Great show

I really enjoyed the interview with Mr Brainwash. It's amazing how the Peterson staff (Daniel) are able to find guests outside of the automotive industry (so | thought) and and make them come to life with everything we enjoy- cars. Great interview Daniel

Good show good guests! I don’t know if Patrick the host talks about his Lexus enough, I love good fancy camry talk.
