We're back with our latest pod! It's a rare and special show where Jen actually describes herself as "OK!" We tackle some heavy topics such as dreams and how to define "success." Is coding/programming the only sure bet left in life in terms of paying work? Does money = love? Or is being acknowledged by strangers the only true expression of real love? Is it better to focus on short-term gains and move on? Or is it better to go for the long haul? We discussed the phenomenon of "Internet pile-ons," specifically the Ice Bucket Challenge and the death of Robin Williams. I recount the story of a crazy guy who asked me about the Battle of Armageddon. We went over some listener feedback and more!

Some people want to live in a house with a horse barn. I just want to be able to go to Starbucks all the time.

I've never seen The Godfather or any of the sequels. I have recently watched seasons of G.I. Joe and Transformers, tho.
