New year, same crew, tighter habits. We kick off season five by getting honest about the small routines that make life easier: sleeping better, sharpening memory, and keeping our cars running smooth without breaking the bank. The conversation bounces from holiday food and family updates to a thoughtful look at aging, why some people stay sharp into their 90s, and how tiny, repeatable practices add up.

If you’ve ever blanked on a PIN at a flipped keypad or spiraled through password “special character” chaos, you’ll feel seen. We trade practica...

The show kicks off with a spicy takedown of empty trends before sliding into a rain-soaked Christmas drive and a candid look at EV ownership that car ads won’t give you. We talk real numbers—home charging, subscription fees, and those shockingly frequent tire replacements—then compare them with weekly gas runs to see where the savings actually land. If you’ve ever wondered whether a Tesla is cheaper, easier, or just different, this conversation gets past the headlines.

From there, we get under the hood. Oil weights, manufacturer intervals, and what...

Missed weeks, messy schedules, and a jury duty spiral set the stage for a catch-up that feels like real life: imperfect, funny, and unexpectedly honest.

We dig into a 36-hour fast, the psychology of accountability, and why simple metrics beat complicated plans. There’s a side-b...

Ever waited 20 minutes curbside for a prepaid $5 meal while watching ten cars breeze through the drive-thru? That’s where we start—where “convenience” breaks—and then we chase the thread through a month of life: an AI that couldn’t load a simple floor plan, a hike that cleared our heads, and an Oktoberfest run that reminded us what real, analog joy feels like.

We kick off with game-night jitters and sleep debt, then dive into the AI hype-versus-reality moment that turned into a buffering black hole. From there, the fast-food app fiasco t...
