Howard Blues blows past his original 250-mile walking goal while powering through hundreds of episodes of One Piece on the basement treadmill.

Mark Kidder, Doc, and Rudeboy Kyle finish off their Midwest concert tour recap with a head-to-head comparison of Des Moines vs. Omaha. The crew dives deep into the high-flying drama of Blues Traveler's set—featuring a wild harmonica fiddle solo during "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" and frontman John Popper going on a viral-worthy rant against audience signs ("signs are worse than guns!") before begrudgingly playing a rare fan request. Meanwhile, Howard Blues takes us back in time with a December edition of The Blues Blotter, covering everything from a "grand theft helicopter" report to a mother building a paper trail against her 13-year-old, a hostile AA meeting, and a bar patron booted for refusing to tip.
