In spite of technical difficulties, we’ve powered through and we’re back with episode 60. First up, we talk about the Camaro arriving in dealerships within a few weeks. Then we talk about an Aussie icon, the Ford Territory, making a return but not where you might expect it. Mitch then proves he is utterly incapable […]
Read More E60: Celine DionThe Japanese tuning house Liberty Walk has turned their attention from supercars to the new Suzuki Jimny… And I hate it. I’m not sure who asked for it, but I am certain that a few too many Sapporo’s were involved. Liberty Walk is best known for making widebody kits for Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s and Nissan GTR’s, so […]
Read More Suzuki Jimny Ruined by Liberty WalkWe’re back for episode 59 this week, and our first topic this week is talking about Holden’s worst sales month since 1948. We then talk about Hairgel’s hair for some reason. Our next topic is about a British tourist racking up $47,000 worth of speeding fines in Dubai, which turns into a general discussion of […]
Read More E59: General HooneryIt’s just the original trio this week, which was a nice change of pace. We start off, after giving Hairgel some shade, with some conversation from Mitch, asking what’s the point of non-RS and S Audi’s. Joseph then talks about the X-Class Diesel pricing and specs being confirmed. We then play Matt’s new game, ‘Show […]
Read More E58: The Original OG TrioThis week, we’re joined by the now regular guest Michael Trew, as well as Ben Sewell of the ‘Pencil’s Ballercast’ podcast. This week we talk about the i30N Fastback Sedan, Lamborghini breaking Porsche’s Nurburgring record by more than 2 seconds, the Ranger Raptor’s anaemic engine, and comfortable daily hatchbacks, among our trademark banter and bollocks. […]
Read More E57: Nur-BurgerKing-RingWhere to start with this week’s episode, it’s a glorious blend of beer-induced insanity and brilliance, topped with a healthy serving of bollocks and a side of ridiculous. Sit down, strap in, ’cause It’s a hell of a ride. For business and advertising enquiries, please email contact@gearsandbeersmedia.com Gears and Beers Podcast on Apple Podcasts Gears […]
Read More E56: Raptor Light; I can’t believe it’s not RaptorThanks to Mr. Michael Trew who returns again this week, we actually have some beer to talk about as he kindly supplied some beers. One of which was bad, the other was decent. The first topic this week is Trewsy talking about his MX5, which once again, is broken. Matt then gives a brief update […]
Read More E55: The Automotive Equivalent of Flat EarthingWe start off by talking about the new 2019 Subaru Forester which Matt and Mitch both think is ugly, and is not a Forester. Then Mitch talks about the new Suzuki Jimny, which gets us off onto talking about 4×4’s, and later we talk about it being confirmed for Australia in Q1 2019. We then […]
Read More E54: Fisting Hard and PullingSorry we’re late this week, life stuff and things got in the way! We start off talking about motivational speakers, like Gary Vee, before we actually talk about anything relevant to the show… But what else is new? The first piece of news this week is about the 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye. Then we talk about […]
Read More E53: The Problem with Aston MartinWe’re a day late due to State of Origin was on Sunday night delaying the upload (we weren’t going to skip on Origin, don’t be ridiculous!). This week is the return of Mr. Michael Trewsy Trew, who hasn’t been a guest on the show for almost a year. There’s not much news this week, so we talk about our eBay […]
Read More E52: Paint It BlackSomehow, we’re made it to one year of episodes! We’d like to give all listeners a huge thank you, whether you’ve been here from the start, or only yesterday. Thank you for joining us on our bollocks and shenanigans. We start off by giving an update on each of our respective vehicles from when we […]
Read More E51: Screwed The PoochWe made it to episode 50, it’s hard to believe we’ve come this far, and still no end in sight. The first thing we talk about is Mitch’s mistake from Tuesday night. While it wasn’t fatal, it wasn’t fun for Mitch. We then talk about video games, specifically Forza Horizon 4 following the E3 2018 […]
Read More E50: Lively Young HorseMatt managed to recover episode 49 after GarageBand’s complete and utter failure, which is why this week’s episode is late. We start off with Matt talking about his knee surgery, otherwise his weak excuse to not drink for the next few months. To change things up, we actually talk about beer this week, and this […]
