Yeah, we were supposed to talk about being a grown-up, and we sort of did? But we're a live podcast and sometimes things go wild and really off topic because we aren't scripted and we interact with listeners. So, yeah, that happened.

We also made a ton of shameless plugs for Stubhy. Why? Because he is brilliant and talented and kind and that's a pretty power combination.
