    Ft. Zacharias Beck - Marathons, Bees, Leaving Computer Science, and the Future of Software

    This week, Nathan and Tim welcome Zach to the guest chair for a wide-ranging conversation that somehow manages to connect marathon training, bees, college regrets, and the future of software. The episode kicks off with Zach’s current goal: training for a half marathon with his sights set on a full marathon not long after. That opens the door for Nathan to revisit his own marathon experience—what went right, what went very wrong, and the mistakes he’d absolutely avoid if he ever did it again. Tim chimes in with his perspective from the sidelines, reflecting on what it was like watching Nathan run a marathon all those years ago. From there, things take an unexpected turn as Zach explains how bees have impacted his running routine—and how one bad experience during marathon training didn’t just derail that attempt, but still affects his workouts today. The conversation then shifts to college paths and hard pivots, with Zach sharing how he left computer science to major in something completely different—an experience Tim deeply relates to (and Nathan, quietly, does too). They wrap things up by zooming out to the bigger picture: the recent tech market sell-off, investor anxiety around AI, and the question everyone seems to be asking—are fears that AI will make software as a business obsolete actually justified, or is this just another cycle of tech panic?

    Ft. Britney Nguyen - Nursing, BTS Tickets, and Favorite Concerts

    Britney returns to the guest chair for the first time in nearly five years! In this episode, she catches Nathan and Tim up on life after nursing school, what her day-to-day looks like as a nurse, and the reality of finally losing out on BTS tickets after a decade as a fan. From there, the conversation turns to the ever-rising cost of concerts, unforgettable live music moments, and what it was like to experience Juice WRLD’s passing in real time several years ago. The guys wrap up with a chat about what Britney’s been listening to lately and how her music taste has evolved along the way.

    A New Era of Bamba & Tim

    IT’S FINALLY HERE. After 7 years and nearly 300 episodes, the Bamba & Tim Podcast has officially entered a new era—powered by a $1,000+ studio upgrade that makes its presence known immediately. In this episode, Tim and Nathan unveil their brand-new setup, and trust us…you can hear it. From gorgeous microphone quality to music integration, sound effects, segments, faders, and more, this is unlike anything the show has ever sounded like before. Once the boys finish flexing the new gear, it’s business as usual—just louder, cleaner, and smoother. They dive back into another round of relationship advice, continue unpacking Nathan’s ROI philosophy, and break down how Tim’s frugal, deal-hunting mindset often leads them to the same buying decisions…until it doesn’t. The conversation peaks when a $1,200 vacuum becomes the unexpected centerpiece—showing that even when their buying journeys are equally obsessive and borderline maniacal, their final decisions couldn’t be more different. Buckle up. This one hits different.

    Relationship Advice Comeback, Chore-Splitting Between Partners, and Nathan's ROI Philosophy

    A long-lost segment makes its triumphant return as Nathan and Tim dive back into the chaos of Reddit’s r/relationshipadvice, surfing the tides to deliver some long-overdue, totally qualified(?) relationship wisdom. From there, the conversation shifts closer to home as the two break down the very different systems they use in their own domestic lives—Tim’s approach within a partnership versus Nathan’s approach in marriage—when it comes to dividing chores, sharing responsibilities, and keeping the household running. The episode wraps with Nathan unpacking his personal ROI philosophy: how he decides what’s worth buying, what’s absolutely not, and how he mentally calculates value before spending a dollar. Naturally, this sparks a reckoning for Tim, who’s currently eyeing a shiny new set of $2,000 golf clubs and wondering if they can possibly pass the test.

    Podcast Upgrade Confirmed, Tim's Baseball Journey, and Transformations Post-High School

    In this episode, Nathan and Tim finally come clean: yes, they spent hundreds of dollars on a brand-new podcast setup—and yes, it’s officially on the way. After the financial confession, Tim takes us back to where it all started, walking through his baseball journey from his earliest days, to travel ball, to high school, and eventually stepping away from the game—along with the complicated, meaningful role his dad played through it all. Then things take a hard turn into “back in my day” territory when Nathan shares his first truly brutal aging moment: giving a ride home to a current student from their alma mater and realizing just how wildly different their high school is only eight years later—much to Tim’s shock. The episode wraps with the cohosts reminiscing about some of their favorite memories from Mr. Guest’s Computer Technology class and a few other classic moments along the way.

    Rethinking Hell, Genesis, and Jesus

    In this episode, Nathan and Tim sit down for an open, thoughtful conversation about faith—without debates, dunking, or judgment. With Nathan identifying as a Christian and Tim as an agnostic, the two explore where their beliefs overlap, diverge, and continue to evolve. The discussion kicks off with Nathan sharing an audiobook he’s been listening to titled Why Hell?: Three Christian Views Critically Examined by Steve Gregg, which becomes a launch point for examining how the modern church often speaks with certainty about a traditional view of hell that Nathan believes is historically and theologically shaky. He explains why he thinks confidence has outpaced nuance, and how that’s shaped his own theology. From there, the conversation moves into Nathan’s unconventional understanding of Genesis, including an archetypal reading of the creation story. Nathan lays out why he sees the Bible primarily as a spiritual and moral text rather than a scientific one, and how that framing has helped his faith feel more coherent and honest. Tim then shares his own experiences with church, what pushed him toward agnosticism, and where faith still feels compelling—or difficult—for him. The episode culminates in a thoughtful exchange on the resurrection and the claim of Jesus as deity, as both hosts reflect on belief, doubt, and what it means to take these ideas seriously.

    Flexin's Re-Emergence, 2025 Podcast Wrapped, and Surrounded

    In this episode, Nathan and Tim kick things off with a generational moment they never saw coming. Tim shares how his younger brother Landon—a current high schooler—recently admitted that he and his friends have been bumping Nathan and Tim’s nearly 10-year-old parody remix of Skateboard P, “Flexin On You G.” Once a viral hit back in Nathan and Tim’s own high school days, the song’s unexpected revival has the guys reflecting on the song's target demographic. From there, the conversation shifts into a breakdown of Spotify Wrapped 2025, but this time through the lens of podcast analytics. Nathan and Tim dig into what the numbers say about their listeners, their growth, and what surprised them most about the year. To wrap things up, Tim passionately explains why he loves Jubilee’s Surrounded series, praising its format and conversations—while Nathan takes the opposing stance, laying out exactly why it doesn’t work for him.

    Potential Podcast Upgrades, 2K Scams, and Future Guests

    In the first episode of 2026, Nathan and Tim break down what’s next for the podcast, starting with plans to upgrade the equipment and overall setup to take the show to the next level. Along the way, they go on a classic tangent about the annual 2K cycle—and whether buying the same game every year is a major scam in gaming. They also look ahead to the future of the show, sharing a few dream guests they’d love to have on the podcast and what those conversations could look like.
