• S5 Ep12: What Did You Want To Be When You Grew Up?
    Mar 28 2026

    In the final episode of Season 5 we are happy to introduce you to 91-year-old Silent Generation Betty. She joins millennial Chris and our regulars Gen X Dar and not so Silent Bob to talk about what did you want to be when you grew up and what did you end up doing.

    This episode starts with Chris wanting to be an ice cream truck man, then Betty a doctor, then Dar to eradicate homelessness and finally Bob a weatherman. However, what was fascinating was each person's transition to other career dreams and where we all actually ended up.

    Fate works in mysterious ways and sometimes life comes full circle and you end up doing something different from what you thought you wanted to do, but that still encompasses the essence of what you wanted.
