After two excruciating years, The Rollalife Podcast trio has endured, survived, and has clawed their way back into the studio to bring you this very special return to form episode. From Corollas, Toyotas, Dragonball, obscure videogame references and much more of little consequence, this episode has everything you need to remember a much simpler and innocent time in life. 

Brought to you by SWAMPAS, we talk about:
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
Names, and how our ancestors obtained them
... and much much more 

We promise to increase the car content in our next upcoming episode by at least 30% or your money back on your free trial of SWAMPAS.

15 Dragon Style (Brought to you by SWAMPAS)

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.

16 Down by the Creek (Feat. Ezekiel Lee)

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!

EP 17 | Let Them Come

Fan of AE86s or automobiles in general? Join Wes, Turtle, and Reyson as they explore the wonderful topic of “Rollalife”. We plan to give you a peek into the various lives and personal stories of drivers, builders, and car enthusiasts. Rollalife is an ever growing term, catch a ride in our passenger seats as we take this drive.

01 Pilot

Hedgehogs are fast and so aren’t corollas. On this episode Wes changes out his pan-difficult bar and tells us how he first got his corolla. We ask the question "what is a carguy?" We also tell you a lot about Sonic fan art and vocal fry for some reason.

02 Reyson the Hedgehog, Carhumans, The Origin of Wes

Booty, Beams, Beasts. They all start with “B” and so does butts and boners. This is a serious podcast. *Don’t worry, about 80% of this will be about Corollas*

03 Booty And The Beams

Ever wonder how it would feel like to sit around a fire pit with The Rollalife Podcast crew? Well.. get your marshmallows, wieners, and Susan Boyle manga! Let's burn things for fun.

03.5 Gather Around the Pit, Boys

2017 8/6  is coming up! Enjoy this extra long episode as we all take the journey to our chosen festivities. In this episode, we talk about how it is like being an American Corolla enthusiast visiting Japan.

04 The Ninth Floor

After a long hiatus, the Rollalife Podcast team is going to give you the episode you deserve. Here's to 86 day!

05 Corolla Ultimate Matsuri Spectacular

The cast describes a time when they were able to see a Black Limited AE86 in person. Scary stories are also told. Special thanks to Cedu for telling us a scary experience.

06 The Spooky One

BEWARE! AE86 Christmas is under siege by dastardly lowlife car thief scum that strives to ruin our car human holiday season. In this very special Holiday Christmas episode, we step into the mind of the car thieves that have hit the bay area, and give actual helpful tips on how to not get your car stolen! In addition we cover the classic holiday topics such as: What if Michael Jackson was a car guy drifter? The value of a Toyota CHR, a serious discussion on 3rd brake lights, and how Turtle and Wes shared a precious moment on the touge. Join us for our year end episode, pop open that fizzy drink of choice of yours, and stare at your car out the window because the second walk away from it, it will be stolen.

07 Michael Jackson: Moon Drifter

Wait no more! After a long long break we have finally emerged to start our summer season of episodes! In the time that we have been gone, multiple happenings have occurred like: Wes keeps getting sick, Turtle has a double entendre-fest with his distributor rebuild, and Reyson has been alive. In this lighter hearted episode Turtle tells us his saga of one man and a distributor rebuild, we fondly remember our best Toys R Us memories, and figure out what cars everyone from 80's cartoon nostagia land would be driving to a hot 80's car meet!

08 Donuts for Megatron

09 Who's a Bad Boy?

In this classic sitdown The Rollalife Podcast episode, we balk about the boiling hot podcast studio about our favorite annoying California registration requirement: CA Smog! We drop some tips on how to pass it, Turtle's current woes with passing, and the frustrations of having to deal with it every two years. Wes also relives his love for Austin Powers, we talk about our "Someday" builds, Toyota winning LeMans, and much much more!

10 The Californication of Smog

We're Back! After an emotionally long hiatus we finally got back together to deliver you a one hour and 22 minute Car Guy conversation powered by our feelings, nostalgia, and not sponsored by any of these brands. 

Quik-Latch
Aerospace 303
Watanabe
Dunlop 
Yokohama
Sparco
Continental
TechnoToyTuning
Power A
Overdrive (2018)
BioBidet

Wes bought some wheels, Turtle got a new jacket (as we all did) and Reyson also drops some great suspension theory as he is now officially working on a Formula SAE car. So lets get technical and feel some feels together!

11 The Feels Podcast

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

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!

12 Welcome... to Toyota Park

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!

13 Wabi Sabi: The Joy of Fixing Broken Corolla

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!
