Brian's Attic

Caleb is gone! Where did go? No one knows and no one cares, because we've got Brian's brother Stephen taking his place to fill the role of Star Trek lore guru (Stephen does a terrible job of it, but that's okay).

In this episode, the three Adonises talk about books. Old books. Why don't we read them? Should we read them? What can we do to make reading them easier?

Caleb asks Brian and Andrew how we use social media and what we think about it. Is social media good or bad, useful or useless? Better to drop or better to keep? How does one avoid "doom-scrolling" and depression? How does social media affect one's view of life and mode of being? How does social media relate to one's purpose in life and personal values?

Andrew cut his finger and started considering opioids, so he asks Brian and Caleb if they can provide a solution to the United States' opioid epidemic that the Federal government could implement that would have a positive impact. The two of them don't come up with much, but the conversation was interesting.

Apologies for Caleb's audio...

Caleb shares a story of meeting a nice and friendly bald eagle in person, using an alleged bald eagle feather as proof. Andrew is confused why people would want bald eagle feathers and draws an analogy to OnlyFans. We digress from there to atom bombs, power, and bluffing.

In our season one finale, we discuss how we define success, followed by our respective examples of terrible "romances" (if you can call them that) in literature (if you can call it that). After the break Andrew regales us with various Arthurian legends. And lastly, we wrap up by explaining the intricacies of Yu-Gi-Oh lore, TV show and card game.
