Tron and Randy are back to preview Pebble Beach! They do a bit a housekeeping (huge night in the NBA, Kings and Jazz especially!) before getting to their guest this week, Joann Dost. Joann is a longtime Monterey-area resident, former professional golfer, and one of the most prominent golf photographers in the world. She has great first-hand knowledge of the charms and intricacies of the Monterey Peninsula, as well as incredible stories about her first start in professional golf in Australia, moving out to the west coast, hanging with Ansel Adams, and so much more. Her passion and knowledge is unparalleled. Enjoy!

After a bit of house-cleaning in the beginning of the episode (major news in the Grocery Wars!), TC and Randy make the decision to eschew one desert in favor of another on this week's preview episode. For help, they bring in very special guest, Mr. Cody, to ask all about KSA. Cody is a man with a very particular set of skills who has spent quite a bit of time in the region and shares his experiences and insights about the people, the culture, the Royal Family, Vision 2030, and how average Westerners can approach the topic of Saudi Arabia in general. We should note, as part of preparation for this conversation, we all watched Bryan Fogel's new film, "The Dissident", which is available now on Apple TV. For anybody curious it's an enthralling examination of the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. Enjoy!

We are a tad late this week, but appreciate your patience. As you'll hear, it was truly a fluid situation this week for our very special guest. That guest, Brad Milburn, is a San Diego resident and former Navy SEAL. The military brought him to San Diego several years ago so we pick his brain about living out on the West Coast. From beaches to tacos, and everything in-between, this is a really fun conversation. Also, of course we ask Brad about what it was like training to be a SEAL. Enjoy!

(Note: Brad gives a shout out to Seal Future Foundation towards the end of the episode. They are a great organization providing Navy SEALS support and resources to transition from service into their communities. If you're so inclined, you can find more information at

We can't thank Jerry enough for his time and insights, and hope listeners are able to gain a better understanding of the current landscape. Enjoy!
