RoAb #40 - The 'Bubbles and Water' Episode

Once again, our fearless leader Craig Cole has fled the country in search of weinerschnitzel and pretzels, but filling the void in his stead is none other than Rumblestrip, himself, Eric Trytko. This week Eric gets his Lawrence Welk vibe going as he takes RoundAbout into uncharted territory for the 'Bubbles and Water' episode. The Hydrokultur Nios and Zooop EV bring foretell a future populated by "bubble cars." Meanwhile, a UK study reveals that using water instead of windshield wiper fluid could literally kill you--and we don't mean from poor visibility. Then we talk about a bubble in the stock market that just may burst all over Toyota and Tesla. All that and more, plus our Blind Spot uncovers a vehicle that is very literally one horsepower and we play a waterlogged edition of our favorite game The Price is CORRECT!
