New Tired. Two episodes, one public, one Patreon, and that's right: SHE'S BACK. www.patreon.com/posts/149889... We do a little 24 Hours of Daytona recap up front, then welcome @victoriascott.bsky.social back on the pod to talk about @trangirlismo.bsky.social and more. BUT WAIT. THERE'S MORE...

Tired episode 105, with Rory calling in from trackside at Daytona, will be up either tonight or in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. (Your producer pal Matty has been handling snow/ice removal for a few days and is trying to marathon the edit on equal milligram amounts of tylenol and caffeine rn)

If you’re racing curious, this is maybe the best time ever to get into sports cars. Check out this comprehensive IMSA preview from Peter Hughes: alloymag.com/endurance-ra...

I feel special being named checked by @rorycarroll.bsky.social for @alloymag.bsky.social‘s piece on Geely. Give it a read alloymag.com/ready/

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Full story by @josephcox.bsky.social: www.404media.co/dhs-is-lying...

www.patreon.com/posts/episod... HAPPY NEW TIRED. The semiotics of the ID. Buzz, the pain of market forces, Cheez-It v. Pop-Tart, an In Memoriam from the autojourno world, new tunes from Peter, and some predictions for the new year. Plus: a twist ending for real Tired heads.

The design of this bumper sticker, which you can see all over the bay area, hasn't changed in over 30 years, because unfortunately it has never not been relevant.

Was 2025 a rough one for you? If so, Peter Hughes just dropped a new song for this New Years Eve. And it's open enough that you'll be able to use it for every weary, beaten-down New Years Eve to come. Bring on the next one... peterpeterhughes.bandcamp.com/track/happy-...

NEW TIRED! www.patreon.com/posts/episod... Rory brings us the trials & travails of adventuring in not-quite the right vehicle, Peter identifies two very different kinds of lane-assist, and Matty hangs onto his Windows 10 machine for dear life.

our promise at Tired: The Car Podcast For People Who Understand That Cars Are Bad is that the Video Podcast fad will come and go w/o us joining in, and i as your producer will still be providing you the best audio experience that my bare hands and Audacity will allow

a note from yr producer pal matty on Patreon Dunk Tank: good ol' G.K. keeps forging ahead. i have 473 more chapters to read, and $223/mo means i'm set to put another 23-chapter dent in that. will our Patreon subscribers get me over the finish line in 2026? or will G.K. hit 7 million words first?

In ep #100, we've got Chery news, a text-based movie review from a friend of the pod, speculation on Bari Weiss's engagement metrics, and a follow-up from Peter on Drive My Car. And as a holiday present to Peter who likes things Pod Verité, I left some coughing in. www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

NEW TIRED. We talk about big corporations demonstrating they straight-up don't care anymore, scratch the surface on CAFE regs making cars worse, and talk about the most beautiful form factor money can buy... if you're lucky. PLUS: an update on Peter's Peugeot 505? www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

WE'RE BACK. Eulogies for the ID. Buzz, MORE troubles ahead for the German automotive industry, and Rory reminds us all that no corporation is your friend, your ally, or really even capable of moral good at all due to the system in which it operates. www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

There are two neat Tired eps in the pipeline, one public and one Patreon! They'll be up as soon as your producer pal Matty figures out why Audacity started lagging and then perpetually crashing today mid-edit...

Patreon Subscriber Thank You Dunk Tank #1 is now live. For the rest of you: soundcloud.com/tired-podcas...

your producer pal matty would like to apologize in advance for probably our most matty-heavy episode yet

BELATEDLY. Hey, new episode went up on the Patreon over the weekend! soundcloud.com/tired-podcas...

www.patreon.com/posts/episod... Bumping one of our favorite eps from the back catalogue. If you love this one, you should go say so on our Patreon page!

DESPITE the best efforts of apparently every piece of software/kernel/etc on producer Matty's desktop this week, we have TWO NEW EPISODES OF TIRED

NEW PETER HUGHES RECORD HALF STAFF BLUES IS NOW LIVE! ON BANDCAMP! LISTEN! DOWNLOAD YOUR PREORDER! BUY IT WHEN BANDCAMP FRIDAY STARTS IN A BIT! GET IN THERE!!!!! peterpeterhughes.bandcamp.com/album/half-s...

IT IS TIME. A new (sort-of-two-parter) pair of episodes? You know the drill. Come over to the free feed and Episode 85 for some Corvette history, project car updates, and some background on the subject of Episode 86... www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

i am astounded. thank you all. i now at minimum have to go read the first 11 chapters of the 6 million word formula 1 fanfic and start figuring out how that wordcount snowball started rolling downhill. to our patrons: thank you, thank you, have mercy, thank you, and preorder peter's new record

Uh oh! We are now one new subscriber away from putting your producer pal Matty in the dunk tank.

NEW TIRED! Pop back a week in the timestream with a new ep on the free feed, checking in with some of our frenemies and previewing Rory's trip to Monterey Car Week. www.patreon.com/posts/137168...

NEW TIRED: PATREON-ONLY EP. We've got Rory's report from his Penske trip, where he saw some cool workouts, learned some pit crew secrets, and found out that they're hiding the world's coolest driver in the Porsche Sprint Challenge? Put in your $5/month at patreon.com/tiredpod for this AND..........

WE'RE BACK. Tired returns with some old automotive magazine flavor as Peter and Rory explain the MacPherson Strut. We've had good reason to be busy: Peter's got a record coming out (Matty's posting about that at @claremontcometh.bsky.social) & Alloy's getting merch! www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

WE HAVE BEEN A LITTLE QUIET HERE AT TIRED POD, that is true, but we had good reasons. Peter announced a new record that's coming out Sept. 5th (with a single coming out this Friday 8/1) and Rory's got some Alloy updates. Tired is back on schedule starting this week!

NEW EPISODE. Rory's been on a work trip, so here's our check-in from travel mode in Pod Verité style, straight off the Google Meet call! Penske Perfect mindsets, Dinosaur Jr. show demographics, Zora Arkus-Duntov, and Matty's idea for a Penske x maimai Collab. www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

Okay, okay. Here's an account just for new episodes, news from the Patreon, related project updates (Alloy, etc) teasers, and more. Like this: Where should new listeners start with Tired? www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
