Through The Apex - Episode 37: Fugly Sweater Party by Marc-Anthony Murray & Shaun Rosa
What’s going on Apex fam! How many of you are actually fans of today’s rap/hip-hop? Shaun definitely isn’t, but that didn’t stop us from dedicating a nice chunk of our time to trademark topic derailment! Nonetheless, we delve into other modern concepts such as phones (made by a supercar manufacturer, though!), more small cars pretending to be big cars, and the sheer intelligence of the modern driver…...not. Also, we’ve got some interesting monsters to discuss for our Refreshing or Repulsive segment, as well as a tennis ball. Tune in, rate, review, and subscribe for more!
Happy Thanksgiving! This episode was totally winged (we didn't even make a bio for it), and as a result of that we don't actually recall what was discussed. Wait... got it. What we ACTUALLY discuss are the cars that we're thankful for, this Thanksgiving. Some heartfelt discussions are had, some game changers are contemplated, and some reminiscing is done this episode. Check it out, you don't want to miss it. Tune in, rate, review, and subscribe! Gobble gobble gobble gobble!
So...who gave Toyota the final say in what we play in our video games, again? I mean, are there actually people who would rather have a Camry over a Supra to do virtual burnouts in? And as if that wasn’t bad enough, Mitsubishi has all but decided that they are no longer a manufacturer of anything other than television sets and...television sets. And how about an electric muscle car that’s faster than your petrol-powered muscle car? Or better yet, a CHEATING GERMAN?! Tune in for all of this and more, in this latest episode of Through the Apex!
BOO! It’s actually Halloween, and we are kicking this episode off with an extremely scary situation that we wouldn’t wish upon our worst enemies...or maybe Marc-Anthony would, since he’s actually a demonic soul. Continuing with the theme, we’ve got cars with masks that are actually worse than Halloween calls for, ghost cars, and horrifying reliability statistics that are sure to surprise you (trust us, we certainly were). Finally, we’ve got some foreign stuff that we determine is worth a treat...or a trick, as well as finally revealing our winner from the Mustang caption contest!

Who wants a brand new Bugatti Chiron?! We most certainly wouldn't say no to that...unless we had to build it from scratch. Also, isn't it just AWESOME how Alfa Romeo has taken the North American market by storm? With that said, their cars are about to get a little more...hybridized. And we hope you don't like German cars that much, if you're American; you might not be enjoying them much longer.

Target striking back at Walmart concerning electricity usage?! Don't worry, we don't run out of gas for this one. Rate, review, share, and subscribe!
Doing good, or doing well? Among the many great debates that take place on our latest episode (including grammar), Shaun and Marc-Anthony discuss NASCAR shell heritage (apocalypse imminent), street-terrorizing, flesh-eating Mustangs, and the people of Wal-Mart. Ohhhhh man. Oh, and while you're here, be sure to wish Shaun a happy birthday. More than likely, he's still recovering - and that might actually be quite unlucky.

And back to automotive reality...sort of. In the second portion of New York International Auto Show 2018 discussion, Shaun and Marc-Anthony dedicate much of their deliberations upon the direction taken by Chevrolet, as well as the disappearance of the soul within many of their vehicles.
