Ever wondered why some TV shows lose their magic over time? This week, Kelly and her husband Jimmy join us once more on the Outer Belt Podcast to shed light on their vital roles in FedEx Custom Critical and our maintenance team. Prepare for a hearty laugh as we recount a bizarre wake-up call involving a bitten tongue and dive into a spirited debate on whether you "ride" or "drive" a motorcycle. Our fact-checker, Don Juan, makes sure we get everything right, as always.
Thinking about getting into motorcycles? You'll love our chat about various bike brands, from Yamaha to Ducati, and the must-have accessories from stores like Iron Pony. I share my own experiences, from my college days favoring Hondas to eventually falling in love with a Suzuki Boulevard. We break down essential motorcycle terminology and explore the features of classics like the Goldwing and Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic, offering tips for both newbies and seasoned riders.
If you're a bourbon enthusiast, you'll enjoy our recount of a weekend at a bourbon festival, complete with a heated pool and a reunion with Dan the Bourbon Man. We wrap up with a deep dive into our journey of building and customizing a fleet of trucks, from maintaining identical trucks for ease of maintenance to rewarding our top-performing teams with specialized Super C trucks. Expect insightful stories, practical advice, and a sprinkle of humor—an episode you won’t want to miss!

Our culinary savant, Don, steals the spotlight with his homemade buttermilk ice cream, a chilly companion to our fiery feast. But it's not all about the palate; we also dish out a serving of wisdom on the importance of emergency preparation, as we recount a close encounter with a tornado warning and the unexpected camaraderie it forged within our community.
Fasten your seatbelts for a flight through the turbulent skies of air travel tales. Our crew shares their most memorable moments at 30,000 feet, from aborted landings to pilots' feats of aeronautic acrobatics. And as we taxi back to the gate, we ponder the economic allure of flight overbooking, weighing the pros and cons of staying an extra night in exchange for those airline vouchers. Whether you're a frequent flyer or just love a good story, there's something in the cabin for you.
Tune in for a harmonious blend of past and present as we reflect on the evolution of the music industry through the lens of concerts and the hot pursuit of exclusive merch—because who doesn't want to snag Madonna's bomber jacket? We weave in tales of business acumen with a nod to Ryan Reynolds and the Columbus scene, and we don't shy away from serious discussions on the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse's impact on commercial drivers. To cap it off, I share my weight loss milestones, an invitation for anyone on a similar journey to find encouragement and camaraderie in our shared success. Join us on this joyride of experiences that's sure to resonate with the rhythm of any listener's life.

We kick things off with our lively crew—Patrick, Chilly, Buttermilk, Eric H, Eric B, Jerry, and Kayla—sharing their quirky coffee escapades of the week. From Patrick's not-so-sweet affair with Tim Hortons to the surprising discovery of espresso-less mochas, our caffeine-fueled adventures remind us that sometimes the journey is just as delightful as the coffee itself. And let's not forget the determined Seattle visitor on a quest for Tim Hortons, proving that a little curiosity and humor go a long way.
But that's just the start! Picture this: a roadside emergency, truckers stranded in a fuel lane, and a comedy of errors that ensues when the truck won't start. The punchline? It wasn't in neutral!
