If you’ve ever been curious about what happens when you mix humor with travel, this episode is your ticket to finding out. Plus, get ready for a sneak peek into the intern opportunity that could have you joining the Kings of the Road team!
As boredom hit an all-time high on Texas highways, a watch flew out the window in a moment of slap-happy hilarity, capturing the essence of friendship and travel mischief. Scott and Andrew reminisce about the differences between motels and hotels, dive into 90s hip-hop nostalgia, and even pitch the hilariously imaginary "Luda crisps" cereal. El Paso's secret charm, mayoral exchanges with Juarez, and some unconventional travel ideas add to the tapestry of their cross-country shenanigans. If you think you know road trips, you haven’t encountered one quite like this.
The bittersweet decision to return home early sets the stage for a tantalizing look into Season Two, filled with unexpected twists and intriguing new topics. Scott and Andrew thank their listeners for a thrilling season and promise that the next chapter will continue to surprise and entertain. Buckle up for the ride, as the Kings of the Road are just getting started!

I don't know, I would love tojust be a part of this
incredible my favorite podcast,america's favorite podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
America's favorite traveling two guys on a road
podcast.
In 2004, with the ladies wonderhome podcast, ranked number one
in that category.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Ranked number one undisputed by a long shot
champion.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Okay, so San Antonio, riverwalk, alamo, those things.
Then you hit the part of Texaswhere the map turns brown, brown
, brown town.
You are basically what is browntown?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I mean whatever you want it to be, there was a great
show that I I watched.
There's like 14 seasons of it.
It's called alaskan bush peopleno, I'm recommending seasons of
that.
Yeah, there are 14 seasonsalaska bush people heard of this
.
It's uh, I don't know.
It's on like discovery channelor something like that, but love
it.
It's.
(03:52):
This family, that kind of livesin alaska and you just watch
them and they're very wild andthey call themselves the wolf
pack, but their last name isbrown, so they create brown town
oh, which is their little offthe grid, off the grid town in
chichikov island, alaska youreally know a lot about this.
I watched 14 seasons of thisshow you watched them all?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
yes, I love it.
I love it.
I have not seen one episode ofthis show, but um brown town,
we're brown town we're drivingthrough brown town and for all
of those who listeners were onthe east coast those of us on
the west coast there's a lot ofdesert and a lot of non-blooming
(04:37):
plants.
Uh, desert foil foliage is uhvery like low to the ground and
um, prickly, and basically itstarts in the middle of texas
and it's consistent until youhit the pacific ocean.
Yeah, it feels the same thewhole way so there was a church
(05:02):
a church guy who I knew inBirmingham and he actually meant
to go to the church.
There was two churches andthere's one on the right, the
Presbyterian Church, and thenwe're the left, and the first
time I went to church heaccidentally turned left,
thinking we're the PresbyterianChurch.
So he knew the Presbyteriansand he shows up and he's like,
uh, but then he liked us, so hestayed for a couple of years and
(05:30):
so it was a nice yeah, it was anice, uh, unexpected turn.
But he was somebody whoactually crossed over the border
illegally down by where Emily's, from the El Centro area, and
he was telling me the storyabout it all and then he, he
said something that I had neverthought about, he's like, until
he got to new Orleans.
He's like this is not America,because he just thought of it as
like North Mexico, it's alldirt, it's all just cactus.
And he's like what the Americahe sees on TV is like woods and
(05:52):
green and like New York, law andorder, right.
And I was like, oh, that'sfunny.
So that's why he just went toBirmingham.
He's like, ah, finally, it'sAmerica, it's not just North
Mexico, oh man.
I had never thought of that, butI thought that was pretty good
have you ever noticed?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
this is so weird.
But when you're traveling fromthe la area east into arizona.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yep, you know what I'm gonna say yes, hit me, you
tell me, let's see if it's thesame thing it is shocking
because I think this is whatyou're going to say and it's
shockingly true that until youhit the border of Arizona, there
are no cactus.
Yes, yes, it's the weirdestthing, and it's almost.
(06:37):
It's like the Arizonians areeither planting, like derouting,
the cactuses in California, orelse are just filling up the
border of Arizona because you'relike looking boom.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
All they thought of is show up Weird.
I know it is so weird.
Yeah, it's no cactus, no cactus, no cactus.
Welcome to Arizona.
Oh, look a cactus.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
What Exactly what this is.
The reason I knew this isbecause this is one of those
things that, when you're sittingin an rv for many, many years
and been friends for so long,we've basically covered most
topics, I think oh, so you thinkwe have talked about this
before, I suppose.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I suppose this is possible it's a little little
neuron in my brain that went oh,he's going with a no tactics
thought right now I have a wholesection in my brain devoted to
conversations with scott yes,well, it's all.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
It's a spider web that goes throughout, and most
of them circle back to whatwormholes?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
yeah, I, I just thought of something that was
kind of funny my, my youngest,who just turned eight.
She was, we were eating dinnerthe other day and she's like, oh
, I'm so full.
