    Dec 8 2025

    Heading into the last few days of 2025, I got to wondering. What, really, are the most important numbers in a person’s lifetime. I called in my buddy Dan, from PA, to help me out.

    From pondering AI and the “new normal,” to ghost stories inthe Grand Canyon, to wondering what “living your best life” really means, Mitch invites guests and listeners alike to sit down, swap stories, and wrestle with the questions we all think about but don’t always say out loud.

  • #172 Boots in the Stirrups: Be Where You Are...
    Nov 17 2025

    The full quote is "Be where you are, otherwise you will miss your life" by - hold on to your hats - Buddha.

    But it speaks to the topic of people seeming to prefer to see things on their phones, computers, or big screens. That’s watching life, not living it. And anyone who prefers that should not consider this as me offering a negative point of view on your choices, but rather – a challenge.

    I'm joined today by my good buddy Gavin, an Aussie for sure, dialing in from Seattle, we'll explain and have a few laughs.

  • #170 The Long Shadow. A History of Executions in Texas.
    Nov 3 2025

    There’s no other state in the union with a story like Texas’. In a way, due to the proximity to two frontiers in Mexico and the wild west, no other state can have a story like Texas.

    This, of course, led to a need to implement manners of control unique to the state and to the situation.
