This week, the crew goes national with voices from across the U.S. — Baton Rouge, the Twin Cities, and back home in the Pacific Northwest. They swap stories about crazy freeway ramps, cross-country driving, and why Minnesota’s pizza game is “the land of the bland.” From walleye obsession and ice fishing traditions to Michigan’s weed laws still figuring themselves out, no topic is too weird or too small for the GCP table.
And if you’ve ever wondered how a bad headset dongle can turn into 20 minutes of comedy gold — you’re in the right place. Add in tales of cruise ship drinking packages, local pizza recommendations, and a few international travel fears (Canada, we’re looking at you 👀), and you’ve got one wild ride of an episode.