She goes, but I've got thislittle VIP room in my stomach
that's reserved just for dessertand that has room in it, and
we're like what?
But?
(07:55):
yeah, so I've got a little VIProom of Scott and Andrew
conversations.
A lot of that is wormholes.
A lot of it's wormholes, whichI guess is kind of connected to
other parts of my brain viawormholes.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Anyway, let's get back on track.
I actually wanted to just do apause and say well done for VIP.
Part of my stomach that'sawesome, that was good, right.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, that was hilarious.
That made us both pause andlaugh and she's like yeah, what
she's like.
I've known that for years.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
It's a perfect definition of what it is right.
That's exactly, and we all knowthat.
Can I eat more cucumbers?
Oh no, but that pie, it's goingdown.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, the club is packed, but there's a special
room in the back just reservedfor all the good stuff, what
about the kind of childhood yourchild has had?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
How many clubs has?
She been to.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
You say that as if you've never taken your kids to
the club Come on this is fairthe club.
Down the street from our house,we have this big nondescript
very square building called.
Zalos.
If you ever exit Glassell offthe 91, take a look at Zalos,
(09:11):
and if you get too tired todrive home, there's an Embassy
Suites just up the street.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I love Embassy.
Suites.
That's my favorite hotel by far.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
No sorry.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Really.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
No, for sure.
Because it's like two rooms inone or the atrium.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
No, oh, the happy hour.
Happy hour and the freebreakfast with omelets.
You start off the morning freebreakfast.
They have an omelet bar guy.
They're making omelets in theatrium yeah like seems like
cheating, doesn't it?
what?
What better life is this thanfive minutes happy hour and free
breakfast in the morning andthen you have two rooms?
I also and this is a little bitof the silver spoon I grew up
(09:45):
with my mouth, I suppose Ilegitimately didn't know that
there were other hotels exceptembassy suites until some later
point in my life, because my dadtraveled so much and he always
would for work would say likeembassy suites.
We had so many points built upso we could just stay because it
was like that's good, like what?
(10:08):
what is this one room?
No breakfast.
Where's the other room?
Where am I supposed to get mybreakfast?
Walk to the waffle house, oh,scramble dice.
Chunt, yes, please.
Um, yeah, no, this is great.
I, the ip section of yourstomach is like that's the exact
right definition.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I, I can't think of trying to think back to a time
that I stayed at the embassysuites.
It's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's sad you should go to that I'm going to take
that as a uh, just staychallenge.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Next time I go somewhere for work and
everybody's like we're stayingat the Fairmont Oregon, I'm like
that's cool, I'm going to staynext to the freeway at the
embassy suites and then I'll seeyou after breakfast.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, your omelet, have your little biscuit Walk up
full.
They're like what'd you guys dofor breakfast?
I had some, yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Who's going to get the thumbs up on their expense
report this month?
Huh, exactly.
Hey way to be frugal AndrewTing Like and I got two rooms
for that price.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Exactly A little front room.
I had a room to type in With awindow that looks out to like
inside Sort of weird.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Exactly Now you're talking hotels.
This is the way hotels aresupposed to be.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
So we show up in El Paso, speaking of hotels, and we
go into El Paso and we check inand it's nighttime it's dark.
So we had left San Antonioduring the day we haul.
Nighttime it's dark, so we hadleft san antonio during the day.
We hauled over the desert.
We're driving, it's night.
We show up, we find this littlehotel that I'm sure linda gare
shout out when they are, uh,found for us.
And we start checking in andthe guy this is such a great
(11:41):
memory from this, from the roadtrip the guy looked at us and
he's like hey, you ever been toel paso before?
and you and I are both like nowe haven't, and he's like 27th
largest city in america.
We're like, oh really, I'm notso sure, I'm not sure how the
number correct there.
He's just best kept exactlyyeah best kept secret in america
(12:05):
also.
We're like really wow, thanks,buddy, like he was meanwhile in
the background.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I don't know if that comes across the microphone, but
that is my attempt at gunshotsin the distance whoa, whoa, what
was?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
excuse me, sir, what's that?
Backfires, we're pretty surethe backfires, and we're like,
oh well, thanks, he loves, he is, he loves, he is El Paso.
This wasn't something that wehad to bring up, he just
naturally bubbled up love of ElPaso, right.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I wonder if he started with what brings you to
this wonderful town of El Pasoand we said we are traveling
around the country and that iswhy he?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
that seems like a likely reason, but maybe he just
loved it and told everybodyregardless he has a hotel, like
he just built a hotel, so he'salways ready to tell you yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I don't think it was a hotel, if that makes sense.
Yeah, I think it's.
I think it was more of a motel.
If that makes sense.
Yeah, I think it's more of amotel.
I don't remember it being nice,I remember it being like a
motor lodge.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
You missed the moment though.
Oh shoot, what was the moment?
Motel, Motel.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Holiday Embassy.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Suites.
Say what?
