Ever wondered if Las Vegas was actually the mob's second shot at building an entertainment paradise? On this lively episode of Kings of the Road, we take you back to our unforgettable 2004 journey to Atlantic City. From Andrew's vivid diary entries capturing our raw, unfiltered moments to the quirky traffic challenges of New Jersey, we keep it real with all the strong language and hilarious mishaps that made the trip so memorable. We also toss around the idea of inviting you, our listeners, to defend your states in future episodes—New Jersey, South Dakota, Florida, we're looking at you.

Feeling nostalgic for those old VHS tapes and family movie nights? You're not alone! Scott shares his recent experience of re-watching "Oliver!" and the unexpected dark themes that spooked his daughter, making us rethink the movies we loved as kids. We also revisit "The Pirates of Penzance," discovering just how peculiar it seems through adult eyes. Expect laughs and surprises as we dig into those childhood classics and the sometimes shocking content we never noticed before.

And let’s not forget our Atlantic City escapade! Despite the high casino betting minimums and dreary weather that had us playing Euchre indoors, the boardwalk still offered some charming moments. Plus, we delve into the curious connections between Atlantic City and Las Vegas, pondering whether the latter was a second attempt by mobsters to create the ultimate entertainment mecca. Along the way, we chat about modern slang like "riz" and "skibbity," and their amusing links to places like Ohio. Strap in for a blend of nostalgia, travel anecdotes, and cultural musings that promises to be both enlightening and entertaining.
