How do you feel about minivans? Love em or hate em?

With Sami taking a break to welcome his new child into the world. guest host Chad Kirchner drops by to talk about the Rivian R2 EV - and to endure Benjamin's endless digressions about diesel trucks, towing, and, for some reason, Alaska.

Es gibt so Bücher, da quält man sich. Ob man das muss, gerade als freier, unbezahlter Rezensent, aber auch als schnöder Leser von Büchern, es ist ein ewiger Streit. Ein Streit, in dem Anzahl und Vehemenz bejahender Argumente reziprok mit dem Alter des Argumentierenden korrelieren. Ok, man kann auch formulieren: Je näher man dem Grabe ist, desto weniger ist man geneigt, einen Autor langsam zur Sache kommen zu lassen. Aber das klingt grausam, oberflächlich, und Anne Findeisen setzt gerade zum “OK Boomer” an.Und es ist tatsächlich ungerecht dem Autor gegenüber, einschränkend: sobald man ihm ein Niveau zugesteht oberhalb des seit ein paar Jahren aufgrund irgendeines Marketingkurses so heftig promoteten “Deutschen Krimis mit Lokalkolorit”, ein Genre, in dem arbeitslose Redakteure von regionalen Tageblättern ihr Gehalt aufbessern, indem sie uns weiß machen wollen, dass es in Berlin-Marzahn fast genauso zur Sache ginge wie in Chicago Southside.Gehen wir also von den guten Autoren aus.Ein Autor schreibt auf leerem Blatt eine Story, und je ferner sie von der Lebenswirklichkeit des Lesers entfernt ist, desto größer des Autor-Dilemma: Erklärt er mit Begriffen, die dem Leser nahe sind, die ferne Seltsamkeit seiner Phantasie, oder lässt er es den Leser selbst herausfinden? Ersteres vergrößert die Chance auf die Bahnhofsbuchhandlung und erhöht die Anzahl der Bücher, die der Leser bis zum Grabgang, siehe oben, lesen kann, enorm, aber es ist auch potentiell langweilig, bricht die Magie, nicht zu reden von der künstlerischen Integrität des Auteur.Kann man also Regeln finden, die man anwenden kann, wenn man auf Seite 10 eines Buches noch kein Wort verstanden hat?Statt theoretisch zu salbadern, greifen wir in den Fundus der aktuellen Falschgoldschen Buchliste “in progress”. Der Punkt, dass darunter ein Buch aus Papier ist, so zum Blättern, mit Rascheln und so, macht deutlich, dass wir hier nicht von anekdotenhafter Beweisführung, sondern regelrecht von Empirie reden können, so alt ist der Rezensent, so viele Bücher las er schon. Dem Zuhörer kommen die Tränen.Das papierne Buch ist dunkelgrün, ein Paperback, und öffnet sich automatisch auf Seite 374/375 - Ein Eselsohr! Wenn man genau hinschaut, sieht man, dass der Papierschnitt, also die Außenseite des geschlossenen Buches, von dieser Stelle an bis zur Seite 1014 glatt ist, die Seiten davor uneben. Denn ich habe Ulysses von James Joyce schon so oft angefangen, und bin so oft nur bis zur Hälfte gekommen, dass ich einmal den Traum hatte, dass der Quizmaster unseres monatlichen Kneipenquiz die Frage stellt, welches Buch folgendermaßen beginnt:Erste Seite UlyssesSTATTLICH UND FEIST erschien Buck Mulligan am Treppenaustritt, ein Seifenbecken in Händen, auf dem gekreuzt ein Spiegel und ein Rasiermesser lagen. Ein gelber Schlafrock mit offenem Gürtel bauschte sich leicht hinter ihm in der milden Morgenluft. Er hielt das Becken in die Höhe und intonierte: “Introibo ad altare Dei.”Woraufhin ich meinem Kollegen beruhigend zuzwinkere “Hab ich”. Im Sinne von “die Antwort”, aber auf keinen Fall “verstanden”. Denn jetzt, auf Seite 374 sitzt Leopold Bloom immer noch am 16.6.1904 und frühstückt Leber. Sehr sympathisch, und das mit dem Frühstück ist nur ein educated guess, ein Drittel im Buch, das berühmterweise einen Tag im Leben eines Anzeigenverkäufers in Dublin beschreibt, das muss noch Frühstück sein.Ach, ich lese mal kurz rein..Dreißig Minuten später habe ich noch keine Ahnung, ob es Frühstück, Brunch oder Mittag ist, aber mehr als eine davon, warum ich das Buch immer wieder beginne: Es ist ein Rätsellabyrinth. Zusammengehalten von der Einfachheit der Prämisse: Ein Mann, ein Tag, eine Stadt, und damit unkompliziert reinzukommen, ist es fast unmöglich, wieder rauszufinden: So viele Fragen gestellt in bildlichster Sprache, man sieht sie vor sich, die verrückten Dubliner, immer etwas schmuddlig, nie unter 3,8 im Turm und dennoch gebildet, klug und rätselhaft. Wenn man weiß, dass man etwas nie ganz verstehen wird, befreit das ungemein, und wenn man weiß, dass das Literaturprofessoren so geht, nicht zu reden von Übersetzern und Rezensenten, ist das ein Argument, das Buch immer wieder zu beginnen, ohne das Ziel, es jemals zu beenden.Ein weiteres Beispiel, ein ganz anderes: Am 20.1. diesen Jahres 2020 kam der neue William Gibson raus, “Agency”, und der Vorbestellen-Knopf war schon halb gedrückt, als ich aus den Augenwinkeln das Cover