About this episode
James discusses his cancer prognosis and reflects on two years of full-time travel while sharing experiences from Cedar Rapids and the Badlands.
James opens this episode by telling us he's already been given a ten year prognosis, and instead of dressing it up, he just says it plain: none of us are getting out of here alive. We're just off three weeks living inside our friends' lives in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and James spent part of that stretch in New Hampshire saying goodbye to a friend he'd known his whole life. He came back with a cancer prognosis sitting differently in him than it did a year and a half ago, and we talk about it plainly before we ever say good morning. Then we're in the Badlands of South Dakota, boondocking for free at a spot called Nomad's Lane, watching Norman have a standoff with a pronghorn while Bella chases it and loses badly. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, we realize we're rounding out two years of doing this life exactly the way we dreamed it. What You'll Hear in This Episode: - Why James opens this episode talking about his own cancer prognosis and a friend's death, not as a downer, but as the whole point - What three weeks actually living inside friends' lives in Cedar Rapids, Iowa looked like (T-ball games, water parks, and a borrowed driveway) - The excuses we all reach for instead…
