On Episode 8 of The Put On Podcast, Derek and Cal discuss the habitual tendency to use sports as a distraction and the irrational emotional connections that fans have to specific athletes, a half-baked idea that tells you what your disposable household items are worth and another that reimagines the apparel shopping experience with an AI/VR twist, social creators who make their bones with niche content, the practice of grounding, how to stimulate our mental, physical and social each day, and being more mindful of the not-so-nice conversations we have with ourselves.

The guys also put each other on to memorable shows they're watching (Platonic, American Gladiators, Midnight Gospel), the podcasts they've listened to recently (The Joe Rogan Experience with James Fox - Episode #1976, The Pomp Podcast with Daniel Kelly), the social creators and content that have captured their attention (@kylegordonisgreat, @travque, @chefreactions, @mreflow, @heykhan), the food and drinks they're consuming (old fashioned, dark 'n' stormy, Macallan, shrimp cocktail, french onion soup) and the poppin music and artists they're listening to (Mac DeMarco, Drugdealer, BLP Kosher).

That's right, they're gonna put YOU on to all the best things that are bringing value to THEIR lives. So tune in to learn, grow and enjoy the mf'in show!
