Jake Adams found his true calling when he began his coaching career back in 2005. Ten years later, he learned that even a true calling can take its toll, sending him on a multi-phase journey to workplace hell and back before becoming the mustachioed man he is today. The attic felt more like a sauna during this interview, so the occasional A/C respites feature musical interludes by some of Jake & Kirk's favorites.

kirk's not a morning person, never has been. and even though he had today's episode locked down in his head, a snooze-button fiasco made him reevaluate everything. maybe he shouldn't have used one of his favorite songs - 'fever pitch' by rainbow kitten surprise - as his alarm tone today.

kirk's first-ever mustache has him feeling suspicious, but is this an example of confusing correlation with causation? most importantly, kirk reminisces about his dear friend mrs. p, who is nearing the end of her life, but he's not going to let that rain on his parade. join us in sending love to mrs. p!
