Yeehaw! Katie lets everyone know Jordan has pronounced “Pendleton” incorrectly for his entire life and Jordan argues there shouldn’t be a silent “D” in words.
Katie’s grandfather was born in Pendleton, and the duo discuss wandering around one of her ancestral homelands with her grandparents in their 90s. Jordan is disturbed by a broken weather widget on Travel Pendleton’s website and Katie is excited about a museum that chronicles western expansionism from the perspective of the Native people of the area.
Katie and Jordan spent their very last night on their two-month road trip across the continent in Pendleton and think the Old Town was way better than they remember it being and Jordan drops a surprising Pendleton Woolen Mills connection-bomb on Katie at the end of the show.
