Dream Jobs...Aren't What You Think Oct 22, 2026

Show notes

Dave serves a classic kitchen "family meal" of chicken and a salad that you can easily make at home.

Show notes

Dear John, Dave makes a stew and talks about the art of leaving without a proper farewell. Dave and Chris debate the respectfulness of saying goodbye, or maybe the respect it takes NOT to.

Drinking, Gen Z, and Hangovers Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Dave makes a classic hangover food, a bacon-egg-and-cheese sandwich, for guests while they talk about drinking. The Gen-Z experience is examined, stories about first drinks in the Amazon with strangers are told, and Dave recounts falling out of a window. At the end of the day, we learn some rules on how many drinks is the proper amount, the difference between great wine and bad wine and why it matters, and that flasks are, at this point, just for cowboys.
