Hooniverse
Dan Roth, Ross Ballot, (Jeff Glucker)
Last episode about 2 months agoCars. Trucks. Life. Things that run. Things that don't. And anything in between. The Hooniverse Podcast is about the intersection of all things automotive and everyday life. That means we'll also talk about anything that pops into our little brains. From beer and wine to dogs to travel, and anything else that strikes our fancy in a given moment. Our attention span is nill. Our episodes are rambling. Pull up a chair, pop on some headphones or turn up the volume in your car, hit play, and stay awhile.Cheers.

Solo Shortie
Before heading out on vacation, I wanted to get an episode out - this one is a solo shortie episode, but Jeff answers a bunch of questions while also rambling about a vehicle he can't fully talk about yet; the Cadillac Escalade-V.
Will I AM NOT
Ron and Jeff talk about the new Delorean Alpha5, a week spent with a Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid, and why the vintage Mustang market sucks. Then we get to your questions.
Not TUV Approved
This podcast is not TUV approved... but we're still here to talk about a few things today. We want to know when a project car is ever really done? There are some details on Autopia2099 Summer 2022 and then we talk a bit about Hoonigan's This vs That YouTube series. Finally, we then dive into some of your questions.
Time to Sell Things?
Ron and Jeff are both considering selling one of their vehicles. This is to fund more nonsense. Which ones do they want to sell and what is the plan if they do sell? We dive into that and also talk about the new Escalade-V, the Hoonipigasus, and answer a bunch of questions.
Swatch Your Mouth! with guest Nick Ferrell of DC Vintage Watches
Our friend Nick Ferrell from DC Vintage Watches is back on the podcast once again. We talk a bit about his old Trooper, modifying car clocks, and then we dive heavy into watch stuff. And we try to understand the vitriol that hard-core watch folks levied at the Omega x Swatch collaboration.
Ron named the Honda Element
Did you know that Ron named the Honda Element? I didn't until this episode! We also talk about some Bring-A-Trailer sales, the Land Rover Defender 90 V8, Hyundai Kona N, our project cars, and then answer your questions!
Trying New Tech
Ron and I are back for episode 327, in which we are trying out some new podcast-capture tech. I check in with Ron on the status of his Sh*tbox Speakeasy and his project cars before we get to a handful of your questions!
Zack Klapman is a Mustache Man
Zack Klapman is our guest on this episode of the Hooniverse Podcast. We talk about his career moves, how he got to where he is now, and then we answer a bunch of viewer/listener questions.
Dulcet Tones
Ron and I are back for the full episode this week and we kick it off by talking about the new GR Corolla. I'm all for it but Ron needs some convincing. After that there's a little chatter on the opening round of Formula Drift, Ron's project car updates, and then we take your questions!
Quasi-Bonus Episode!
Yep, we slacked last week... so to make up for it, we're going to have TWO episodes this week. And I'm recording a third episode for next week when I'm on vacation. Today it's just me (Jeff) and I've got some project car updates and then a story about how I'm dumb about knowing how to schedule stuff properly.
St. Paddy's Podcast Party
Ron and Jeff celebrate St. Patrick's day with a few stories before diving into the car talk. Jeff has just driven the Porsche 911 GTS Targa, an electric Cobra, and will soon drive the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE. Then the two hosts discuss the current states of their project cars. There are more upgrades in store for the Montero, and Ron's Tahoe has a dashcam now. Finally, Ron and Jeff take a moment to single out some folks who are doing great stuff in the industry.
Car Person Ascension
Jeff was off wrenching on things for eight days while Ron was getting up close and personal with a monster truck. Also, Ron has ascended as a car person... he's getting a garage space with some friends. There's some talk about our own cars, the new Acura Integra, and then we answer your questions.
Ramble On! (Again!)
This episode broke, but I fixed it - and in the beginning, we ramble on about non-car stuff before diving into actual car talk. We also take a bunch of questions.
Re-Do!
We missed a week due to some technical issues, so this episode is a sort of re-do. In it, hosts Jeff and Ron muse about their day-to-day goings-on before Ron reveals that one of his project vehicles was recently broken into. It's a C10 pickup and it's an odd target considering it's in a locked yard with no headlights. People suck... but thankfully, this podcast soldiers on at least, right?
Dishing on Dashcams with Nextbase
Jeff Chu from Nextbase is on the podcast to talk all things Dashcam. We cover what's in store for the future of this segment, why you should pick one dashcam over another, and find out the craziest dashcam video that Jeff has seen.
Big Bucks at Barrett!
Ron and Jeff discuss the recent insanity in auction prices at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale and Mecum's Kissimmee auction. The duo talks about the Daytona 24 Hour Race, answer some questions from Instagram, then give updates on their various project vehicles. The most important one? The Montero is back in action!
From television to old trucks with guest Lyn Woodward
Lyn Woodward is a great person to chat with about how they made their way into the industry. It's a path unlike a lot of other folks, and it's landed here in a place with a great audience, some cool project cars, and a lot of stories to tell. This includes her off-road adventures with the Rebelle Rally, her two-door first-gen Mitsubishi Montero, and so much more.
Jarod DeAnda on YOLLO and the Ranch Water Hour Spectacular
Jarod DeAnda is the voice of Formula Drift. He's also touching a whole lot of the automotive enthusiast realm right now, and on top of that, he's a hell of a great guy and a good storyteller.
Watches and Wheels with Nick Ferrell of DC Vintage Watches
An intersection of the watch and car world? That NEVER happens! It's happening here on the podcast with guest Nick Ferrell. He's the owner of DC Vintage Watches, which sells and sources all sorts of great vintage timepieces. Most of them are priced exceptionally reasonably as well since he specializes in old Seiko timepieces. We also talk about Nick's long-time-owned Isuzu Trooper, and a bit about how the watch and car world often intertwine. Check out Nick's store at https://www.dcvintagewatches.com/
Happy? New Year!
Hooniverse Hosts Ron and Jeff consider what they enjoyed most in the automotive space in 2021. The pair reflect on the good while thinking about the future. There's also a look at some auction results, talk about a recent off-road video by Alan Ampudia on YouTube, and then a bunch of questions before a toast to the year past and the year ahead!
Used to Care?
On this episode of the Hooniverse podcast, Jeff and Ron examine more auction results, talk about cars that don't interest them anymore, bring up their project car woes, and answer some questions.
Gauge Cluster F**k
The Montero gauge cluster is still not fixed. Regardless, we dive on to some good and bad Bring-A-Trailer listings, talk about the new Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo, chat about our project cars, and then answer your questions!
