In this episode of the Open Tabs Podcast, Billy shares a wild (and honestly impressive) Facebook Marketplace scam story that proves even savvy buyers can get got. 😳

Then things take a turn as he shows off his latest purchase—a full-on mountain unicycle—and explains why he decided to finally learn how to ride one.

After that, Joe breaks down the truth about service dogs vs emotional support animals, including where service dogs are legally allowed, common misconceptions, and a real travel story involving hotels, airports, and even Disneyland policies.
