Ask Brock Haunts Your Nightmares at the Clown Motel

By Brock Yordy
October 26, 2023

What’s scarier than stuck pipe? Clowns. I mean, you’ve read “It,” right? 

In this episode, roving host Brock Yordy makes a stopover at the world famous Clown Motel in Tonopah, Nevada. The hotel boasts an unnerving 2,000-plus items of clown memorabilia. And if the clowns become too much for you, you can clear your head in the town cemetery next door. It’s Ask Brock 234. 

Click the video to hear more. 

Happy Halloween from the whole team at The Driller. May your scares always be followed by candy.
