Episode 5.23: 1979 Lamborghini Countach LP400S

Episode 5.23 - 1979 Lamborghini Countach LP400S: Strap in and punch it, because this week we're hitting the open road with a tank full of fun facts and zero regard for posted speed limits. Greg and Garrick dive headfirst into the wild world of The Cannonball Run — the legendary coast-to-coast race from NYC to LA that inspired one of the greatest ensemble car comedies of all time.

We talk about the real-life madness behind the race, the absolutely bonkers cast of characters, and of course, the iconic machines that made it all possible (yes, including that Lamborghini Countach). It's a fuel-injected mix of trivia, storytelling, and cinematic chaos — because what’s more Rum and Nerdy than a bunch of lunatics in supercars breaking the law for bragging rights?

Pop the cork, drop the clutch, and join us for an episode that’s 100% nitrous-fueled nostalgia.

Two rambling idiots—Greg and Garrick—bring you the *Rum & Nerdy Podcast*, a weekly dive into the world of nerd culture through the eyes of late 40s/early 50s dads who still can't get enough of their favorite movies, TV shows, and theme parks. With a deep love of all things nerdy and a shared passion for good rum, these two buddies mix laid-back humor, nostalgic memories, and plenty of laughs as they discuss everything from classic sci-fi to the latest pop culture trends.
