Things on Sticks: A County Fair Conversation

from Hoot’n & Holler’n With Matt Mitchell · host Matt Mitchell

We climbed into machines bolted together by strangers, ate things on sticks that had no business being on sticks, and lived to talk about it. This week on Hoot'n and Holler'n, we're talking carnivals and county fairs. The guys swap stories about the rides that shouldn't have been legal (the Scrambler, the Gravitron, the Tilt-A-Whirl, the one that was just a circle that spun you until you got a hangover the next day), the food that should never have touched a fryer (corn dogs, funnel cakes, chicken on a stick, candied apples, a deep-fried something that briefly seemed like a good idea), and the games that took every dollar in our wallets and gave back a Bon Jovi mirror and a goldfish that wouldn't make it home. We also get into Visionland, Dollywood, the rope ladder game that nobody can climb, the time someone won a giant stuffed dog and had to carry it around all day, and the strange men who set up tiger cages in mall parking lots and answer to no government on earth. Pull up a folding chair, mind your funnel cake, and try not to think too hard about who built this ride or when. New episodes every Wednesday.
