The Conversations Nobody Wants to Have | Full Auto Friday | 8.21.2026

Four questions this week...

An F-18 simulator is going into the coffee shop sometime in September. I don't know why either. Carrier landing competition to follow.

The opener is about reaching the age where you become the caregiver for your parents. Medical directives, DNRs, wills, trusts, and why the hard conversation needs to happen before you need it.

A 33-year-old sold everything, traveled the world for eight months, and came home with no next goal. I never had a plan either. Not knowing what comes next is fine. Being paralyzed by it is not.

A guy got promoted over his best friend of 22 years and won't have the conversation that could save that man's career and a large payout. What you allow in your presence is your standard.

Someone asked why I haven't covered the killing of Staff Sergeant Logan Melgar. Straight answer on what I make and what I don't.

And a listener found out his wife spent a year with a coworker. He is trying to save the marriage. I could not do what he is doing.
