Description
When you've broken 25 of the USA's most absurd laws, what do you do next? If you're Rich Smith, you return to the scene of the crime, and then: vote for the King of the Hoboes at the National Hobo Convention in Britt, Iowa; watch the convicts compete in The Prison Rodeo at Oklahoma State Prison; expose yourself at the Amtrak Mooning in Orange County, California; bob for pig's feet at the Redneck Games, in Buckeye Park, Georgia; compete in the Annual Cardboard Boat Race in Heber Springs, Arkansas; die twice a day at the Battle of Little Bighorn Re-enactment in Billings, Utah; fire an AK-47 at the World's Biggest Machine Gun Shoot in Louisville, Kentucky; and join Rich Smith and his merry men (and woman) on their hilarious journey as they travel from state to state in search of the most bizarre events the land of the free has to offer.
