On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the shadowy corners of Beetle House NYC, a Tim Burton-themed restaurant that may offer more than just eerie ambiance and ghoulish cocktails. While the décor is intentionally spooky, reports from staff and guests suggest something more uninvited is lurking behind the scenes. Cold spots, whispers, and a well-dressed phantom known only as “The Gentleman” are just the beginning.   Tony explores the building's historic past, the East Village's long-standing paranormal reputation, and the growing number of chilling experiences being documented inside the restaurant's walls. Is it all part of the performance—or is something supernatural joining the dinner party?

Gerald Klaus: From German Roots to High-Performance Innovation Born in Germany and raised in the world of Volkswagens, Gerald Klaus grew up under the influence of his father, Rolf Klaus—a respected VW performance builder and parts manufacturer. With a split-window Beetle in the garage and a legacy of tuning engines for German enthusiasts, Gerald's path was set early. Armed with a degree in metallurgy and hands-on experience in industrial foundries, Gerald combined his technical expertise with his lifelong passion for Volkswagens to take on an ambitious challenge: designing and manufacturing his own performance cylinder heads. In this episode, we dive deep into the world of Type 4 performance, exploring the science behind metallurgy, cooling, and airflow—and how Gerald's innovative designs address the shortcomings of traditional heads. Whether you're a hardcore VW builder or just love stories of passion meeting engineering, this episode is packed with insights into what makes a great performance head—and the dedication it takes to create one from scratch. www.rosswulf.com use code LTD10 for 10% off parts www.vwtrendsmagazine.com ICON pistons here. www.letstalkdubs.com Go Fund me for shooting victim Jamie Benn

The hosts wish to reassert their disavowal of J.K. Rowling for her role in making women less safe in the U.K. Please visit GLAAD's amazing page for links including FAQs, resources, and tips for allies. Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 25: The Beetle at Bay. MuggleCast last discussed this chapter on Episode 462! Harry's feelings toward his fellow students in light of the Azkaban breakout headlines have us once more feeling like we are living in the books today. The Ministry's control of information and issuance of propaganda, the extent which is confirmed in this chapter, is massive but not perfect. Some who look deeper are beginning to see the cracks in the facade. Umbridge's power grabs are becoming unenforceable. The hosts discuss how her main goal appears to be to frighten and dissuade dissenters, even among the staff. Harry and students are impressed by Neville's recent hard work in the D.A. This reminds us about when we made the "Neville Gets Swole" Spotify playlist, perfect for your summertime runs and workouts! Is Hermione single-handedly changing the course of the Wizarding world? We think so. Is there anything the students can/should be doing about Hagrid and his probation? Or is his behavior just too weird, and the students too buried in coursework? Ron has a fair idea, but Hermione shuts him down cold. We hold a memorial service for Ron's strategical aptitude subplot from Book 1. In what ways was "Madame Puddifoot's" NOT the perfect Valentine's spot, and whose fault is it that Harry and Cho's date is a disaster? Was it doomed from the start? Is Rita Skeeter looking for redemption, or just some hot goss? Odds & Ends asks why Ron, Fred or George do not seem to know about Antonin Dolohov's connection with their uncles, nor do they mention it. Most #RealTalk moment of the week? Hosts weigh in. Lynx Line: we asked our Patrons to submit a one-sentence headline sure to grab all of the attention.

With his mindset, determined to do his bug back to all original, so he could just cruise it around and enjoy it. Things took a turn when Wayne spent a day at the grand national roadster show and saw in one building some of the most iconic Volkswagens ever built. From that moment forward, Wayne knew he needed a really cool hot Rod VW.  luckily he picked the right shop to begin with Type One Restorations does some of them sophisticated modifications to Volkswagens that  cross platforms with hot rods and Volkswagens and really bridges the gap to build some very unique cars. Buddy & his team over there knocked it completely out of the park they went from a zenith Blue to a custom mix of an Azure blue split window color changing it from a 68 visually to making you question what year it is the custom touches in and out of this Beetle are completely over the top. It was a few year process to get it back but well worth the wait! Now Wayne has his brand new beetle back in his hands and it's cooler and better than anything he's ever had in his life. Talk about the best way to pay tribute and restore, a car that means so much to you. It's a great story and it's an unbelievable car.  https://www.instagram.com/typeonerestorations/ www.vwtrendsmagazine.com www.rosswulf.com www.thewagen.com www.letstalkdubs.com Buy ICON pistons here One Crazy Weekend Registration here.
