04.12.23(MP3): Greetings From The T-Shirt Planet! Fake Car Sounds, Fraudulent Electric Car Emissions, Foolish Bureaucrats Traff*@€ing w/ Your Right to Roam, Cronyism @ Ford, Badge Dishonesty, Catalytic Killings, + Keeping Old Farts On Cam (More Inputs!)
02/05/2023 Duration: 01h02minDo you want alien archeologists to brand Earth the T-shirt and cardboard planet? We neither, so let’s get to work quelling the free-farce zone built upon by bumper stickers, bad governance, idiot officials and ideology that can’t get past its first foot forward. Expand your inputs (think from the firehose) - AM is a part of unexpected reality, and that’s good. Challenge the bubble - Car & Driver is taking down the fake figures supporting e-car efficiency. Ridicule bureaucrats when they say things that don’t make sense - racist roads and electric tanks? ...And call out corruption when you see it - Sniffy Joe’s White House basement just hired Ford’s China-funded battery lobbyist. WT capital F? More to love (perhaps it’s time for a diet): cyborgs, hard-boiled eggs, New Jersey-level paranoid, electric NASCAR and quiet Thunderboats, are catalytic thefts being buoyed by the skidplate industry, plus Folk Implosion, Man or Astroman, Mastodon, Cujo, Beck, DJ Shadow, Gruntruck and Bio-Mechanical Degeneration

04.03.23(MP3): Americans Stock Up! 60Million New Guns Ain’t Wrong (+Millions of 1st-Timers), w/ 400 Rounds in 4 Hours (Practice), Unconstitutional Laws (Common Use), Smart Guns (Ain’t), +Florida Bacteria, Exploding Rockets, Tyrannosauruses & Yuengling
26/04/2023 Duration: 58minYou’re the geek, so you understand the importance of the Second Amendment (probably to the point of being obnoxious). Good - we too. This piece gathers the bits, including the massive growth of ownership, all the new (and novel) firearms owners, the importance of training - don’t buy 10 guns, buy one and ten boxes of bullets. ...Or maybe 100. Then the Gearhead Consultancy flubs the Constitution (we should all grab a copy and bone up), but saves the day with background on bad laws from Washington state (a rifle ban?) and bad ideas from idiots (“smart” guns)... What’s more: Atomic Bitchwax, Southern Culture, Failure, Goatsnake, For Love Not Lisa, Josh Wink, Corrosion, Bowie, and Al King with Stevie Ray. Also, Legos for kids and adults, tyrannosaurus skeletons for the living room, T-90s for truck stops, bacteria for everyone, good PR for exploding billions, beers for Americans, and tranny fluid for pinkos.

21/04/2023 Duration: 01h10minSo much good stuff: why Johnny Cab is planning to kill you, why nobody wants electric cars, why gov’t choices aren’t, why electric cars are a social contagion too, why gov’t action is an inverse penalty, why more CO2 is a good thing, why 60% of new cars can never be electric, why artificial intelligence isn’t, and why robot cars are causing new and innovative traffic jams. Also, F-16 flyovers, hooch VS hooch, Budweiser’s tranny fail (is more than a missed gear), “She’s So Heavy” and “Spaceship Landing”, and Kyuss, Anthrax, Southern Culture on the Skids, Bio-Mechanical Degeneration, Living Colour, Beatles, Volbeat, Zeppelin, The Rev and Machines of Loving Grace.
