We set a new two‑a‑week plan, share a Valentine’s date at Waffle House that turns into a masterclass in urgency, and unpack Universe 25 to ask why abundance alone can’t keep a society alive. Heavy news gets a pause while we focus on what actually holds a community together.

• why we’re spacing releases to avoid stale takes
• lessons from watching Waffle House teamwork up close
• tipping quirks and friction in small systems
• media throttling claims and why we wait on fast news
• Santa in February and the pull of habit
• Universe 25 setup, findings, and limits
• personal space, social roles, and behavioral sink
• lifespan context and why design still matters
• teasing a future DB Cooper deep dive
• loss, health costs, and life when plans collapse

Check us out. We’re gonna try and do two a week now

We pick up after a long break with a cozy room switch, a too‑long “not‑quite‑Christmas” tree, and a debate over streaming bloat that leads to a sobering story about a killer elephant and the trade‑offs of conservation. Along the way we kayak on Christmas, spot bald eagles, and care for aging pets with equal parts worry and love.

• shifting from cold living room to a warmer podcast room
• leaving the light‑only tree up and why it feels right
• mounting TVs and trusting the wall bracket
• cutting services and fighting clunky streaming guides
• kayaking on Christmas and watching winter wildlife
• hearing and spotting bald eagles near the lake
• Coco’s health scare and the realities of senior pets
• single‑tusk elephant rampage and human–wildlife conflict
• drones, tracking, and safety vs conservation trade‑offs
• tease for next story about 22 cars in a circle
• how a stuck‑cat video outperformed everything online
• invite for comments and questions through podcast apps

“Check us out everywhere. If you go to TikTok and go to this, that, another podcast, I’ve kind of taken over that account with fish videos… There is a texting option when you listen to this… ask us a question, give us a comment, give us an idea.”

• two podcasts, time costs, and burnout risk
• catfish feeding lives, spikes to 26k viewers, retention
• mixing hobbies with the podcast brand on one account
• TikTok algorithm timing and late-night peaks
• are phones listening and how suggestions shape behavior
• fallback content plans when the lake season ends
• marriage micro-battles: clothes, ice, leftovers limits
• eating out vs groceries, apps, deals, and church dinners
