Today's episode we open up with our east coast upbringing of not having to pump our own gas, and automatic car washes. Which leads us right into the idea of having control and the folks in Nexium in HBO's new series "The Vow". We talk about the verbal gymnastics involved amongst its members, as well as if either of us think we'd be susceptible to such a group. Would we catch on to the shadiness of what went down? Or like it's fallen members, little by little, would we succumb to the pressures of the bigger group? 

Today we talk about snake oil salesmen! There seems to be consistent attributes of these types of people, and they tend to prey on a certain vulnerable type of person as well. We talk about how we should be questioning EVERYTHING and trying to see both sides before we accept something as a cure all. What other factors may be involved when some new health trend alleviates a pain point?

On today's episode we talk about Joements when he goes out surfing, and how he falls into the trap of being over analytical vs making a quick decision and figuring it out later. Justin get's into how he tends to go the opposite and go with the flow more and some drawbacks from that. We then finish off with moments we have gone impulsive where it has paid off and why it's better to just get started. 

On this episode we start off by talking about friends who think they're "foodies" but recommend chain restaurants. We also get into what our own restaurant would consist of and if we'd ever make franchises. Finally we go BALLS DEEP on strip clubs. From the 'Ocho Peso's' in the Philippines to quality food in Portland strip clubs, we get into all the weird experiences we've had throughout the years.

Today's episode we debate over whether we prefer eating indoors or outdoors. Then Joe dives into his Joements of the time the bouncer wouldn't let him in because he was convinced Joe was wasted (FYI he was 100% sober), and GAP employees thought he was high in their store.  Let us know any embarrassing stories you guys have and we can feature it on Rice Revelations!

Today's episode we talk about if we prefer living the Nomad lifestyle or staying put in one place. We also get into what Justin didn't expect on the road, haggling, maximizing your day, the art go negotiating, at-will employment, and why asians are bad drivers.

This week talk about Joe picking up surfing thanks to Justin! They shredded the gnarly waves up in Venice and Joe relives all the waves that took him...under...water. We also get into going out vs staying in - which do we prefer? Going out can get exhausting, and man does staying in sound comfortable and relaxing. We also get into being introverts and the need to reset our minds, and the different types of choices we make as we get older.

Today we discuss what's better - Korean BBQ vs Western BBQ? We get into joe's gooey, crunchy cravings. We also talk about male masculinity, and how there is this arbitrary idea of a default set of skills men should have. We also wonder why all our friend's have become "whiskey experts" and Justin's incident strapping down a car. We get into our anxiety on not having jobs and the uncertainty that follows, as well as how we properly budget our lives given our current setup. Should we be still buying things that bring us joy since we have the time, or is that a waste of money? Justin finishes with his surf story shredding through the boardwalk.
