The WET Playground 2.0

Listen to the full podcast: https://bit.ly/SKMPWET I flew a plane through a thunderstorm when I was thirteen years old. My dad was asleep in the seat next to me, and all I wanted to do was get back to my Game Boy. That story is in here, and so is the story of losing him this year and how three guys who love you show up for that. This one's with the WET crew — Marcus, Justin, and Phil — the closest thing I have to a second podcast family, and we did what we always do: start with 2026 predictions, end up somewhere completely different. Grief, sobriety, growing up wealthy then broke, family alcoholism, and why business is the closest thing I have to art. We also talk about lookmaxxing streamers, the Genghis Khan gene, purchasing power parity, and enough unhinged tangents to make you forget we started with a squirrel attack. That's the show. It's chaos with a spine.