Yeah, dude, I lobbed that toyou too.
Sorry, I thought you were goingto hit it.
Shout out to our friend stephfry.
I think of that.
I think I've heard when we saythat I think you guys did that,
like your sunshine opening orsomething could have?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
well, probably not.
I don't think that would havebeen appropriate for the
christian camp to sing justthose words.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It was just those words.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It wasn't the whole thing oh, oh, right, okay, I
don't know anytime.
I think about like 90s hip-hopand there's like hotel.
I'm like emphasis on the hoethey were into the word hoe in
the 90s am I right?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
they were, yeah, yeah , what's that more?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
ludicrous song that was oh, he's so fun, oh, it's
something about going to thehotel, hotel, everybody like,
everybody Like, never mind.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
But Ludacris, like because he busts into this part
out, he busts into Usher,doesn't he bust into?
Like Justin Bieber too, thebaby is that Ludacris?
I just saw Luda.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Listen, this is Luda play.
Or is playing at the Great Parkin Irvine coming up, which is
the most gangsta of all placesyou could possibly play at the
Great Park in Irvine, california.
So I'm like babe Luda's playingat Five Points Arena.
(14:43):
I don't know.
This is great news and she'slike you need to go, andrew, and
this is your chance to finallytell them about your cereal idea
and I'm like my cereal idea.
I had totally forgotten I wasgoing to pitch Luda crisps.
Oh, that is good Like, maybenot as good as an omelet, but
like what?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
a way to start your day with some Luda crisps, the
embassy sweets.
Oh man, in one of those tubeswhere you twist the thing and it
comes into your bowl and itbreaks like 10 of them every
time you twist it, but it'sworth it, oh man charms are
always sitting there, ludicrispsare you going crisps?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
um, no, I.
There's a zero percent chance.
You know what maybe we should?
That would be kind of fun.
I'm gonna look into it.
Yeah, I might go see how muchtickets are.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
If there are a couple of kids round us up.
Yeah, oh yeah, motel.
Yeah, it's probably not evenludicrous.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Um, that's probably so.
Anyway, this guy yeah, he'stelling us all about the best
kept secret in America El Paso.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
We wake up in the morning and we look around the
best-temped secret in America?
We're like, well, he was lying.
This is not the best-tempedsecret in America.
We can just quickly get out ofthis town because there is no
use for this anymore.
And we slept and we laughed.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
You can see Juarez, mexico, from El Paso.
That's nice you can hear Juarez.
Mexico, or the gunshots comingfrom Juarez, mexico.
Yes, I think was it him whotold us about the arrangement
that the mayor of Juarez and ElPaso have, where they basically
(16:24):
meet on the bridge every sooften and they round up the
criminals, hand each other tothe people.
And exchange them.
They're like oh, we found theseguys from juarez here you go
and they're like oh we foundthese, what, yeah?
and they just they're like ohokay, here's what, yep, all
right, yep, yep, like that'sjust, that's just how it goes oh
boy, in the in the sistercities of juarez and el paso.
(16:45):
El paso and the 10 freeway goesright along the border?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, it does, and actually, to be fair, it is.
And I did this drive not thatlong ago I mean eight years when
I moved back.
The mountains are kind ofpretty off in the distance,
Because I was thinking aboutthis as I was driving through
and I was like, okay, that'skind of pretty out there.
There's some pretty ruggedmountains and you're driving and
there that is the area wherethere's like no speed limits too
(17:11):
.
It's just like 85, becausethere is nothing out there.
So it's just like go as fast asyou can, we're okay with that
so this was the place.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
So there was a lot of boredom and I don't know
exactly where this, this.
I'm pretty sure this thing thatI'm about to say took place in
el paso.
So there was a lot of boredomand I don't know exactly where
this this.
I'm pretty sure this thing thatI'm about to say took place in
El Paso, slightly outside of it,I think it was after we left.
Okay, and I remember you'redriving, yeah, and we're just
like gosh it is so boringdriving through Texas and you
(17:47):
looked at your watch and itstopped like it had stopped
working, and you like tapped itor whatever, and you like took
it off your wrist and then youjust threw it out the window,
and I don't know why, but justthe way in which you did it, I
(18:09):
probably laughed for 100 milesbecause it was just so funny.
Zero recollection of that.
That's great, though I think itwas like we were just so slap
happy of just driving deadstraight for the day before from
San Antonio to El Paso.
I mean, we could see El Pasofrom San Antonio, but it took us
(18:29):
eight hours to get there RightWest.
That's basically what goingwest on the 10 is I?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
also think.
I don't think.
Yeah, we said we don't have a10 in Tallahassee probably, and
just did that the rest of theway, yeah, and I don't think we
talked about the fact that oneof the episodes has probably
been on the last one.
We should have that, becausethe 10 just zipped through
mississippi and alabama, thebottom of them.
It was one of those stateswhere you and I didn't talk to
each other.
