    EP 17 | Let Them Come

    EP 17 | Let Them Come

    It's 2023! In this classic styled episode which may or may not have been recorded this year, we ponder the backbone of every modern day podcast; Sponsorship. Do we have one? Maybe. Do we talk about corollas and modern day car stuff? Possibly. Find out in this magical and mature hour and a half journey of discussion where we cover:

    -Hotmail and does it still exist?
    -(Car content:) What it's like to own and drive a Beams powered ae86 coupe!
    - "Balls to the wall." What does it mean?
    - Youtube ads in 2022
    -Homeownership and water heater repair!
    - Electrocution and how much it sucks
    - Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, a deep dive into Beast Wars lore, and The Ultimate Peter Cullen!
    - Rocky and Bullwinkle, Peabody and Mr. Sherman and damn we are old.
    - (More actual car content): Toyota trucks and how the current gen Tacoma is awesome.

    Thank you again for listening to our little podcast which to this day lacks structure and an inability to not tangent. We appreciate all of you who enjoy the rambles of three over 30 year old Toyota guys!

    16 Down by the Creek (Feat. Ezekiel Lee)

    We are elated to present to you, a long awaited collaboration in the corolla podcast cinematic universe. After years of talking about, scheduling, and one night of planning, we bring Ezekiel Lee of the CM Autohaus Podcast along with all three of the original Rollalife Podcast team (and Alex our intern/top patreon supporter) into two very special episodes!

    A close friend of the podcast, and arguably our greatest supporter, Ezekiel invited us into the pristine Autohaus/Annex Suspension/BattleGarageRS headquarters and we did what we do best; Talk story about corollas, life, and beyond!

    In this very special episode we cover;
    -How Z met his dog
    -The Autohaus bathroom vs. the Tec-Arts Bathroom
    -Our new cars!
    -How Ezekiel met Turtle, and how he got his corolla
    -Being an Anime boy then vs. now
    -What to do down by the creek in the forest
    -High School crushes and how to deal with it
    -Drifting vs. Grip driving
    -Life with our corollas, and people's drift car dreams

    The second half of our session will be released on the The Autohaus Podcast very soon! Thank you again to our listeners and most importantly Ezekiel for supporting us, taking the time out of your day to escape into an hour and a half of whimsy and tangents, and most importantly: having a good time.

    SHAUN, the best video game glitch ever
    How to Toyota Sequoia
    A retrospective on DragonBall Z... again!
    The Matrix, Fraiser, and ER and other topical and current mid 90's shows

    14 A Big Release

    14 A Big Release

    Hello listeners! Just in time for the holidays, we are happy to release this totally not holiday themed episode for your listening pleasure! We would like to apologize in advance for the lack of sound fidelity as this is our first VOIP recorded episode (Reyson was in Socal, and Turtle and Wes were in Norcal) but we'll be back on track in the future. In this extra large sized, and unintentionally personal episode we cover topics such as:

    The Pricing of A90 Supras
    Finding SR5's and GTS's out in the wild in 2019
    A tow guy named Barack
    An anxious Wes is getting married
    Turtle plans a car themed event for Wes's Wedding
    and dumb things we did at Wes's Clearlake Bachelor Party

    We again apologize if this episode sounds a bit rough but we'll be back in 2020 for more! Thanks again to our listeners for tuning into us for the last 3 years. Rollalife!

    13 Wabi Sabi: The Joy of Fixing Broken Corolla

    13 Wabi Sabi: The Joy of Fixing Broken Corolla

    Hello listeners! In this very special classic style episode (which may have been recorded when Captain Marvel came out) we get philosophical... for a little bit.

    If you haven’t heard of the Japanese term Wabi Sabi, take an educational journey with us as we figure out how it is intertwined into our lives as Corolla owners and why it’s so important to live by. Additionally we talk about such educational subjects as:

    Working on ZN6 chassis vs corollas
    Why Reyson doesn’t skateboard anymore
    The return of the A90 Supra
    Corollas being canon in the MCU
    Which Toyota would The Avengers Drive
    Reyson teaches his formula SAE team how to Rollalife
    Pivoting a couch up a flight of stairs
    And quite a bit more!

    Thank you again for listening and be well everyone!

    12 Welcome... to Toyota Park

    12 Welcome... to Toyota Park

    Hello! In this timeless episode which may or may not have been recorded in 2018 (See if you can date it), we interview our Retrenders.com host owner and car guy, Eddie. Eddie is a ukelele playing extraordinaire, and car guy without a current project car who has given our podcast a home for the last 2 years. Over an hour and a half we talk about such mature car guy topics as:

    Michael Jackson's Hair
    Pokemon... again
    What it's like to own a Celica, a mkIII Supra, then an ALL TRAC Celica as a young dumb college kid.
    What it would be like to visit Toyota Park (Think Jurassic Park but with old toyotas instead of dinosaurs)
    Upgrading from a Miata to a VW Beetle.
    What it's like to crash a VW Beetle
    Our updated someday builds and some listener questions!

    You can find more of Eddie on Instagram at @the_eddie131
    All musical stings in this episode are all generously provided by Eddie and Reyson

    And as usual:
    Reyson: @yetanotherhero
    Turtle: @turtle1032
    Wes: @thank_you_wes

    Thank you so much for listening to us ramble about old irrelevant Toyotas for hours. We appreciate it from the bottom of our twin cammed, surface rusty hearts. Stay tuned for more episodes!
