They also contemplate a situation that Sawtooth Frank was involved in, and ask the question, "Is Sawtooth an assh@le?"

In this episode, Sawtooth Frank and Stomping Jen discuss the things that get us out of our heads, and Sawtooth realizes that his "monkey mind" is a real monkey on his back.

What are you really good at? And art in Miami.

Stomping Jen and I go on the road to discuss List 3 from Moorea Seal's 52 List for Happiness, “What are you really good at?”

We also chat about our trip to Wynwood Walls in Miami, as well as a trip to Miami Beach.

During recording we were drinking Dead Guy Ale from Rogue.

What are your routines? (And the Invisible Burdens Carried by Sawtooth Frank.)

What a great conversation.

After a party, Stomping Jen and I tackle List 2 of the 52 Lists for Happiness journal, and talk about our personal and work routines.

Our chat also took an unexpected jag into the invisible burdens carried by partners in domestic relationships, and how incredibly wonderful Sawtooth Frank is.

Enjoy!

What Makes You Happy Right Now?

In this episode, Stomping Jen joins me to drink gin and discuss the question, "What makes you happy right now?"

A Tail in the Face is Not That Exciting.

I recorded this episode with the kids, Stomping Jen (my wife), and my mother-in-law, about 10 weeks before she passed away following a long fight with cancer. After listening back, I am so grateful we did this. It was a fun, silly conversation that is emblematic of the good times we would have sitting around the table and just talking about whatever came to mind. In this episode, we chatted about:

• Pets.
• Reality T.V. Shows.
• Favorite desserts.
• Funnel cake vs. fried dough.
• and holidays.
