This episode starts with anniversary week and porch furniture… and somehow ends with steroid-enhanced athletes, collapsing Middle East peace talks, and the political machine steamrolling Thomas Massie.

Pretty standard 2026 conversation.

We talk about:

• 10 years married and the journey from Minneapolis suburbs to off-grid Tennessee
• a huge week of cabin progress
• porch trim struggles and finally seeing the place come together
• why we changed our solar and utility plans
• the Massie Kentucky primary and what it says about modern politics
• growing disillusionment with establishment narratives
• market manipulation around war headlines
• and the launch of the Enhanced Games — aka the open-steroid Olympics

This one feels less like a “news episode” and more like watching modern civilization slowly turn into a sci-fi movie while trying to build a normal life outside of it.