(18:54):
That's right, and I was like inthe back, you in the front, or
maybe it was the opposite, and Ithink we realized like at some
point, like oh, if we just don'tspeak, kind of like when you
were in the rv for 24 hours, yes, you, just if we don't talk the
rest, then we'll be able to saywe didn't speak a whole state.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
So go with me here.
This may not be the real story,but let's just say this is the
real story, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I took a nap.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
The previous part.
Yeah, I took a nap as we wereheading from Tallahassee through
Florida.
Sure, you did, of course youdid, I was asleep.
Yes, yes through the entiretyof Mississippi, nice.
But maybe I woke up right atthe end of Mississippi.
Okay, Maybe I was about to saysomething and you just signal to
me don't say a word no, butthen I would talk.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
So I'd say, don't speak.
You know Netterson reference.
But you would have just yeah,no doubt it's a good one.
No, I could also if.
But you would have just yeah,no doubt it's a good one.
No, I could also.
If you were sitting there, thenI just put my finger on your
lips no, no, no, no, no, yeah,the classic moment Don't speak
(20:02):
and our spirits, which werekindled intertwined understood
without words.
We could communicate withoutwords.
At that point we were probablysounds like a bad novel.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I'm like I get what you're saying, but I didn't say
that out loud.
That was in my brain.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
We're in Mississippi so what we did was we left El
Paso, we got to Phoenix, whichis a long drive of nothing from
Phoenix.
Then we decided we could eitherstay with my cousins or just
get home.
And yeah, we I don't think wereally had made up our mind yet
(20:39):
we were still like, well, whatare we gonna do?
And we got to phoenix and wehad dinner with my cousins,
which felt like enough of abreak, I think, for both, both
of us.
Yeah, yeah, we're like, let'sjust keep going.
Yeah, let's just get home.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
At this point we're six hours out we're like we can
just do it, let's just, let'sjust do it.
But before but before we leavePhoenix, just just some more
about the interstate 10 and thedesert.
I, the interstate 10 and thedesert.
(21:15):
I recall I think there's a.
I was looking through thepictures.
I thought there's a picture ofyou, but maybe it was of me just
sitting in the driver's seatbut with my arms folded on my
chest, like not even holding thesteering wheel.
You, if you put your vehicle incruise control yes, you didn't
have to be in the driver's seatanymore you could go make a
sandwich I think we talked about.
(21:36):
Should we just try?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
it or switch that would have been fun.
We should have done that.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
We might not have, there would have been, we would
have been fine.
Actually, that's what I mean.
We would have been fine.
Well, we did talk about insouth dakota.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
We talked about just tying something to the steering
wheel was that in south dakotaokay?
Yeah, but we could have justabsolutely switched and that
would have been a really againthese things.
Another thing that we talkedabout doing that we didn't do
was just driving through onestate in our underpants because
we were just like we could, justwe could still make that happen
.
That's actually.
It has happened multiple timesfor me already, but just kidding
(22:14):
, no but, I do, I agree with you.
Um, so, in, in slightly adjacentnews, there's been a horse that
has entered my life.
Now we, we have a horse aroundhere, slightly adjacent.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Well, because, hold on, I'm because hold on, I'm
going to circle it.
Make this one connect.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I got my pastor hat on, I'm going to circle it in,
and so I've been learning horseythings.
Okay, one of the horsey thingsI've been learning is that you
do not let a horse, when they'regoing back to their home, to
their stable, you do not letthem run.
They have to walk back to theirhome, to their stable.
You do not let them run.
They have to walk back to thestable, or else they're called
(22:54):
barn sour, that they'll run homeBecause they just want to be
home, because they're lazy, theywant to be home so bad, so
they'll start to just take offand they won't listen to you and
so you have to.
On your way home they can run tothe arena.
Of course we have Running Bear.
He's a little bit older and hehas his little path to the arena
.
There's some hills and recentlyhe's been on the path trying to
(23:15):
turn around, like, ah, I'm goodI did not go, because at the
arena he knows he has to run anddo things there and he's like
back there, I just stand around,I don't do anything.
It's like on the way to the gymright For us.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
We're like.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I could just not go.
Oh look, a Starbucks.
Oh look.
So you can't let they're asmart horse.
I guess they're.
They're not very smart, but insome ways they are.
You can't let them run homebecause they'll just take off.
This is what we were doing.
We're at Phoenix and we're likewe just got.
We just let's just keep going.
(23:48):
It's not like once you get thetaste of being that close to
home, like one night in Phoenixfelt bad.
Yeah, don't you think?

I then drove to my parents'house and the RV was there.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Wow, I think you're right.
And what?
A strange thing to say goodbyeafter all these, after all of
these wonderful moments in mylife.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
I don't think our parents knew we were coming home
that day.
I think they thought we werecoming home the next day,
because we thought that too.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Oh, we must've gotten home very late.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
It was very late.
It was, yeah, it was very late.
