Avoiding the Comparison Trap

John comes in second place A LOT and tries his best to look menacing on his way to Walgreens. Meanwhile, Jonnie eats way too many caramels and learns that the most highly ranked restaurants are also selling car parts.

Plus, a conversation about the trap of comparison and how to enjoy the one life you've been given. We make a lot of resolutions this time of year, things we plan to do... but is there anything you ought to "undo" as the new year begins?

Today's episode is NOT sponsored by Hearing Tests: "Stop us if you've heard this one..."

Avoiding the Comparison Trap in Your Career (Plus Missed Opportunities & Fingerless Gloves)

John can't sleep unless there’s noise and tries to remember math so he can help with his daughter's homework. Meanwhile, Jonnie almost has a heat stroke at a stranger's house in Phoenix and reveals what the "I've fallen and can't get up" lady was paid for her iconic commercial performance.

Plus, a conversation about childlike wonder, and fighting the tendency to project our own cynicism onto God.

Today's episode is NOT sponsored by Carrot Cake: "We found a way to make vegetables 3,000 calories per serving.”

The boys are joined by dear friend and documentary producer Alyson Holland to talk about her new project on Ronald Reagan. John forgets what generation he is in and ponders the last time we had Aly as a guest and almost burned their friendship to the ground. 

Meanwhile, Jonnie decides he is exactly as famous as he ever wants to be and wonders whether the world’s longest hotdog was even edible. 

Plus, a discussion about a timely quote from the late Tim Keller about the gospel.
