Summary
Jonny has been listening to country music while Richard encountered some annoying aeroplanes. Also in this episode, drinking whisky like someone in a movie, why Chinooks are like kits with two bass drums, a confusion about George Benson's bed shop, why you never see people mooning or sitting backwards on kitchen chairs any more, and a discussion about the Ford F-150 Lightning with its amazing Pac-Man front boot. Plus, unimaginative restomods, an old person in an Integra Type R, the dream of an EV Matra Rancho, and the despair of 1980s Euro car designers when asked to do the US-spec detailing. Oh, and an inordinate amount of chat about David Coverdale including his comical Whitesnake videos, his incredible air-brake shirts, his taste in cars, and why his shoes are like a fourth generation Pontiac Firebird.

| 0:00.0 | I'm Richard Porter, I'm Johnny Smith, and this is Smith & Sniff a podcast in which two friends talk about cars and this week the connotations of country music. |
| 0:13.0 | I am sitting in our spare room and it's warm outside, but I have all the windows closed to preserve the audio quality for which Smith & Sniff is not known. |
| 0:24.0 | Yes. |
| 0:25.0 | And I'm doubly suffering because I got up this morning and in a fit of enthusiasm despite the warm weather I went for a run. |
| 0:36.0 | Oh well done you. |
| 0:37.0 | I've been fighting motivation on that front. |
| 0:40.0 | I surprised myself, if I'm honest, just to the cheeky 5K and it was a sweaty one. |
| 0:47.0 | Was it pulling back? |
| 0:48.0 | Not particularly pulling back. |
| 0:50.0 | Just to clear your pollen filter out. |
| 0:52.0 | No. |
| 0:53.0 | Which is a Kenyan nose blow in the back garden where you just hold one nostril and you just blast it. |
| 1:00.0 | I don't even if I'm out in Parkland and there's no one around. |
| 1:05.0 | I'm very dubious about doing that these days because I feel like if someone spots you they'll have a right go at you because of COVID. |
| 1:12.0 | What if you're in the middle of nowhere and you do a Kenyan nose blow? |
| 1:15.0 | Well I'm never really in the middle of nowhere because I live in the city but no. |
| 1:21.0 | So the problem I've got today, I've got an honesty in a really, really hot room in the roof of my house, is I went for a run and then I got home and I realized I'd got less than 15 minutes till I had to be on a call. |
| 1:36.0 | There was just a short call and it had to be a short call because then I'm talking to you which is what I'm doing now obviously. |
| 1:41.0 | Yes. |
| 1:42.0 | And the shower didn't take as fans of Seinfeld will know that episode but George has a shower and it doesn't take and he's still sweaty. |