Yeah, again, we had dinner inPhoenix, yep, and then we just
rolled into town and I said,okay, I guess I'll see you
tomorrow where you can get yourstuff out of the motorhome.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, I think I just like wenthome and went to sleep and then,
yeah, we must have saw eachother the next day.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
We're not going to unpack it all at that moment.
Right, right, yeah, oh, mygoodness Speaking of unpacking
it all.

successful.

Hockey stick shape.
Here it comes, yep, yep, we'regoing to flat, but they see the
growth potential, yeah, like arocket.

and it's always sort of weirdwhen things come to an end and
we just rolled in in the coverof darkness at night and just

incredible my favorite podcast,america's favorite podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
America's favorite traveling two guys on a road
podcast.
In 2004, with the ladies wonderhome podcast, ranked number one
in that category.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Ranked number one undisputed by a long shot
champion.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Okay, so San Antonio, riverwalk, alamo, those things.
Then you hit the part of Texaswhere the map turns brown, brown
, brown town.
You are basically what is browntown?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I mean whatever you want it to be, there was a great
show that I I watched.
There's like 14 seasons of it.
It's called alaskan bush peopleno, I'm recommending seasons of
that.
Yeah, there are 14 seasonsalaska bush people heard of this
.
It's uh, I don't know.
It's on like discovery channelor something like that, but love
it.
It's.
(03:52):
This family, that kind of livesin alaska and you just watch
them and they're very wild andthey call themselves the wolf
pack, but their last name isbrown, so they create brown town
oh, which is their little offthe grid, off the grid town in
chichikov island, alaska youreally know a lot about this.
I watched 14 seasons of thisshow you watched them all?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
yes, I love it.
I love it.
I have not seen one episode ofthis show, but um brown town,
we're brown town we're drivingthrough brown town and for all
of those who listeners were onthe east coast those of us on
the west coast there's a lot ofdesert and a lot of non-blooming
(04:37):
plants.
Uh, desert foil foliage is uhvery like low to the ground and
um, prickly, and basically itstarts in the middle of texas
and it's consistent until youhit the pacific ocean.
Yeah, it feels the same thewhole way so there was a church
(05:02):
a church guy who I knew inBirmingham and he actually meant
to go to the church.
There was two churches andthere's one on the right, the
Presbyterian Church, and thenwe're the left, and the first
time I went to church heaccidentally turned left,
thinking we're the PresbyterianChurch.
So he knew the Presbyteriansand he shows up and he's like,
uh, but then he liked us, so hestayed for a couple of years and
(05:30):
so it was a nice yeah, it was anice, uh, unexpected turn.
But he was somebody whoactually crossed over the border
illegally down by where Emily's, from the El Centro area, and
he was telling me the storyabout it all and then he, he
said something that I had neverthought about, he's like, until
he got to new Orleans.
He's like this is not America,because he just thought of it as
like North Mexico, it's alldirt, it's all just cactus.
And he's like what the Americahe sees on TV is like woods and
(05:52):
green and like New York, law andorder, right.
And I was like, oh, that'sfunny.
So that's why he just went toBirmingham.
He's like, ah, finally, it'sAmerica, it's not just North
Mexico, oh man.
I had never thought of that, butI thought that was pretty good
have you ever noticed?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
this is so weird.
But when you're traveling fromthe la area east into arizona.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yep, you know what I'm gonna say yes, hit me, you
tell me, let's see if it's thesame thing it is shocking
because I think this is whatyou're going to say and it's
shockingly true that until youhit the border of Arizona, there
are no cactus.
Yes, yes, it's the weirdestthing, and it's almost.
(06:37):
It's like the Arizonians areeither planting, like derouting,
the cactuses in California, orelse are just filling up the
border of Arizona because you'relike looking boom.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
All they thought of is show up Weird.
I know it is so weird.
Yeah, it's no cactus, no cactus, no cactus.
Welcome to Arizona.
Oh, look a cactus.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
What Exactly what this is.
The reason I knew this isbecause this is one of those
things that, when you're sittingin an rv for many, many years
and been friends for so long,we've basically covered most
topics, I think oh, so you thinkwe have talked about this
before, I suppose.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I suppose this is possible it's a little little
neuron in my brain that went oh,he's going with a no tactics
thought right now I have a wholesection in my brain devoted to
conversations with scott yes,well, it's all.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
It's a spider web that goes throughout, and most
of them circle back to whatwormholes?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
yeah, I, I just thought of something that was
kind of funny my, my youngest,who just turned eight.
She was, we were eating dinnerthe other day and she's like, oh
, I'm so full.
She goes, but I've got thislittle VIP room in my stomach
that's reserved just for dessertand that has room in it, and
we're like what?
But?
(07:55):
yeah, so I've got a little VIProom of Scott and Andrew
conversations.
A lot of that is wormholes.
A lot of it's wormholes, whichI guess is kind of connected to
other parts of my brain viawormholes.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Anyway, let's get back on track.
I actually wanted to just do apause and say well done for VIP.
Part of my stomach that'sawesome, that was good, right.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, that was hilarious.
