Road Rants Jake and Freddy
-
- Comedy
Jump in the backseat with Freddy and Jake as they drive the streets of Nashville while they talk about what it takes to make it big. Jake shares his thought experiments and philosophical insight and Freddy shares everything about himself. Their #1 goal - bringing levity to real sh*t.
Call them funny. Call them insightful. Hell, call them ridiculous - as long as you don't call them nice.

Thou Shalt Slay the Dragon - Old tires, Trauma, Life-lies, and letting the anima streak across the quad
Freddy starts with a what he calls a "lesson in patience... and other things" Jake and Freddy discuss if trauma exists (spoiler alert: it does). They also discuss "life lies" the secret things we keep close to the chest and tell ourselves to feel better or not change the way we live.
Jake takes us through a writing exercise that could've backfired if he wasn't so darned articulate. And Freddy retracts another camel fact.
The book referenced so often in here is called The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga

S2-E2 - Selfish to Be Selfless - Apologies, Boundaries, and Jake's Medical Experiments
Jake and Freddy are back and explore... all sorts of shit. What does it mean to apologize? Do people really want you to be 100% honest? Does it matter?
A coifless Freddy.
Jake takes us through his latest medical experiments and how it has allowed him to make positive changes for himself. Freddy admits to not knowing if the monkey camel Jocky thing is actually a thing... so they find out. **We are not medical professionals. We’re just two dudes taking shit.

S1-E13 - The Search for the Perfect Burger - Ambiguity, Bad Accents, and Enjoying the Ride
**Original release date - 9/2019** - Jake and Freddy continue their search for the best burger in Nashville.
On the way there, they discuss what "the perfect burger" means to us and how Jake has a system for finding the best things in life, thanks to being a "review whore".
On the way back they discuss what keeps us from doing what we want to do: ambiguity, lack of consistency, and ultimately fear. They realize that the mistakes and failures along the journey are so important to success but are often left out of the story. This leads to a decision to document their decision making for the podcast, execute on them, and let the listeners join along for the ride.
Next stop Brother’s Burgers! Find out what rating Jake and Freddy give Brother's in the episode. As always, buckle up! Because there are some real a**holes on the road.

It's been a minute - actually it's been exactly one year since the birth of Road Rant and Jake and Freddy are still at it.
Join them as they start their journey to find the best burger in Nashville. On the way there and back they talk about how owning your mistakes doesn't necessarily account for them and the quicksand pit that is self-awareness. What's on the other side? Self-discovery.
First stop, Riverside GrillShack!
