Playing Hooky Podcast

Round three of our Las Vegas trip brings us to Cheeseburger Day! Formerly known as hamburger day, we got to 5 of the most popular burger chains to settle once and for all which place has the best meal. We don’t suspect you’ll share our opinions, even if they are utterly definitive and utterly indisputable. In this podcast, we try Whataburger, In-N-Out Burger, Shake Shake, Smashburger, and 5 Guys.

Dang, y’all! We got super busy and I never got this podcast up. Sorry about that! Anyways, we’re back to talk about part two of our Vegas trip, and what a trip it was! So, we ate all over the place and did so many cool things, it’s hard to pinpoint specific things to focus on. We recorded this and a third episode while in Las Vegas and we intended to release them while we were there. However, we made the decision together to hold these remaining podcasts back UNTIL we got home after we watched Don't F**k With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer. Seriously, it’s incredibly creepy. The internet is INCREDIBLY CREEPY. Don’t judge me.

Welcome back! We’re joining you from the road to talk about our December trip to Las Vegas! We’re currently living in Las Vegas, Nevada until the new year, 2020. In this episode, we talk a little bit about our four day road trip from Indianapolis to Vegas. Along the way, we drove through a bunch of states, ate at some crap restaurants, and drove into a horror movie.

Anyways, give it a listen! Next episode: Hamburgers?

Hello, everyone! Thanks for sticking with us while we got this episode recorded. No video this episode, so sorry about that. We will upload the podcast to YouTube though, in case that’s where you want to listen. In this episode, we celebrate our season 2 finale by having a conversation with our friends, Chance and Krista. If you’ve ever listened to the Nerd Words Podcast, you may remember them from past episodes. Anyways, we chat about gaming couples, and couples that don’t necessarily get the same level of enjoyment from gaming.

Thank you all for another year of listening and watching! We are about to take a long trip across the country, and might share some of the pictures and experiences with you next year! We will be back with brand new episodes in 2020!
