Gettin' Racy with Phil the Anthropomorphic Bollard

from The Thing About Cars

We're all fired up today but the BBQ will have to wait. Grand Trivia Auto asks who first made cars in Japan. Dave wants to know what all the formulae in racing mean, Tim tries to explain it but we go down the rabbit-hole of engineering and competitiveness in different types of racing Misty confesses that Sebastian Vettel is cute and wholesome, and we get obsessive about a poor abused anthropomorphic bollard. A listener wants to know about the hold button and we manage to 'go there' about it. Ben wants the car that runs on Fruit Loops and makes a poor attempt to speak Japanese, which doesn't stop Mickey from being a Honda-fanboy.
