During my conversation with Jimmy “Carolina Monkey Gouger” Ardis two days back, I was reminded of the owner-operator’s appearance in the seriocomic “Freedom the Movie” by producer Morgan Spurlock.

The feature-length television road-trip with host and comic Billy Wayne Davis explores a range of Americans’ pursuit of their own notions of what it means to be free.

If you have a home cable subscription you can sign in with, you can catch the full video via CMT below. If not, be sure to catch Ardis’ rapid-fire sign-on in the trailer above. And here’s to a safe and productive and/or relaxing weekend out there, where’er you are.
