Fact Correction: In the pod we accidentally mention Justin Trudeau as the Prime Minister of France. He is in fact the Prime Minister of Canada. Also, The Keystone XL pipeline was not going to run from Alaska it would have run from Alberta, Canada. We Love You Canada! Sorry!

President Biden signed seventeen executive orders on his first day in office. Four of those were directed specifically at halting climate change. With more bills expected next week, and with a total overhaul in how our government is structuring the war against greenhouse gas emissions - we thought it prudent, nay urgent! to look deeper at what Biden did yesterday, and what his plans are for the future to halt the killing of our planet.

Cannibalism was once thought as a behavior only witnessed in conditions of extreme survival - a necessary tactic to outlast starvation or some other extreme environmental stressor. But as we have come to understand this behavior more…it appears that cannibalism is pretty damn common in animals, and maybe even in humans as well?

We are now starting to accept cannibalism as a natural behavior of the animal world, and in this episode we explore the mystery of why members of the same species would want to eat each other.

It's time to go boom boom and make a zoom zoom (I'm not sure what that means), and get down once again with the wild weird world of animal sex. There's so many ways to get it on in the animal world. From snakes that form a mating ball to kangaroos with multiple vaginas, and don't even get me started on the insect sex...this episode is a banger, literally.

If you're anything like me, whenever the new year rolls around in the deep dark winter time you start to think of new things you want to do in the coming trip around the sun, mountains you want to climb, bridges you want to cross...that type of thing. But usually these goals end up falling off after a few months, the motivation to get up in the morning and get after them wearing off almost as quick as the new sweater nana gives you for Hanukah. So to stick to our goals this year, we turned to the science to see what the research says about effective goal setting...turns out, there's a lot to the science (dare I say art) about setting and reaching milestones...who knows, this episode may just change your life.

"You take the blue pill you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe...you take the red pill, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." In The Matrix, humans have mastered interfacing with computers so much so, that a plug can be inserted into your neck to experience a collective fake simulation. This elevated mouse and keyboard may no longer be in the realm of science fiction for long because of various advances in the field of brain computer interfaces (BCI's). This amazing (and horrifying) new technology has widespread medical, social, and entertainment uses...but should we open pandoras box? can we, even?

Life without time, without numbers, without jobs, without credit scores? What could an existence without modern infrastructure look like? In this episode we take a look at a few peoples that are still living in extremely remote regions of the planet, places barely contacted by the threads of the modern age. We can learn so much from looking at the lives of these people; how to be present, make something from nothing, and be grateful for the things we have.

He knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you're awake. Krampus is coming to town! Christmas as we know it is a holiday full of whimsy, wistfulness, and chestnuts roasting over an open fire. But it didn't used to be this way, in fact Christmas time was the complete opposite and dominated by savagery, pagan beats and fear. We explore the fascinating world of the old dark winter holidays in Europe and their rebirth in American culture.

Jayden Klinac is the founder of For The Better Good, a New Zealand company that is turning water bottles into compost, and therefore soil, and therefore food at its urban garden. Jayden's company eliminates the waste in its process in a very cool way...instead of waiting for others to throw out or recycle the bottles For The Better Good actually owns boxes spread around New Zealand, where employees pick the bottles up and they are eventually composted in one of their 7 compost stations. This is a great interview, whether you want to learn a little more about how a sustainable company runs, how to transform your idea into reality, or about how we can help the planet by being a little smarter.

15% of Americans have tried yoga in the past 6 months. It is a form of physical martial art dominated by women and popular clothing brands. I also love yoga, Noah...not so much. We thought it would be prudent to try and cut through all of the faux namaste level marketing content you see online (13 ways yoga will make you feel incredible!) And get down and dirty with actual scientific studies to see if we could prove or disprove the merits of yoga as an effective form of exercise and meditative activity.
