<p>What does it mean to <em>get </em>unstuck? To stay up when it’s dark, cold, or creatively blocked? </p><p>In this episode, Evan and Chris spiral delightfully from student slang and seasonal darkness into writer’s block, Pixar montages, AI shortcuts, ramen breaks, and the quiet power of choosing the journey over the destination.</p><p>It’s an episode about motion, momentum, and finding your own version of “up”...even when you’re not sure which way that is.</p><p>Got a story about what helps you get up-up-and-away?
