The Open Tabs Podcast is what happens when two friends sit down with zero structure and way too many opinions.

Billy and Joe bounce between tech, trending topics, millennial life, pop culture, and whatever tab their brains click on next. Think late-night conversations, mild existential crises, and dad jokes that probably should’ve stayed in draft mode.

If your brain has 37 tabs open at all times… you’re in the right place.

New episodes every week.
Keep the tab open.

    Why do Americans love driving so much?

    This week on Open Tabs, Billy and Joe dive into America's obsession with road trips, RVs, road-trip memories, and the freedom of the open road. Joe shares his experience as an RV owner during the COVID travel boom, while Billy compares van life, international travel, trains, and life on the road.

    They debate driving vs flying, explore whether high-speed rail could ever work in America, discuss the future of personal flying vehicles, and share some hilarious rapid-fire travel takes.

    Whether you're a road-trip veteran, an RV enthusiast, or someone who'd rather fly than spend 10 hours behind the wheel, this episode is packed with stories, travel debates, and plenty of laughs.

  • Is Atlanta Ready for the World Cup? | Open Tabs Podcast Ep. 18
    2026/06/15

    Atlanta is hosting the world this week—and we’re asking the uncomfortable question: are we actually ready? In this episode, Billy and Joe dive into what visitors will notice when they land at Hartsfield‑Jackson, from the sheer size of America to Atlanta’s car‑first culture and the much‑debated MARTA transit system.

    We talk about recent crime headlines on MARTA, new multi‑million‑dollar security measures, and the long‑overdue upgrade to Atlanta’s train fleet—including open‑gangway cars, charging ports, and better luggage and bike space. Then we zoom out: why do Americans love driving so much, why is public transit so hard to get right in a spread‑out Southern city, and what would it take for Atlanta to feel like Barcelona or London on rails?

    It’s not all doom and gloom—we also give Atlanta its flowers. We get into Southern hospitality, the BeltLine, the “Hollywood of the South” film boom, the civil‑rights legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the city’s insanely underrated food scene (barbecue, Waffle House, Truett’s, ramen, fusion spots, and more), and what locals totally take for granted.

    Finally, Billy closes with a reminder about Georgia’s local elections, why city and state races matter so much to your daily life, and why you can’t complain if you don’t vote.

  • Why Friendship Gets Harder As You Get Older | Open Tabs Podcast Ep. 17
    2026/06/08

    For the first time ever, Billy and Joe are recording the Open Tabs Podcast in the same room—and what starts as a conversation about getting older turns into a surprisingly deep discussion about friendship, vulnerability, mental health, and why so many of us still don't feel like real adults.

    Why do friendships become harder to maintain as we age? Why does losing a close friend feel like grief? And why do so many people in their 40s still feel like they're just pretending to have life figured out?

    Along the way, Billy shares his experiences with depression and finding community through mental health treatment, while Joe reflects on parenting teenagers, vulnerability, and the importance of investing in relationships that truly matter.

    Whether you're navigating adulthood, struggling with loneliness, or wondering if everyone else has life figured out (spoiler: they don't), this episode is for you.
