Hard to Believe Stories From Early Automotive History | Stupiracy Feb 12, 2026

Show notes

The first automobile didn’t come from Henry Ford.

There were only two cars in Ohio — and they still managed to crash into each other.

Cadillac once tried putting a toilet inside the car.

And Henry Ford? He pulled over to eat weeds on the side of the road.

In this episode of Stupiracy — presented by Carstar — we dig into the strange, awkward, and often ridiculous early days of the automotive industry. Before Bluetooth. Before seatbelts. Before anyone really knew what they were doing.

From Carl Benz’s original motor wagon to America’s bizarre “Horsey Horseless,” from the first recorded car crash to Henry Ford’s obsession with roadside greens and preserving Thomas Edison’s final breath in a vial, this episode explores the messy trial-and-error era that built the modern automobile. Along the way, we revisit failed inventions like in-car toilets, fifth-wheel parallel parking experiments, and dashboard record players — proof that innovation doesn’t always go smoothly.

Turns out, before cars made sense… they got very weird.

TMA (2-11-26) Hour 4 - Positive Baggage Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

(00:00-16:32) Do hats kill hair? Get the magic wand, then get the composite. 6'3 and delightful. The crown is where it's thinning. Naked mens' shins. I live in the periphery. Does Kai have a ponytail? How much money is plenty of money? Life in media, man. Positive baggage.

(16:40-23:02) This net worth discussion has really activated the text inbox. Can't count home equity. White trash loan structure. Hard to decide what has angered the audience the most today.

Show notes

(00:00-24:54) Scott Boras has an idea for MLB's television issues. MLB vs. NBA in terms of television deals. This time next year we may be getting ready for no spring training. We stand with Tuft on Tim's facial hair. Can't picture Doug with facial hair. Jackson's off his meds and just freebasing life. The toys of the current incel community. Pinewood Derby Dads. Drones.

(25:02-1:01:12) Happy birthday, Khalid. JR just appeared in studio after Chairman grabbed him out of the stall. Deals getting done in the bathroom. Enjoying his time off during the break. What JR's learned so far this morning on the show. JR doesn't see the team building around Jordan Kyrou. Who do you build around that's on the roster now? Jackson's slot car comments have become very divisive. Daddy Padre moves up the depth chart if the Blues move Binnington. Cologne talk. Earn the smell. The Strickland Clause.

(1:01:22-1:14:37) Chocolate Town. Martin hates the song "Closing Time." What's the worst song of all time? Did Eileen have a peg leg? The Rascal Flats curse.

Name 10 cities more desirable than St. Louis. You can only grow if you expand. English to Donnybrook translator. Doug is dashing Jackson's dreams.

(16:42-26:11) What other body parts would Jackson give up for the NBA? The ESPN/MLB TV debacle. Double paywall. Wait, there's new articles. A warm hug of nostalgia.
