Ep. 10- How to fall off a cliff
Hey Man! Today we meant to talk about something else, but we are in Yosemite so we got sidetracked and ended up diving into all things rock climbing. Climbing is one of our favorite things to talk about and even if you aren't a climber yourself, we think there is a lot to learn from it.
Believe or not, dangling from the edge of a cliff by the tips of your fingers is actually a pretty good metaphor for life! We hope you like it.

Ep. 7- How to make friends!
Hey man! this week we are talking about friendship: what it is, what it means to us, and where and how to find it! We dive into how we became friends and talk a little bit about some of the strangest ways some of our favorite friendships began.
We grapple with the differences between how society wants people to spend their time and how people actually want to spend their time (and how that affects all of our friendships.) Of course, we get into some silly friendship stories along the way.

Ep. 6- We are grateful for everything (but mostly for guacamole)
We are back! This week we are talking about all the everyday things we are grateful for. When the world seems too big and scary we like to take the time to remind ourselves of all the wonderful things that are right in front of us.
We also talk about our recent trip to Japan and discuss what the beginning of spring means to us. If you can't tell, we were really hungry while recording this episode so we spent most of the runtime talking about guacamole.
Although after all, we are pretty grateful for guacamole.

Ep. 4- Two Guys Talking About Trees
This episode is a smaller and chiller one, we‘re just talking about trees. We discuss our favorite trees our and our least favorite from very very big to very small. We even debate the concept of what a tree actually is. We know that it's pretty cold in a lot of places right now so we wanted to talk about something a little greener to start looking forward to spring.As always there’s plenty of goofs and silliness and we hope you’ll leave with the urge to get outside and hug a tree or just look up into its branches and enjoy its shade.

[…] Yeah, because there's a beauty to individuality and to your own identity that is not mutually exclusive with an understanding of, the emptiness and like a very Buddhist use of the word of like, or like the illusory nature of selfhood. But that's the, I think, why when we're trying to have this video about like, oh, who am I? Like you could feel like you could have this kind of coming of age, exciting, simplistic version of this video. It's like, I think, and now I know who I am, which is like, that's one way to think about like who you are and what is the self.
