Episode 461: Life Is A Highway

This week Host Dave Bledsoe gets drunk at an East Village dive bar and takes a cab home and calls it his “Summer Road Trip”. On the show this week we scrape the bottom of the barrel for content and talk about how Dave’s family entertained him driving across the country in the 80’s. (Yeah, he really phoned it in. Again.)

Along the way we learn about Dave’s “adult” trip from coast to coast. (So many truck stops) Then we dive right into the history of the interstate system before we talk about the greatest roadside stop in America: Stuckey’s! (We TOLD you things that were on the content shelf were thin this week!) 

From there we weave our way through various roadside attractions, tourist traps and money grabs that make a cross-country road trip so incredible. From Tucumcari to Wall Drug we mention all the places you COULD visit and why you shouldn’t. So come for the world's largest ball of twine, stay for the birthplace of a fictional television character and hit the road with a fat, middle aged drunk man. (Virtually, of course, Dave doesn't have a license.) 

Our Sponsor this week is Rodney’s Roadside Retreat, where the fun isn’t! We open the show with this word from Stuckey’s and close with The Fiasco who want you to go on a little trip with them.
