This is a heavy one. Heavy in a good way, but heavy all the same. Lots of unpacking trauma, both from childhood and Gomer's recent bathroom renovation.

There's some talk of childhood wounds, betrayal, and other sad topics. If that's not something you've got the energy for around the holidays, no worries. Maybe come back to this one after the new year.

Merry Christmas, and hope you enjoy!

Has our world gotten flatter? Are all the edges of culture rounded out and mass produced to the lowest common denominator?

Luke and Gomer discuss how movies have lost their soul and houses have gotten gray and boring (and badly made).

Take a shot anytime two men in their 40s discuss interior design on this episode (maybe don't listen to this one in the car).

Enjoy!

AI has plenty of potential upsides. Helping you think more deeply about life isn't one of them. Maybe, if done wrong, it helps us fulfill our worst desires.

Will AI reduce us to simply our desires? Can it free up time in our lives to contemplate the truth?

Also, there's a lengthy discussion about sex with robots towards the end. It's topical, we promise, but maybe don't listen to this one with your kids. Maybe don't listen to any Catching Foxes episodes with your kids.

Enjoy!

Can we know what reality is? Not in some college-freshman-philosophy-major-existentialism way, but in how we see the world. Are reproductions of things real versions of the original?

The fellas continue to talk about the ethics of AI and whether we've lost the ability to truly view realty.

Tune in next week for part two of this discussion!

The usage of AI has moral implications, but what are they? Can we use it without losing our souls? Should we all just be listening to Bob Dylan and avoiding AI-generated music?

It's a heady one this week. Enjoy!