sah, mh.. erinnert an etwas, und auch die “Kunden kauften sonst noch”-Zeile des bösen Onlinebuchhändlers erinnerte an Bekanntes. Genauer an Gibsons 2014er Roman “Peripherie” und daran, dass ich trotz heftigem Fanboyseins das Buch nicht nur nicht zu Ende gelesen habe, nein, dass ich kaum über Seite 30 hinweggekommen war. Was zumindest für diesen Rezensenten, der eine Buchserie von vorn bis hinten lesen muss, ohne Lücken, es unmöglich macht, den neuen Gibson zu lesen, ohne den alten Gibson gelesen zu haben. Anne Findeisen murmelt übrigens gerade wieder “Ok Boomer”, bekanntermaßen kann sie Simon Beckets David-Hunter-Serie Buch 6 lesen und Buch 5 mal eben so locker überspringen. Sie ist ein Monster.Ich bin keines, also holte ich mir “Peripherie” von William Gibson auf den E-Reader und kann berichten, ich bin sechs Jahre älter, nicht weiser. William Gibson ist ein allgemein anerkannter Visionär und Erfinder des allgegenwärtigen Begriffes “Cyberspace”, der, wie sich das gehört für unsere oberflächliche Zeit, mit dem “Cyberspace” in Gibsons Newromancer nichts, aber auch gar nichts gemein hat. Daraus scheint mir Gibson sein Lehren gezogen zu haben und erklärt nun einfach gar nichts mehr. Wir springen aus dem Wohnwagen eines Kriegsveteranen in ein Computerspiel, Fragezeichen, gespielt mit einem faltbaren, Fragezeichen, Handy als Controller und dargestellt auf mehreren, Fragezeichen, Displays, physischen, Fragezeichen. Eine Welt aus Fragezeichen, aber noch hat Gibson drei Bücher minus 30 Seiten, von denen eines noch nicht mal geschrieben ist, Zeit, uns zu erklären, wie wir bald leben werden, und schon jetzt spüre ich, dass er ziemlich weit daneben liegen wird, denn schon lange ist es nicht mehr möglich, ein Buch in der nahen Zukunft anzusiedeln, ohne von dieser bei Veröffentlichung überholt zu werden. Aber William Gibson muss gelesen werden, er ist Kanon, und kein Weg führt an der Tatsache vorbei, dass es aktuell keinen genaueren Beobachter unserer gegenwärtigen Zukunft gibt. Ich ignoriere also zunächst die Fragezeichen und werde mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit in Kürze hier an dieser Stelle berichten können, ob Gibson recht hat, ob Periphery und Agency uns helfen, uns zu verstehen.Sich zu verstehen, ist das Hauptproblem des titelgebenden Haupthelden in einem Buch, welches kaum diametraler sein könnte als die bisher angesprochenen “schwer lesbaren” Werke. “The Death and Life of Schneider Wrack” ist kein Bestseller, es spielt weder an einem Tag noch in naher Zukunft. Es ist ein Roman in einer fremden und seltsamen Welt. Geschrieben wurde er von Nate Crowley, einem Briten, den mein Lieblings-Online-Computerspielmagazin mit Namen “Rock, Paper, Shotgun” letztes Jahr eingestellt hat. Ja, Herr Falschgold liest nicht nur seit 25 Jahren Ulysses, sondern auch Computerspielmagazine. Clearly the most interesting man in the world. Gleich nach Nate Crowley muss er jedoch neidlos anerkennen. Nicht nur hat er, wie Herr Falschgold, eine Vorliebe für eine Nische im Computerspielkosmos, in der sich Games an ein Publikum wenden, das nicht reaktionsschnell das fünfhundertachtzigste x-beliebige Monster zu Brei ballern will, sondern stattdessen, das Kinn in die Hand gestützt, stundenlang virtuellen Figuren zuschaut, wie sie nur geringst von ihrem ihnen zuschauenden Gott beeinflusst ihrem Leben nachgehen. Für fantasielose Träumer von Eigentumswohnung und Minivan sind das die Sims, in dem sich realistische 3d-Instagrammodels in realistischen Mietwohnungen realistisch langweilen, für milde fantasiebegabte das aktuelle Lieblingsgame des Rezensenten namens “Rimworld”, in dem drei zufällige und meist ziemlich gestörte Raumfahrer auf einem Planeten stranden und versuchen, ohne dem Kannibalismus zu verfallen, von diesem wieder wegzukommen, dargestellt in der Draufsicht von liebevoll gezeichneten kleinen Pixelmenschen in einer Welt voller Gefahren. Nate Crowley jedoch machte auf sich aufmerksam durch das, was er aus dem Spielen des Programmes “Dwarf Fortress”, also “Zwergenburg”, machte. Ein Spiel, in dem die Personen nicht in 3d gezeigt werden oder pixelsüß animiert sind, sondern einfach nur verschiedenfarbige Buchstaben auf einem schwarzen Bildschirm, die sich blinkend von A nach B bewegen und deren Tun und Sein in Statistiken und gelegentlichen Beschreibungen aufgezeigt wird. Klingt trocken, aber mit dem fantasievollen Kopf eines Nate Crowley wurde daraus eine 23-Folgen-Fortsetzungsstory über “The Basement of Curiosity”, in dem Nate seine alphanumerischen Zwerge die wildesten, lustigsten Abenteuer bestehen lässt und darüber in solch schillernden Farben berichtete, als ginge es um den neuesten photorealistischen Blockbuster unter den Spielen und nicht um eine Textwüste in Grün auf Schwarz. Dazu hat Nate Crowley einen Twitteraccount, auf dem er Fotos seines Terrarium/Aquarium zeigt, welches statt mit den üblichen Fischen und Fröschen komplett mit Krabben, Langusten und ähnlich vielbeinigem Krustengetier bewohnt wird.Wenn man solcherlei seltsames Hobby mit derlei ausschweifender Phantasie kombiniert, muss ein Roman rauskommen. 