Guest: Musician, Lead Guitarist, Mason Hodge 

1. “the most unprofessional little podcast” immediately becoming a Friends-cast crush draft before the guest is even introduced.
2. The redhead vs. ginger debate, especially the “he plays music, has a soul” save for Mason.
3. Mason’s origin story producing the accidental title: “Leaving Florida for Paradise.”
4. West Texas geography: every time you think you’ve reached West Texas, you keep driving and it gets even more West Texas.
5. The AI music bit: live music survives because humans mess up, have drama, sweat, crack voices, and, crucially, “you can’t train a robot to have a coke dependency.”
6. The browser-history story: “big, sexy woman boobs,” blaming the older brother, then the dad-talk basically becoming “be careful and delete your history.”
