In this episode of A-Squared Ramblers, hosts Alex and Adriana swap stories of family cookouts gone sideways, the elusive hunt for a quality Made-in-USA lawnmower, and their very different approaches to “living green” - including Adriana’s legendary push mower era. They cross continents to talk Japan’s ultra-strict recycling rules, share a sweet shout-out to their youngest podcast fan, and reminisce about friends, past work trips, and travel hesitations. Then things take a turn into the strange with the alien-like vanishings at Nevada’s most mysterious rest stops - complete with Reddit deep-dives, wild theories, and a new Rambler travel tip: never stop in Pumpernickel.
