Deep dives
Dealing with Illness
Recovering from a recent bout with influenza A, the speaker reflects on how the flu affects him differently now that he's older. He humorously recalls being resilient in his youth, contrasting it with his current experience of feeling exhausted and unwell for ten consecutive days. This experience has prompted him to consider getting flu shots in the future, particularly as he noted a peculiar commercial featuring John Legend promoting vaccines while playing the piano. Despite feeling under the weather, he maintains a light-hearted perspective and shares his determination to push through the podcast.
Acquisition of a Motorcycle
The speaker excitedly discusses his recent purchase of a Harley Road Glide motorcycle, highlighting both the thrill and intimidation that comes with handling such a large bike. He acknowledges the expert assistance of Dean Delray, who helped him transport the bike to the airport and encouraged him to take riding classes for better mastery. Despite feeling nervous, the speaker is eager to learn and gradually build his confidence through practice and advanced riding techniques. Thanks to local connections like Greg Riley at El Patron Harley Davidson, he feels supported in this new venture.
Football Insights

As he shares his observations, he emphasizes the unpredictability of the season, recalling key plays that shaped the games, and notes how teams have performed unexpectedly, making it a challenging year for betting. He appreciates the evolution of USC’s team and the traditional styles that have defined college football.
Entertainment Recommendations
The speaker shares his recent viewing experiences while recuperating, particularly praising the series 'The Penguin' starring Colin Farrell for its compelling storytelling and Farrell's impressive performance. He offers insights into the character's complexity, describing the mix of despicability and relatability that makes him memorable. Additionally, he recommends 'Severance,' highlighting its gripping and eerie nature that drew him in emotionally.
