Hello, this is Leverand Cox. I'm an actress, producer and host of the Leverand Cox show.

Do you like your tea with lemon or honey? History making Broadway performer Alex Newell.

When I sing the Holy Ghost shows up, that's my ministry and I know that well about me.

That's the tea honey. Whoever it is, you can bet we get into it.

My guest and I, we go there every single time. I can't help it.

Listen to the Leverand Cox show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

Hey and welcome to the short stuff. I'm Josh and there's Chuck and Jerry's here.

We're just traveling along this highway called Life. Luckily once in a while, there's a big blue sign that says there's a frishes this way.

I want to ride it all night long. Now I have that song in my head.

I'm very sorry about that. Who was that? I don't know. I think that was his only hit. I'm going to look though while you talk.

All right. Well, you put this together with our friends from House of Works and Nathan Chandler about these blue highway exit signs.

Off of Mike, I'll go ahead and say it. You said this one, you thought might have been kind of boring but I think it's interesting because you see in the United States, we'll explain for our international friends.

When you're driving down the highway in the US and they probably have these in other countries, I imagine.

And you approach a highway exit. You will have these blue signs that the first one will say like, you know, gas and food this way or maybe gas food and lodging if you're really lucky.

And then as you get closer, it will say Burger King on this exit and you get all excited and then it'll say waffle house and you two of them even.

More excited and a BP gas station and a motel six and so you know specific brands of companies, food companies and hotel companies and gasoline petrol companies.

And you'll know whether or not you want to stop there or not depending on what you want to eat or what kind of gas you want to get or where you want to stay.

Yeah. And the whole thing is really standardized. So it's like that company's logo but it's within a certain size little rectangle on a larger certain size rectangle.

I think that the things are like 19 feet wide and 10 feet tall way bigger than I thought that's the average size. That's crazy.

Well, they need to make it big enough so that you can see that while you're driving by really high speeds and say, oh, there's a burger king.

They don't look that big though from the highway. I guess that's the point.

By the way, Chuck, I think we're in trouble with Canada again because of course the guy who sings life as a highway was as a Canadian singer named Tom Cochran.
