This conversation is a wild ride. We jump from parenting challenges and custody chaos to the absurdities of child support and how child protection services sometimes miss the memo. Then, out of nowhere, we’re debating legends like Elvis and Michael Jackson 🎸🕺 — and even spotlighting a local Aussie artist with a banger about traffic control (yes, traffic control).

We also dive head-first into:

• Music and song picks 🎧
• The uncanny world of AI voice synthesis
• What to do if you ever find yourself homeless — survival tips included
• And the joys of camping and cooking outside around a fire 🍳🔥

Along the way the hosts share hilarious and heartfelt takes on music, how AI is shaking up creation, real talk about homelessness, and practical wisdom on camping grub that might just save your next trip.

It’s equal parts deep, silly, surprising, and downright useful — like a road trip with your funniest friends and a philosophical detour.
