Raff's Brain #53: Walk & Talk - Dogs, Math, Tech, Aging, Selfie Sticks, & MORE!

Welcome to another episode of Raff's Brain! Today, it’s a Walk and Talk episode where Rob Raffety explores the big questions in life while pacing through his backyard. Armed with a selfie stick, some new Bose headphones (are they even working?), and an Apple Watch, Rob dives into a stream-of-consciousness adventure you won’t want to miss.

Join Rob as he talks about:

• Conan the Dog’s Comeback Story: At 14 years old (that’s 98 in human years!), Conan just had surgery to remove a toe but is still as spry as ever. What can we learn from this indestructible pup?
• Dog Birthday Math: Can you celebrate a dog’s 100th birthday without knowing their actual birthday? Spoiler: math gets messy.
• The Art of Album Sequencing: Remember when listening to music meant experiencing a perfectly curated order of songs? Let’s reminisce.
• Cultural Nostalgia: From Who Shot J.R.? to the final episode of MASH, Rob reflects on the days of shared cultural moments.
• Everything Falls Apart: Cracked pool decks, broken lawn chairs, and the inevitability of wear and tear—what does it all mean?

This episode is a blend of humor, reflection, and musings on life’s little details. Whether you’re here for Conan’s comeback, Rob’s nostalgic deep dives, or his lawn furniture struggles, there’s something for everyone.

Key Topics: Bose headphones, selfie sticks, Conan the dog, backyard thoughts, cultural nostalgia, album sequencing, dog math, lawn furniture, cracked concrete, streaming culture.
