With Veterans Day coming up and everyone exhausted from the election, we thought we’d offer a break from the news. Here’s a sample of our latest episode of TBIY about The Jeep. Known well by veterans, it’s “The Car That Saved The World”. The Jeep isn’t just a car, it’s a cult: inspiring clubs, meetups, even its own “Jeep Wave.” From cameos in M*A*S*H to Mean Girls, the Jeep’s been ranked the most patriotic brand in America for 20-straight years (sorry, Coke). But did you know that Jeep actually started as a group project? Learn how three fiercely competitive rivals came together for some emergency teamwork to help Allied Forces win WWII, how a freelance designer almost didn’t get the credit, and how its name was (maybe) inspired by a mythical character from Popeye. JEEP isn’t just the world’s 1st 4x4… it literally saved the world. Jump in Yetis, we’re going exploring… Find out why JEEP is the best idea yet.