That made us both pause andlaugh and she's like yeah, what
she's like.
I've known that for years.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
It's a perfect definition of what it is right.
That's exactly, and we all knowthat.
Can I eat more cucumbers?
Oh no, but that pie, it's goingdown.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, the club is packed, but there's a special
room in the back just reservedfor all the good stuff, what
about the kind of childhood yourchild has had?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
How many clubs has?
She been to.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
You say that as if you've never taken your kids to
the club Come on this is fairthe club.
Down the street from our house,we have this big nondescript
very square building called.
Zalos.
If you ever exit Glassell offthe 91, take a look at Zalos,
(09:11):
and if you get too tired todrive home, there's an Embassy
Suites just up the street.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I love Embassy.
Suites.
That's my favorite hotel by far.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
No sorry.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Really.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
No, for sure.
Because it's like two rooms inone or the atrium.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
No, oh, the happy hour.
Happy hour and the freebreakfast with omelets.
You start off the morning freebreakfast.
They have an omelet bar guy.
They're making omelets in theatrium yeah like seems like
cheating, doesn't it?
what?
What better life is this thanfive minutes happy hour and free
breakfast in the morning andthen you have two rooms?
I also and this is a little bitof the silver spoon I grew up
(09:45):
with my mouth, I suppose Ilegitimately didn't know that
there were other hotels exceptembassy suites until some later
point in my life, because my dadtraveled so much and he always
would for work would say likeembassy suites.
We had so many points built upso we could just stay because it
was like that's good, like what?
(10:08):
what is this one room?
No breakfast.
Where's the other room?
Where am I supposed to get mybreakfast?
Walk to the waffle house, oh,scramble dice.
Chunt, yes, please.
Um, yeah, no, this is great.
I, the ip section of yourstomach is like that's the exact
right definition.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I, I can't think of trying to think back to a time
that I stayed at the embassysuites.
It's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's sad you should go to that I'm going to take
that as a uh, just staychallenge.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Next time I go somewhere for work and
everybody's like we're stayingat the Fairmont Oregon, I'm like
that's cool, I'm going to staynext to the freeway at the
embassy suites and then I'll seeyou after breakfast.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, your omelet, have your little biscuit Walk up
full.
They're like what'd you guys dofor breakfast?
I had some, yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Who's going to get the thumbs up on their expense
report this month?
Huh, exactly.
Hey way to be frugal AndrewTing Like and I got two rooms
for that price.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Exactly A little front room.
I had a room to type in With awindow that looks out to like
inside Sort of weird.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Exactly Now you're talking hotels.
This is the way hotels aresupposed to be.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
So we show up in El Paso, speaking of hotels, and we
go into El Paso and we check inand it's nighttime it's dark.
So we had left San Antonioduring the day we haul.
Nighttime it's dark, so we hadleft san antonio during the day.
We hauled over the desert.
We're driving, it's night.
We show up, we find this littlehotel that I'm sure linda gare
shout out when they are, uh,found for us.
And we start checking in andthe guy this is such a great
(11:41):
memory from this, from the roadtrip the guy looked at us and
he's like hey, you ever been toel paso before?
and you and I are both like nowe haven't, and he's like 27th
largest city in america.
We're like, oh really, I'm notso sure, I'm not sure how the
number correct there.
He's just best kept exactlyyeah best kept secret in america
(12:05):
also.
We're like really wow, thanks,buddy, like he was meanwhile in
the background.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I don't know if that comes across the microphone, but
that is my attempt at gunshotsin the distance whoa, whoa, what
was?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
excuse me, sir, what's that?
Backfires, we're pretty surethe backfires, and we're like,
oh well, thanks, he loves, he is, he loves, he is El Paso.
This wasn't something that wehad to bring up, he just
naturally bubbled up love of ElPaso, right.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I wonder if he started with what brings you to
this wonderful town of El Pasoand we said we are traveling
around the country and that iswhy he?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
that seems like a likely reason, but maybe he just
loved it and told everybodyregardless he has a hotel, like
he just built a hotel, so he'salways ready to tell you yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I don't think it was a hotel, if that makes sense.
Yeah, I think it's.
I think it was more of a motel.
If that makes sense.
Yeah, I think it's more of amotel.
I don't remember it being nice,I remember it being like a
motor lodge.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
You missed the moment though.
Oh shoot, what was the moment?
Motel, Motel.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Holiday Embassy.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Suites.
Say what?
Yeah, dude, I lobbed that toyou too.
Sorry, I thought you were goingto hit it.
Shout out to our friend stephfry.
I think of that.
I think I've heard when we saythat I think you guys did that,
like your sunshine opening orsomething could have?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
well, probably not.
I don't think that would havebeen appropriate for the
christian camp to sing justthose words.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It was just those words.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It wasn't the whole thing oh, oh, right, okay, I
don't know anytime.
I think about like 90s hip-hopand there's like hotel.
