We're back with a three-part episode 12, releasing weekly. In this part, we cover a few fun stories, with deeper conversations on more personal topics in the next two parts to come.

First in part 1, we do a quick follow-up to an early segment we did on our show about the Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine a year ago, and their agreed settlement. Then it's a discussion on a proposed Rhode Island law to require in-person checkout options at stores. Next, we dive into a study showing video game players are sticking with older video games over new ones. Finally, we catch up with each other and see how things have been going.
