Keto Breath, Bolt-Cutter Blunders, and What Happens When the Kids Leave Home
Justin’s sardine-only diet, Colm’s suspicious bike rescue, and a real talk on marriage, middle age, and empty-nest syndrome.
What happens when your bike lock jams outside the 40 Foot and you have to walk back through Woody's with a pair of bolt cutters while wearing a helmet so you don't look like a thief? Colm Hayes opens this week's main show with another classic "Larry David moment," while Justin Caffrey details his week of extreme ketogenic eating—which involved eating nothing but sardines for three days straight.
The conversation quickly shifts to music nostalgia, covering Stevie Nicks’ iconic guitar riff on Edge of 17, Beth Orton's emotional new release The Ground Above, and the legendary studio documentary detailing how Fleetwood Mac made Rumours.
Later, the lads address a viral LinkedIn post written by Justin about raising children and navigating the "empty-nest" transition. When your kids leave for university, do you sit around waiting for them to visit, or do you completely reinvent your life and your marriage? The team dives into relationship dynamics, the myth of chasing non-stop happiness, and why living strictly "in the moment" might actually be overrated.
