Welcome to Episode 9, where we reminisce about our time studying abroad in Kyoto, Japan!  Studying abroad is a great opportunity for students to meet different people and experience new cultures!  We are both extremely biased towards choosing to study abroad and strongly encourage our college-aged listeners to do so if you have the chance!  What were some of our thoughts going through our minds before, during, and after the 10 week program?  As we look back on some awesome memories, we'll talk about topics related to:

• Our first impressions of each other (we met on this trip!)
• Budgeting for food (poor conversion rate at the time) and fun food memories
• Finding a school/life balance
• Being put into a class with a teacher that spoke in 100% Japanese
• Accidentally into the wrong districts of Kyoto
• ... and more!

Welcome to Episode 8!  Today is a bit of a throwback to our younger days and our favorite past time -- Video Games. We don’t have as much time to play now, but that won’t stop us from debating which console was the best! Were we Nintendo or Playstation fans growing up? When did we start PC gaming? As full time working adults, what games do we have time for now? Sit back and find out!

Welcome to Episode 7. Today we're doing something a bit different from our usual back and forth discussion -- we'll be going into detail about one of Jake’s biggest regret purchases (as mentioned briefly in Episode 5) -- his car! 

We’ll also touch upon his time in the car scene! Jake isn’t one of those “ricers”...or is he? How did Jake get into this expensive hobby, and how much of it did he regret?  What does being a ricer entail? Just how much money did he drop for this car?

Well, we’re here to answer those questions. Let’s explore the Bay Area car scene.

With the ongoing mayhem and shelter-at-home orders caused by COVID-19, we decided to record this special episode just for you listeners.  We want to chat about our current feelings, thoughts, and how we and our loved ones are dealing with the current situation.  As you know, many larger metropolitan areas in the US has issued a shelter-at-home mandate for the past few weeks.  How has this affected daily life and work life? Where do we think things might change in the future after this?  Wash your hands, grab a bag of Cheetos, and sit down to our conversation!