Read More E49: Cars, Beer, and RM’s – The Lost EpisodeWe’re back to our regularly scheduled programming this week with episode 48! After the usual bantz, we start off with Matt giving Mitch the budget for this week’s episode of ‘Finder’s Fee‘ – $7,500, but with a twist. The cars must be front wheel drive. While Mitch searches for cars, Joseph talks about a bit […]
Read More E48: Going The Full Rolf HarrisWhat the deuce? Two episodes in two days? Craziness! This episode is a continuation from the last episode, somewhat, and after a bit of nonsense, we start off with ‘Finder’s Fee‘… After Matt incorrectly calls it ‘What About This Car‘ a few times. The budget Joseph gave Matt for this week’s episode of ‘Finder’s Fee‘ is $200,000. […]
Read More E47: B-B-B-B-B-Bonus Round!We’re late again this week, sorry about that, but to make up for it, there’ll be a special bonus episode later this week as well. We start this week in the usual fashion, with an argument, and a discussion about ‘The Bold and the Beautiful‘, for some reason. Then we break trend and talk about […]
Read More E46: The Bold and the BeautifulA few days late, but better late than never! This was take-two of episode 45 as Matt accidentally killed the first recording 30 minutes in. We start off with the news, or rather, what news there has been in the last few weeks since we last recorded. Joseph brings up HSV importing the Chevy Camaro, […]
Read More E45: Matt Fiddled With ItA day late, but for good reason you’ll hear about next episode. This is the third, and last, episode in the three-in-one-night episode marathon to cover us while Joseph is in Japan. First topic, Joseph finally gets a chance to talk about the Netflix show ‘Fastest Car‘, and on the whole he was positive about it. We then […]
Read More E44: Don’t Smoke Winnies, Kids!This week is part two of the 3 episodes in one night marathon we did to cover Joseph’s absence while he’s in Japan. Matt finally gives up blue-ballsing everyone and reveals the car he bought months ago… We talk about this for a while, among semi-relevant tangents. We then move onto ‘Finder’s Fee‘. Mitch was given $25,000 with […]
Read More E43: His ‘n’ HersJoseph is going to Japan for a few weeks, so we had to record 3 episodes to cover his time away. Episode 42 is part one of our 3 episode marathon we recorded in one sitting, needless to say, by the end of episode 44 we were pretty delerious… But you’ll find out for yourself […]
Read More E42: Crack A Tinnie And Neck ItAfter a technical hitch with the upload, and better late than never, episode 41 is here! This week we discuss Pagani claiming they’re ending Huayra production with the L’Ultimo. We then talk about official prificing for the Ford Ranger Ratpor being released for the Australian market, and we were a bit off with our guestimation of […]
Read More E41: The Dog’s BreakfastWe’ve made it to the big 4-0! This week, we discuss the news, we play ‘Finders Fee‘, and Joel (rent-a-crowd) has his motorcycle minute (which turns into more than a minute), a new challenge has been put forward by Matt, and of course our usual banter. Firstly, Mitch gives Joseph his budget for the 3 […]
Read More E40: Tofu-RamaWe are back for episode 39 of Gears and Beers. This week, we talk our usual shit, children’s movies, cars, and beer. Mitch starts with wanting to discuss autonomous vehicles, and how the laws have a bit to catch up with the technology. This then transitions into talking about children’s animated movies. Matt then gives […]
Read More E39: Milton Mangoes Down SouthThis is an exciting episode for Gears and Beers, as we have upgraded our audio quality considerably. We have gone from a single Rode NT-USB with us 4 huddled around it, to a Rode Procaster each, connected to a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 audio interface, recorded with Garageband. We’re still tweaking the setup, but we think […]
Read More E38: Wham Bam Thank You Ma’amOn this week’s episode of Gears and Beers, we play Matt’s ‘What about this Car?’, Joel’s ‘Motorcycle Minute‘ returns, Joseph’s brings back his ‘Automotive Word Association‘, and of course our usual eloquent bullshittery and tangents. This week’s ‘What about this Car‘ is the Toyota MR2 Spyder, which while we all agree it is not the MR2 you […]
Read More E37: Junk In The FrunkWe’re back for episode 36! It was Geneva International Motor Show this week, so we had much news to talk about, plus many arguments and tangents are to be found in this episode. Mitch has finally found an electric car that he likes, and the other guys hate it; the Honda Urban EV. We then talk […]
