Now, I know what you're thinking: "John doesn't sound like John this week." And that's because this week, he's not! Yes, that's right, while John is on paternity leave after the birth of his son, Lucas is gonna bring a whole cast of characters to fill his microphone slot and keep the Cars content coming in a special mini-series we're calling "Side Roads".

And first to the starting line is Rob Miller, friend of Lucas and TikTok whiz kid. And folks, if you were worried it was gonna get less weird while John was out, I've got good news for you, and it's this episode that Rob has been requesting since the inception of the podcast.
