Here’s a little episode about “Self-help”. I read an article (with the author’s permission of course) by Kyle Thiermann about the book, “Atomic Habits”. Amazingly, it isn’t about microscopic nuns, but rather about getting your shit together, one minuscule step at a time. I also read you a letter from our pal in Alaska, Nate Atwood. Nate is in deep prep-mode for the Alaskan winter, all while battling the effects of 30 years of undiagnosed Lyme disease. Come for the stories, stay for the music, and learn how to get any horrible jingle out of your head with a simple trick I’ve been using for decades! Share and enjoy!

As Pliny the Elder never said, “To live is to ramble!” Dr. Uncle Chris Ryan stopped by our temporary home in Larkspur for a visit; before he left, we took a little time to record this delightful free-form conversation. Pelé and I might technically be the guests in this one, but you get lots of Chris here as well! If you somehow know who we are and don't know who Chris is, well, I don't know how that happened. However, I recommend you take a moment to check out his fantastic podcast, Tangentially Speaking, or one of his books - Civilized to Death, or Sex at Dawn.
