Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns

You can't have this sort of awesome without a license, or a warrant: it's the Garage Hour and their goon-approved truckload of gearhead goodness. To keep things level, in this show, we chased one of our Superstition Mountain episodes with a primer for the big Tierra del Sol off-road jamboree: thousands of trucks and tens of thousands of 'froading fans on one excellent piece of terrain in the SoCal...

It started with trucks (and what ain't), but like any good party, the Garage Hour rarely winds up where it began.  If you like trucks, hate cars, have a soft spot for Jeeps, are looking for a checklist of what's a truck, or just can't bring yourself to count all the Honda Ridgelines in the Starbucks parking lot, have we got a show for you. Joined at Helix Brewing (drinkhelix.com) by a few of the C...

This classic Garage Hour reload brings RJ from San Diego 4-Wheelers into the studio to talk through the upcoming Superstition Mountain Run. Trails, terrain, rocks, sand (and the legendary Sand Dam), raffle prizes, and the family-friendly goodness that off-roading at Superstition. How about cool desert junk?  XJs versus TJs and Jeep's 4.0 versus the new minivan-based V6?  Crawling on the starter, c...

Do you like beer?  Do you like Bond?  Well, then this is your favorite episode of the Garage Hour and you haven't even listened yet.  Skully/lowbrow/Day-Dead artist Dave Lozeau and Garage Hour host and gearhead savant Justin Fort team up in the Lozeau studios to take an X-Acto knife to James Bond movies across the ages, all of it powered by local beers. What's on tap?  Bond's Lotus and Bond's Citr...

Now  that's  a Garage Hour - all beer, all the time (well, there was some rock & roll too, but we know you like it).  Hostus Maximus Justin Fort brings beer friends (and fine brewers in their own right) Mike "Underinsured" Maass and Jeff "Flex" Weideker of Burning Beard Brewing (burningbeardbrewing.com) to Helix Brewing in lovely, scenic, unmolested industrial La Mesa, where they're joined by the...

Pure Garage Hour reload right here: Hostus Maximus Justin Fort does a rare solo show and displays some of the chops that   helped turn   a few moments of   gearhead powa into a five-plus year talk show juggernaut. Who's on?  Mitch Dorr, Goodyear Super Stock racer at Crandon and son of short-course Rough Rider legend "Geoff "Mr. Personality" Dorr.  What's in it?  Cash for Clunkers (we were right),...

Sometimes there's just enough episode for one really big point, and this was one of those nights.  Recording at Helix Brewing Co. in La Mesa, CA, the Garage Hour goons (well, just two goons plus Miss Pink) spent some solid time talking about what California's misguided (or likely just wrong) "elected" representatives have been doing to your Second Amendment.  Don't be shocked - bad things are comi...

Wondering why your favorite trail is locked up now?  Can't figure out why the off-roading that Americans have always done is suddenly verboten and frowned upon?  Can't stand the tree-hugging watermelon environmentalist elitists who seem to keep taking away the freedoms you hold dear?  Well, have we got a show for you - a bit of a glimpse into the behavior (and the names) of people and companies th...

True to form, the Garage Hour goons have recorded another ricochet episode: so much topic, so little time.  Too many good guests and too many powerful cohosts means what little rudder this episode had won't be enough - beer craft and hop styles, AR-15s and AK-47s (and how to wreck an AK, from someone who did it back when the bad guys wore black PJs), wine versus Prius owners, forklifts, food truck...

So much good stuff…  Do you like your gearhead awesomeness covered in political gravy and conspiracy sauce?  This Garage Hour has your number.  Hell, all of 'em do. Right out of the gate, it's cohost Crag Maxwell versus La Mesa's Mayor Methuselah (who had the kimchee to threaten the only guy in East County who can tuck in his shirt), but that doesn't last - this episode dives quickly towards the M...

From a steamroller intro charged with goon-hosin' wankery to our favorite government agency, the ATF (Alcohol, Trucks & Firearms), THIS is one of the epic ricochetfest Garage Hours that have made the show famous.  Cohosts .45 Phil and Crag Maxwell buttressed Hostus Maximus Justin Fort for this one. Forget the storyline - how about a list? 1. Sasquatch, 2. Sasquatchy chicks, 3. Imperial red beers,...

With everyone in the studio either dying or trying, this Garage Hour was doomed to be awesome from the start.  Who doesn't love reminding the English that the nation which brought us Churchill and Thatcher and Clarkson and Ozzy is now known for Piers Morgan?  The Garage Hour goons figure they'll just drop his silly 2A-hating limey butt in Detroit for a night or three and he'll change his limo-libe...

Our live-from-the-brewhouse episodes are some of the best talk radio ever to grace the airwaves.  So much personality, so much information, and a pure drill-down on what really makes a brewery tick. The Garage Hour goons - .45 Phil, Chef Jeff, Kurtis Who Shall Be Named, and Troy from Powder1 - join Hostus Maximus Justin Fort in his chat with Mike and Jeff, the East County originals behind Burning...