2017 war es soweit, und es ist ein Trip. Unser Hauptheld Schneider Wrack war gerade noch Bibliothekar in einer postapokalyptischen Hafenstadt und erwacht auf einmal auf.. einem Schiff? Er weiß es nicht. Er weiß so gut wie gar nichts mehr. Er weiß noch nicht mal, ob er lebt. Er bewegt sich, er sieht und fühlt, aber.. er atmet schon mal nicht. Zumindest muss er es nicht. Um ihn herum sind ein paar hundert Menschen, die einen riesigen Wal mit Äxten und Messern traktieren und das rausgehackte Fleisch in Wagons verladen. Das Ganze passiert auf hoher See, so viel scheint klar, aber das Schiff ist so groß, dass er nicht sieht, wo es beginnt und endet. Auch sagt keiner ein Wort, zunächst noch nicht mal er selbst. Es scheint sich niemand um ihn zu kümmern, also beginnt er, auf dem Schiff zu wandern, und sieht die seltsamsten Dinge. Aufseher mit zugewachsenen Mündern, als Wachtiere begleiten sie Haie auf metallenen Beinen. Die Arbeiter haben alle Verletzungen, die auf einen gewaltsamen Tod hindeuten - und doch bewegen sie sich wie.. Zombies! In einer abgelegenen Halle finden sich in eine Ecke gestapelt so kaputte Exemplare, dass sie nicht mehr zur Arbeit zu gebrauchen sind, aber, Horror, sie bewegen sich noch. Auf Händen, so noch welche dran sind, oder sie schauen verwirrt von links nach rechts, wenn der Kopf noch dran ist, der Rest aber schon ab. Es ist eine Freakshow und nichts für schwache Gemüter. Es ist einem permanent ein bisschen schlecht. Es wimmelt von Worten, die ich nicht kenne und Wikipedia auch nicht, Fischarten vermutet man, halb-lateinisch klingend, aber auch Namen von Orten und Städten, bei denen man ob der Tatsache, dass sie so klingen, als müsste man sie kennen, Google Maps aber nichts findet, noch verwirrter ist als unser Hauptheld Schneider Wrack.Endgültig fertig macht Schneider, einige Seiten im Buch, dass er mit niemandem kommunizieren kann, sich niemand um ihn kümmert. Bis er eine Frau mit einem Loch in der Brust trifft, typische Säbelwunde, die leise vor sich hin jammert. Er tauft sie Moana und spricht leise auf sie ein. Bis sie ihm antwortet..Nate Crowley hat einen der abgefahrensten Romane in einer der abgefahrensten Settings ever geschrieben - und ich habe jetzt schon fünf Bücher von Jasper Fforde gelesen, wir erinnern uns, die Detektivin Thursday Next, die in Büchern lebt. Wir müssen unser Vorstellungsvermögen anpassen, alles ist größer als man denkt, und dann noch ein Stück. Wale so groß wie Fußballfelder werden von Kraken gefressen, so groß wie kleine Ostseeinseln. Wir bereisen den Amazonas und bemerken als Leser spätestens dann, warum Nate Crowley dazu neigt, deutsche Worte einzubauen, man sieht die Inspiration zum Buch in dem fiktiven Werk, welches Schneider Wrack, unser Protagonist, auf einmal im Körper einer Krabbe, fragt nicht, liest, es ist der Bericht einer Amazonasexpedition wie geschrieben von Alexander von Humboldt. Wir können das Buch, obwohl lange nicht explizit geschrieben, nur als Parabel auf eine Ökokatastrophe lesen und werden dazu mit moralischen Dilemmata konfrontiert - wann ist man tot und wann ist man so richtig tot? Und was passiert, wenn dann künstliche Intelligenz ins Spiel kommt. All das ist kaum zu greifen durch bestsellergewohntes eiliges Lesen. Man muss sich Zeit nehmen, man muss das Buch weglegen, schon weil einem manchmal ein bisschen übel ist. Aber man wird es immer wieder aufnehmen, man will mehr wissen von dieser fremden und seltsamen Welt des Schneider Wrack und Nate Crowley.Und das ist am Ende das Kriterium für jedes “schwere Buch”. Will man mehr wissen? Und da ist es egal, ob man mehr wissen will, weil man kaum etwas versteht, wie bei Joyces Ulysses, ob man mehr wissen will, weil man weiß, dass der Autor viel zu sagen hat, wie bei jedem Roman von Will Gibson, oder weil man einfach wissen will, ob sich Moana und Schneider, zu Beginn des Romans Zombies und zur Hälfte der eine eine Krabbe und die Andere ein Kampfroboter, am Ende doch bekommen und warum die Welt des Nate Crowley so abgefuckt ist, wie sie ist.Ja, Bücher sind manchmal schwer, inhaltlich, sprachlich, emotional, aber wir haben ein Leben Zeit, oder um es mit James Joyce zu sagen: “„Der längste Umweg ist der kürzeste nach Hause.“ - und hätte ich den Ulysses zu Ende gelesen, hätte ich vielleicht ein wirklich passendes Zitat gefunden.

