Episode 72 is loaded with flashbacks and wild nights.
It begins with a trip back to the Golden Age of Cape Cod nightlife.  Guido Murphy's of Hyannis was one of the most popular, and most infamous, night spots ever on the Cape.  How did it start?  How did it get its reputation?  And what became of it?
This week's Road Trip takes us to the seaside, riverside, town of Groton, Connecticut.  Dubbed the Submarine Capital of the World, Groton is also home to historic forts, lighthouses, high-quality cuisine, beaches, and woodlands for hiking.  Get a taste of why you should make it a point to pay it a visit.
In the early 1990's all fast food restaurants seemed to be getting in on the bigger is better craze.  Super-sized meals, larger buckets of chicken, it was everywhere.  This extended to pizza chains as well.  For a brief period of time three of the biggest pizza establishments in America went to battle over who had the best 'giant' pizza.  Find out all about it as we go way Back In the Day.
We stick with the 1990's for a brand new Top 5.  This will deal with the passing fads of the decade.  Not all were bad, but all were in your face during the time they were popular.  Perhaps you partook in some of these crazes?
There is a new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the 40th anniversary of one of the biggest films of all-time, E.T.
