11.21.25 (MP3): Targa Tasmania (It's Back), Diesel Mechanic Pardoned (Right Thing), Brewery & Distillery Growing Pains (Because Trendy), Interesting Asteroid or Invading Aliens (Drinking w/ Aliens), + Burning Battery Walls & CA VS Drivers

So much show, show little time.  ...Still uploading episodes from 2025 - this one was close at hand.  It starts with a look at distilleries like Jim Beam and others which are having a hard time coping with market movement, and how it's an analog to brewery behavior in years past (including outfits now and gone like Manzanita, Butcher's, Ballast Point, Breckenridge and more), and then overrules it all with the potential alien invasion loaded up on an "asteroid" named 3I/Atlas (perhaps they like beer).  Curveballs continue with extra arms and prehensile tails, and then there's the tale of a mechanic from Normal, America, who has been pardoned for helping diesel truck owners avoid destructive government policies and parts.  Because racecar, the gearhead goons also noticed that the world famous Targa Tasmania was running - right now - and that's good news for drivers who like honest tarmac action and the go-fast community. Don't worry, we got lost too: Kalifornistan continues to make life hard for its citizens by driving refineries out of the state; and don't throw the baby out with the bath water: a good idea like storing cheap electricity in batteries shouldn't be ruined by a few bad batteries that got hung on a wall (and then caught fire).
