2) The Big 3 HD Trucks and their future.
3) The evolution and revolution of crossovers over sedans.

Episode Seven:  Tent-enties!

Episode Seven: Tent-enties!

In this episode, me and J.P. discuss the two kinds of buyers: Ones who will only purchase a brand spankin' new vehicle and the ones who will only purchase one that has been previously owned.

Which one are you? Are you all for the new and sparkly? Like that new car smell entirely too much? Or, are you an advocate of the saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure?" From personal experience, I've bought both and been entirely happy on both ends.

As always, let us know what you think! We'd love to hear from you!

Episode Six:  Big Brother

Episode Six: Big Brother

Side note, I kinda hate doing one-takes anyway but I do even more so with guests because you have to coordinate with them to get them to meet you. Especially when some of the problems in the audio crop up after you've already recorded it.

All in all, in this impromptu (and forgive me for the glitches in the audio) episode, me and J.P. sit down with Don and Michelle (I hope I spelled their names correctly) and talk about vehicle safety and how the technology surrounding the mainstream suite of driver assist technologies such as autonomous driving, adaptive cruise control, and emergency pedestrian braking can either aid the driver or disengage the driver when using them.

Again, I honestly do appreciate the glitches in the audio... the excessive glitches... during this session. I promise you it won't happen again. As always, our social media links are in the description if you want a simplified, and not so glitchy, rundown of what we talked about today.

In honor of our female listeners, we make conversation about how the consumer experience for them can be a LOT BETTER. We will discuss some ideas and kick some facts around ye ol' kitchen table. Considering most of the profound financial decisions are made sitting there anyway...

Episode Three: Let a Car Guy Explain...

Episode Three: Let a Car Guy Explain...

In this episode, I discuss the lack of content (Which I do apologize for) and where we've been lately. Alongside that, I will allude to what is coming and what we have planned for all of you! Not to mention a little surprise that has me amped for the future.

On a heavier note, I will also be discussing something that has gotten me, alongside a few others, down a little bit lately. BUT! There is hope with that and for all of us going through the peaks and valleys.

That's all for this one!

(The Lost)Episode One: Cost vs. Value

(The Lost)Episode One: Cost vs. Value

Kevin here! I seriously doubt J.P. would have wanted to be up at the B.C.O.D when I recorded this one. :D

This is the "official" pilot episode for all of you listeners. Well, the one that catapulted me into the mix! It weighs in at a shade under a healthy fourteen minutes long. Just long enough to sit through but not long enough to just drone on and on and over the rainbow.

In this episode, I give you a basic overview of what goes into making a decision as it pertains to cost (what you pay) and value (what it pays you) and how knowing the difference can assist in any financial decision you make and not just when you purchase your next automobile. You'll be surprised how worth it is to buy a Dr. Pepper over a Dr. Thunder! I get into what that means too! Hot diggity daffodil!

As always, I appreciate you fine folks out there giving this a listen and I look forward to hearing from you on the next one. Links to my social media outlets are on the main page as well as the e-mail.

Kevin here! This is just an introduction to our podcast and what we are looking to deliver to all of you fine folks. Don't mind our shenanigans, we certainly don't. We have a lot in the pipeline in terms of content. We have a lot FOR YOU but we also have stuff in the works FROM YOU! Yeah, person who is reading this... we want you! So, keep your head up for such things because they'll come sooner than you think. Until the next episode! -J.P. & Kevin
