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.

Drivey note: this week's episode has been untouched by the loving hands of producer Jordan Mallory. John is much worse at Jordan's job than Jordan is, so please forgive this week for any audio issues or snafus.

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.

you should listen to it because it’s funny