Got a text from Jean yesterday saying that they're loving their time in Boston. I can't wait to hear all about her trip when she gets back next week. In the news this morning, the Minocqua Brewing Company has it's license revoked, a nationwide recall on Thyroid medication, a Costco settlement could mean money in your pocket, a tragic murder/suicide in Michigan, Myspace is apparently attempting to make a comeback, and Oscar Mayer is celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Wienermobile with a special "wiener cake". In sports, the Brewers beat the Giants last night and go for the series sweep later today, the Tony Romo arrest video has been released, Kyle Shanahan takes full responsibility for the accident he was recently involved in, Micah Parsons is starting the season on the PUP list for the Packers, and Adrian Peterson will be inducted into the Vikings Ring of Honor later this season. Talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. Plus, a possible "Home Alone" sequel starring Macaulay Culkin might be in the works, David Lee Roth & Alex Van Halen are reuniting in Fargo for a TED talk, and the kids from "The Sandlot" are going to be in a new series called "Dugout Dads". Great story about a guy who beat cancer and decided to celebrate by canoeing the Missouri river with his dog, a kid in Florida is getting recognized for reading to shelter animals, and a message in a bottle is found 53 years later and returned to the family of it's original sender. It's Hump Day, so that means "One Gotta Go Wednesday"…and today's edition was food related - Burgers. Tacos. Pizza. Or fried chicken? Elsewhere in sports, the Browns re-up Denzel Ward and make him the highest paid defensive back in NFL history, Ohio State and Notre Dame make record deals for sponsorship patches on their respective uniforms, Bills fans AND some of their players absolutely hate their new "Nickel City" uniforms, and a minor league baseball player gets trucked by a mascot in a Santa suit. I personally don't think that mini-vans were ever cool…but apparently the younger generation is trying to make mini-vans a "thing". And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a daycare worker that locked a kid in the closet so she could go to the liquor store, a bunch of rabid beavers in NY & NJ keep attacking people, a #FloridaMan who got busted for drugs while on the phone with his "bae", & a self-service kiosk at Popeye's restaurants is asking people to tip the kitchen staff.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Patrick talks about the minivan being...cool?

