What if the most powerful thing you could offer someone wasn’t advice or solutions—but just your presence?

In this episode, Cody and Jesse catch up with their good friend Scott Sommer, an FBI chaplain who shares wild, heartfelt, and sometimes hilarious stories from his years of showing up in the hardest moments. From a parking ticket that launched a career to sitting with people as they take their final breaths, Scott reminds us that being there matters more than having the right words. You'll walk away seeing grief, courage, and real love through a whole new lens. It’s a raw, hopeful, and surprisingly funny conversation about what truly matters—and why simply being there can change everything.

Stuck in traffic, Jesse French and Chris Bruno find themselves in an impromptu driving school deep in the mountains—complete with snark, humor, and life lessons. From the art of parallel parking to the non-negotiable skill of driving a manual, Chris lays out his four tenets of responsible driving (and maybe life itself). Along the way, they explore the unexpected connection between making decisions and embracing the reality that every choice requires saying no to something. As frustration mounts and patience is tested, the conversation shifts to the deeper meaning of ownership—whether it’s behind the wheel or in everyday life. So buckle up for a hilarious, thought-provoking ride through standstill traffic and the choices that shape us.
