You might know John Moltz as a person on the Internet. Many people do! However, he also appears in other guises, sometimes as a large, golden bull and others as a phalanx of beautiful swans! Usually, however, he appears as a guy working at a desk. Other important points that John Moltz would like to share:
- John Moltz is fluent in English and conversational in two other languages.
- John Moltz is the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs. He’s fast enough for you, old man.
- John Moltz is actually made up of thousands of smaller John Moltzes, all furiously working tiny little gears to keep the larger construct you know as “John Moltz” functioning.
- John Moltz is a little too comfortable talking about himself in the third person.
Jon Armstrong is a long time blogger at the barely alive Blurbomat, a UX/UI consultant, a web/business developer, a photographer and the impetus for this show. In a past life he executive produced a popular blog and ran the business. Yes, business. Turning This Car Around marks Armstrong’s first foray into podcasting.

Jon splits time between Brooklyn, New York and Salt Lake City, Utah. Armstrong has two wonderful and amazing biological children and two also wonderful almost-stepchildren.
Lex was traveling this week so we have a guest, one John Gruber. He's apparently some guy in the Internet.
Not coincidentally, this is our longest episode ever.
What was the deal with bearer bonds back in the 1980s movies? They were basically what every villain was after. In the upcoming SPECTRE, it's probably something else.
Don't take the kids to see American Sniper for the holidays. We talk again about our Frozen experiences.
A holiday trip to FAO Schwarz seems dicey but if you're in Manhattan how can you not? Also, Dylan's Candy Bar. Oh, man.
Playmobil has some great robbery sets that Gruber and Moltz speak highly of. Their kids might, too. Not sure.
Moltz's kid is getting a PC laptop for Christmas and Moltz is already having trouble with it.
Moltz wants to know if Jon's and Gruber's kids are getting his Minecraft book for Christmas.
Gruber's kid might be getting a Playstation 4 with LEGO Batman 3 and FIFA Soccer.
Jon's kids might be getting Minecraft for Playstation. One wants an Easy-Bake oven.
If you don't follow the Grubers on Twitter, they had an interesting time setting up their Christmas tree this year.
Moltz's tree contribution is putting up his Star Trek ornaments. He doesn't have this one but it's on his wish list.
