Episode 56a-We don’t know either, but we have a hunch. The TeamClearCoat After-Show: What is this? What are we doing here? Well, this time we’re giving a quick update on the preparations for our road trip to Road America, Dave eats yet more candy, and Ian talks about his long history of loving explosions. Hey! Did you know you can… Read more →

Episode 56-Just another synonym Do Dave and Ian know some words? Ostensibly. It’s punchy in the blanket fort this time. Dave and Ian have a hard time staying on task, so they end up talking about candy, tiny homes, and when it’s appropriate to stab someone. Eventually, they make their way back to how Formula One’s new owners can fix… Read more →

Episode 55a-We can’t believe we haven’t gotten kicked off the internet yet. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, EVERYONE! We made it one whole year of doing a podcast! We’ve learned almost nothing, achieved no status in the car world at all, and really only have piles of Dave’s candy wrappers to show for it. But WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Hey! Did you know you can view… Read more →

Episode 55-Really, Lefty is the first to let me know. It’s diiiiiirty in the blanket fort today. Nips, probes, and an unsolved mystery in the form of pairing two interesting parts of human anatomy is how we start out, and it only gets weirder until we land on A Prarie Home Companion. And, really, it’s better if you don’t ask… Read more →

Episode 1-Oh god I’m so sorry for all of the chewing noises. We didn’t mean to make an ASMR podcast. It’s dark in here. Because we’ve put our heads up our own….blanket forts. If we ever have a constant b-story to the podcast, it’s that we keep trying new things. Our latest venture is that of an aftershow. That’s trendy,… Read more →

Episode 54-Well, Actually… We really get into refining ideas in the blanket fort this time; we really dig into our proclamations of donk friendliness, Ian updates his list of eulogy dibs for Dave, and then someone from the Internet swoops in and – finger wagging – shouts “WELL ACTUALLY,” and corrects all our ideas. Meanwhile, one Bring A Trailer seller… Read more →

Episode 53 – Gretchen, stop trying to make VR5 happen. It’s not going to happen. Oh, wait it did. It did. The long-running best practice for improv comedy is a technique known as ‘Yes, And…’. We seem to have found our own road with Ian’s school of thought, known the world over as ‘Identify and Diminish’. In this episode, Ian… Read more →

Episode 52-And certainly NOT steampunk. Sheesh. It’s just a trail of misery this time around in the blanket fort. Our most depressing garage update yet is followed by a look across the bleak landscape of available all-wheel drive wagons, and it’s all cast in the most terrible of palls: Dave has only one single piece of candy during this episode.… Read more →

Episode 51-It puts the blanket in the fort or else it gets the taffy again We’ve interviewed some interesting characters for this show, but none have been as game for anything as Nathan Adlen of The Fast Lane Car. He hit us right up front by (rightly) making fun of the blanket fort, schooled us on the proper way to… Read more →

Episode 50 – Not to say that there wasn’t some light stabbing. To commemorate the 50th episode of TeamClearCoat and the journey you’ve followed us on, we decided to get literal with it and go … on a journey. Yes, it’s a very special road trip episode; there are highs (candy!), there are lows (boomers on bikes), and there are… Read more →
