Summary

This week's Full Auto Friday is a return to listener questions and some uncomfortable but necessary conversations. We talk about the fine line between being tough and being stupid, how to deal with shame and guilt after a DUI, what it actually looks like to keep moving forward when you can't see any progress, and how to reconcile regret over military service in today's political climate. This isn't about excuses, self-pity, or rewriting the past—it's about ownership, perspective, and doing the next right thing even when motivation is gone and the path forward isn't clear.

0:18.7	Good morning, everybody.
0:55.7	Welcome back. Some changes, obviously behind me being the biggest one for those of you who are video as opposed to just audio only. Studio got upgraded. Pretty thorough upgrade. And there's two angles for the camera that I can use here. One is the closer one and this one's a little bit farther away. I figured I'd go with the farther away one because then people can check it out. Kind of see what's behind me. There is going to be a studio tour at some point, not some dramatic full long video, but at least I'll put something up so people can take a look at the new digs because they've been asking about it.
0:58.8	And a bunch of people reached out, the last two Fridays.
1:00.4	Oh, my goodness.
1:08.4	There were guest episodes instead of Q&A, which, by the way, I really enjoy doing the Q&A, so it's definitely not going away. The issue was I had some episodes that were filmed
1:11.4	prior to the upgrade of the studio. And I wanted to clean out the backlog of those. So when I had
1:19.2	Rob on, who was the first guest in the new studio, everything going forward from that
1:23.8	looked the same instead of bouncing back and forth. So I'm not going anywhere.
1:27.7	I got my, it's early in the morning. Got a fresh carafe of coffee that is made. Fresh one, ready to go.
1:36.0	Q&A wait in front of me. I don't know how many you get through. I think I have five or six
