E47: B-B-B-B-B-Bonus Round!

What 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. […]

E46: The Bold and the Beautiful

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 […]

E45: Matt Fiddled With It

A 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, […]

E44: Don’t Smoke Winnies, Kids!

A 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 […]

E43: His ‘n’ Hers

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 […]

Featured

E42: Crack A Tinnie And Neck It

Joseph 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 […]

Featured

E41: The Dog’s Breakfast

After 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 […]

E40: Tofu-Rama

We’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 […]

E39: Milton Mangoes Down South

We 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 […]

E38: Wham Bam Thank You Ma’am

This 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 […]

Featured

E37: Junk In The Frunk

On 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 […]

Featured

E36: Whippin’ Round in a Pink Corvette

We’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 […]

Featured

E35: I’ve got the PHEV…

After 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 […]

E34: Death By Snu Snu

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 […]

Featured

E33: Tingle in the Pringle

Better 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 […]

Featured

E32: Horse Strength

It’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 […]

Featured

E31: Shrivel Factor is Real

It’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 […]

E30: Like an Old Marriage

We’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. […]

E29: A Beer in a Man’s Hat

We’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 […]

Featured

E28: Automotive Hipster

We 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 […]

Featured

E27: Trump Clues

We 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 […]

E26: Poundage Difference (bad audio quality)

The audio quality is bad, bu the bantz quality is high!

E25: Send Noods

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 […]

E24: It’s not Earth, it’s Perth

Matt 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 […]

E23: This Is Star Wars

It’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 […]
