Episode Description
Give us feedback I’ll read it myself!
A cheap hotel can cost you way more than money, and we learn that the hard way on this one. McNeil is calling in from downtown Denver, and what starts as normal road-trip banter quickly turns into a cautionary tale about budget hotels, sketchy motels, and the exact moment your gut tells you to leave. We talk themed diners, long drives, and why “I just need a clean place to stay” has become a surprisingly expensive request in 2026 travel life.
We also bounce through the stuff that makes our town feel like our town: sponsor shoutouts, Ruby’s Lounge energy, and a push to help fund Mom Prom with local sponsorships. Then we veer into modern chaos, from sports betting apps that feel like day trading, to digital hotel keys, to the gear that actually helps on the road like a Starlink mini for reliable internet when you are working out of your car. If you are into road trip stories, work travel tips, and the weird overlap of small-town culture and big-city randomness, this one delivers.
And yes, we pitch what might be the dumbest smart idea we have had yet: a bumper-mounted cat feeder you can use to feed stray cats around Uvalde, or “cat” your friends as wholesome mischief. Listen, laugh, then tell us if you would try it. Subscribe, share the episode with a friend who travels for work, and leave a review so more people can find the show.
