Ep. 143 - Motel and Corn Flakes

Pack your bags and gas up your car. Scott and Steve take you on a
journey to explore the origin and history of the word "Motel."


On their way, the guys travel the byways and highways (and later
Interstates) of the US, and also discuss how both Holiday Inn and
South of The Border emerged from the motel movement, plus the
effect from the birth of the Interstate Highway in 1956 on
motels.


In the "Origin of Eatcies" segment, Scott discusses the true
story behind "Corn Flakes," which involves Dr. John Kellog's
quest to end America's epidemic of indigestion ... and baitin'.


Finally, the guys take a break from yelling at clouds to discuss
their lawns and New Balance shoes. Be quiet, or I will pull this
car over! Listen to this episode of Origin of Speakcies today.
