Welcome to Episode 5 of Two Dads in Tech, where Troy Munson and Daniel Berk prove once again that being mildly unhinged is their default setting. This week, we dive headfirst into the murky waters of tipping culture—because who doesn’t love feeling judged by a payment screen at a coffee shop? Spoiler: Taco Bell makes an appearance, and yes, the aftermath is exactly what you’d expect.
We also explore what it takes to sell a terrible product (or, you know, the moon) and debate whether marketing or sales deserves the bigger slice of the corporate pie. Scarlett Johansson somehow gets dragged into this, but hey, what’s a tech podcast without a Marvel cameo?
If that’s not enough, Daniel gets real about his six-month alcohol hiatus (turns out, club soda and lime is the secret to life), while Troy contemplates breaking free from his in-laws’ cocktail hour. Sprinkle in a side of existential dread around social media influencers and a word association game that takes cringe to new heights, and you’ve got yourself an episode.
TL;DR: It’s Episode 5, and we’re still figuring it out. Laugh, cringe, and question our life choices alongside us. Rate, review, and subscribe—Troy’s kids are still counting on it.
