Caution: Bumps Ahead — The Wildest Car Crash Stories You’ve Never Heard (Until Now)
Episode 59: The Kids Are In Bed
If you’ve ever hit a deer, been rear-ended in rush hour, or found yourself behind the wheel of a car that didn’t technically have anti-lock brakes (Tim, we’re looking at you), you’re going to feel right at home in this week’s episode.
In “Caution: Bumps Ahead,” we pull into the slow lane and talk all things car accidents—big and small, funny and frustrating, and surprisingly emotional. Jenni reflects on the seven deer she’s hit over the years (yes, seven), the time she flipped her Jeep shortly after getting her license, and how she once got rear-ended by a man named Andre Love… on Valentine’s Day. Tim shares the story of his car’s sudden need for a brand-new engine (covered under warranty, thankfully) and the fateful realization that his first solo car purchase didn’t include anti-lock brakes.
💡 But it’s not just our stories.
We also:
- Play a real driving test quiz to see if Jenni’s license should be revoked.
- Highlight iconic wrecks from TV (including a hilarious detour into the world of Grey’s Anatomy, where car crashes are practically a recurring character).
- Reflect on how car trouble, strangely enough, sometimes leads to something good.
This episode blends storytelling, comedy, nostalgia, and relationship dynamics into a ride that’s just as chaotic and charming as the open road. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the absurdity, or the pop culture deep dives, we promise you’ll leave entertained—and maybe a little surprised by the odds of your own past fender bender.
