On this episode, frisbee administration (!), the paradox of "motivational speakers" (we brush them aside until we make the same discoveries for ourselves), not knowing what we don't know, the magic of removing the tension of profit from a business...and big bro coins a new term.

Admittedly, we recorded this in the late evening, but "dog's dinner" isn't a thing. On this episode, Lux (star of episode 11's dog party) joins us for an in-studio meal as JB and YB discuss some of the ups, downs and altogether messy elements of a self-directed livelihood.

Also discussed: S-Town, This American Life, Matt D'avella, Rich Roll, Damon John and more.

Finally, some details about Medium Bro's new career chapter! A pumped-up Jamal exhales after a stressful visa renewal process, then gets down to brass tacks about what comes next for him. A tinny-sounding Big Bro reports live on location from the office, as he preps for the launch of his new workshop series.

On this milestone twentieth episode, we hit a mixed bag of topics: anecdotes about family, a handful of stories taking place in a drive-thru, updates on recent events and more.

Thanks for listening to this point! If you haven't already, we'd love it if you would subscribe and tell a friend. Cheers to the next 20!

Recording on Jamal's last day employed with his now former employer, we reflect on the closing of that chapter for him, before looking ahead to what comes next. The milestone prompts the revisiting of larger questions about ambition, gratitude, contribution and more.

Also in this episode: listener email and a deeper exploration of some of the views publicly expressed by Yacine's man-crush du jour, AJ Leon. Check out episode 222 of Tangentially Speaking, for reference.

On this real-timey episode, we chat about Lil Bro's impending unemployment, Big Bro's one-year anniversary of leaving the corporate world, money as a means to wellness, teaching math classes, kids' basketball and more!

This week, thoughts on not just the senselessness of recent events in Las Vegas, but on what can be done to cope with terrible things that happen in the world and - by a similar token - in response to more minor grievances.

Plus, a possibly exciting development on the podcasting front, and an update on last week's wayward parker.
