Episode 22: We welcome a lively group of LSU interns working on Capitol Hill for a spirited ride through the heart of Washington, DC. What starts as a fun exchange about college rivalries, Capitol Hill experiences, and insider DC tips quickly turns into a deeper cultural conversation—highlighting the stark contrast between Southern hospitality and the fast-paced attitude of the nation’s capital.
Along the way, we revisit the legendary “Susan’s Husband” episode, giving it fresh context as our Louisiana guests showcase what real rideshare etiquette looks like. From nightlife gems to good manners in the backseat, this episode is equal parts humor, insight, and Southern charm. Buckle up—Let's Drive!
