The Kid Who Never Won Anything

TOPIC: Trials, Trophies, and Trying Harder.

This week, the boys arrive from either the past or future to talk about Dan's spoon problem, the refuse racket, the slog of incremental improvement, the perils of black and white thinking, folding paper seven times, and Dan’s mad cart-riding skills.

This leads to this week’s main topic: an epic exploration of success and failure. No spoilers, but this is a good one.
