 We delve into a word related to the recent book titled "The Next Conversation: Argue Less, Talk More" by Jefferson Fisher. That word is "pause".

...

You can find that book on Amazon or wherever you buy books.

We then discuss a variety of topics related to talking as well as pausing in conversations. Is this just a strategy or does pausing during conversations provide real value when communicating with others?

 We talk about Sturgeon's Law at the start of this episode as it relates to some of the topics covered in last week's episode as well as some of the discussion we continue this week.

We build on the (hopefully good) content from last week and discuss the "starter" role versus the "sustainer" role. Maybe there is, or needs to be, a third role: the "closer".

 We begin with a word related to the topic in mind: troth. We discuss the etymology and related words, and discuss our thoughts on commitments, truth, and declarations.

Then we delve into how much commitment you need to have things, when is a good time to quit, and the social pressure put on us by unspoken contracts.

 We have a short discussion about the recent "rescuing" of the astronauts that experienced a much longer trip to space than planned.

The word of the episode, "egress", has the definition and origin discussed, since that was one of the technical words used during the live broadcast of the capsule returning to earth. This word has more meaning than just "exit".

 We talk about the definition, usage, history, and etymology of the phrase "on the fly", as requested by a listener. Where do you think that phrase came from? See if you're right; there's actually two different prevailing theories on the origin of that phrase.

Then we have a conversation on Daylight Savings Time, the impact it has on our lives, and potential alternatives to this practice. Enjoy all the results of our mid-episode research, but through the magic of podcast editing you don't have to wait around while we do our online searches and research.

 We have an unstructured conversation about Operation Mockingbird. But first we talk about the Northern Mockingbird and How to Kill a Mockingbird.

Then we dive into the conspiracy theory that the US Government infiltrated large media organizations. Supposedly this project was shut down in the 19070s, but does it continue secretly to this day?

One of the sources on the legitimacy that this project did  in fact exist at one time can be found here (PDF warning).
