68 - Porta-Potties and Personal Growth

We kick things off by putting the raw milk subscription out of its misery, then get into cave talk, race prep, and the kind of pre-event problem solving that makes us stare into the middle distance like haunted farm equipment. JibJab joins the Mid-State Mile lineup as the porta-potty sponsor, which naturally leads to poop videos, “King of the Throne” jokes, and the uncomfortable possibility of Jon becoming the official face of bathroom activities. We also cover getting the spring-water system working, finishing the new arena setup, last-minute trail work, and the pressure of making the race experience better without turning it into something fake or overproduced. We wrap things up with a fallen hollow tree becoming an accidental sermon on influencers, integrity, and why looking impressive means nothing if the inside is rotted out.
