Welcome to If You're Driving, Close Your Eyes, a podcast about navigating the cruelty chaos, and wonder of our terrifying world. Niki, John, LB— and our producer Jordo— try to find meaning and clarity one or twelve subjects at a time: from the menu at Cheesecake Factory to a human man dressed up as Snoopy tucking you into bed.

Better 1? Better 2?
Better 1 ? Better 2? Or the same?
Neither?
Ok great you can open your eyes, your prescription for your new favorite podcast is ready!
Listened to back to back to back to back episodes while road tripping to the Adirondack mountains. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, beats these best friends just goofin’ around to make the hours on a road trip melt away. My only complaint is that driving a motorcycle with my eyes closed on some really twisty roads is a bit difficult, so I wasn’t able to actually properly follow directions. Please forgive me.
you should listen to it because it’s funny
I closed my eyes and started at the very beginning after being a buzz buzz VGBees listener. Video games good but silly friends giving guidance on how to shut your peepers and navigate under that wet ball in the sky also good. Five star.
