209: School Bus Supermom
In this week's special Mother's Day episode, Brian and Patrick Swayze chat with Karen, a seasoned school bus maestro with a decade of steering stories under her belt. Diving into her unexpected love affair with the bus driver's seat, Karen recounts her adventurous shift from trucking to chauffeuring party-goers. Amidst hearty laughs over quirky mishaps, she sheds light on the roadblocks women face in this male-dominated field, from sparse facilities to enduring stereotypes. They also swap tales of motoring through snow, their shared passion for quirky cars like the PT Cruiser, and the challenges of teaching the next generation to drive. Whether she’s behind the wheel of a school bus or a limo, Karen’s tales weave through the humorous and heartfelt lanes of life on the road. Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there!
