n this episode of A Most Unpredictable Life, Jeremy's back from a wedding in Maryland and a trip to Virginia to watch his son Noah graduate from Coast Guard EM 'A' School and earn his promotion to EM3. Terry's back from ten days in Greece with Kelly for their 40th anniversary — including two and a half hours in an Athens airport security line where he made friends with people from Israel, Barcelona, and Georgia. Then the Delorean points forward: freshman year at Illinois Tech, December 1992 through the summer of 1993. Smashing Pumpkins, the BMG Music Club, Jurassic Park, and the birth of the World Wide Web — watched in real time from inside a tech school on the VAX system playing MUDs. Brother Jason gets married in October — and their mom, who is a fugitive with a bench warrant in Ohio, shows up anyway because her son is getting married. Jeremy and his dad aren't speaking. Then Thanksgiving brings a quiet intervention courtesy of sister-in-law Deb, and a reconciliation that changes everything. Back on campus Second South becomes a brotherhood — board games, Diplomacy, and Matt Kelly destroying a chair. Randy drives a trunk full of aluminum cans to Michigan and funds the biggest party on campus. A giant snowman gets lit on fire. Jeremy almost gets kicked out. Jeremy's mom calls from jail with very specific instructions about a money order and a Wooster, Ohio return address. His stepdad Dave calls for ASVAB math help. And then it's summer — Airborne School, Fort Benning, Cadet C542, a sergeant who really did not appreciate the smiling, a room full of Sergeant Airbornes who thought Jeremy came to see the museum, and a glass Gatorade bottle that shattered red all over him. Wings and all. New episodes weekly. If you like the show, share it with one person — that's how this thing grows.

In Episode 2 of A Most Unpredictable Life, the roles flip. Jeremy Lewis was born in 1973 — so this time it's co-host Terry Lewis in the hot seat, walking us through an era Jeremy was too young to remember and his own teenage years working at Cedar Point. But this episode goes deeper than nostalgia. Jeremy traces the story all the way back to its real beginning — his mother, Karin. Adopted, she lost her adopted father at four years old, grew up playing with neighborhood girls who turned out to be her own biological sisters, and didn't learn the truth until she was twelve. She never found out who her real father was. It's a story that reveals where the unpredictability in Jeremy's life truly started — a generation before he was even born. From a full house on Church Street in Shreve, Ohio, to a family that came apart and reshaped itself, this is the origin chapter: the people, the losses, and the roots that made everything else possible. Some stories start when you're old enough to remember them. This one starts before that — and it just might make you want to ask your own family the questions while you still can.

Most Likely to Succeed? Nope. Most Athletic? Not even close. Most Unpredictable? Now THAT one they got right.

Welcome to Episode 1 of A Most Unpredictable Life — where Jeremy Lewis goes back to 1992, the year his classmates voted him Most Unpredictable and unknowingly named this entire podcast.

What does it look like to be sleeping on a lawn chair at 17, paying your own electric bill, with no roadmap — and earn a full-ride scholarship worth over $100,000 that same year? It looks like packing everything into a $500 car with no working windshield wipers and driving six hours alone to Chicago at 4 in the morning to start a brand new chapter.

From cruising Claremont Avenue in a '65 Mustang with the three amigos, to pulling into a Chicago parking lot and meeting a stranger who became a lifelong friend — 1992 was the year the story got going. If life has thrown you curveballs and you're figuring it out as you go — this one's for you. Keep turning the pages.
