Road Trip Part 1: Ohio to SD, Gateway Arch & a Cross for Mega-Jesus

The first part of my road trip across the USA and beyond. This episode follows me and my ramblings from Ohio to South Dakota, I visit the Gateway Arch, I discuss the confusing way Christians celebrate Jesus, I deal with the bottom falling off of my car, and I tell the complicated story of getting into Sundance.
