09.30.15: Back At It-->GH @ Helix for Beers, Powdercoating, a Realist's Take on the VW Diesel Mess (and Why It's Big Gov's Fault), Pretty Girlfriends & Mr. Burns's Mom, Hank Watson's Origin Story, Plus a Beer Named AR-15

From La Mesa's burgeoning brewing district, the Garage Hour goons are back for another run at the super sips from Helix Brewing (drinkhelix.com!) and a rowdy rendition of Hank Watson's Garage Hour.  Yes, have some. Start with the goodies - a running discussion about the magical off-roading coating called powdercoating with newb cohost Troy from Powder 1 in El Cajon (don't install a roll bar without 'em - powder1.com), the VW diesel error that was trusting the US government to ignore fossil fuel's mighty potential, and fine ales present and future from Helix Brewery's very own Cam Ball.  Speaking of, Twisted Manzanita's got their Witch's Hair Pumpkin Ale on nitro in the tasting room - it's a must-have. Take another step and we're all about the other - the new Tesla wagon, Slash's Snake Pit, a beer we're developing with Helix called AR-15, and where the Garage Hour's cohorts would be without their marvelous girlfriends.  There's also flak towers, Jewish jokes (hey, we're at least 1/2 Jewish), how to pick up chicks with Dr. Who, Hum's "Stars", and soot. Yeah, we're awesomesauce, and we're not even trying.  Tell your friends. For the MP3 version of this episode, download the podcast of the same date with "MP3" in the title.
