Book club digs into The Celestine Prophecy and The 5 AM Club, then the conversation turns to whether work is an escape or the thing you're escaping from. A cryptic Don Trip tease leads into September 11 memories — where everyone was, and the albums that dropped that same day — before spiraling into middle school crushes and a full Tickle Me Elmo nostalgia trip.\nThe back half covers the Knockout Wings pop-up controversy and what it says about scaling a business without losing the recipe, a run through old Nashville restaurants everyone wants back, upcoming 5K race season (Titans and Predators back-to-back), a full ranking of Lito's unreleased \"100 I Shoot\" and \"What Was I Thinking\" catalog — plus a first listen to a brand new unreleased verse — and it closes out with shadow work on comparison as the thief of joy.\n⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:\n00:00 🎙️ Intro\n01:38 🏫 First Day of School & Being a Parent vs. a Kid\n17:52 📚 Book Club — Celestine Prophecy & The 5 AM Club\n23:20 🎭 Is Work Your Escape?
