Buckle up for the Road Trip Edition of Wise_N_Nerdy! Charles just got back from a whirlwind patient transport to DC and Richmond, and he’s joined by Philip D. Keating (a.k.a. The Imaginary Nomad) for a wild ride filled with road trip memories, questionable food choices, and way too many Slurpees vs. cigarettes debates. From Nobel Prizes to GWAR bars, this episode swerves between heartfelt nostalgia and absolute chaos.
You’ll hear about Taco Bell gone wrong, concerts that ended in cheesesteak hustles, and five-seat driving rotations that no one should ever attempt (seriously, don’t). It’s part comedy, part confession, and all the reasons why road trips never go quite the way you planned. Whether you love plotting out itineraries or just gunning it until the gas light dings, this one will make you rethink your travel style.
Don’t overplan road trips — leave room for randomness and unexpected stops.
Always pack extra snacks (jerky, fudge, Slurpees, or broccoli…your choice).
Build a road trip playlist that can survive the miles (and friends’ weird tastes).
Set expectations with travel buddies — who’s driving, who’s picking food stops, who’s holding the Doritos bag.
Remember: the journey is the story — sometimes the detours make the best memories.
"Sometimes it’s not the long road trips that have the greatest stories—it’s the chaos along the way." — Philip D. Keating
