We start with a check engine light mystery and end up arguing about humanoid robots, military automation, and why redundancy exists when the stakes are high. Along the way, we bounce from O2 sensor voltage and OBD2 codes to SpaceX hype, Starlink reality, and a Costa Concordia lesson in how fast small errors become disasters. • P2270 downstream O2 sensor code and why it triggers anxiety • The strange truth that buying the part can “fix” the problem • A brief detour into trill...
After last episode's Pokémon deep dive, RJ decided somebody needed to man this podcast up — so naturally we're talking trucks. Specifically, the ranch fleet and the very distinct personality of each one. It starts with Ranch Force One hitting 203,000 miles and a check engine light coming on at the exact moment RJ was praising it out loud. From there it's the full truck biography: the Suburban's former life as a Celine Dion Uber Black in Colorado (yes, she sat in that seat), the cylinder eight...
For this shift Rob finally gets the floor, and he's using it to talk about the manliest thing a guy can do: collect Pokémon cards. After preloading his masculine credentials (football, wrestling, hunting, shooting — you're welcome), Rob breaks down his first big TCG expo at State Farm Stadium, the rabbit hole of Elite Trainer Boxes, Super Illustration Rares, and a Pokémon Center Evolving Skies ETB worth a thousand dollars. Then it's a rip sesh in the car with Brian, a Charizard EX Auto vs. a ...
We geek out over a Texas-based remote observatory that lets you run telescopes under dark skies from anywhere, and we can’t stop admiring how simple and scalable the setup is. Then we pivot into the oddly satisfying world of 35mm film, where fewer shots and more friction can actually make photography feel better. Starfront Observatories — the remote observatory model that's blowing up, and why RJ thinks it's the perfect jobTelescope ranching: piers, power, Ethernet, and 24/7 staff who'l...
We kick off the first run of Save It For Swing Shift by chasing two kinds of chaos: the grand opening of Arizona’s first Buc-ee’s and a very real QVC fixation that turns “background TV” into a shopping strategy. Along the way, we end up talking traffic control, brisket sandwiches, impulse buys, and why TikTok Live feels like QVC with a faster heartbeat. • Arizona’s first Buc-ee’s opening and why it becomes a local event • Police-managed detours and the four-mile loop to reach the ...
Set & Centered welcomes a new addition to the family lineup. You already know Rob — he's been mentioned more times than we can count and has guested on a couple of episodes — but now he's got his own mic and his own show with RJ: Save It for Swing Shift. It's what happens when two brothers in two different states finally stop saying "let's save it for the podcast" and just do it. This episode's the why. First full episode drops next.

Flash showed up uninvited, hit the mute button, presented his cat butt to RJ, and left like nothing happened. Oakley had opinions about the cats. Hartley chewed through wires on the Expedition that turned out to be fine, which is the only way that story was going to end well. Two Canadian gooseapuses used the pond as a rest stop during a storm and took off like seaplanes. Then RJ opened the stenopad. What followed was a full housekeeping audit of every topic ever written down and never discus...
Oakley, Finley, and Flash are all in the studio and none of them were invited. Spotify thinks Set & Centered listeners should also check out Calm Your Daily Stress and Handbag Designer 101, which we are choosing to take as a compliment. Mark wrote to Shania Twain from an aircraft carrier in 1994, she wrote back with autographed photos for the whole crew, and he found out the same day he took a catapult launch off the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Meanwhile: Cher held an entire naval vessel host...