Minivans are having a major comeback, and this episode takes a look at why. With millennial parents rethinking what makes a vehicle practical, sales are rising, the Toyota Sienna is in high demand, and sliding doors are suddenly looking very appealing again. The conversation highlights how minivans are being viewed differently now, thanks to features like easier kid loading and lower prices than comparable three-row SUVs. From grocery runs to soccer practice, the minivan is being framed as a smart and surprisingly cool choice.

Send us Fan MailEmma never imagined she'd lose everything.She was a mother of five, a children's counsellor, and the kind of parent driving a minivan to soccer practice. But after a prescription opioid introduced her to a feeling she couldn't escape, her life unraveled with shocking speed. Within months, heroin and fentanyl addiction had cost her career, her home, and nearly her relationship with her children. Emma shares what it was like to live out of the same minivan she once used to take her children to school, suffer a stroke, continue using drugs while hospitalized, survive six weeks on life support, and ultimately find recovery through accountability, family support, and hope.This is a story about addiction, motherhood, resilience, and discovering that recovery is about much more than putting the drugs down.Emma's TED TalkSupport the showSEIU-WestWellness NewsParenting in the Storm Check out Parenting in the Storm HEREAre you getting something from our content?

Connor Brockhouse is one of the familiar faces at all TAC events. He is a full-time employee and one of the team members building ranges and bettering our experiences at TAC. He is a young archer who is super successful on DIY hunts. I have really liked his personality and mindset for archery and bowhunting, so I wanted to sit down and learn more about his background. This podcast is filled with lots of old stories and shenanigans that relate to how archery and hunting have got us on a better path in life. I discuss my disappointments in childhood decisions and how archery got me going in the right direction. He gives stories on where hunting started for him and his brother and how it led him to getting a red staff shirt working for Total Archery Challenge.

Mario is mad at Joe as we start the show. Lots of shows are revealed for Palooza including Rob's big tease. We make July 11 party predictions. Rob details his Pittsburgh Improv show all the positive that's come from it. 

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast open-door policy is in full effect as we welcome another great guest, journalist Bradley Iger, who jumps in to discuss the unbelievably cool, made-in-America Czinger 21C VMax hypercar. Beyond its amazing looks and incredible design philosophy, Iger talks about what it's like to pilot one of these legitimate racecar for the streets from the centre seat. Then Benjamin chimes in to review the 2026 Ram 2500 Laramie, which was tasked with his own racecar towing duties. How'd the big diesel truck fare when dealing with the long road between Montreal and Toronto? Maybe a better question is, how did Benjamin deal with a track day gone wrong, and how has that changed his outlook on the sport? Finally, our hosts discussed the 2026 Dodge Charger one more time, this time with Bradley's perspective of being a multiple-time owner of the previous generation Dodges. What was the American automaker going for, and what mishaps further explain just how compromised this car really is? Thanks for listening!

Welcome guest Chad Kirchner on this week's episode which is loaded with all kinds of interesting car discussion. The show starts off with Benjamin's review of the 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack, which boasts a 550 horsepower inline six cylinder engine. However, Ben notes some important details about the size of this new muscle-y car, and suggests that it's stuck in a sort of limbo with few actual customers and rivals. Then Chad reports on the newly detailed Slate Auto's EV pickup truck. Now with an official price, and list of features (or features missing), our round table can really begin. How influential will this startup be, when it lacks a paint job, radio, and power windows? Are other automakers checking their rear view mirrors about the Slate truck? Chad shares his thoughts and more! Thanks for listening!

