I'll be back hosting the week after next, all those shows, Monday through Friday, starting April 6th.

I did this thing, an opportunity landed in my lap.

You would have said yes, too.

A couple buddies were driving a good stretch of highway of Route 66, which turns 100 years old.

This year, it's the Mother Road, and it's full of all the kitsch and the T-shirts.

And we had some fun.

We were like, what mode of conveyance do you use to drive 66 in 2026?

So we tried like every one.

So I took Metro Rail Expo Line to Santa Monica Pier to start to get my public transit cred out there.

We took a Waymo, but you can't take it very far.

We also took a Waymo because of the three people that did this with me, two other people.

One of them is the former CEO of Waymo.

So he's like, let's do Waymo.

I'm like, I know why you said that.

To his, this is the part where Kai Risdahl is going to be jealous.

What's that?

He owns a 1966 Oldsmobile 442.

Oh, I used to have one of those.

You used to have one?

I think I saw a picture of you in it.
