Ever wondered what Buddhism, the Bible, and inflation all have in common? In this episode of Professional Hippies, Joey joins the crew to unpack his journey from Buddhist roots to cracking open the Bible as an adult—and how its contradictions spark fresh questions about faith, power, and culture. But it doesn’t stop there: the guys dive headfirst into the wild world of fiat currency, stock market woes, and why retirement might be more of a fairy tale than a financial plan. Sprinkle in some AI-fueled social media chaos and a dash of nostalgia for the good ol’ MySpace days, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts spiritual reflection and economic reality check—with plenty of laughs along the way.
