The conversation starts as a joke about pie, but it quickly turns into something more honest: how we make choices when time feels shorter and our bodies do not cooperate like they used to. We talk about the “free pie versus good pie” mindset, and how that same logic can sneak into everything from relationships to goals, especially when you tell yourself you will get serious “later.” We also get weirdly specific about words like “best” and “top priority,” because those labels are not just grammar, they’re commitments. 

From there, we get into regrets and unfinished dreams that still have a pulse. Eddie talks about wanting an acting role, not for attention, but for the chance to step outside himself for a while. Joe admits how easy it is to buy the gear, imagine the hobby, and never put in the time, whether it’s guitar, ukulele, or any creative skill that demands patience. We also hit the real-life constraints: arthritis, injuries, fear, and that mental math we do to talk ourselves out of trying. 

Then we move into swimming and fear of water, and how embarrassment and comparison can freeze a goal for decades. On the flip side, running becomes a story about momentum, mental clarity, and chasing races from a 10K to a half marathon to the New York City Marathon, plus a detour into marathon history and why 26.2 miles is such a strangely specific distance. We wrap with bucket list travel dreams like India and Egypt and the hard questions around cost and safety.
