Austin reflects on his immersive 17-day Japan trip—navigating Golden Week crowds, Michelin-starred dining, high-tech toilets, and serene onsen moments—while still recovering from jet lag and a bout of COVID. Jamie opens up about starting hormone therapy, including the practicalities of testosterone pellet insertion, monitoring side effects, and balancing self-care with family life. Their conversation weaves in broader themes: the Farm 12 school’s record-breaking disco auction funding expansion; how screen overuse masks developmental and behavioral shifts in kids—and why swapping a Nintendo Switch for a mountain bike transformed one boy’s demeanor. They also touch on digital-age parenting tensions, Gen Alpha’s emerging habits, and the quiet power of embodied experiences. Throughout, both emphasize intentionality—whether choosing a Tokyo ramen stall, advocating for health clarity, or showing up exhausted but present for Mother’s Day in Whistler.
