Apex Adjacent

In this episode Dave once again joins Ian in Club Hatchback! We go over his recent purchase, as well as some great MyEyes and a temple-rubbingly dumb Carstanza. We love you everyone! For the love of all things, vaxxed and stay safe!!!

We're absolutely honored to have the one and only Doug DeMuro back in the virtual blanket fort this week! In this week's show we talk vanity license plates, his incredible auction site Cars and Bids, and how the Tesla Plaid CHANGED HIM. Thank you Doug, we had a blast talking to you!

In this week's episode we talk about what's on our minds. On one hand you have the Nazi car that won the highest award at Pebble Beach so...yeah, and on the other hand you have everything that's happening in Afghanistan right now, and yet on even more hands you have us doing our best to do a car show and...kittens. Really a mixed bag this week, but hey, we are what we are and the world is what it...

This week we are humbled to have Victoria Scott on the show! She's an amazing writer and photographer and an absolute joy. We truly had an amazing time talking with Victoria and we know you'll have a great time listening along. We love you!

It's not really off-brand for us to diverge, but bison? Sure. Anyway, besides us fawning over our large bison sons we talk about a new vanity plate proposition from our buddy Donnie. We love you!

Honestly, there is no description that could do this thing justice. Really, no words. Speechless. We love you, and we love the person that made this insane thing. Shine on you crazy diamond.

In this week's episode Ian contemplates the living hell that playing golf sober would be. It turns out that our resident golf-hater has been driving Golfs and golf carts into fields for quite some time. We love you!

What else is there for us to explore about ourselves other than how absolutely nerdy we can be? In this week's show we discuss how we have each crossed our own Rubicon of Dorkiness, from which we will never return. We love you everyone, stay safe out there!

In this week's show we talk all things climate with Colorado Public Radio's Climate and Environmental Editor, Joe Wertz.

OMG EPISODE THREE HUNDRED!!! Holy cow. Here we are. Back in the blanketfort and straight in to your earballs and eyeholes. We couldn't have done three hundo episo without you. We love you.

Since Dave is out of the loop, Ian brings him up to speed on YokeGate. In return, Dave presents Ian with a golf-themed license plate game. We love you everyone, stay safe out there!

There really is no limit to what Ian will do with his R32. In this episode he recounts his experience taking his son camping, watching as his car was bump-inspected by a gigantic bull, and somehow rockets were involved? Okay. We love you.

There are a few things that you can count on when it comes to Apex Adjacent. One, Dave does, and will continue to do, WEIRD stuff while karting. Two, we hit the blanket fort therapy session in under 5 minutes. And three? We've got takes. This time it's on Tesla and the new Ford F-150 Lightning. We love you.

Ian is back from outer space! Well, Oklahoma City, so you know, space but with way more corn and the like. In our episode this week Ian retells his weekend racing: the highs, the lows, and the big green thing that kept him warm at night. We love you!

In this week's episode we're honored to have Patrick George on the show! We discuss the democratization of automotive media, car media's sustainability, and what elements of traditional media we love. If you really want to get into how the automotive media sausage is made, this is the episode for you.

We've often stated that grief is a part of the automotive ownership process. In this week's episode it hits way too close to home. Pour out some 0W-40 and light some direct ignition cassettes on fire as Dave's Viggen is no more. We love you.

Adam! Ten Tenths! This has been a long time coming. We've even sat down across from one another in the before times in REAL PHYSICAL SPACE and consumed BBQ together! Yeah! But it's taken us YEARS to get our good buddy Adam on the show. Well, the waiting is over!!!

On this week's show we talk about the things that everyone else is talking about. We're talking Teslas, and we even talk about talking about Teslas. Woah. We love you.

There's not much that needs to be said about this week's episode beyond the fact that we're thankful to talk to each other about everything that's going on in and out of our car bubbles. Please take care of yourselves everyone, stay safe, and remember that we love you.

This week we're absolutely humbled to have Chris Rosales on the show! Chris writes insightful and poignant pieces that discuss car culture and how it fits in to culture as a whole. Give his work a read over at Car Bibles, trust us, it's just the kind of stuff we love to ponder.

In this week's episode Ian tells us about a time he had an encounter with toxic brosculinity. Dave gives Ian a music-themed license plate game, and our buddy Joe managed to find the EXACT OPPOSITE of the Booty N Pizza windshield decal guy. We love you everyone, stay safe out there.

We had a fantastic time talking to Chrissy and Jeff from the Everyone Racers podcast! They are super-experienced endurance racers and we had a fantastic conversation around endurance racing, vanity plates and rental cars. Thank you so much for hanging out in the virtual blanketfort with us, you're welcome back any time!

This week's episode is AWESOME, no two ways about it. Joining us in the virtual blanketfort is Syd, the owner, operator, artist, and all around awesome person behind OHOAT! She makes INCREDIBLE art and AMAZING things you should absolutely buy!

We're super humbled this week to have David Obuchowski in the virtual blanket fort this week! David's an awesome podcast host and producer, be sure to binge all of the Tempest episodes, and an all-around awesome member of the automotive community!

We'd be lying if we said we're comfortable in EVERY single situation we encounter. Press events. Bank lines. Urologist Exams. Basically every encounter with us equals at least one uncomfortable person and usually it's us. In this week's episode we talk about Ian's recent discomfort and how he'd prefer for his mechanic interactions to go.
