Bike Talk - Live to Ride

G’Day and welcome to Overdrive a program that samples as much as it can of the pleasures of cars and transport

I’m David Brown

Feedback from social media posts
•	The most verbose press release of the year so far – The Kia K4 
 

Are young people still embarrassed by the car that they are driven to school in?

•	Is it the car or the parents?
•	For my son there were only a few cars that I could drive him to school in.  I developed a key measure of the street cred of a vehicle “The Matthew Brown will you drive me to school in that car” factor.

Road Test – Nissan Juke 
 
•	It’s classified as an SUV!
•	We asked a young intern what he thought the market for the vehicle is and how would he advertise it.

New vehicle efficiency standard
•	It is a step in the right direction but compromises by powerful manufacturers have made it a shuffle rather than a stride

LYRICS
Someone gave me a head too big for my body
Slurring my words in a hotel room
I hosted too big of a graduation party
And I didn’t even go to school

I missed my classes
Don’t ask me why
I was getting stuck in pages of your life

So will you tell me where you’re going
Cause your face it doesn’t show it
And I need to know

Did you change your mind?
Did you change your mind?
Cause you’re not in mine
Yo, Did you change your mind?

When I met you there
By the stairs
Said something was in my hair
You said I was getting taller
I thought you looked like your father
Met you there, by the stairs
You told me you didn’t care
I thought I was getting smarter
Made my life a little harder

I know you’re lonely and need someone to hold
I know it hurts when you don’t want it to show
But you can tell me anything at any time
Even though you lie
And I need to know

Did you change your mind?
Did you change your mind?
Cause you’re not in mine
Yo, Did you change your mind?

Did you change your mind?
Did you change your mind?
Cause you’re not in mine
Yo, Did you change your mind?

I’m the peculiar bitch from M-A-S
you got a bail fund saved for Kanye West
I got yankee candle swagger and my body don’t matter
Can’t control I’m a high roller
I love Dunkin’ Donuts, baby
Woo!

Did you change your mind?
Did you change your mind?
Cause you’re not in mine
Did you change your mind?

if i looked this
if i talked like that
if i bent my wrist
would you want me back
if i found my strength
if I lost the weight
if i did my thing
would you change your mind?

I got a 1 on the AP exam

LYRICS
Well I was sitting next to you
During class during school
You had your same blue eyes
You didn’t think I was cool
You wore your jeans down low
With your backpack full
And I wanted to you to know that
I kinda liked you

When I go to your house after school
And you’re teaching me something
And I think you’re so cool
With your hair and your face and
I’m nothing

Show me how you do it like that
Show me how to make it last
Show me you how you wear your hair undone so that everyone doesn’t laugh
Show me how to make a scene
Show me how you do everything
Show me how you do it like that
Cause I can’t pass Chinese Class

And you know
I don’t even wanna go
Like
I just wanted see a movie
Or something
You know I mean
But you wanted to go to your friends house
And
Yeah…
Well maybe next time
or
uh
the time after that
Cause
Yeah…

So I don’t go to your house after school
You’re not teaching me something
But I still think you’re cool
With your hair and your face and
I’m nothing

Show me how you do it like that
Show me how to make it last
Show me you how you wear your hair undone so that everyone doesn’t laugh
Show me how to make a scene
Show me how you do everything
Show me how you do it like that
Cause I can’t pass Chinese Class

wait, what?
(in the back of the room)
You’re everything to me
(at Harvard Law School)
you never notice me
(In New York, anywhere)
But you won’t take the lead
So just forget it
Hope I don’t get regret it

Show me how you do it like that (Show me how)
Show me how to make it last (And I promise I will make it last)
Show me you how you wear your hair undone so that everyone doesn’t laugh (uh huh!)
Show me how to make a scene (You wanna make a scene)
Show me how you do everything (You are so sexy)
Show me how you do it like that (Show me how you do it, baby)
Cause I can’t pass

How I Survived the Market Crash

LYRICS
I was too scared to be a martyr
Didn’t wanna let down my father
Spent 7 years of my life
Saying I don’t wanna do this tonight
So I slept through the bombs and the barters
And realized I lowkey had daughters
So I started packing my things
Had to hope I wasn’t being an idiot

There is something seriously wrong when men in this country think they are charming
They don’t got it
But they want it
And they’re never gonna get it

So we blame it on the severance 
Make me lose all common sense
Make me feel like an idiot
‘Cause I wanna be with you
Star sixty seven it
Bleach my hair on the internet
Forget your name and then cry about it
‘Cause I wanna be with you

When I met you 
Did you think I was scared?
Had a bullshit job but I left it Ayer (ah ah…)
Got drunk at the holiday party
And you took me home didn’t think it was funny 
Now i burn books as a side hobby
And all my friends listen to Garbage 
But I don’t wanna be an idiot
So I double down and don’t have kids
(Wait, what?)

Severance 
Make me lose all common sense
Make me feel like an idiot
‘Cause I wanna be with you
Star sixty seven it
Bleach my hair on the internet
Forget your name and then cry about it
‘Cause I wanna be with you

And there you’ll be
With the stupid shirt you always wear
Call me a slur but I don’t care
We’ll watch a movie or two or three
And there you’ll be
Start to laugh cause you’re so funny
Wear your sweater like a rosary
And it’s everything I want it to be

So we blame it on the severance 
Make me lose all common sense
Make me feel like an idiot
‘Cause I wanna be with you
(I don’t even really know what that means)
Star sixty seven it
Bleach my hair on the internet
Forget your name and then cry about it
‘Cause I wanna be with you

So we blame it onnnnnnnn
(You you you you you you)
(I wanna be with you!)
Blame it onnnnnnnn
(You you you you you you)
So we blame it-
(Blame it onnnnn)
On and on and on and on and on
(Blame it onnnnnn)
The severance

Special Interview Recorded (6/10/2025) and Uploaded (6/12/2025)

In this special we speak with Andrea Stearns a Registered Nurse and socially conscious Minneapolis activist. Stearns has an organization called Red Dog Collective (https://www.reddogcollective.org/) that provides services to the unhoused community in South Minneapolis.

In this special we discuss the Tuesday, June 3rd raid on Las Cuatro Milpas at Bloomington Ave and East Lake in Minneapolis. The raid included federal agents dressed like soldiers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and others as well as Sheriffs and Minneapolis Police. In the aftermath when federal agents had left the scene a vehicle hit Stearns who was directing traffic around protestors.
