In S2E41, we bring John back on and immediately get into retired “love me walls,” coins, shadow boxes, Robby definitely not smoking tobacco in Oregon, Jessie chewing rocks, and whether certain people looked like they grew up eating limestone. From there, we talk big-head headset problems, carbonated “water,” Robby getting caught at the bar when he was supposed to be recording with John and Ian, Riverside connection issues, Brooke having a boyfriend, John teaching his daughters real-world car skills, jump-starting cars, changing tires, oil changes, and why kids should know how to handle basic mechanical problems. We also get into old-man driving habits, having fewer friends after the military, hanging out at the bar just to see familiar people, tattoo ideas drawn by kids, architecture and video game art plans, extroverted versus introverted kids, Asher’s nonstop energy, Coraline as a comfort movie, turning podcast reels into animation, hating the sound of your own voice, customer-service personalities, blunt post-military workplace problems, shutting down John’s gym after burning himself out, mini-stroke warnings, slowing down after forty, and the dream of paying everything off before getting a chill job at AutoZone for car-part discounts.
