Hippie Science Variety Hour

What is going on with sending things like 3D heart printers into space?! Join us while we theorize what THEY really could be doing with the technology as we discuss soft disclosure. Plus, evidently Earth has a new moon...or is it really just the space trash we have been sending? Final verdict...THATS NO MOON!

For our traditional talking shit episode we did more than talk it...we stepped in it! Accidentally stepping right in a steamy pile of politics...ew. But rest assured that this is not us telling YOU how to think, or who should or should not be in office. Light discussion of some policies...peppered with our usual tangents.

At one time, older generations would say that newspapers were going to dumb down the younger generations in society. That newspapers would take away from time spent with family and talking with friends. As our society embraces technology more, what effects will this or is this having on our attention spans and reward systems within our own minds? What does having moments of gratification granted to us in such superficial and easily obtained fashions do to our brains, ourselves and society?

Did you know that there is a man in Mississippi gene hacking dogs to make them glow in the dark? What is CRISPR? And what can we fear or hope to see with this next step in science? All these and more are covered in this episode! If you like this episode and want to dive deeper, the documentary is on Netflix called Unnatural Selection. We HIGHLY recommend watching...after you listen of course.

You are likely to have seen the new viral Twitter thread about life without an internal monologue. That prompted a two week long deep dive into the topic and lead us to Aphantasia as well...life without a mind's eye. This was really interesting since both of our hosts are very visual thinkers. If you don't have an internal monologue or if you are unable to visualize the images of things said...please contact us! We have TONS of questions!

It is official, we are breaking up...

with Sabrina!

We felt that panic, no worries our co-hosts have gone to the point of even tattooing the logo on their bodies. We aren't going anywhere! But, after watching the newest season of the Netflix series Sabrina, we knew this had to be done. And if the creators are wondering...It was for sure you and NOT US! You caused this and we cannot continue in this toxic relationship any longer.

The way that you love someone shows more about the way that you wish to be loved often more in depth than anything else. The manner in which you express your affection to your partner, is often the way you wish they would show it towards you. In this episode, we discuss the 5 love languages of

1. Touch

2. Quality Time

3. Physical Touch

4. Receiving gifts

5. Acts of Service

We also propose a much less commercialized option for celebrating your love for your partner, self or even family and friends. YAY! Day. Tune in to hear about the brilliance of a child's mind when coming up with the best holiday and self-care ritual we have ever heard!

After being convinced to watch the documentary STINK!, our resident scientist decided that maybe his hippie co-host is on to something with these soaps with twigs in them. We dig into what the chemicals in our environment have been linked to and theorize about what all these poisons COULD be responsible for as well. We live in a poisoned world, from our water to air and even soil...it surround us!

and the nonprofit's work Lyme Warrior at www.lymewarrior.us

Are werewolves really our personified fear of losing touch with our humanity? Do vampires represent our fear for loss of control over our own impulses and desires? Where witches used to stir up fear of intelligent, strong and resourceful woman? What do our myths and monsters say about us personally and as a society?

We dive into all of these questions and more in this episode.

Is it fate, fae or just dumb luck that this happens to be our 13th episode? Muahaha you decide. It is time for another bonus Shit Talking episode!! After a 17 hour long move in a Uhual dragging a truck to get Jessica to the headquarters of Lyme Warrior the 501 c 3 nonprofit organization that you know we adore!
