In the 1950s, Las Vegas turned nuclear testing into a tourist attraction. Rooftop viewing parties. Atomic cocktails. A mushroom cloud hairdo. This week we cover the atomic era — the spectacle, the fallout, and the bars and museums still standing if you want to experience it yourself.

Texas Revolution road trip across Gonzales, Goliad, the Alamo, and San Jacinto — real places, real history, and what it feels like to stand where it happened.

For the 190th anniversary of the Texas Revolution, this episode follows the story across Texas — from the opening shots in Gonzales to the turning point at the Goliad Massacre, into the legend of The Alamo, and finally to the decisive end at the Battle of San Jacinto.

Along the way, we hit the actual stops you can visit — museums, battlefields, and small towns — tying the story together through travel, not just timelines.

We return to Vancouver, BC — one of the most underrated road trips in the Pacific Northwest. In this episode: crossing the border by car, staying in the West End steps from English Bay, Granville Island's iconic public market, Lee's Donuts in Gastown, the Vancouver Aquarium inside Stanley Park, and why you should skip the $60 suspension bridge.

Bellingham, Washington sits 90 minutes north of Seattle and most people drive right past it. They shouldn't.

In this episode, we cover one of the Pacific Northwest's most underrated regions — the Bellingham waterfront, the historic Fairhaven district, Chuckanut Drive (Washington's original scenic byway), and the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, where the fields stretch to the Cascades and the bloom is worth planning a trip around.

If someone asked you to name the American cities where music is woven into the identity of the place — where the history lives in the venues, the neighborhoods, the streets — how many could you name?

In this episode, Jeremy and Amy break down their top picks. No ranking. Just the history, the venues worth traveling for, and what to do when you get there.

Most people fly into Las Vegas and never leave. That's definitely a mistake.

Nevada has more designated scenic byways than almost any state in the country — and more than enough variety to fill a week of driving adventures.

In this episode, Jeremy and Amy break down six of the best road trips in the Silver State: from half-day runs out of Vegas to the road Life magazine once called so desolate that drivers would need survival skills to attempt it.

Nevada will surprise you. It always does.

The popular question these days is one that stings us locals: "Is Vegas dead?"

Naah. It's not dead.

Las Vegas is worth it in 2026. It's also more expensive, more confusing, and easier to get wrong than ever. Blackjack minimums have tripled. Resort fees run extremely high. The cheap buffets are gone. And the MGM CEO went on an earnings call last fall and said — out loud — "shame on us" about their own pricing.

So we're doing a full reset. When to go. Where to stay. Where to eat without getting destroyed. How to score show tickets for a fraction of face value. What's actually free and worth your time. And the day trips within an hour of the Strip that most visitors never take. Every call in this episode answers one question: does this save you money?

Vegas rewards people who go in with a plan. This is the plan.
