Have you every wondered what happens on Georgetown Road outside of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway the night before the Indy 500?
Brian, Amanda, Kurt & Nathan camped out on Georgetown Road on Saturday, May 28, 2016 and recorded this live broadcast starting at around 9:30pm.
Have a listen and imagine the scenery as thousands of people in jorts and on motorcycles mill about the area.
If you like this episode, let us know in the comments! We have a late night recording as well that we can publish if you’re into this sort of thing. (And that one is quite a bit more R rated, because, you know, the inebriated only know one word after a certain point.)
