The Smoking Tire

If you've read about cars at any time in the last ten years you've probably read one of Raphael Orlove's articles. He was the Features Editor at Jalopnik for many years, hosted a TV show, and is known for his irreverent style and witty articles. He's now the Deputy Editor at Road & Track. We talk to him about driving a Dakar Mini Cooper; his upcoming Bronco Raptor experience; that Fisker SUV; modifying bicycles in the kitchen; finding crimes; which coast allows more vehicular mayhem; golf carts; and more. Recorded June 6, 2022  Go to blackvue.com/TST and use the promo code TIRE to get 10% off of any BlackVue dash cam.

Nick and Giles English are the founders of Bremont watches and serious gear heads. They love all things mechanical, especially planes and motorcycles, but they've also had a number of adventures in vintage cars. They even had had a hand in Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's motorcycle circumnavigations "Long Way Round" and "Long Way Down".  We talk about why they started Bremont, what it's like working with and learning from the Williams F1 team, crushing watches, working with Ian Callum, their new hangout, Bike Shed Moto Co, and nearly crashing a plane. Recorded May 20, 2022https://us.bremont.com/ Download the DraftKings Sportsbook app today!
