Dubious Intent

Daniel and Adam kick off August with a classic advice session: Daniel is weighing a major car decision—should he keep his beloved but pricey F-150, or trade it in for a shiny new Chevy Equinox EV (and should he lease or buy)? Adam and the chatroom chime in with practical advice, but the real joy is in the wild detours: tales of tight garages, giant truck woes, and the prospect of a “throbbing three-car garage.” Daniel also asks for crowd-sourced wisdom on neighborly dog poop etiquette and the mysterious urgency of turning 59 and a half, as both hosts navigate the weird world of financial planning and the realities of aging.The advice train keeps rolling in the Contact segment, with listeners weighing in on everything from stable diffusion AI to California’s garbage strikes, fundraising etiquette, and how to get top dollar for a used truck (without becoming a used car salesman).

Meanwhile, Adam returns from a whirlwind trip to Scotland, regaling Daniel with stories of white-knuckle driving on the “wrong” side of the road, run-ins with overly helpful Kias, and lessons in Scottish geography (including why “Inverness” means what it does).Travel woes and culture shocks give way to a whiskey distillery adventure, complete with overpriced taxis, arbitrary “danger lines,” and a crash course in barley anatomy. Adam and Daniel muse on the mysteries of whiskey tasting and swap thoughts on the finer points of smoky vs. sweet spirits—ultimately agreeing that sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar (even when it’s whiskey). The duo dig into tech talk, AI industry hype, and t

This week, Daniel welcomes special guest co-host Darwin (Rodan’s husband) for a fresh take on the show’s signature blend of candid conversation and quirky humor.
