Keep The Change
Ben , Jeff, and Trent dive into a wild mix of topics, from the highs and lows of live streaming to high school basketball highlights and late-night fast food runs. They break down the chaos of NBA trades, debate the cost of family trips to Disney, and tackle the ever-confusing world of tipping culture. The conversation also touches on podcasting struggles, social media algorithms, and the fine line between censorship and free speech.
Things take a turn as they discuss aviation safety (yes, plane crashes), attention spans in sports, and the daily struggles of colorblindness. With humor and sharp insights, this episode is packed with real talk, laughs, and a few too many questionable food choices.
