Dean recounts a wild, heartfelt weekend — sneaking Patrick's ashes onto the PNC Park infield. Recounts his time with longtime friends and family, and coping with a suddenly quiet home.

In this solo, I open up about the changes, losses, and lessons shaping my life right now. The death of Charlie Kirk, celebrating my best friend Patrick in Pittsburgh, and saying goodbye to my mentee Jayden, my roommate Josh, and his dog Duke.

I do a Q&A that dives into small-town memories, high school days before technology took over, and how community used to feel — and how we can get back to that.

I also share lighter moments like writing music with my best friend, and barber in a barbershop. Looking ahead to resetting my life after this weekend, endorsing a hometown candidate for city council, and reacting to a Joe Rogan clip I saved.
