It's a well-known fact that August has eight weeks. This well-known fact is reflected in the dialogue of today's episode, in which things are discussed sitting on the blacktop for eight weeks in August. Today's episode drops October 11th, and somehow, up until a few days ago, it was still August. Still August temperatures, anyway. I guess that makes it more like nine or ten weeks of August. August August August. aUgUst AuGusT. I'll stop saying AUGUST now

E17 - We Help Ted With His Road Trouble
Welcome back, loyal listeners! Low Gear Lesson of the day: Be very wary of guys named Ted in broken-down Fiats on the side of the highway. You see, Ted is in a very fragile mental state and has drastically low self-esteem. He has fallen to the level of doing some weird stuff as payment for service on his car. Don't ask how we know. Also, apparently Fiat stands for Found On Road Dead. I would've guessed that would spell FOAD, but hey, what do I know?

E16 - Durian
Known in some regions as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, strong odor, and thorn-covered rind. The fruit can grow as large as 30 cm (12 in) long and 15 cm (6 in) in diameter, and it typically weighs 1 to 3 kg (2 to 7 lb). Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the color of its husk from green to brown, and its flesh from pale yellow to red, depending on the species. The flavor of the flesh is complex with savory notes. The texture is creamy and pudding-like.

E15 - Bedsheety Car Mods Pt. 3: The Great Apostasy
On today's episode of Second Gear Shenanigans, we return to our beloved establishment known as r/SheetyCarMods. I write "Sheety" in the episode description knowing full well I'm saying the actual word in the episode. Our hearts are broken to find that the bringers of terrible car mods have become apathetic to the sheetiness of cars. Those once strong soldiers of the faith have lost their way and fallen to the level of stock Honda Civics with slightly funny-looking spoilers. This is a dark day for the loyal core council of sheety car mod enjoyers. This is what the Apocrypha warned us of

E14 - Best of Second Gear Shenanigans (so far)
Memorial gold dredges! Prayer huts of unspecified religions! Mildly sexist bumper stickers! Bowling ball cars! Ladies and gentlemen, we've got it all in this 2GS highlight reel. Come on down to [insert distribution service here] Lane for an hour of unrelieved ridicule and retardation with which to escape the crushing torture of everyday existence. Only 2 cents a month, apparently

E13 - The Classiest of High-Class Classics (modern sophistication)
Good day, my good sir. At this time we shall commence a special episode of Second Gear Shenanigans known as "Modern Classics." As one may gather, my good man, in this most distinguished of episodes we shall cover only the classiest of cars and - oh dear, it would seem as though we've encountered a riot-control combine harvester. I say, what a shocking turn of events. Oh good heavens, a goth girl car? Oh, how disgraceful - uh, cut to ad break! CUT TO AD BREAK!

E12 - Cannons 'n' Chokers
Today's episode, loyal listeners, is a discussion of the many ways to die: discharging homemade cannons with a pound of black powder and gravel, being choked to death when a chubby little Asian kid clips a carabiner onto your choker in church, being hunted down with a shotgun by your churchgoing mother when she finds out you occasionally say no no words on your podcast, childbirth, and having a brain aneurism listening to Ian's constant nose wheezing into the mic.

E11 - "LCD Isn't That Good For You"
On today's episode, the famed English words enthusiast JX Coalman explains why LCDs, the liquid crystal displays that form a key component of electronic screens, are not healthy for the human body when ingested. Or maybe he meant to say LSD, the psychedelic drug rampant in the 1970s that also is not the ideal thing to go inside your body. Ian, how could you be so careless as to let JX make that mistake. It's all your fault, obviously.

E10 - Deprivation Revelation
They say a person's true nature is revealed in trials and hardship. As John goes through the trial and hardship of the day after pulling an all-nighter, which fixed his sleep schedule for exactly one day, he makes many interesting decisions - telling stories in the intro, secretly recording strange pre-podcast conversations with his co-host, leaving Ian to host the podcast alone while he visits the golden arches, and at the end of the day, concocting the edgiest episode of Second Gear Shenanigans yet on the occasion of the milestone 10th episode. If we're going to get canceled, now is a very poetic time for it to happen.

E9 - How To Kill A Ditz
Welcome back to John and Ian's Brainrot Buffet! This week, we have a lot of wacky vehicles, laughter, ridicule of the listings and each other, and as the title shows, definitely no discussion topics that will get us put on an FBI watchlist. And always remember, kids, it's not sexist if it's true.

E8 - r/IntoxicatedInstagram
Razzle dazzle, friends! It's me, the Razz Dazzler! This is what my life has become! If you got that reference, you're an OG. On today's episode, the razz dazzling usually done by Ian is taken over by John, who has discovered some gems in the midst of his rotting on Instagram.
I'm not high I promise

E7 - Soon May The Seller Man Come
Welcome back to Second Gear Shenanigans, loyal followers. Once again, I am right on time dropping this episode! Do not question, do not deconstruct, simply accept and listen to John and Ian make fools of themselves on this 2GS summer special featuring antique boats and wheeled snow machines.

E6 - Happy 5,000th Birthday to the Great State of Murica
Happy 4th of July!!! This episode neither drops nor was recorded on the 4th. It's the same month/year, so we're all good. But in all seriousness, happy 250th birthday, USA. We love and support our country, military, police force and first responders. It's the government we hate. Do better. Here's to another 250 years!

E5 - Bedsheety Car Mods Pt. 2: Fender Flare Fiesta
Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, we have arrived at the long-awaited Part 2 of our Sheety Car Mods discussion!
That's it, that's all I have for this episode. Knock yourself out
6 Jul 2026
E4 - Bedsheety Car Mods Pt. 1
In part 1 of 2 that both dropped precisely on time (no need to question it), John and Ian look to the Sheety Car Mods subreddit for some high-quality podcast fuel. I say Sheety because I am writing this with a Russian accent, as you can tell. I guess a Mexican accent would also work

E3 - A Hearse Is Basically A Taxi For Dead People
This week on 2GS, the guys' ridicule of what people try to pawn off online is punctuated by John flexing his immaculate oiled-up production skills, along with Ian's undying love for the gain setting on his mic. Enjoy!

E2 - Tactical Chicken Wire
On today's episode of Second Gear Shenanigans, the guys look at several vehicles that would be weird to privately own - among them, a garbage truck, an amphibious vehicle, an articulated dump truck, and a halfhearted effort at a battling golf cart.

E1 - The Shoilet
Welcome to Second Gear Shenanigans! In this inaugural episode, JX Coalman and Martin J. Boogie laugh at some of the most ridiculous vehicle listings we could find online. We cover everything from lifted station wagons to remote-controlled coolers to a Wizard of Oz monkey costume that's most likely possessed. If that's your idea of 54 minutes well spent, we're your guys!