I'm like emphasis on the hoethey were into the word hoe in
the 90s am I right?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
they were, yeah, yeah , what's that more?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
ludicrous song that was oh, he's so fun, oh, it's
something about going to thehotel, hotel, everybody like,
everybody Like, never mind.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
But Ludacris, like because he busts into this part
out, he busts into Usher,doesn't he bust into?
Like Justin Bieber too, thebaby is that Ludacris?
I just saw Luda.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Listen, this is Luda play.
Or is playing at the Great Parkin Irvine coming up, which is
the most gangsta of all placesyou could possibly play at the
Great Park in Irvine, california.
So I'm like babe Luda's playingat Five Points Arena.
(14:43):
I don't know.
This is great news and she'slike you need to go, andrew, and
this is your chance to finallytell them about your cereal idea
and I'm like my cereal idea.
I had totally forgotten I wasgoing to pitch Luda crisps.
Oh, that is good Like, maybenot as good as an omelet, but
like what?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
a way to start your day with some Luda crisps, the
embassy sweets.
Oh man, in one of those tubeswhere you twist the thing and it
comes into your bowl and itbreaks like 10 of them every
time you twist it, but it'sworth it, oh man charms are
always sitting there, ludicrispsare you going crisps?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
um, no, I.
There's a zero percent chance.
You know what maybe we should?
That would be kind of fun.
I'm gonna look into it.
Yeah, I might go see how muchtickets are.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
If there are a couple of kids round us up.
Yeah, oh yeah, motel.
Yeah, it's probably not evenludicrous.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Um, that's probably so.
Anyway, this guy yeah, he'stelling us all about the best
kept secret in America El Paso.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
We wake up in the morning and we look around the
best-temped secret in America?
We're like, well, he was lying.
This is not the best-tempedsecret in America.
We can just quickly get out ofthis town because there is no
use for this anymore.
And we slept and we laughed.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
You can see Juarez, mexico, from El Paso.
That's nice you can hear Juarez.
Mexico, or the gunshots comingfrom Juarez, mexico.
Yes, I think was it him whotold us about the arrangement
that the mayor of Juarez and ElPaso have, where they basically
(16:24):
meet on the bridge every sooften and they round up the
criminals, hand each other tothe people.
And exchange them.
They're like oh, we found theseguys from juarez here you go
and they're like oh we foundthese, what, yeah?
and they just they're like ohokay, here's what, yep, all
right, yep, yep, like that'sjust, that's just how it goes oh
boy, in the in the sistercities of juarez and el paso.
(16:45):
El paso and the 10 freeway goesright along the border?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, it does, and actually, to be fair, it is.
And I did this drive not thatlong ago I mean eight years when
I moved back.
The mountains are kind ofpretty off in the distance,
Because I was thinking aboutthis as I was driving through
and I was like, okay, that'skind of pretty out there.
There's some pretty ruggedmountains and you're driving and
there that is the area wherethere's like no speed limits too
(17:11):
.
It's just like 85, becausethere is nothing out there.
So it's just like go as fast asyou can, we're okay with that
so this was the place.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
So there was a lot of boredom and I don't know
exactly where this, this.
I'm pretty sure this thing thatI'm about to say took place in
el paso.
So there was a lot of boredomand I don't know exactly where
this this.
I'm pretty sure this thing thatI'm about to say took place in
El Paso, slightly outside of it,I think it was after we left.
Okay, and I remember you'redriving, yeah, and we're just
like gosh it is so boringdriving through Texas and you
(17:47):
looked at your watch and itstopped like it had stopped
working, and you like tapped itor whatever, and you like took
it off your wrist and then youjust threw it out the window,
and I don't know why, but justthe way in which you did it, I
(18:09):
probably laughed for 100 milesbecause it was just so funny.
Zero recollection of that.
That's great, though I think itwas like we were just so slap
happy of just driving deadstraight for the day before from
San Antonio to El Paso.
I mean, we could see El Pasofrom San Antonio, but it took us
(18:29):
eight hours to get there RightWest.
That's basically what goingwest on the 10 is I?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
also think.
I don't think.
Yeah, we said we don't have a10 in Tallahassee probably, and
just did that the rest of theway, yeah, and I don't think we
talked about the fact that oneof the episodes has probably
been on the last one.
We should have that, becausethe 10 just zipped through
mississippi and alabama, thebottom of them.
It was one of those stateswhere you and I didn't talk to
each other.
(18:54):
That's right, and I was like inthe back, you in the front, or
maybe it was the opposite, and Ithink we realized like at some
point, like oh, if we just don'tspeak, kind of like when you
were in the rv for 24 hours, yes, you, just if we don't talk the
rest, then we'll be able to saywe didn't speak a whole state.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
So go with me here.
This may not be the real story,but let's just say this is the
real story, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I took a nap.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
The previous part.
Yeah, I took a nap as we wereheading from Tallahassee through
Florida.
Sure, you did, of course youdid, I was asleep.
Yes, yes through the entiretyof Mississippi, nice.
