This is the episode where the walls come down and the real conversations start taking place. Bombadillo and Kriz get deep into chats from an RV park in Oklahoma City about the balance between optimism, pessimism, and realism, and how this entire adventure (and subsequent podcast) has turned out to be such a vastly different experience from what was hoped or expected.

The second part of the Walmart parking lot episode. There's moments straight out of the N64 Zelda series, a stream of consciousness rant from a woke hippie, and alarms in the Walmart parking lot.

It's been a rough run. Bombadillo and Kriz are stuck in a Walmart parking lot on a day when the high was 108, after a long (and expensive) hiatus from the road while Terry went in to the shop.

This is part 1 of 2, since there was a lot to catch up on.

Kriz officially starts losing it, and calls in HR to mitigate ASMR violations. Bombadillo spills his drink 839857 times, tries Vegemite, and talks about the importance of good communication. Terry the RV is due for a new catalytic converter.

Bombadillo and Kriz try their hands at a sleepy morning podcast, broadcasting from a campground in Muskegon, MI. They reminisce on the golden days of the internet, talk about the current state of Terry's mechanical woes, have a chat about manifestation, and discuss the feasibility of trading magic garbanzo beans for a miniature donkey.

Bombadillo learns about patty cake and talks about the benefits of comprehensive soup insurance. Kriz channels her inner woke yogi, heady wook guy, and rapper from New Zealand.

Kriz and Bombadillo still haven't left Fort Custer campground, so they take some time to get listeners caught up on their 14 years of friendship.

Kriz and Bombadillo try their hand at podcasting from inside a 1993 Class C RV with a whole laundry list of things to fix before heading out on a cross-country adventure.
