The Cost of a Free Breakfast
Can a nearly free hot dog lead to a cart full of groceries? A return trip through Albuquerque explores loss leaders, complimentary breakfasts, and the small habits that quietly pass from one generation to the next.
Season 2
Till Death Us Don’t Part
What happens after a couple ties the knot? A family wedding, a baby’s bedtime, and a temple sealing explore marriage expressions and the ordinary work behind lasting relationships.
Having a Ball as Time Flies By
How can a full day disappear so quickly? A board game, time with friends, and a cast party show why time flies when you’re having fun and what it means to have a ball.
A Brand New Day for the Kid in Me
What can make a childhood passion suddenly feel new again? A return to the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man brings out the kid in Tayvin and offers a closer look at the idea of your inner child.
The Dark Horse in a Black Box
A small theater, a retelling of King David, and a production that deserved a much larger audience. Tayvin explores David versus Goliath and dark horse, two expressions about underestimated people, surprising strength, and the roles power can make us play.
Begging for a Second Look
A two-minute trailer, an ancient story, and a crowd of critics who had already made up their minds. Tayvin explores “don’t judge a book by its cover,” why English speakers bend familiar idioms, and what we miss when first impressions become final.
Old Friends, New Harmonies
A concert, an old friendship, and two expressions for looking back: walking down memory lane and recognizing a blast from the past. Tayvin revisits early singing memories and the friends who unexpectedly brought them back to life.
Full Plates and Fuller Bowls
Two goals shape every Utah visit: make time for friends, and make room for an unreasonable bowl of chili cheese fries. Tayvin explores what it means to have a lot on your plate, and when a full schedule becomes more than you can chew.
When Pigs Drive Minivans
Tayvin once swore he would never own a minivan, not for all the tea in China, and certainly not before pigs learned to fly. This week he drove one off the dealership lot on purpose, and happily. Two ways of saying never, and a gentle reminder of how often life proves that never wrong.
Breaking Down the Bright Side
A cross-country road trip, a car that quits at 80 miles per hour, and four hours stranded on the shoulder with a baby in the back seat. Tayvin on two phrases that turn a bad day around: what it means when things break down, and how choosing where to look changes everything.
