Putting this on the Monday Show feed mainly because we think it would be a good fit for a lot of you. Ethan is pretty special to Carter and I, and seeing him hit his stride, publish his own book, and reach for the future is a blast to watch. I hope many of you will check his book out, and I hope you hear this interview and gain some confidence in what his generation might accomplish.

We talked about a recent Vegas trip where we saw Deadmau5 up close. I got offered drugs twice, got groped, and realized I might be a “genre of man.” The visuals and sound were incredible, and mom loved it. Scott also accidentally locked our dog and cat in a kennel together for hours—no injuries, just awkward. We talked about Squid Game season 3, horror games vs. movies, and Nick’s ridiculous art talent he refuses to use. Scott discovered a tattooed dog, ranted about overpriced Vegas booths, shared tips for navigating crowds, and recommended two documentaries: Poop Cruise and Pharrell’s Lego doc from Carter.
