We wax poetic about the personal connections that handwritten letters foster, lamenting the lost art in our digital age. Amidst tales of our adventures, we also embrace the challenge of penning a Christmas letter that's a unique mix of fact and fun fiction. Imagine receiving a holiday update that actually makes you chuckle—our quirky attempt might just inspire you to do the same.

Craving something sweet? We've got the results from our movie theater candy poll where Reese's Pieces emerged as the reigning champion. Dive into a candy-centric discussion as Scott and I reveal our own sugary preferences and examine the curious draw of certain confections during travel. Our chat meanders from the perfect marriage of M&Ms and popcorn to puzzling over the namesake of Mike and Ikes. Plus, don't miss out on our rainy day journey to Bethesda, complete with an unexpected dose of turdish misadventure.

Ever find yourself chuckling in the aisles of Costco while scooping up free samples? That's the spirit we're channeling in our latest episode, where Scott and I, Andrew, take you along for a rollicking adventure through America's factories, from Tillamook Cheese to Jelly Belly, and even a Kona coffee farm. With our 32nd episode celebration, we're serving up a hearty thank-you to our listeners with a side of nostalgia and plenty of laughs. So, whether you're navigating the daily commute or looking for a light-hearted escape, let us be the soundtrack to your journey.

Remember the first time you felt the awe of history beneath your feet? Join us as we tread the solemn grounds of Gettysburg Battlefield, reflecting on the echoes of the past and the lessons they hold for our future. It's not all serious, though—expect a detour through the world's busiest Costco and a pit stop at Buc-ee's, where we marvel at the grandeur of oversized truck stops. Our conversation steers from the hilarity of redundant orange juice samples to the profound impact of walking where history was made.

Strap in and adjust your rearview mirrors—this episode isn't just a trip down memory lane; it's a front-row seat to some of America's most iconic sites and sounds. We weave together tales of the mundane, like Scott's beard origins, with the grandeur of historical sites and the offbeat charm of factory tours. No guest needed when you have the open road and stories that transform your errands into expeditions. So come laugh, remember, and maybe learn a thing or two about the art of the great American road trip with us.

Looking forward and seeing your best friend dangling your son off a chairlift is not the way we wanted to end our snowboarding trip, yet?????

This isn't just about the mishaps, though. We're talking about the kind of adventures that teach you to say 'yes' more often, like the time my son Isaac showed us his snowboarding chops before tangling with a ski lift. Between the tales of snowy escapades, we dish on our fast food favorites and Chipotle hacks—because, let's face it, who doesn't want to know how to get the best burrito bang for your buck? And if you're torn between Junior Mints and Reese's Pieces at the movie theater, we've got a debate that might just sway your loyalty.

But it's not all fun and fajitas; we also touch on the profound, like our visit to the National Civil War Museum that reshaped our perspective on history. From the sizzle of fajitas to the solemnity of museum halls, we're laying it all out. So grab your scooter mug (no judgment if you prefer a Red Solo Cup) and settle in for a chat that's as much about the past as it is about savoring the present.