Read More E36: Whippin’ Round in a Pink CorvetteAfter week off, we are back and with a fancy new intro and outro thanks to Robert Lee, a voice many of you I’m sure will instantly recognise. Matt’s away, so this week it’s just Mitch, Joseph and Joel. First two news topics this week are about Hyundai releasing pricing for the upcoming i30N, and their […]
Read More E35: I’ve got the PHEV…We’re all in the house this week, with the return of Matt after being hit by a truck (literally). First segment is a return of ‘What about this car?‘, and this week is a about the P-Plater favourite, the ’02 Mitsubishi Mirage… We then have caved in and allowed Joel, AKA Rent-A-Crowd, to have his own segment […]
Read More E34: Death By Snu SnuBetter late than never, here’s episode 33. It’s been a bit of a crazy week for the Gears and Beers crew… And not in the best way. I’m sure we’ll discuss the events in episode 34. This week is tangent city, more so than usual, believe it or not. First topic of the blocks is Nissan’s facelift […]
Read More E33: Tingle in the PringleIt’s episode 32, and we actually talk about beer! This week we’re drinking ‘Urban Crusader’, which is claimed to be an Australian “style” Double-Hopped Lager, however upon further inspection, it might actually be triple-hopped… Further investigation is needed. First actual news topic for the week is about Porsche rumoured to be putting a turbocharger on the […]
Read More E32: Horse StrengthIt’s a bit of a slow news week this week, but we persevere and end up with a great episode in the progress. Joel, AKA ‘Rent-A-Crowd‘, is back and brings up a brief topic about a gentleman who bought a car from Pagani without receiving vehicle papers making it impossible to register his new Pagani. Joseph […]
Read More E31: Shrivel Factor is RealWe’ve made it to episode 30! It’s hard to believe that we haven’t killed each other by now, but here we are. We start off by talking about Hyundai’s new Veloster Turbo and Veloser N, which were both announced at the Detroit Motor Show. Then, Joseph and Matt have an argument about turbocharging versus supercharging. […]
Read More E30: Like an Old MarriageWe’re all here this week, Mitch, Joseph, Matt and Joel (AKA Rent-A-Crowd), and it’s a properly interesting episode. We bring back talking about beer. We realise that we’ve dropped the ball in terms of the ‘Beer‘ part of ‘Gears and Beers‘, so we’re making an effort to talk about beer more! This week, we drink Great Northerns, a […]
Read More E29: A Beer in a Man’s HatWe are back! Well, at least Joseph and Matthew are (featuring the Rent-A-Crowd, Joel). The first topic of 2018 is prestige cars coming out in 2018, that Joseph goes through incredibly slowly. Joeseph then goes on a whopper of a rant about electric vehicles…. Then Matthew brings up electric motorcycles, for some reason. Matthew then brings […]
Read More E28: Automotive HipsterWe are back to our regularly scheduled programming! This week, Matt teases us with clues as to which car he is in the process of buying, and we spend 20 minutes trying to work out what car he is buying. We then talk about the Kia Stinger’s ANCAP safety rating, which turns into a bit of […]
Read More E27: Trump CluesThe audio quality is bad, bu the bantz quality is high!
Read More E26: Poundage Difference (bad audio quality)We have a special guest on this episode, his name is Joel. Joel was previously the Rent-A-Crowd, but has ascended to be a panel guest… And while he has never owned a car, he has drunk many a beer, so he’s at least 50% qualified to be on our pokey lil podcast. We crack into […]
Read More E25: Send NoodsMatt is back, and it’s like he never left as he’s still a bastard… We first discuss the new Aston Martin Vantage powered by a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 from AMG. Matt talks about his 3 weeks in Perth, featuring homeless people and a Toyota Corolla rental. Matt then sets the record straight on his position on Tesla, and electric vehicles after […]

Read More Video: 2017 MG3 Car ReviewIt’s still just Mitch and Joseph again this week, I honestly don’t know if we’ll recognise Matt when – if – he returns! This week, we discuss the newly announced Tesla Roadster which has a claimed 10,000nm of torque! Absolutely ludicrous! Joseph brings up the amazing new Singer / Williams Porsche 964 911, then we have an argument over which […]
