Summary

In celebration of summertime road trips, this week we’re revisiting an episode from our archives that is one of PaddyO’s favorites. In 2021, two men set out to do something seemingly impossible. And also pretty dumb. Motorcycle gurus and YouTube stars Zack Courts and Ari Henning would squeeze together, buttcrack to belt buckle, onto a minibike—a vehicle roughly the size of a children’s bicycle and powered by an engine that can barely run a lawn mower—and drive 400 miles from a cornfield in Nebraska to a little place called Aspen, Colorado. Sound familiar? It should. That’s right, this is the same iconic road trip that Hollywood stars Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels’ Harry and Lloyd took in the cult classic Farrelly Brothers film Dumb and Dumber. The big difference is that this time it wasn’t a hilarious 3-minute movie montage. This road trip was for real. And it hurt like hell.

Howdy pals? While you're listening to this, I am at a small cabin in the woods with my family.

It's one of my favorite stories I've ever reported on, because it involves a bunch of things I love. Friendship,

Way back in 2021, two Motorhead friends were joking around about famous movie road trips. You know, those buddy films where a pair of pals set out on the road for an

adventure. But there was one cinemified road trip that they became obsessed with, a 400-mile
