dave Laughs, Ian Coughs, And We Discover A Car Neither Of Us Will Drive. Or Touch. Ewww.
March 24, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 76.4 MBEpisode 79 If you regularly wave your finger in the air and prepend your hot knowledge with "well, ACTUALLY," you're either Ian's toddler or a car enthusiast on the Internet. And either way, you'll likely find plenty to object to in this week's episode. Hacking autonomous cars with salt, Ferrari trim levels and the intricacies of an Infiniti steering rack could all get us in trouble with the pedantic among us. But what's not up for debate is that some people overshare with their license p...
78-Dave Drowns In A Sea Of Audio Cables, Ian Finally Learns How To Fix VW Electrical Issues, And We Agree On Things
March 17, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 71.3 MBEpisode 78-Near Miss Whether you're living in the city, driving in the mountains, or trying to troubleshoot some irritating audio problems, there are going to be some near-misses. And near-misses are familiar to the makers of the Dodge Caliber SRT4, the Ferrari marketing department, and the gentleman who vomited just outside his car.

77a-Work Those Levers
March 14, 2017 06:00 - 40 minutes - 36.7 MBEpisode 77a-Deep state. Despite being set in the decidedly pointless TeamClearCoat after-show, this week's conversation has an actual point. We discuss why process is sometimes the most important thing. Whether it's why you've decided to go rogue and join the deep state, how you've arrived at a great piece of art, or just what you do before sitting on your couch, process drives everything. Oh, and Ian recommends a band he can't pronounce. TeamClearCoat Drivetribe TeamClearCoat YouTube ...

March 10, 2017 06:00 - 1 hour - 61 MBEpisode 77-It means teeth. Yeah. That's for later in the show. It's all about happy places this time around on TeamClearCoat. It turns out the Prius forums are the happiest places on the Internet, the Focus RS is our happy place, and being more stubborn than a thing is hard will make even a bystander happy.

76-We Didn't Prepare, But We Still Figured Out What Car Was Born From A Corporate Boardroom Human Centipede
March 03, 2017 06:00 - 59 minutes - 55.1 MBEpisode 76-There's no other way to explain that thing. Once in a while, when you just start talking without preparing beforehand, hard-and-fast truths come tumbling out. And so it is with this week's episode; with no preparation whatsoever, we determined that karting is actually a valid mental health treatment, that the 2011 Saab 9-5 is still stunning, and that the Plymouth Prowler is the Human Centipede of cars. Also, Ian rants about Baby Boomers. They can't all be winners, folks. Te...
75a-Ian's First Word Was A Disappointed Sigh
February 27, 2017 06:00 - 19 minutes - 19.2 MBEpisode 75a-And Dave's were asking the whereabouts of taffy. Should you ask the TeamClearCoat idiots to play musical instruments? Just when did Ian develop his trademark sigh? And should we be worried about Richard Simmons? All of this plus some music talk in this week's after-show.

February 24, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 64.8 MBEpisode 75-FMKIRL After more than a year of doing the show, we've accumulated a whole stack of ignored, discarded or otherwise forgotten about ideas. And since we're now Legitimate Automotive Journalists, we're allowed to dive into our drafts folder and discover cars of the 90s, take very long tangents on multiverse theory, and reiterate Dave's old-man-ness.

74-Don't Lick A Sick Kid's Nose, Bizarro Ian And Dave, And The Podcast, The Podcast, The Podcast Cast Pod
February 17, 2017 06:00 - 1 hour - 68.6 MBEpisode 74-Just don't Unfortunately, we all live in the era of the Hot Take, so it was inevitable that we'd produce an entire episode of them. How's this for a hot take: we should lower everyone's car so they have to dodge potholes instead of text. And that's before we go off the deep end and discuss personal responsibility vs regulation and Lawrence Ulrich's fantastic article on The Drive about how cars are inseparable from politics. Finally, during the Old Man Hour, we discuss an old ma...
73-Dave Learns About His Loins, Ian Exposes His Linkage, And We Need Badges...Or Crossbows
February 10, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 80.9 MBEpisode 73-We neeeeeeeeed them. Not sure if we've ever mentioned it before, but both of us are IT guys. I know - it's a shock! But for us, the worst case scenario is a live demo that fails. So of course we had to talk about the Faraday Future launch at CES. We also discussed several other worst-case scenarios, like when you don't do a walk-around of your rental car, when you witness an accident waiting to happen, or when you get the chance of a lifetime and can't take advantage. But it's ...
72a-The TeamClearCoat Aftershow - Behind The Blanketfort
February 06, 2017 11:00 - 33 minutes - 34.6 MBEpisode 72a - I keep saying it in that VH1 Behind The Music guy's voice. Is it good, or is it interesting? Not only does that apply to our show, but sometimes to the first few listens of an album. For this after show, we discussed some things that we can difinitively say are great: Dave's new favorite EDM track, played by a giant printer, Twitter wolves, and Dave's "hey y'all" rule.

72-Ian Gets Serviced - Against His Will, Dave Seals Himself In A Camper Van, And We Defend Our Island From A Jet Skiing Cheeto
February 03, 2017 06:00 - 1 hour - 70 MBEpisode 72-We're back, and better than ever! Well, we're back at least. Come, join us on our mental health island! It's full of cars - broken Saabs, beautiful Volvos, and exciting new Kias. We can even start a Werther's Original liveried racing tea... Wait. Is that spray-tanned jerk on the jet ski back? FINE. We'll talk about the stupid wall! Also, in what we can only assume is an ill-advised and poorly thought out attempt, we're now on YouTube! Follow along and see the cars we talk abo...
71-Dave Is A Nightmare On The Playground, Ian At The Gardens Is A WHOLE THING, And We Talk A Lot
January 07, 2017 06:00 - 1 hour - 99.1 MBEpisode 71-The part when Nico starts touching the other baby's head... We're discussing some emergency situations this time on the TeamClearCoat podcast. Dave has a Code Brown while driving home for the holidays, Ian has a parental emergency, and what did we do with those stupid paper tickets?
