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.

Dar and Bob are joined by semi-regular Millennial Chris and returning Baby Boomer Bob H. Discussion includes healthy diets and supplements, steps and other types of exercise, good sources of information, good genes, yoga, intermittent fasting and more. Bob H also talks about his close scrape with death and how that can motivate a more healthy lifestyle.  We end with stay happy, laugh a lot and live longer.  We would love to receive your emails ([email protected]) with any healthy suggestions you have.
