This week's monologue includes the story of a truck's rendezvous with a building in Boiling Springs, a tribute to the late great Johnny Majors, and a story from my first professional road trip. Then, Ben Perdue and I talk about a host of topics, including Holiday Inn parties, car maintenance, jamming at the lighthouse with John Blalock, and the famous Taco Bell incident of 2011. Barry Bradberry also joins the show to talk about how he parlayed a 90-day contract into a 45-year career, speeding through Whitsett in an Astro van, and asking for directions.
