Hello and welcome to Overdrive a program that puts a magnifying glass to the role of cars and transport in our society and ends up burning a hole in it.

I’m David Brown

The times each story appears in the program are noted (mm:ss)

Road Test
A quick road test of the just launched Audi Q5 medium sized SUV Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (the Good the bad and the Ugly)

Vehicle Review
We also have a longer discussion with Dean and Evan about the Toyota Corolla GR – not your traditional Corolla

Feature
We talk to Mark Byrnes who compiled the Total Environment Centre’s rating of electric vehicles. He is not backward in naming the companies that did not do as well as he would like.

Overdrive: Audi Q5 PHEV – power is key; A new system to rate EVs; Corolla GR looks and performance

Hey guys - welcome to another exciting episode of BM! Jenn brings us into the program and Katie decided she's done doing show intros because hers are always sloppy for some reason (they aren't). Luke had a crappy week due to some mechanical household failures that ruined his day-off plans and finances for the week. Edward and Katie celebrated their brass / polyester / nickel / cobalt / lithium-ion anniversary, so Katie's gift from Edward was YARN. Edward dominates the anecdotes segment this week and tells us all about his latest trip to the dentist, doing 'video game store things' and his love of Big Bang Theory - all before delving into his bathroom cleaning tips, etiquette and moments of zen. Luke and Edward had a 'high fidelity' meeting involving business, podcast planning and currency exchange. Luke was forced into talking with someone in public about his secret gay car, Jenn remembers talking with people in public about her motorcycle and Katie renames both of their genitals (again). Luke decides that he needs a Chuck E. Cheese birthday. Nobody cares. This week's special activity game is the triumphant return of the [Fuckit Bucket]. What we have gone and done this time is a whole bunch of 'Would You Rathers' separated into two buckets. Maybe something good.. maybe something bad. We would very much like to hear what YOU would rather do! Would you eat a candy coated cat turd or grow a handlebar moustache? How would YOU feel about having farts that smell like apple cider (in the off season)? Three weird boobs or one weird Thanksgiving? Would you rather touch someone's hair or get a paper cut? You guys all remember Figging?! Hear about more stupid crap and more other things on BM this week this time. Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @bubbmush and email the show at bubbmush@gmail.com - thank you very much for listening and remember to tell all of your friends about the show. Those dummies might like it too!
