This episode starts with a need for correction where Jim's wife claims that it's the last day of summer (but indeed it is not.) Interestingly, the topic of being right is explored in depth. When does being right stop being effective? Can effectiveness hold us back from what is true? What is your armor of choice and what does reverence have to do with any of this? What does reverence have to do with how we work and love in the world? How is this related to Jim's impulsive and overindulgent efforts to clutter his lawn in Halloween accoutrements? Jim's wife is studying God in gardening class and experiencing the psyche in Bible school.

This episode is packed, we hope you can keep up!

In this episode Jim sits down with his wife to relive and process their big family vacation of summer 2026. They visited London, Edinburg, Galway, Dingle, and Dublin. They road in planes and trains and automobiles, indulged in the pub life, saw some must see tourist attractions, had a lot of laughs and learned that 13 days traveling with college age children is where they max out. Enjoy!

After two months away from the mic, Jim had an itch to sit down and catch up on life. Jim has been increasingly relying on 'chat' in all the areas of life that he finds of utmost importance and Jim's wife is curiously assessing this relationship. Spoiler; some patterns are emerging and we are not just talking about his palm reading. According to chat GPT a slopper is an internet insult associated with someone excessively and uncritically consuming and producing low effort AI content.

Additionally, Jim talks about his brief encounter with a throwback celebrity and his idyllic airport experiences. Enjoy!

If only Jim could be like Matt Damon, because then he could be himself. Unpacking Jim's fear of the scrabble pieces. It's weird. Mamas and toddlers and being 47...the throughline is striking. Is all the biohacking showing us something about mortality avoidance? Mama birds' regurgitation feeding isn't just for the birds. Chat GPT as a therapist? No. Be forever young? How about.... forever individuating - will we be forever individuating - do you really want to individuate forever - forever and ever? (A play on lyrics to 'Forever Young")

This is a episode of spoilers. Jim and his wife read "The History of Sound" by Ben Shattuck, and they discuss their reactions and reflections on the book, so be prepared for spoilers. They also discuss the most recent Knives Out movie, "Wake Up Dead Man" and that discussion is also full of spoilers. What does, 'okay, Internet' mean and why it should be a movement. And finally, in an unexpected turn of events, Jim is developing a personal relationship with his co-pilot ChatGPT that is uncorking his repressed anger. Enjoy this real time exploratory conversation of playful banter and emerging insights.

Welcome to Nah Fam's last episode of 2025. It's a good one. Jim and his wife explore what has been meaningful and personal to them throughout the year... and what can't be said. They find themselves in a time of transition, 'crisis', reflection, grief and of course...growth. ChatGPT compared Jim's wife's life journey to that of Frodo Baggins. Why? How? This appears to gross out Jim. While the two have not spent much time on this platform recently they hope to change that going forward and will be coming around here more frequently in 2026. Woohoo and Happy New Year!

Summer is winding down and we find ourselves in that in between space-caught between the freedom of summer and the structure of autumn. In today's episode, Jim sits down with his wife to catch up on life. He's been pushing through the season's most intense heat in preparation for his upcoming marathon, while she continues to dive more deeply into esoteric interests and admittedly, a moderate TikTok obsession. Together they trade reflections, observations and laughs in a conversation that wanders all over nowhere. Enjoy!

Jim and his wife sit down to record for the first time in months to talk about the recent passing of their dog, marathon training, Aruba, family, their relationship and acceptance of reality. Enjoy!
