Those Project Car Blues Jun 18, 2014

Show notes

Jeff Glucker and Blake Z. Rong are back together in the podcast palace of love. The main subject for episode 64? Banged up, clapped-out, project cars.

Blake's Miata... is dead.
Jeff's Civic... is dead.

Listen in and found out what's going on with both cars, before the two hosts ultimately diverge into a series of weirder and weirder tangents.

Two Wheels, BAD! Jun 11, 2014

Show notes

Zack Klapman from /DRIVE and The Smoking Tire joins me for Episode 63 of the Hooniverse Podcast. We have no agenda this evening, but our conversations surround two main topics.

Zach talks about his horrific motorcycle accident from back when he was in college.
We discuss the application of the term "supercar" and if the term "hypercar" needs to exist.

Oh, and I digress to talk about an awesome snowboarding documentary called The Crash Reel. It's seriously good... just like this episode of the podcast.

Stop stalling and make the leap to listen to Episode 63.

'MURICA Jun 04, 2014

Show notes

Antti is still in California so we have him back on board for a second round of podcast pleasure. Jeff returns to host the party with guest Antti joined by producer Chris Hayes.

The chatter pretty much just focuses on Antti's trip to the states. He's been roadtripping in a 2014 Dodge Challenger RT Blacktop, and then we had him switch into a Ram 3500 HD Dually (MWUAHAHAHAHA).

What did he do with the truck? Apparently he went to Walmart and bought American flags... seriously.

Finn it to win it. May 28, 2014

Show notes

This week we welcome Hooniverse contributor and 1980s culture afficianado Antti Kautonen (@julkinen) to the podcast palace. Antti has traveled all the way from Suomi Finland for his very first visit to the states where he was welcomed by the 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T. In this episode we spend an inordinate amount of time discussing french hot hatches, scandinavian hot rodding, semi obscure GM V6 engines, and why Finns love Camaros.

DRIVEing down the lane May 21, 2014

Show notes

This week Jeff Glucker is joined by podcast producers Chris Hayes and Zack Klapman.

Zack just got back from Europe where he is now a field producer with the /DRIVE team. The big news, of course, being that /DRIVE will be appearing on NBC Sports. Klapman talks a bit about his journey across the pond.

Chris recently bought a scooter, and we dive into that a bit as well.

New car chatter involves the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, GM woes, and ... something that isn't a car at all, but a plane. There's a bit of info on the Civic and also the Wombat as well. Listen in and enjoy!

Show notes

Here are the notes I've been given for this episode of the Hooniverse Podcast. The guests this week are the fine folks behind Regular Car Reviews.

This is basically an insane persons brain... unraveling:

visiting LA
Pennsylvania references
rocko's modern life
business panties
scooters
catholic vs protestant church
embarassing neon
motorcycle repair
driving through nyc
tatra
honda fit
zuma 125
ruckus
motorcycles
dodge omni
dodge neon
toyota echo

?As weird as that list looks, it's actually quite clear that these guys should be running Hooniverse...

Blake Does The Worst Southern Accent Ever May 07, 2014

Show notes

It's so bad, we had to title the episode in its honor.

The guest this week is George Notaras, better known as Moto Man and he's back for more. Blake is in charge because Jeff has a mega fever. The talk roams between NY Auto Show follow up chatter and a whole bunch of other automotive randomness.

It's time for another episode of the Hooniverse Podcast.

Honda's Hero Apr 30, 2014

Show notes

Jeff Glucker and Blake Z. Rong are joined by a legend in the automotive industry, Kurt Antonius. This is the man who single handedly formed a PR division for Honda. He was there for all of the important vehicle launches along the way, was a major part of the creation of Acura, and also helped the marketing and PR efforts for Honda Performance Development and the IndyCar program.

To say that he's had an important career is an understatement, and we wish we could share the off-the-record stuff... what you hear on the podcast is pretty damn entertaining though too.

NYIAS 2014: The Freedom Top Apr 18, 2014

Show notes

Host Jeff Glucker heads to New York for the 2014 New York International Auto Show. He brings the podcast palace to the big apple party, and he's joined by guests Kamil Kaluski of Hooniverse, Patrick George of Jalopnik.com, and George Kennedy of Bold-Ride.com and the Boston Globe. Of course, the intial chatter is related to some of the new cars being shown in NYC, however it eventually changes and the group talks about some stuff they've driven recently... and The Freedom Top.

We're Talking About Racing with Justin Wilson Apr 16, 2014

Show notes

IndyCar driver Justin Wilson joins Jeff Glucker and Blake Z. Rong in the podcast palace. The chatter dives right into the world of motorsports, of which Justin is a prominent figure. He's won at nearly every level in which he's competed, and he's now gunning for a strong showing in the 2014 Indy season.

Eventually we talk about some non racing bits, including the NSX, which Jeff can't stop talking about.

If you're a fan of motorsports, this will be our greatest podcast episode ever. If you're not, it's still pretty damn awesome.
