If losing your keys isn’t bad enough backseaters, have you ever lost that tiny allen key that your DIY life depends on in the heat of an Ingatorp build?!

And would you believe it we get into a whole lot more than that today on the show giving unexpected credits to Nickelback and Creed, What animals we’d like to be, seeing Brandi Carlile and P!nk in concert, the La Mesa Oktoberfest, and more.

266: Why Would Anyone Grow Up?
Backseaters, enjoy doing nothing back there but listening, while the adults up here manage the key fob location, keep our eyes on the road, 10 and 2, and keep the wheels on the road. Needless to say Dustin would rather be coasting through his late 30’s but alas, adulting calls. Regardless of what we say we’ll discuss, we do actually discuss Dustin’s weekend throwing his first itch at the Mariners game, attending funerals, Mel reorganizing the house, the woes of adulthood, and why there is nothing wrong with having ADHD.
Enjoy the show!
