We are joined by Ron to discuss metrics of value, both cultural and political. Things get hairy when we start to get sincere so we decide to safely couch our opinions from the vantage of pop culture bullshit.

Also Henry Kissinger is the Emperor or whatever.

This is about Israel's cuisine and the "dearly departed" American finance professional: Jeffrey Epstein.

We discuss the economic factors fucking with our moviegoing experience today and draw from America's recent past to try and goofily wrap our heads around cultural/political turning points in America's history.

I also give Matt succinct summaries of both the Harry Potter and Game of Thrones franchises.

We're joined by the recently neutered Ben to listen to Matt wax poetic about apes and for once and for all figure out the ultimate nature of truth.

We continue our journey into the dark heart of podcasting.

We're back: A Dinosaur's Stoyr

We dive into the ideas of one of the supposed founding fathers of modern conservatism: Edmund Burke. From his arguments we trace back to the present day some of the prevailing logic of the right.

Check out Burke's "Reflections on the Revolution in France" here:

Ron and I discuss a 1968 television debate/discussion between Norman Mailer and Marshal McLuhan. We/them talk about the stuff that's important to the age we live in.

Globalism, traveling, the internet, violence, handjobs, you know, that stuff.

Check out the whole 1968 discussion here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtzxWR-j1xY&t=1082s

Prof. Tok Thompson from USC joins me for a fascinating conversation about our storytelling nature as humans and the consequences of this (political or otherwise) for our present, past, and potential future.

Topics include aliens, the Slenderman, Posthumanism, the election, and our relationship to earth. Strap in and check out Prof Thompson's work at:
