Hank Watson's Garage Hour Podcast

Garage Hour reload: the Poseur List.  Everything you do to your ride that guarantees you're not cool (or just an idiot).  Worse - even if you aren't a schmuck, these are the build decisions make you look like one.  Everything from anti-tuning to bad towing, parts fighting parts, and stiff lifts, your embarrassments are cataloged.  We're here to help. In pure Garage Hour tradition, Dirty Dave and Grizzly Chris ensured we got lost in other stuff - Greedo shot in the speedo, Blazing Haley, the new Pizza Port (now liquor), falling down drunk in your own front yard, and a chat with Tuna Pete from Barona Dragstrip.  Why not?  It's the Garage Hour.

The Garage Hour: we've been waiting for you. What started out as the Garage Hour's famous "Gearhead Gifting" special rapidly veered off-course into fighting men (from dive-bombing presidents to white-sheet navy) and their weapons (from quad-.50 M-16 half-tracks to clip-pinging Garands), the toilet librarian, the growing hazard posed by a desperate Chinese military in the South Pacific, Silkworms, Phalanxes, the brown note and sage words from .45 Phil. Gringo Rich and the Diesel Ayatollah join the fracas at Protector Brewery, where the Gearhead Consultancy sipped the lasted batch of Defender IPA, Baghdad Special and West Coast while lamenting the absence of The Juice and Pineapple Grenade (the beer).

Ahhhh, Garage Hour.  Just the scratch for your #FBlackFriday itch - we've got standard-issue gen-Z and hipster harassment (you poor phone-zombie shopping fools), plus a whole lot of real-people stuff like duck, pheasant, goose and crane hunting (#skysteak), beers and drinking in France, shop-vacs, axis spins and the introduction of Chooch from Subie Stickers. Hostus Maximus Justin Fort and gun-building machine Gringo Rich (#militaryhaircuts) also jumped on for this episode from Protector Brewery, which means whether you're proud of your #meatonastick or just want to #wandyourjerky, we've got your #gearheadfix.

No fartin' around here: straight from the garage, the Gearhead Consultancy discusses its newfound free-to-we old-school monster Snap-On toolbox, as well as how to haul it without murdering all the people in traffic so unfortunate as to be in our rear-view. The Garage Hour goons also dig into toolbox values, weight, dimensions, cleaning, lifting and unloading, how many guys it takes (and how many beers), craftsmanship, theft, moving, and how many urban campers can live in one. More goodies: Baja 1000 border fun, tales of rock, roll, techno and new shows, Duramax versus EcoBoost, "real" versus Chinese straps, Found On Road Awesome, and what Navy guys call Iranian speedboats.

It's all ball-bearings nowadays, unless you're a gearhead on the Garage Hour: too many projects + not enough arms = late uploads.  Thanks for waiting around (we're worth it). This one's a late-night special - Chef Jeff and Gringo Rich support Hostus Maximus Justin Fort's occupation of Protector Brewery's tasting room in the Beeralani Maker's District, but that's the only part that followed the plan.  From bleeding (brakes) to gears and axles (broken), the Consultancy immediately veers off into Nine Inch Nails, old motorcycles and snowblowers, the Belushi Effect and the 17-Year Old Effect. The goons kidnapped Amanda from Protector to chat up their new brews too, including a S.M.A.S.H. named C2, a brut called Brutus and a fruit ale dubbed Berserker.  She knows more about beer than we do, plus she's pretty: yes, have some!

This is the inaugural Garage Hour Dude Food Chili Showoff, live from Protector Brewery.  This is also gearhead awesomeness. #1:  Do you like chili?  We made four.  Ruben from Smoke 'N Aces' watermelon chili beat Chef Jeff's pork cushion chili verde for "People's Choice" by one vote.  Mr. G's salsa and two-bean chili and Hostus Maximus Justin Fort's two-meat chilis were popular, but could not measure up to the professional chefs. #2:  Do you remember where you were on 9/11?  We take a serious moment for reflections on where we were, why we re-enlisted, how we felt and how many Tomcats we scrambled on 9/11. #3:  Do you want your multibillion-dollar car company to be headed by a pot-smoking vampire?  We debate Elon "Caligula" Musk and his progress in circling the drain. Because we're awesome, that ain't all, folks.  Direct from Pizza-Wrench Monkey Oven Brewing, there's also halal VS anti-halal chili, why 3-D printed guns are a First Amendment before they're a Second Amendment issue, and sorry about the delayed

You can't get this kind'a gearhead awesomesauce without a license... or a warrant...  The Garage Hour goons assembled at Location A for an hour of hard parts and broken bits.  The Diesel Ayatollah and Gringo Rich performed a complete Harbor Freight compressor teardown during the show, much to Hostus Maximus Justin Fort's chagrin (poor bastard was trying to run a show...). Once the fleer diaphragm and hoseplot dialopter were adjusted to spec, however, it was all trucks and rocks and bonk, with extensive tales from the depths of high-mountain Colorado.  Nothing like a weeklong diet of boulders, scree fields, knobby tires, murderous hyraxes and brewery after brewery to make the Ouray-Silverton-Durango off-roading mecca go like a champ - one of the best FJ Summits in memory.  Thanks to Rock Hound Off-Road and Marlin Crawler for making getting there (and get-back) possible.

Breweries, wineries, meaderies, cideries, sakeries, distilleries, cofferies, salseries - it must be another episode in the Beeralani Makers' District with Protector Brewing. The Garage Hour goons link up with Protector point-man and retired SEAL Sean Hannity...  sorry, Haggerty...  for an hour of fine sippin' with good beers, including the Beast, Pineapple Grenade IPA - .45 Phil's new favorite - and Punisher Pils.  Haggerty, .45 and a Canadian tourist also trade tales of things they brewerd and drank in Iraq, including Protector's first beer, a heff brewed in Ramadi called the Baghdad Special.  Then the cohosts kung-fu fight over fresh, delicious Mister G's salsa (courtesy of Mike the Duck). From there, it's trucks and guns - Hostus Maximus and the Diesel Ayatollah go to town on trail-prep for a big run to Colorado's highlands, and everyone shares stories of their favorite assault rifle (It's a trick; get it? Anything you assault anyone with is an assault thing. Hit somebody with your phone and it's an assau

Garage Hour reload?  Yes, please.  The gearhead goons are joined in-studio by Colonel Rick Powell, who was (at the time) candidate for Califzuela's 78th Assembly District. This episode explores Col. Powell's thoughts on the threat posed by California's bureaucracy to small business and regular folk, as well as DeTomaso Panteras, teaching kids to ride, boxers versus briefs, off-road gates and why access is important, and how common sense can be worn as a shield against the kleptobureaucracy of KA.
