Turning This Car Around

First we check our underwear before checking in on camp experiences. Here's the last ride you'll ever love, it's the rollercoaster of death. It's no DeathCoaster. The story of a retired nurse who decided to end her life while healthy in her 70s inspires us to talk about end-of-life planning. Speaking of camp, Wet, Hot American Summer is nuts. Our thanks this week to Mack Weldon...

This week we talk about REAL ESTATE. We hate to be the ones to deliver this news but Ann Rule has passed away. Moltz recommends this recipe for pork, onion and chili pepper stir fry. Big news: The Midroll has been acquired by Scripps and we aren't all rich because of this. One of us has more money, but probably isn't rich as far as we know. Somehow this is an excuse for us to discuss Shomer Shabbat. Lex's daughter enjoyed her first Weird Al Yankovic concert. Follow us: @ttcashow...

It's summer and we all wish we had machines that spray on sunscreen. If you open your mouth in the machine you can be shiny and chrome. Jon and Lex speak fondly of Global Entry, if you know what I mean. Moltz saw Mad Max: Fury Road while his family was away. Good movie, not for kids, really. Lex talks about the Kidz Bop version of Honey, I'm Good. Lex and Jon obliquely discuss Inside Out because Moltz hasn't seen it. Moltz has canceled his beach trip but it's not because of tsunamis...

Moltz is recovering from his first night with the wife and son away so please be respectful and listen to this episode quietly. We spend a bit of time discussing whether or not college is worth it. Here is a link to a piece that discusses the same thing. Our advertiser sprays you in the face with a firehose of great magazine and one of them is an issue of Entrepreneur featuring Turning This Car Around's very own Alexander Freedmund...

This week we talk about Jon's family vacation and Moltz's week alone as Lex slides in and out of our space/time continuum. Jon is back from a week of driving the 2015 Ford Transit XL. And vacation. He also saw Circus Smirkus and recommends it. Jon and Lex both recommend Inside Out. Moltz may go see it on his own. His son isn't keen on animated movies these days but still wants to go to Legoland. Follow us: @ttcashow...

This episode was recorded a few weeks back but it's about summer plans so it's a good time for a gut check. Jon recommends sea-bands for car sickness. Aren't those car-bands? Lex's family is going to Dutch Wonderland and Hershey Park. The Dutch Wonderland dragon may be a ripoff of Figment. Later in the year, Lex's kids may go to an indoor water park like Great Wolf Lodge but not Great Wolf Lodge, Aquatopia. A large part of the episode is about sneaking booze onto cruises...

This week we talk about Father's Day and so much more. We all agree that the guitar solo is a lost art. For Father's Day, Jon and Moltz were both planning on going to the movies, Mad Max: Fury Road and Jurassic World, respectively. Lex expected to get an Eagles-related gift...

This week we talk about the sacrifices parents make. First, as some FU, Jon and Moltz's ideas for a reboot of The Rockford Files was favorited by Jim Garner's daughter. Moltz sacrificed being at the live episode of The Talk Show at WWDC. Jon discusses a study showing younger siblings are more likely to be gay which has probably been debunked since then. Lex bought his kids a refurbished iPad mini because he loves them. Jon's girls play Goat Simulator and Moltz is Goat Simulator-curious...

This week we talk about middle school. Sometimes a kid in middle school might have to spend a night in the box. Middle schools may have dress codes and sometimes they're ridiculous. Moltz's son had to learn that a school report should not be written in the style of E. E...

Lex is away so we talk about summer television and movie-watching. Or something like that. First we talk about illness and how Moltz can't see Felix the Cat or Heckle and Jeckle. Jon and Moltz both fondly remember General Hospital's heyday. Both of their moms were into As The World Turns. Jon and Moltz were both a little weirded out by Mr. Roger's Neighborhood even though the man was a saint. Have you seen the Thriller video? Talk about cultural touchstones. Which is what we're doing...
