So I recently did a collaborative episode with Classic 4x4 and that episode is out now on most popular listening platforms.



And if you want to see the truth that I do have a face for radio Chris Piconi published it on the Classic 4x4 you tube channel

I was also on the Anderson Overland podcast as a guest the other day and it can be found here.

 
So Last night I recorded an episode with Ward Harris. I got it edited and published my I for got to bring my phone with me today. Luckily I can still get on here with my work computer and tell you all that his episode is out now and ready to listen on your favorite listening platform. But for now I can't share the link to get you guys to go give it a listen. Needless to say Ward is a great guy to talk to and super down to earth. Honestly I was intrigued for the whole conversation so i hope that you are as well.

 
Come hell or high water I am taking my 40 to my kids' car show this week My wife and oldest said that I should do an episode there. Should I do one regardless, only if there is an other land cruiser or no?
 
Possibly do an episode of the passersby’s and let them tell you about what they’re seeing and what they think? Some people are like pulling teeth in conversation but occasionally you get someone who can really let the words fly

I was trying to do what you suggested and I was able to speak with a couple people. One lady had a pretty sweet 70 series but it was her dad's, and didn't really have information and stories.

Then I ran into a sort of local legend @Wilma83 and had a short conversation with her. I tried recording it but the remote microphone picked up too much background noise. But I am going to try to get her on later.

This week on the podcast I speak with Cruisers Cocktails from Instagram about how every story about these old Land Cruisers are transformative and invigorating.



I also had a brief encounter with a a guy selling a 77 mustard yellow 40 that he was the original owner of last Sunday that I forgot to share here. It is a brief episode about how he bought it.

 
On this week's episode of the Classic Land Cruisers podcast I speak with @tomahawk.cruiser from Instagram and we get a bit geeky over his Fj60 inspired by @jackcarrusa character James Reece

I was wanting to have Mr. Land Cruiser from Australia on for season 3 episode 1 coming up mid May. That has fallen through and now I am looking for suggestions for a replacement

On that note I have been doing some brain storming myself and I have a couple of lines in the water. Needles to say I think that season 3 premier is going to be one that you all are going to want to hear! I am excited about it and I was geeking out a little bit last night as I was getting the ground work established. That is all I am going to say for now. That being said that the last couple of episodes of season 2 should be really interesting as well, so don't stop listening. And for those of you who are guessing on who could it be that has got me so excited no, unfortunately it is not Jack Carr.
 
This week's episode of the Classic Land Cruisers podcast is live now featuring Bob Newel and his BJ40. He shares a story with me about how he got into some trouble with a neighbor while on a fishing trip with his son and son-in-law. She was getting upset with Bob because every time he would drive past her house her husband would start looking for a land cruiser.

I can hear what’s on that black lab’s mind: “man, I wish that guy would quit photo-bombing my pics with my cruiser!” 😂
 
This has been one of many milestones that I never thought I would reach. Yet here we are the end of "season 2." I only call them seasons because I didn't have a natural break through out the years. Yeah plural my mind is blown and I am humbled that you guys still are listening. So enough of the sappy crap.

This week's episode is featuring Jeremy @fj55_springcruiser on Instagram. We talk about how his Fj55 was a catalyst for restarting all over again.

Not to waste any time I charge into season 3 this time with @cruiserdan and I get force fed knowledge with a fire hose, and I liked it. We talk about the nuance changes in evolution of the Land Cruiser, mutts, Cruise Moab, and stopping and smelling the exhaust, because let's be honest us cruiser heads would rather smell that then roses anyway.

I really enjoy your podcast. I grew up in my dad's FJ40's. He taught be to drive in one when I was 9 years old and I've owned a few myself. Dad and I are currently rebuilding my 72. It's a normal father/son build except that he's 80 and I'm 50. Everything hurts all the time. It's great! I'm old enough to be cognizant that it's very likely the last time we will work together and I'm really savoring it. I'm documenting it on Youtube for my own viewing later on. This Land Cruiser and the experience of building it with him has really become a love letter to my dad. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Thank you for that support. I love hearing that people are not getting tired of the sound of my voice. This father/son build sounds really cool ;). I think that I would like to hear more about it. What do you think about the pair of you guys to be on the podcast, to share about what this project means to each of you?🤔
