Iowa Talking Points took the show on the road to the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines for Senator Joni Ernst's annual Roast & Ride on June 1, 2024 — one of Iowa's signature political events and a gathering point for the state's top Republican leaders. Sponsored by Rabe Hardware, The American Free Enterprise Chamber of Commerce, Jeff Stein of KXEL AM/FM Radio, and Rob Mudd of Mudd Advertising and Mudd Studio 5, the episode featured ten separate conversations with some of Iowa and America's most prominent political figures.

Jeff Stein and Rob Mudd opened with Iowa Republican Party Chairman Jeff Kaufmann, followed by Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig and Secretary of State Paul Pate. The episode then featured a conversation with Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, one of the most popular Republican governors in the country, followed by Congressman Zach Nunn. The centerpiece of the episode was a sit-down with Senator Joni Ernst herself — the host of the Roast & Ride and one of Iowa's most prominent national political figures.

The episode continued with Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, Texas Congressman Wesley Hunt, and closed with a conversation with U.S. Senator Charles Grassley — Iowa's legendary senior senator. One of Iowa Talking Points' most expansive and memorable road show productions.
