@@mickeyaxelson4198 Idk man, the idea of a podcast is that's something you just listen to while doing stuff you very likely hate to don't suffer as much, I don't know how many people watch the podcasts instead of just listening to them, I think they should ask us to vote of we want the video-podcasts back, so they can be sure it's worth the extra work

@@LeoMkII If I wanted to hear people talk without any visuals, I'd listen to talk radio like some boomer. Having video adds so much to the experience. When the video went away, I stopped tuning in nearly as much as I did and even when I do, I have trouble listening all the way through. My ADHD attention span doesn't mix well with traditional audio only podcasts, that was one of the things that made Past Gas so great earlier on, it was a pod I could actually sit through

Speaking of Honda, you should do a podcast on the history of one of the most famous 4 cylinders ever made, the V-TEC! I would love to see the origin story of this iconic 4 banger, and speaking of legendary Honda’s, do a podcast on the Acura NSX, another legendary 90s supercar!

Great episode, however you are a little off with the cvcc story. GM's president at the time said Honda's "little toy engine" wouldn't work with a full size us product. Old man Honda heard them call it a toy and had a brand new 1969 caprice 350 delivered to his factory. 3 weeks later it's shipped back to the EPA in Michigan and it passes. He developed a cvcc head for the stock 350 with no cats. IN 3 WEEKS! It also got 18 city and 26 highway!

I just pushed the boss on his ass. The next day Soichiro got like all the executives and went out looking for him and was like hey man you have to come back to work like the passion you have is exactly what I need in this company. Then again at the end that thing about people working harder if they're not forced is absolutely f****** b******* Honda f****** forces you to work like a m***********
