Summary

Walter tackles the "tragedy" of modern, ugly SUV designs, the lost art of the American-made sedan, and why car technology like Bluetooth never seems to work. Between reviewing bizarre test-market snack cakes—like the elusive Peanut Butter Hostess cupcake and red, white, and blue Oreos—and confessing to his impulsive, useless TikTok purchases, Walter takes lively listener calls on classic cars, junkyard adventures, and the glory days of triangle vent windows.
