    What happens when two friends hit the road without a crucial RV feature? Join Scott Hawkins and Andrew Gaer as they recount their whimsical road trip escapades, which led them from Walmart parking lots to less-than-glamorous motels. From crafting a ridiculous song about a "pooper tank" explosion to dreaming up a stage musical with Lin-Manuel Miranda or AI, our tales are guaranteed to amuse. We'll share how our knack for funny tunes just might outshine our attempts at romantic songwriting, with plenty of laughs along the way.

    Venturing further, we chat about the surprising satisfaction found in being average—like mastering wakeboarding just enough to impress those who haven’t tried it. Society's obsession with comparing ourselves to the best often undermines our unique skills, and we discuss how recognizing our strengths can lead to fulfillment. And of course, our journey wouldn't be complete without a stop in San Antonio, where we reflect on the Alamo's storied past and soak up the enchanting charm of the Riverwalk. Get ready for an episode full of unexpected twists and thoughtful reflections.

    Ever find yourself longing for the carefree days of spontaneous road trips and the comforting tunes of college rock? Join me, Scott Hawkins, as I share a personal tale of a missed REM concert with my dad, which taught me that life's real treasures are found in shared moments rather than destinations. As we traverse through nostalgic memories on this Election Day 2024, I offer a gentle reminder that the spirit of resilience will carry us through any uncertainties, soothing our souls much like the melodies of REM and Counting Crows.

    Our adventure takes an unexpected turn to the vibrant streets of New Orleans, where the air is filled with the intoxicating smell of its culinary delights. Discover the genius behind Mardi Gras ladder seats and ponder their potential uses beyond parade season. Engage in our lighthearted debate over the best chicken sandwiches, where Popeyes' notorious mustard sauce and crispy offerings take center stage, all while savoring the unique rhythm and energy of this extraordinary city.

    As the night unfolds, let me whisk you away on a whimsical evening in the French Quarter, where jazz melodies and dollar shots create an enchanting backdrop. This episode is an invitation to embrace the unpredictable journey of life with laughter, enriched by the captivating tales of musical memories and the flavors of adventure.
