Convergence

Brendan's mom had a party to celebrate her life, and Mark remembers some chicken.

Brendan gets into it about his current situation with his family, Mark’s still singing, and they’re both opposed to AI drones and AI music.

Mark starts reading a great new book. Brendan is a bit overwhelmed by family stuff. And together they share love for food and therapy.

Mark ends Undo and cracks his head open like a coconut. Brendan ends art therapy, dodgeball, and eating. and together they try to stop asking a lemonade stand for grapes, waddle waddle.

Mark ran his first community singing group session, Brendan had a chat with his pasta/pastor, and we get to hear the full extended mix of Frank Turner's Get Better, by a dapper wizard.

Brendan is holding space and being held up by many hands. Mark is done with giving 120% and is ready to ut bak on some stuff (not this podcast, though).
