After a solo trip to the Windy City, David and Eugene discuss how they would structure solo travel, why David doesn’t feel alone on such trips, and how (if at all!) Eugene’s extroverted self would manage. We also reflect on our childhoods living in Chicago and some of the tough choices our parents had to make at the time. As always, thanks for listening!

"I miss everything about Chicago, except January and February." —Gary Cole

Finding a job is not easy. Like learning to drive while driving, there’s a learning curve to how to find employment, which you need to climb while applying to job openings. There’s also a mental health aspect to unemployment that often goes under appreciated, as well as the need to still feel creative and productive. In this episode, David and Eugene have an honest conversation about Eugene’s recent experience looking for work and also discuss the practical and concrete steps that he found most helpful in his job search. (Note we recorded this episode earlier this year and since then Eugene has happily been employed.) As always, thanks for listening!

Did you know that 30-40 million Americans have arachnophobia? And among them is one of the two of us? In this episode, David and Eugene review the somewhat obscure 1990 “thrill-omedy” Arachnophobia. We discuss what turns out to be our very different memories of how this movie showed up in our childhoods, whether this Jeff Daniels, John Goodman film holds up decades later, and what it was like to experience the movie again in real time. As always, thanks for watching!
