Joe goes camping and discovers something shocking: TV/DVD combo units barely exist anymore. Meanwhile, Billy reveals his storage unit price jumped from $35 to $189 a month, forcing a major clean-out.

In this episode of The Open Tabs Podcast, Billy and Joe open a few of the tabs currently running through their brains... from camping tech problems to cruise add-ons, mechanical keyboards, and weird jobs they had as teenagers.

Plus:
• A round of “Worth It or Not?”
• A chaotic Mad Libs story
• A suspiciously accurate office printer “sponsor” ad
• And stories about telemarketing sales and teenage construction jobs that probably wouldn’t be allowed today.

If you’ve ever struggled with outdated tech, subscriptions getting out of control, or bizarre early jobs, this episode will feel very familiar.
