Episode Synopsis

In this Drive and Jive episode of the Raff's Brain Podcast, Rob Raffety drives home from the Outer Banks and takes you on a spontaneous, fast-paced and (allegedly) insight-laden ride through his thoughts. From the meaning of OBX to personalized license plates, autonomous vehicles, and a tribute to the Wright Brothers (plus their under-credited sister), this episode veers, merges, and accelerates through life’s curiosities. Rob also announces his upcoming 50th birthday celebration — complete with a one-man storytelling show. Per usual, it's half-baked, reflective, and thoroughly Raff’s Brain.Outline:Rob hits the road: driving from OBXOBX branding and airport acronym confusionHistory of the Wright Brothers (and their forgotten sibling)License plates need a tech upgradeThe tattooification of custom platesAutonomous driving: What happens to human interaction?Why Waze always wins (but talks too much)Riffing on veins, arteries, and traffic reporting50th birthday announcement & detailsLemieux, Gretzky, Ovi: The hockey number rabbit holeCrabs, Maryland drivers, and minor existential spiralsCloseout reflections: “The best is yet to come.”📞 Call the Raff's Brain Hotline!
