We attempt to start season two of We Need to Talk again, this time with a renewed sense of motivation. Things start a little rough as we get back into the groove, but we quickly find our footing among the psychological weeds of making the right choices, and how we can make better choices.
Evan: You spend nights and Fridays and drinks and car rides to their house and the bar and the shuttling to and back and it’s all supposed to be fun, and so little of it is fun.
Dan: Well that just sounds like life, but you have to have the right attitude toward life, too.
Music in this episode from Ergo Phizmiz, Tours, and Jahzzar.

Season two of We Need to Talk begins with a discussion on motivation. We can become complacent, adrift, and lazy. How do we reverse this? Apply advice to all wounds, projects, and relationships.
Evan: I’ll look at the dishes. I’ll say this is a 10 minute job. I don’t have hot water in my sink, so I have to boil water. Kind of a bummer. And that’s another thing, I could talk to my landlord about the water not working in my sink. I don’t do it.
This episode includes special guest Quigley, who is available for adoption.

We’re back with our friend Sean, a guy who makes friends with the person deemed his greatest enemy by OKCupid, who attends a dance marathon not knowing a soul, and who makes a mean pie. Look for the follow up episode, coming soon, that details how to make a pie just as well as he does. Look for a tissue, soon, to dab your eyes after listening.
Sean: I like to look at people that are complete strangers to me, because usually we go through our lives passing by so many people and they’re just background characters, they’re just extras.
Evan: We’re extras too.
Dan: I’m not.
