Walter Hickey and Kim Bhasin return to the podcast to give a special shoutout to Miami and to talk all things 2 Fast 2 Furious! We kick things off with an award focus by briefly recapping this year's Oscars with Mr. Numlock News Awards Supplement, talking about Al Pacino's cell phone, and exploring the awards this movie won. We discuss John Singleton's presence (and Vin Diesel's absence), the movie's most 1980s moments, and the Shakespearean elements of 2 Fast 2 Furious. Joey explains Lance Barnebe. We talk about what stuff from this movie we want to see return (and what we're glad they left in the rearview). Walt picks his most D&D moment (and we confirm who is DMing this campaign). We debate whether Carter Verone is a good villain and Joey classifies the only two types of people tweeting about his character. Does Brian know how to tie his shoes? Kim share his wrestling moment of the movie, Walt expresses confusion over Brian's career trajectory, and we pay respect to the glorious styling of the movie's title.

We're closing out our Planes, Trains, But NO Automobiles lap and welcoming in Lap 14 in our mechanic-prescribed Lap 13 Tune-Up. We kick things off by, at long last, looking up various definitions of the word "vehicle" (and feeling validated) before we look back at the past lap's episodes, theme, and vehicles. Then, for the first time, we introduce our lap's sponsors -- Michael Moser and Josh Buckley -- as we share the upcoming theme... and some of their picks. Michael takes the character quiz. Josh offers his take on the result. Last, we talk to our surprise all-lap-long guests -- Walter Hickey and Kim Bhasin -- and ask them: why? We talk about the strange time in the franchise's history and we tease possible upcoming pit stops.

Bob Ross is one of the most beloved painters of his generation, and he focused almost exclusively on the outdoors. Depicting the “happy trees” and “friendly mountains” of Alaska and the greater western US for his TV show, The Joy of Painting, he earned a following that has only grown since his death. But surprisingly little is known about his life. Famously private, he granted only a handful of interviews and never really spoke about his deeper motivations. So how should we remember Bob Ross, and what does his art say about the natural world? Data journalist Walter Hickey took on these questions, analyzing all 381 of the paintings Ross did for his show. What he found will have you looking at Bob Ross in a whole new light.
