Meet the guys behind the mic

A couple of guys.
A lot of good stories.

The best conversations don't always happen in a studio. Sometimes they happen at the bar, with a regular, a business owner, or somebody you just met along the way. That's where you'll find Rich and Darren.

01 / Rich

Always another
story down the road.

Rich spends around 200 days a year traveling the United States teaching wood carving. His idea for the show was simple: bring a camera along and share the people and places he meets on the road.

02 / Darren

Two wheels.
A good dive bar.

Darren is a biker who loves exploring Colorado and checking out its dive bars. For him, the people are part of the destination—and there's always someone worth sitting down with.

People worth meeting.

Locals, independent business owners, and interesting people with a story to share.

A different kind of stop.

From Colorado bars to places across the country, the camera comes along for the ride.

Stay for the laugh.

Bar talk, unexpected conversations, and the show's Joke of the Day.

Your bar. Your people. Your stories.

Make your place our next stop.