But maybe I woke up right atthe end of Mississippi.
Okay, Maybe I was about to saysomething and you just signal to
me don't say a word no, butthen I would talk.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
So I'd say, don't speak.
You know Netterson reference.
But you would have just yeah,no doubt it's a good one.
No, I could also if.
But you would have just yeah,no doubt it's a good one.
No, I could also.
If you were sitting there, thenI just put my finger on your
lips no, no, no, no, no, yeah,the classic moment Don't speak
(20:02):
and our spirits, which werekindled intertwined understood
without words.
We could communicate withoutwords.
At that point we were probablysounds like a bad novel.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I'm like I get what you're saying, but I didn't say
that out loud.
That was in my brain.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
We're in Mississippi so what we did was we left El
Paso, we got to Phoenix, whichis a long drive of nothing from
Phoenix.
Then we decided we could eitherstay with my cousins or just
get home.
And yeah, we I don't think wereally had made up our mind yet
(20:39):
we were still like, well, whatare we gonna do?
And we got to phoenix and wehad dinner with my cousins,
which felt like enough of abreak, I think, for both, both
of us.
Yeah, yeah, we're like, let'sjust keep going.
Yeah, let's just get home.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
At this point we're six hours out we're like we can
just do it, let's just, let'sjust do it.
But before but before we leavePhoenix, just just some more
about the interstate 10 and thedesert.
I, the interstate 10 and thedesert.
(21:15):
I recall I think there's a.
I was looking through thepictures.
I thought there's a picture ofyou, but maybe it was of me just
sitting in the driver's seatbut with my arms folded on my
chest, like not even holding thesteering wheel.
You, if you put your vehicle incruise control yes, you didn't
have to be in the driver's seatanymore you could go make a
sandwich I think we talked about.
(21:36):
Should we just try?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
it or switch that would have been fun.
We should have done that.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
We might not have, there would have been, we would
have been fine.
Actually, that's what I mean.
We would have been fine.
Well, we did talk about insouth dakota.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
We talked about just tying something to the steering
wheel was that in south dakotaokay?
Yeah, but we could have justabsolutely switched and that
would have been a really againthese things.
Another thing that we talkedabout doing that we didn't do
was just driving through onestate in our underpants because
we were just like we could, justwe could still make that happen
.
That's actually.
It has happened multiple timesfor me already, but just kidding
(22:14):
, no but, I do, I agree with you.
Um, so, in, in slightly adjacentnews, there's been a horse that
has entered my life.
Now we, we have a horse aroundhere, slightly adjacent.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Well, because, hold on, I'm because hold on, I'm
going to circle it.
Make this one connect.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I got my pastor hat on, I'm going to circle it in,
and so I've been learning horseythings.
Okay, one of the horsey thingsI've been learning is that you
do not let a horse, when they'regoing back to their home, to
their stable, you do not letthem run.
They have to walk back to theirhome, to their stable.
You do not let them run.
They have to walk back to thestable, or else they're called
(22:54):
barn sour, that they'll run homeBecause they just want to be
home, because they're lazy, theywant to be home so bad, so
they'll start to just take offand they won't listen to you and
so you have to.
On your way home they can run tothe arena.
Of course we have Running Bear.
He's a little bit older and hehas his little path to the arena
.
There's some hills and recentlyhe's been on the path trying to
(23:15):
turn around, like, ah, I'm goodI did not go, because at the
arena he knows he has to run anddo things there and he's like
back there, I just stand around,I don't do anything.
It's like on the way to the gymright For us.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
We're like.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I could just not go.
Oh look, a Starbucks.
Oh look.
So you can't let they're asmart horse.
I guess they're.
They're not very smart, but insome ways they are.
You can't let them run homebecause they'll just take off.
This is what we were doing.
We're at Phoenix and we're likewe just got.
We just let's just keep going.
(23:48):
It's not like once you get thetaste of being that close to
home, like one night in Phoenixfelt bad.
Yeah, don't you think?
Yeah, I circled it up.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I circled it up, you got there.
That was pretty good, that waspretty solid Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I like it.
I like what you did there.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, I just yeah.
Okay, I like it, I like whatyou did there.
Yeah, I just yeah.
It was just we.
I think we both were just likewe need to.
We need to get home.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Yeah, we're, we're, yeah, we're good.
Now we're good and I believe II feel a little sad now that
we're talking about these lastcouple of moments.
I believe I drove us intoTorrance and dropped you off.
I then drove to my parents'house and the RV was there.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Wow, I think you're right.
And what?
A strange thing to say goodbyeafter all these, after all of
these wonderful moments in mylife.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
I don't think our parents knew we were coming home
that day.
I think they thought we werecoming home the next day,
because we thought that too.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Oh, we must've gotten home very late.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
It was very late.
It was, yeah, it was very late.
Yeah, again, we had dinner inPhoenix, yep, and then we just
rolled into town and I said,okay, I guess I'll see you
tomorrow where you can get yourstuff out of the motorhome.
