This episode started as a continuation of a series — and then it shifted.

What began as reflections on small, everyday interactions slowly turned into something deeper: a conversation about irritation, presence, and the moments that ask more of us than we planned to give.

In this episode, I talk through why Parts Two and Three of The Face ended up living in the same space, and what happens when humor gives way to awareness. Not answers. Not solutions. Just noticing what these moments might be teaching us — even when we don’t feel ready for the lesson.

This one wandered a bit. And maybe it needed to.

Thanks for listening.

Just something I was thinking about.

In Part One of a three-part series, Andy talks about “The Face” — that unexplainable thing that causes complete strangers to tell him their entire life story in grocery lines, gas stations, churches, and anywhere else he’s just trying to mind his business. Funny, relatable, and unexpectedly meaningful, this episode looks at oversharing, human connection, and the stories people carry with them.

Somewhere between the third meme and the 47th “recommended for you,” I realized I didn’t even know what I was looking for. In this episode, I’m taking a lighthearted look at doom-scrolling, distraction, and the strange comfort of getting lost online. If you’ve ever said “one more scroll” and lied to yourself… this one’s for you.
