Junk Connoisseurs: Recent Episodes
Authorized Personnel
Three friends, Alex, Alan, and Jordan, talk about a car each episode that is interesting or unique in some way. Not always in good ways though! No Ferraris here, we keep it on the junky end of the spectrum.

We try to get Alan to understand FCC regulations. Ranking system for listeners. Alan appropriates German automotive safety systems engineer culture. We discuss the car that very well may become our mascot.

Jordan calls Alan a nerd. Alan takes exception for a millisecond.
We are, evidently, huge proponents of minivans. You heard it here first...20 years ago. Bronies were involved.
A perfectly normal episode with NO deviations from our typical format, whatsoever.
Sarcastic commuter car advice, moose design criteria, Cast iron toddlers, and we revisit the tow capacity of a Chevette. Contains references to "Futurama," "Parks and Recreation" and "New Girl."
Aerosol EyeClean product development, Cars build from chamoises, Low Bar Cars, monogrammed lab coats, brother-in-law meet-cutes, and music videos. Contains references to "Austin Powers," "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," and "The Simpsons." Here's a link to the Top Gear Jensen Interceptor segment we mentioned. Here's a randomly-selected link to some British Sporting Trials on youtube: Here's the fantastic "Pump The Brakes" video that is mandatory viewing for all cheesebags!
Beer that sounds like it's for kids, Gas Station Cuisine, and great, terrible car movies. Contains references to "The Simpsons," "Futurama," and "Parks and Recreation"
The one where we spend more time than you'd expect discussing bank robberies and a car that can be outrun by a Hyundai Sonata.
Barncasting from the Meantree Rust and Manure Generation Facility we talk about recycling catalytic converters, Iron Dukes, conflicting information on the internet, and more!
Podcasting from the past, we represent ourselves in court while having a manic episode.
Shasta, anyone?! We just make it up as we go and don't think anyone is going to care to correct us if we're wrong. Link to video referenced in episode: Watch after to avoid spoilers
Hotels in TN, boat engines, Turbochargers and churros! We don't talk about the HMMWV Contains references to "Wayne's World".
An academic study of the effect of appetite suppressants on vehicle seating capacities and the influence of the Irish in the evolution of the automatic transmission. Also, suspension information that is blatantly wrong.
Is it a model, a trim level, or an appearance package? Jordan will set us straight, technically.
Three of the most straight-laced automotive dorks you know talk at length about the cost of bail at the end of a hypothetical bad decision rally.
Our cheesebag Council Co-host Alan gives valuable legal advice and, once again, doxes our friend and listener. Contains references from "The Simpsons," "Futurama," and "WaterWorld."
We play Ford Engine Conversational Pinball before eventually exploring a weird, old vehicle.
Contains references from "The Simpsons" and "Futurama."
Broadcasting from Cheesebag County. Weird on weird with a dash of project updates from the Junk Connoisseurs.

We talk about dumb stuff we've done in past and explore some of the dumb (and cool) stuff done in the past by automakers while discussing our subject vehicle. THEN we bench build a fantastic car to troll purists.
Here's the video about external combustion that Alex mentions in the episode:

Before you criticize the content of this episode, please take into consideration that we cut 10 full minutes of conversation about bad Nick Cage movies before publishing. We give the Buick Reatta way more air time than it deserves.
Everyone please message Alan to remind him he's 679 miles from Atlanta, GA.
Contains several obscure references to "Futurama."
Parts bin engineering, things that aren't an AMC Matador, and poorly-installed aftermarket sunroofs.

Our subject for this episode has no place on a poster adorning a kid's wall. But we have fun imagining the poster...and the kid.
Hit us up at junkconisr@gmail.com or Jonk Connoisseurs on Facebook.
We demonstrate ADHD in podcast form. Alan is baited into a classic Chrysler rant...but not about how they did it right. "Shut Up And Give Me More Leather!" --Lee Iacoca, probably. Contains references to "Idiocracy" and "Talledega Nights."
