Host Will Clinger drives the Illinois leg of historic ROUTE 66 to find: the birthplace of the COZY DOG in Springfield; a city hall with a phone booth on its roof in LINCOLN; the land-yacht of itinerant Route 66 artist Bob Waldmire in PONTIAC; a roadside attraction called HENRY'S RABBIT RANCH; and then rides along at the annual bike race/eating contest known as the TOUR DE DONUT in Staunton.

In Chicago, host Will Clinger attends the parody of the IDITAROD - the CHI-DITAROD, where the sled is a shopping cart pulled by people instead of dogs; checks in to the Watergate Hotel's SCANDAL ROOM in DC; visits the studio of surrealist MICHAEL P PRICE in Arizona; squeezes himself into a DWARF CAR for a drive in Maricopa; and then marvels at an art exhibit made entirely out of PEEPS in Wisconsin.

Host Will Clinger visits McMinnville, Oregon's UFO FEST to witness the extraterrestrial parade & alien pet contest; examines the MUSEUM OF MENTAL HEALTH in Salem where One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest was filmed; tries not to crash in a jet simulator at the NAVAL FLIGHT ACADEMY in Pensacola; and then marvels at the huge model ships and animated "rock band" made completely out of...TOOTHPICKS!

Host Will Clinger journeys hundreds of feet underground to tour the historic QUEEN COPPER MINE in Bisbee, Arizona; spends the night at the nearby bucolic SHADY DELL retro trailer park; goes nowhere but up at a WHITE MOUNTAIN HOT AIR BALLOONFEST and then tries to dodge ferocious flying carp at the annual central Illinois REDNECK FISHING TOURNAMENT (spoiler alert: he fails).

Host Will Clinger delves into the paranormal legends surrounding EDGAR ALLAN POE as well as the historic and haunted USS CONSTELLATION in Baltimore; reaches for his wallet at America's only PURSE MUSEUM in Little Rock; wanders among hundreds of critters at the MIDWEST FUR FEST in Chicago; and then tees off with Sister Cindy at an event called (no kidding) BEAT THE NUN.

Host Will Clinger feels right at home in a roomful of dummies at the VENTRILOQUISTS' CONVENTION near Cincinnati; finds all things feline at the LUCKY CAT MUSEUM; drives out to CARHENGE - Nebraska's answer to Stonehenge; and then sees where the bodies are not buried but frozen (in liquid nitrogen) at ALCOR CRYOGENICS in Scottsdale - Open To The Public!

Host Will Clinger spends an entire episode chronicling the annual, KINETIC SCULPTURE RACE in Baltimore - an outrageously challenging competition among two dozen humanpowered, amphibious, all-terrain mobile works of art slogging through a 15 mile course of city streets, mud, sand and Baltimore's inner harbor. All entries are vying for the coveted GRAND MEDIOCRE CHAMPION award.
