In this episode we discuss the passing of Hulk Hogan, who for men in a specific age bracket was almost a father figure.  Paul's actual father died in 2013, so he can tell you what it's like to lose a father for real, and what it's like to feel the need to replace him.  He can also tell you how to keep #livin despite it all.

If you're very important, like the guy who invented the Pringles can, you probably know what you want to be remembered for.  The rest of us are still thinking.  We're also thinking about how easy it is to get stuck in a cycle of living for everyone but yourself.  Burnout is real, and it rarely ends well.  And just because you're not Pringles Can Famous doesn't mean you don't have an identity outside of what you've done for the world.

Do you have a popular name? Maybe you did, maybe you still do.  Maybe you're on the cutting edge, like kids named Liam.  Either way, it's not really important.  What is important is the ability to recognize when you're in a rut, and how to get out of it.  When a car gets stuck in the mud, does it get out by itself?  I don't think even the self-driving ones do.  Get yourself a battle buddy and level up.

After a couple years off, What's The Point returns!  We've been hearing from listeners and decided that our show has been making more of an impact than we thought, so we owe it to you guys to keep going.  Plus we needed an excuse to sit in an air conditioned studio every so often this summer.  We'll be releasing episodes every other week for the foreseeable future, so stay tuned.
