  • 051 The Sister w/ Myriam Bara

    Only 50 episodes after she was first name-dropped on the show, our sister Mimi shows up to talk teaching, childhood and only *some* of her quirks. Quirks and all, we think she's pretty cool. About time she cleared up her schedule enough to make it on air for a chat. Enjoy!

  • 050 Minor Disaster

    This 50th (!!!) episode has it all: an earthquake, discussion about the current state of media, updates on Big & Lil's stories, reflections on pressure and the comfort of its absence, and maybe even some other stuff too. Thanks for listening!

    This week: J's thoughts on the NBA playoffs (we're a sports podcast now?), the conclusion to big bro's job search, the trouble with conditional employment, financial independence, the tradeoff between time and money, the value of investing in perspective and the matter of squandering privilege.

  • 047 Contract Talks

    Tensions run high in the early stages of this one, as a disgruntled authority figure issues a threatening ultimatum. After that, discussion of a great blog post by friend of the show Mike A (no wait, that's too obvious... M Arnold), broader thoughts on the school system, an update on Big Bro's job search, and a chat about the not-so-glamorous psychological experiment that is entrepreneurship.

  • 046 Pay It Forward

    As Jamal stresses over what to wear to Coachella and we engage in some good old-fashioned oneupsmanship, we eventually settle into a conversation that touches on: competitive fitness, the psychological impact of financial strain, the good fortune of a fruitful job search, paying it forward vs looking out for #1 and, again, Jamal's Coachella outfit.
