This one feels a little different.

In this episode, Kevin and Jamie sit down for what will be the last episode of 2 Clicks in a Pod... for now. There’s no big announcement or perfectly wrapped ending. Just an honest conversation about time, family, distance, and what this podcast has meant to their relationship.

They reflect on how committing to regular conversations created space for deeper connection, how quickly life moves, and why pressing pause feels right in this season. Along the way, they talk about forgiveness, gratitude, and not taking the people you love for granted.

This episode is a thank-you, a reflection, and a closing of this chapter with a lot of appreciation for everyone who listened, reached out, and shared these conversations with others.

“If my brain doesn’t think it’s about to die, I’m not fully alive.”

Kevin and Jamie talk with Jake Parrish about growing up in East Texas, learning hard skills early, and spending years in oil and gas work where attention, precision, and risk were part of everyday life. Jake shares what it was like welding pipelines across Texas, living on the road, and navigating a career where experience is earned the hard way.

When a shift to remote work brought him back home, it also reopened a door he thought was closed — the door to wakeboarding. Jake walks through returning to board sports after years away, competing again, traveling internationally, and eventually helping bring a sanctioned wakeboarding event back to East Texas.

This conversation is about work ethic, adrenaline, identity, and what happens when you choose a path that keeps you engaged instead of settling into autopilot.

“Nobody wants to be fooled — we all want to know if what we believe actually holds water.”

Kevin and Jamie talk with Todd Brimm — Army and Navy veteran, retired police detective, instructor, and theologian — about belief, evidence, and the questions people wrestle with at different points in life. They get into what led him to write “Does God Exist?”, how his background shaped the way he examines information, and why he decided to challenge his own assumptions the same way he would evaluate a case.

The conversation moves through worldview, bias, scientific culture, and the human search for meaning, all through Todd’s lens of lived experience rather than theory.
