RoAb #44 - The 'Hard Way' Episode

Ben gets famous the hard waySometimes you just want to walk, sometimes you’d rather pull-start the lawnmower and sometimes you feel like baking your own bread.  Join us this week on RoundAbout as we salute doing things the hard way.  Learn about a cool 1920s-editon GPS system that will blow your mind.  Find out why running from the cops is a really bad idea.  And leave it to the Japanese to come up with an absolutely absurd way of chilling and transporting a (yes, singular) watermelon.  All that and more PLUS we discuss a series of brain exercises that can help older folks drive better and we learn an important lesson about moving in our STUPID CAR TRICK video segment.  Check it all out on this week’s awe-inspiring episode of RoundAbout, #44, the “Hard Way” episode.
