Here's a snippet:
Oh, okay. Well, we'll have to go back. A couple episodes. Probably. It might have been Episode two where it had mentioned to you that somebody had given me a bottle of bourbon, and at the time, I couldn't really remember because, you know, I wasn't at home and it wasn't staring at the bottle, but I have the bottle in my hand, so let me know you would have. And if you remember, I think you used the word gimmicky. But yes, if you didn't, I did. So here we go. Here we go. Um, the bourbon is made by Jefferson's. It's ocean aged at sea and it says, blend of straight bourbon whiskeys. Very small batch. And then there's a little label on the side, and it says, Ocean aged at sea. Ocean voyage 17. Hand selected by Bourbon Street Barrel number five. Batch number 1 40 Bottle number 30. So it makes it sound very special. Yeah, well, when at the top on around the neck even says voyage 17. That's special.

In this episode of the Autoish Podcast Mike talks about one of his votes for the worst car ever made, the Cadillac Cimarron. Pete talks about his love for the Jeep Wagoneer and so much more. Mike picks up where he left off in episode 2 talking about the all-new BMW M3, M4 and his exclusive look at the two cars long before their release.
The Cadillac Cimarron is Mike's first pick for Pete's new segment called "What's aged the worst." Mike renames this segment as "one of the worst cars ever made" and comes out of the gate making fun of this early 80's Cadillad on the J-Platform made popular by the Chevy Cavalier, Oldsmobile Firenza, Buick Skyhawk and the Pontiac J2000. This poorly rebadged GM vehicle was a tragic fail for Cadillac and bears the brunt of Mike's jokes in this episode.
Mike also talks about a visit to the BMW assembly plant back in 2000 when the Spartanburg plant was building the BMW Z3 and the E53 X5 at the time. He recalls watching a new X5 being disassembled for quality purposes.
Pete eludes to upcoming episode 4 where Mike and Pete geek out about audiophile audio gear, tech, and the world of vinyl. Mike is looking forward to this episode where he seems to be ready to bore everyone not interested in audio with his knowledge of two channel, analog audio and the world of turntables and vinyl.

In this first episode of the Autoish Podcast, Mike and Pete discuss some of their favorite podcasts, iPods, Audiophile stuff and much more (ish.) Mike gets a like geeky talking about audiophile DIY interconnect wires and touches on his recent subscription to Tidal. They both discuss what podcasts got then into podcasts and what episodes they recently listened to that moved them. Mike mentions that a recent episode on the Tim Ferriss show with Gary Keller, episode 401 moved him because of a simple question that Tim asked Gary towards the end of the interview. Tim had asked Gary Keller what he would put on a billboard for millions to see and his answer was "Think big and Aim high."
We arrived at the name of our podcast by combining the industry that we are both involved in, automotive and the idea that our podcast will cover a wide range of stuff. That's the "ish" part of our name. In future episodes we'll discuss; marketing, Pinterest, Audiophile gear, other podcasts, bourbon, watches, cars and more. #autoish #autoishpodcast #podcast #automotive #marketing