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast goes full EV this week, starting with Benjamin's review of the 2026 Honda Accord Hybrid. He says it's not dull, or bland, but NORMCORE, whatever that means. Well, let him explain! It seems to do everything it needs to and can maybe even out-do its crossover cousins across the Honda showroom in a few things, like, say fuel economy. It's an interesting review of a sedan when there's so few to choose from in the first place. Then Sami revisits the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid. Following Benjamin's positive impression of the Japanese crossover, Sami took it upon himself to compare it to the 2026 Kia Sportage PHEV, to find out if the Mitsubishi is actually good, or just good in a vacuum. Lots of surprises here! Then the show ends on a kind note from a listener. Thanks for listening!

What's this? The 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Electric Vehicle has zoomed onto the Unnamed Automotive Podcast for its review? Benjamin has plenty to talk about with this seriously refreshed compact crossover. Loaded with more range, a new interior and that same controversial third row, does this one of a kind PHEV make sense for today's buyers? And what is going on at Mitsubishi these days anyways? Then Sami talks quickly about the 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70, before quickly going on a tangent about weird car features that haven't been perfected and what that means for a mature market like the automotive industry. Thanks for listening everyone!

An action-packed week of Vegasy updates, including updated Hard Rock plans, Caesars and MGM transactions, and restaurant and show news The post FHBM #1008: Moths, Minivans, Loons and Pontoons first appeared on Five Hundy By Midnight.

When a car is reviewed so well that one of our hosts actually considers buying one, you know its going to be a good podcast discussion. This week starts off with such talk with Benjamin's review of the 2026 GMC Canyon AT4, which was so perfectly suited for his lifestyle that he seriously pulled up the spreadsheets and budgets to see if it could work for him. Hear what makes this truck so good, and maybe one of the best mid-size trucks on the market. Then Sami jumps in with a review of the only-for-Canada (so far) 2026 Kia EV4, something he said was revolting to look at when Benjamin reviewed it last month, but now has much more to talk about after testing it for a week. He dishes his pros and cons with this affordable EV and comes out feeling pretty good about the state of entry-level electric cars. Thanks for listening!

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast gets deep into it this week, with a "review" of the impressive and high end 2026 Land Rover Defender Octa, a performance oriented version of the off road SUV. While Jaguar and Range Rover get the SV treatment for their high output models, Defender gets an Octa badge, though it features the same BMW sourced turbo V8 and 6D suspension as the Range Rover Sport SV. Which JLR super SUV camp do you belong to? What makes a six figure SUV special? What differentiates this from a G63 AMG? Then Benjamin checks out the 2026 Buick Encore GX, a subcompact crossover that used to represent the growth of the American premium brand, but now seems a bit dated compared to other Buick vehicles. Benjamin explains it all with careful perspective of where the Encore stands with the impressive Envista sitting next to it. Then the show introduces a new concept: tire testing! Benjamin throws on some new summer rubber on his Daily Driver and can't wait to tell you the results. Thanks for listening!

Has the Unnamed Automotive Podcast really never reviewed a Volkswagen Jetta? That's situation has been resolved, and Benjamin has a full and thorough test of the German compact car, as Sami asks him tons of questions. What makes the Jetta a worthy pick over other small sedans? And how does it compare to hybrid options out there? Benjamin has plenty answers as we review this sedan for the first time ever. Then Sami checks out the 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor, an off road variant of the three-row crossover that replaces the old Timberline trim. Packed with a 3.0L turbocharged engine, the Ford Explorer has plenty of cool features and equipment, but Sami was really caught off guard by the hands-free driving tech. Thanks for listening!

Elizabeth gets a Minivan, Producer Will attends a holiday wedding, and Radar wants his own hotel reality TV show!!! Listen to Elizabeth & Radar on The Mix LIVE weekdays from 6am to 10am!

The Unnamed Automtoive Podcast jumps back into the subcompact sphere and gets to review the 2026 Volkswagen Taos. Benjamin wonders what the correct pronounciation of the crossover is, then gets into the nitty gritty about the pros and cons of this small, but steady SUV. They also talk about what makes for a good subcompact crossover, and what doesn't make the cut. Then Sami brings up some recent harrowing news about Honda, and the weird pricing strategy over at Toyota regarding its three-row crossovers. Thanks for listening!

Bobby brings a Motivational Monday segment to the show by looking back at all the ideas he has pitched over the years that never fully worked out, and why he still keeps swinging. Eddie shares why there’s a chance he could be heading to Brazil for the Cowboys game, and the guys debate how realistic that trip actually is. Plus, Kickoff Kevin may be facing his biggest dad-life decision yet: should he get a minivan?
