About this episode

Jen and John discuss finding direction while sharing local vibes and personal anecdotes.

Jen and John regale us with some more local vibes and do a fair job mixing metaphors around finding direction. John is very heart-happy and talkative in this episode, mostly because of https://reel-big-fish.com/news/ Reel Big Fish's reunion announcement. Open question to the Lombard Park District; "When you planted those tulips, did you just dig a level amount down then scatter a shit-ton of bulbs then cover it with the requisite amount of dirt?" [Ed. The sensory nodes in the nose are called "olfactory organs". The song John was incorrectly referring to is "I know you too well to like you anymore" from Reel Big Fish's stellar release "Candy-Coated Fury". White/silver hair has no natural UV resistance and is highly susceptible to sun damage.] #findTheDirection #garibaldis #nostalgiaSells #northParkMall #bartlettPointeGarageSale #lilaciaParkLombard #lombardParkDistrict #rushMedical #smellBetter #greySweatpants #peopleOfWalmart #reelBigFish #vansWarpedTour #ginBlossoms #iKnowYouTooWellToLikeYouAnymore #candyCoatedFury #serenityPrayer #bubbaTheSalcutaTortoise #thePitt #googleMaps #silverInHerForties #outtakesFromTheGarage #mentalHealthMatters
