Part 1 of our Ohio trip! Before the twenty one pilots show at Ohio Stadium, we turned the drive from Dallas into a full Midwest road trip, and this episode covers everything leading up to show day.

St. Louis: questionable tacos, a GPS that sent us to "Gooey Louie Gooey Butt...", the best Italian food we've had since Eataly, a foggy trip up the Gateway Arch, crawling through City Museum, and our first (and last) White Castle.

Chicago: a hostel check-in from hell, the Willis Tower Skydeck ledge, Lou Malnati's deep dish, seeing The Bean at 10 PM, the worst night of sleep of the trip, butterbeer, Mr. Beef from The Bear, and getting lost on Divvy bikes in the rain.

Cedar Point: Indiana tolls, Top Thrill 2, Maverick, Steel Vengeance, Millennium Force, Siren's Curse and more. Then Columbus the night before the show.

Part 2 (show day!) is coming next. Subscribe so you don't miss it, and let us know in the comments if you were there too.
