This week, we talk about the sporting events we’d actually spend real money to attend — from the Masters to the World Series — and somehow end up debating whether life is just one giant pass/fail test.

Michael defends his “do exactly what’s required” philosophy.
Steve explains how loading the dishwasher became a defining personality trait.
Matt tells the story of going from the Apple Genius Bar to hosting live television.

We also cover:
– Growing up with high-achieving siblings
– The myth of “luck”
– Double opt-in email etiquette
– Why some people grind… and others optimize
– And the very specific skill of airport pickup logistics

It’s sports nostalgia, career honesty, and in-law therapy — all in one episode.
