Hot Rods, Muscle Cars, Early Hoonigan, Art and Design with Jon Chase & Scotto

Very Vehicular

Another highly-requested guest this week on VERY VEHICULAR, we’re happy to welcome Jon Chase! You probably know him from his Hoonigan days as a designer and the creative force behind much of the merchandise but there are depths to Jon that are revealed in this highly flowing and tangential conversation. If it’s one of those never-ending ADHD fever dreams you seek, you won’t be disappointed – you’ve been warned! It’s a masterpiece of the genre, even by Scotto’s standards. The guys manage to cover everything from seeking tangible offline experiences; to the scourge of AI (particularly choice language is used!) and of course, it would be remiss not to tell some never-heard war stories from the days of Power Tour. I’d say this episode has it all but they barely even got started: we’ll have to bring Jon back for part two! Enjoy.
