Spring Break 2019!!! Are you ready for SUN? Are you ready to PARTY? Are you ready to mourn the death of a loved one?! GREAT! We're watching Mamma Mia Here We Go Again! Our heroes Evan & Erica continue their mission of saving the future by heading down to Greece to be guest judges in a Mamma Mia singing competition! Much like Spring Break, Mamma Mia 2 at first glance comes off as a doofy, corny romp with ZERO emotional content, HOWEVER, by the end you'll be a HOT MESS of tears, regrets, and probably have a tattoo you don't remember getting. Still not convinced Mamma Mia 2 is a sad movie? THAT'S FINE! ABBA super fans, Evan & Erica will spend the next 52 minutes of their live trying to change your mind! So TAKE A CHANCE ON FRY AND CRY!
This is probably the most consistently mellow set I've done for Warm Focus- relaxed to the point of verging on ambient or new age at times.

TOPIC: Gut Churn, Pointing Arrows, and Recognizing Change This week, Dan and Merlin talk at length about a recent article by Radiolab's Jad Abumrad, called, "The Terrors & Occasional Virtues of Not Knowing What You’re Doing." From the genesis of Radiolab through casting about for what comes next, Jad's article reads like a Greatest Hits of Back to Work. Just terrific. It all comes down to working through the times you don't know what you're doing and making, then accepting that—even once you do know—you still have to push through change and evolution. Working through the fear to make something awesome? Well. That's Fine for Jad Abumrad.
TOPIC: Motivation, Hardware Stores, and Fighting the Last War This week, Dan and Merlin talk about motivation—how it changes, how it doesn't, and how it can be fueled by anxiety and cognitive dissonance. There is also discussion of Merlin's pear tart problem, the challenge of the engineering triangle, and, yeah, a new t-shirt That's Fine for Merlin.
