About this episode

Comedian Brooks Wheelan shares his travel experiences and stories on the podcast.

This week on the pod, Seth and Josh welcome comedian Brooks Wheelan! Brooks talks about growing up in Iowa with few family vacations, spending summers on his grandparents’ farm in Missouri, and taking memorable trips to the Wisconsin Dells. He shares stories about not seeing the ocean until he was 21, discovering travel later in life, and finding himself on adventures everywhere from Corsica, where cigarettes became currency, to an 18-day rafting trip through the Grand Canyon. Plus, Brooks talks about his new comedy special "Alive in Alaska," and he's out on tour with Seth! Watch this episode on the Family Trips YouTube or Spotify, or listen wherever you get your podcasts!
