Episode 13 starts off exactly how you’d expect from us.

We somehow open on Friday the 13th even though it isn’t Friday the 13th, talk about Pi Day, celebrate one full year of playing chess badly, and try to figure out what’s actually wrong with Taco’s elbow after the doctor basically said “good luck.”

Then the conversation shifts.

We get into near-death moments, getting older, and what changes when something serious reminds you that you’re not guaranteed another day. Taco tells the story of the car accident that almost killed him and his kids, what it was like sitting in the hospital afterward, and the moment it really hit him that things could have gone very differently.

From there we talk about trauma, comparing experiences, bouncing back from hard situations, and why people downplay what they’ve been through even when they shouldn’t.

Somewhere in between all that we also talk about turning 30, having kids someday, the name Luna Riot, building a home office setup, 3D printers, thrifting trips around eastern North Carolina, and why this office is finally starting to feel like ours.

It’s funny, honest, and one of those episodes that ended up deeper than we planned when we hit record.
