    Send us Fan Mail On this episode of Out Loud with Rob & Rachel, the conversation starts with a Starburst… and somehow turns into a full discussion about aging, bad dental work, analog life, parenting, phones, e-bikes, resilience, and why people seem desperate to reconnect with the real world again. Rachel tells the story of literally ripping part of her tooth out with candy, while Rob and Rachel spiral into memories of old school dentists, gas station habits, bike riding as kids, and how today’s generation may finally be rediscovering life outside.

Other topics include chemo brain, loud families, terrible handwriting, Apple Watch hacks, Mahjong culture getting commercialized, sourdough influencers, fake Instagram followers, gas prices, and the strange little habits Gen X still carries around decades later. As always, it’s funny, chaotic, honest, and completely ADHD fueled.  Support the show
