Have you ever bent over backwards for someone who couldn't muster a simple "thank you"? We've all been there. Today's raw conversation dives into those frustrating friendships where gratitude seems impossible to extract, no matter how hard you work or how much time you invest. After spending four days fixing a friend's truck only to make things worse (and never hearing the end of it), I've learned some tough lessons about when to offer help and when to keep my skills to myself.

The emotional journey of parenting takes center stage as I reflect on attending my son's senior year football decal event. After 18 years of raising him and watching him play since he was four, the realization that these are his final games hits differently. There's a special kind of pride that comes with watching your child grow into someone you genuinely respect, even with the occasional "teenage moments" that drive you crazy. This generation has advantages we never had – immediate access to information, technology at their fingertips – yet sometimes lack basic skills we took for granted.

The episode closes with a thought experiment about superpowers that quickly spirals into hilarious territory. While teleportation would be my personal choice (imagine waking up in Texas, having espresso in Italy, and sushi in Tokyo before returning for Taco Bell), what would society actually look like if everyone had supernatural abilities? Airlines would become museum exhibits, politicians would be exposed by mind readers, and sports would be fundamentally broken. The truth is, humans would waste cosmic potential on hitting snooze 74 times or checking if their dog really loves them. Think about it – what power would you choose, and how quickly would you use it for something completely trivial?

So what's your superpower pick? More importantly, how badly would you abuse it? Let's be honest with ourselves – we all know what we'd really do with invisibility.

IT CAN ONLY GET BETTER
