Jackie and Jon decide to take a walk.  Well, not a literal walk- a virtual exploration through Memphis, Tennessee.  They listen to the music, discuss civil rights, and learn about the “Piggly Wiggly”.  Drama ensues when they attempt to have a conversation about WiFi in a stadium and only one member of the show finds the subject interesting.
