Fresh off another emotional stint at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, reeling from visually drinking in thousands of caterpillars, smelling incredible via some new scents, and finishing Sopranos in its entirety, I give you... episode 125.

Recorded on the precipice of receiving yet another rental car... In the present of  havoc reeking parrot interruptions, and a few weeks past 7/11 free slurpee day- episode 124 is already shattering records. Greedy for more accolades, 124 also touches on the Barbie movie, sand dollars, and Uruguay. 

A fireworks epiphany, not being in denial about the weather, a powerful Mendocino Farms lesson, outdated agendas, two parents named Stacey... you know who's not on summer break? Episode 123. 

Recorded hours before a 4th of July Beach Boys concert plus fireworks extravaganza so needless to say but I guess I'll go ahead and say it anyways... emotions are running rampant. As if this wasn't enough: Being upgraded at Jamba Juice, a Sunday wedding, a fresh interlude, and gelato. There's no need to taste a sample, just commit to the unique flavor that is episode 122. 

A self proclaimed genius combination, a black and white dog not named Oreo, and the concept of a book heating up late... if it feels like I'm typing this within three hours of seeing a coyote in the wild it's because I have. 

Dolphins, jellyfish, a guitar interlude for the ages plus the Denver Nuggets are NBA champions ergo, I'm an NBA champion... feels right. 

A not so kind tirade against Kind bars, my mom and her friend Kim's yard sale, a benefit, an underwater related news story plus a shocking confession. 

An update on my flags plus grappling with the identity of summer 2023. 

Snakes, flags, french toast, Jerry, stepping down into a shower... a memorial day weekend for the ages. 

Dinner places that don't take reservations, a room temperature soup situation plus Darwinism.
