  • #035 - GUM DISEASE

    In this episode, we dive into the hilarious and wild tale of a biker dad who shares a creative, over-the-top story with his son about the dangers of swallowing bubble gum. With humor and absurdity, he recounts an unforgettable misadventure involving bubble gum, massive turds, and explosive farts, all in the name of teaching his kid a life lesson. It's a laugh-out-loud, unconventional story about fatherhood, responsibility, and the lengths some dads will go to make a point!

  • #034 - BROTHERHOOD OF THE WHITE LINE

    In this episode, we journey into the lives of trucker/bikers—men who merge the worlds of trucking and motorcycling, chasing freedom on the open road. From long-haul drives to Harley rides, these modern nomads thrive on the power and independence their machines provide. We'll uncover why the call of the highway never stops, even after the haul is done. As one trucker put it, "I get on my bike and ride before I go home. It releases a lot of tension I build up when I’m driving. Hell, sometimes I don’t even make it home at all." Tune in to discover what fuels these road warriors as they trade 18 wheels for two.
