We’re back with our second county special. We managed to do an episode on Hamilton County with only one reference to the musical. Meanwhile, Katie judges tornadoes, Nick says “also” a lot, and Kelsey presents her comprehensive hayride theory.

Nick’s less-than-glowing review of the Columbus Museum of Art sends us all into an epic discussion/rant on modern art.

2023-06-101h 16The Ohio BubbleWashington County: Of Pioneers and PutnamsSomeone had the crazy idea of doing a whole episode for each of Ohio’s 88 counties. And we’re just crazy enough to try! We begin with Washington County, the first established. It’s now home to all the historical sites you could want in a county and all the creepy dolls you could want in a lifetime. In this episode, we also accidentally come full circle on just about every topic and say the name, Putnam a lot. Say it with us: Putnam. Fun right?

Brandon Isleib)In Kelsey’s (temporary) absence we’re joined by lawyer and polymath, Brandon Isleib (AKA Restless Mosaic) to discuss the odd side of Ohio’s laws. From banned monkeys to reptilian projectiles, we attempt to find out why these weird statutes are on the books. And Brandon attempts to segue between them…

Between Cedar Point in the north and Kings Island in the south, we have 30 different coasters to choose from, including some of the tallest, fastest, and longest in the world. In this episode, we’ll take you through our memories of these two world class amusement parks and in an attempt to finally settle which is Ohio’s best. Along the way, we’ll introduce you to “coaster therapy,” employ the phrase, “furnace of a dog,” and complain some more about the weather.

From birds and trees to songs and candies, all kinds of things are used to represent Ohio to the wider world. But are we putting our best foot forward? Only Nick, Katie, and Kelsey have the audacity to rethink everything and suggest replacements for Ohio's official state... things. This episode also includes Nick's unpopular ideas about dog breeds, Katie's shocking reveal about Groundhog Day, and Kelsey's history of being divebombed by random animals.

Is Bessie just a big fish? Is there a grasswoman? Does Loveland’s frogman talk? Are we crazy for asking?

Settling on U.S. Route 42 and the parallel I-71, we attempt to design the ultimate Ohio road adventure, full of natural beauty, awesome food, and… some pretty morbid history.
Also in this episode, we meet a chain-smoking cyborg, hear Nick’s owl impersonation, and learn why Kelsey hates camping.

Join us as we reminisce about the intricacies of campus dining, discuss the best way to enjoy a Buckeye Football game, and throw in some surprising trivia.
This episode will also feature a spider named after a new wave singer, two would-be homecoming queens, a superfluous reference to Untitled Goose Game, and some groutrageous puns. We promise it all makes sense.

Believe Ohioans are only obsessed with football? Have the opinion Ohio really isn’t that important? Join us as we chat about why Ohio is more than just a flyover state and really earns its place as the 17th state in the Union.
Also in this episode, we meet a lucky border collie, uncover the Invasion of the Alaskan Superintendents, and learn that Nick and Kelsey make a normal hotdog. The word “y’all” may make an appearance.
