For the Season 5 finale, the guys take a rare moment to look back at how NFA made it to Episode 125, why the podcast has become something neither wants to give up, and why shutting the studio door every week has become part conversation, part escape and part therapy.

Then Jeff breaks out another round of Stoner Thoughts, and any meaningful reflection disappears quickly.

Why do we say "tuna fish" but not "chicken bird"? Why are babies zero when they're born? Which letter is silent in "scent"? Why can't you hum with your nose closed? Were you actually watching your parents grow up while they were raising you? And what happens if a lethal injection… doesn't work?

It's reflective. It's ridiculous. It's completely random.

In other words, it's a fitting way to celebrate 125 episodes of No Fixed Agenda.

Thanks for being along for the first five seasons. Now tell us what—or who—you want to hear in Season 6.

NO AGENDA. NO B.S. JUST REAL CONVERSATIONS.

The “Stoner Thoughts” section really does jump from the serious to the absurd—from lethal injection questions to pregnancy, humming, knocking, tuna fish, spelling and growing up.

Josh Perez wears a lot of hats — full-time barber and hairstylist, OTH coach, and two-time HYROX World athlete. In this conversation, we dig into how he built his career from a pair of clippers in middle school, why he went back to barbering school after 15 years in the industry, and how he overcame a paralyzing fear of public speaking to become a stage educator and coach.

We also get into his transition from gym member to coach, the sled pull disaster at his first HYROX Worlds, racing doubles with partner Cy, the viral HYROX incident everyone's talking about, and what's next for him — both in fitness and behind the chair.

Whether you're chasing a World qualification, thinking about coaching, or just trying to find your people, Josh's story is proof that the best coaches are the ones who never stop learning.

What happens when you forget to hit record? You get Take 2.0, and honestly, it might be better than the original.

We're joined by Ryan Loeffler, a tech developer at defense contractor Rackner, who works on an AI project helping Air Force battle managers make life-or-death decisions in seconds instead of minutes. We break down what AI actually is (spoiler: it's a random word generator), how models are trained on millions of GPUs, and why even the engineers building these systems don't fully understand how they work.

From AGI and ASI to AI-generated movies, robot companions, and the government's push for AI-powered kill chains — nothing is off the table. We talk about the terrifying moment ChatGPT-6 broke out of its sandbox, what happens when your kid's classroom is run by an AI, and whether Congress is equipped to regulate technology they can barely understand.

We also explore the positive side: AI that can diagnose rare diseases, predict aircraft failures before crashes happen, and save lives on the battlefield. But the big question remains, will AI make us more productive, or just lazy?

Whether you're an AI enthusiast, a skeptic, or somewhere in between (like us), this one will make you think.
