In this episode, Shannon shares the true story of his solo cross-country trip during a time when he needed space, adventure, and a little bit of something new. From spontaneous stops to unexpected conversations, it’s a ride full of insight and local food. Then, in the No Idea segment, Shannon offers a playful PSA: How to Be a Good Passenger—because being in the passenger seat is more than just picking the music.

This is an episode for the restless, the curious, and anyone who’s ever just needed to get away.
