In this episode of You’re Still Doin’ That?—The Rethink, Matt dives into the beautiful chaos of summer: hauling kids, repairing decks, and squeezing in anniversary dates between job drop-offs and coffee runs. He reflects on 23 years of marriage with Crissy—what that looks like in the real world—and shifts gears into a powerful rant about our broken political system.

Why do we keep electing self-serving leaders? Why are billions being stripped from public education? And what would Mr. Rogers say?

This week’s highlights:

• Sophie finally gets her license
• Ollie’s car still isn’t fixed 😤
• Owen’s growing up (maybe?)
• 23 years of love, phones, and burgers
• The $6 billion education heist
• A rant about power, money, and choosing better leaders
