Meet Mav and Joey. To an outsider, they seem like an odd couple. Mav is a retired software engineer with a meticulous love for order, vinyl records, and coffee brewed at exactly 200 degrees. Joey is a 22-year-old drifting through life with a skateboard under his arm and a guitar in the back seat held together by duct tape and hope. Never say no to a free sandwich

They have survived a flash flood in New Mexico, a standoff with a raccoon in a Colorado KOA, and a karaoke night in a dive bar outside Reno where they performed a surprisingly soulful duet of "Peaceful Easy Feeling." When asked for the secret to their partnership, Mav doesn't hesitate. "Respect. He doesn't try to fix me, and I don't try to parent him."

Mav believes in planning. He has spreadsheets for gas mileage and a binder full of paper maps. Joey believes in vibes. He navigates by the position of the sun and the name of the last town that sounded cool.
