Backroads & Bonfires

Adam kicks off this episode of Backroads & Bonfires talking about his adventures at the Downtown Sioux Falls Burger Battle! The boys discuss the absurdity of The Dodgers and MLB contracts. Adam begins a segment of Where Are They Now that derails into discussing today’s movie & podcast climate. Burk’s perfect song. In the meat, Mm!, the boys reminisce on the era that was MTV. Adam starts with some MTV fun facts and moments before the guys rank their top 5 favorite MTV music videos from the glory days. The 90s quick hitter takes us back to Woodstock 99 and the most iconic music entrance to ever exist. 

Ped & Burk welcome back Brad Elder to the podcast. The boys let Brad know about their chance getting to be a WWE heel. Adam marveled at chef Jet Tila mastering his craft, which leads the boys to ponder on what they are experts at. We remember the first ever comedy specials we fell in love with. Another edition of Number Ones, and then Burk lists this week’s perfect song. In the Meat, Mm!, of the episode the boys pivot from a draft to a list of their all-time top 5 Italian dishes. In the 90’s quick hitter we close the show discussing our decked out cars from high school. Hut Hut! Love y’all. 

Ped & Burk are back together post holidays for an episode that brought us anxiety because of the prep of the Meat, Mm! But first, Adam wants people to stop making their parents drive to them for the holidays, and also might lose his marbles if people can’t be better clappers. Adam & Ryan strongly disagree on Acapella music. Adam shows off his new hotdog book and Burk gives us his perfect song before we dive into a MASSIVE topic. We each list our top 10 comedy movies of all-time in what was a painstaking process! We end with some classic jingles from the 90s. Hut Hut! Love y’all.

Join host Adam Pedersen for Backroads and Bonfire's first episode of 2026! Adam has decided that it is time to get some stuff off his chest, which, I guess, is every episode already? It is his first ever Festivus episode! Adam airs some grievances currently bothering him before moving on to a discussion about his observations from his most recent airport trip. C'mon people! As always, we take a trip down memory lane to close the show. Hut Hut! Love y'all.

Adam & the cuz Glizzy P bring the noise for this fun-packed episode! They re-live some of their favorite moments and memories from 2025 (barf drill anyone?) and what an exciting year it was! Adam shares the perfect song this week. In the Meat, Mm!, of the episode they discuss New Years Eve memories growing up, from Y2K to high school parties to an engagement! To close the show Elizabeth hosts the first edition of “Grocery Prices from the 90s”! Hut Hut! Love y’all. 

In this episode of Backroads & Bonfires, Adam & Ryan host another night of trivia at The Cobblestone Ballroom in Storm Lake, IA. You'll be able to listen along and play with us (minus a few picture/video categories)! The theme was Home Alone this year. We asked 40 Home Alone related questions and 40 miscellaneous Christmas questions as well of other categories! I think you will have a hoot listening along and testing your Christmas knowledge! Hut Hut. Love y'all.

Sconnie Jared joins the boys! But first, Adam had to navigate the Mission Impossible laser field to get to tonight’s recording. The boys reminisce on 2000s comedies and some comedy movie hypotheticals. Adam doesn’t understand people’s fear of geese, or why the heck people are driving farther than necessary! Jared updates the boys on how duck season went and how early ice fishing season has been. Burk tells us about his trip to dsm for a Home Alone screening with McCauley Culkin. In the Merry Meat, Mm!, of the show, the boys continue celebrating Christmas by listing their top 5 Christmas TV Episodes ever, before discussing the top gifts of our (my?) birth year. What a fun trip down memory lane! Hut Hut! Love y’all.

Ped, Burk and guest Grace open the show discussing a horrid Black Friday experience and people dumbly slipping on ice. Another fantastic Tik Tok video series has reached Adam’s algorithm, much to the chagrin of Ryan. Burk brings us his perfect song of the week and back by popular demand, THE ROTTEN TOMATOES GAME!! In the Meat, Mm!, we celebrate the Christmas season by reading real and fake Hallmark movie plots and seeing if Grace can guess correctly. We end with fondly remembering some 90’s Christmas gifts. Hut Hut! Love y’all. 

Adam welcomes back Glizzy and her cousin, first time guest, Lisa! We dive right in with Adam & Lisa talking about being the youngest sibling and also teacher’s kids. We get into Lisa’s love of NKOTB and a boy band discussion. In the meat, Mm!, it’s all about being a 90’s girl! From all the teen magazines and trends, to heart throbs to our Mt Rushmore of celeb crushes growing up. We end the show with a kick-off to Christmas! Remembering the Christmas meals growing up, dressing up and making movies with cousins and what present we wanted the most! Love y’all. Hut Hut

Ped & Burk kick off the episode with a discussion of what they think the best month is. The boys ponder their 40th birthdays. Where has the time gone? Parking at a gas station will reveal a person's entire character. Don't sleep on Dairy Queen burgers. We list our perfect Thanksgiving plates, and then, in some foreshadowing, it's Burk's perfect song. For the MEAT, Mm!, it's a massive topic we've been holding onto: Our all-time top ten movies! A nearly impossible task! We get country to end the show. Hut Hut! Love y'all.
