Show Notes Episode 451: Blame Old Bumble Butt

This week Host Dave Bledsoe gets into a drunken row with a taxi driver when he claims he should have to pay because he has thumb out and is clearly hitchhiking. (The driver blackened his eye and took his wallet. Again.) On the show this week we look back on the lost art of hitchhiking and why no one does it anymore. (Blame Edmund Kemper)

Along the way we discover that Dave had Tiny Bladder Syndrome as a child. (And today as well) Then we dive right into the long history of thumbing a ride from strangers on the side of the road. (Along with a VERY dubious Chaucer quote.) Then we move along to hitching in America from Depression era necessity to flower children wearing flowers in their hair right up until the murders started. Then we debunk all that nonsense about the murders. Finally, we wrap up with the REAL reason we don’t hitch anymore. (Did Dave find a way to blame technology? He did indeed!)

Our Sponsor this week is the Electronic Thumb, taking the fun out of hitchhiking but leaving all the risks! We open the show with Kai’s colorful interview and close with some Canadian Cold Water Review picking up hot chicks on the highway.
