Show Notes 




Josh finally officially becomes a Certified Public Accountant (YES!) and the hosts set the record straight on Digital Nomad at Sea. Ben recounts the tale of the Native American invasion of Alcatraz in 1969 and spoils Star Wars in a whole new way. Josh asks why do we wear flashy headphones and hide our hearing aids? And finally, the hosts engage in a debate on separation of church and state in the context of the $5M fine levied by the US Securities and Exchange Commission against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in February 2023.
