In this long-awaited episode (by which I mean I took an especially long time making it), Ryan and I chat about the meaning of fascism and run though Umberto Eco’s list of fascism warning signs. Plus: how a quantum cult we investigated reveals the hidden secret behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In this special extended episode, Sonja and I talk Star Trek cruise, confronting scary futures, searching for solutions to the rise of the alt-right, how capitalism turns food into addictive substances, and how to clicker-train a ‘gator.

April 14, 2019 S1 E10: A Universe of Chad Memes
Let’s chat with Glenn Newcomer of Be Your Own Drum Circle about stuff. Oh, all kinds of stuff. Connections between class consciousness and climate change. Plus: How capitalism affects video games and farming in similar ways. Also: What’s stopping us from imagining a better future? Additionally: Will academic meme studies replace art history in 20 years? Furthermore: We break down the Conservative Phrasebook of bad-faith dismissiveness. But then: We both attempt a Jordan Peterson impression. Brace yourselves for that. It’s one heckin’ darn of an episode.

March 16, 2019 S1 E9: Better Late Than Never
I felt like it was time to talk about what’s been going on with this podcast, where it’s been, why I started it, and where we might take it from here. This one’s more about honesty than goofiness, more personal than pop culture. I also talk about the grieving process, my culture’s obsession with apocalypse fantasy, hopes for humankind, and how imagination might come in handy.

February 09, 2019 S1 E8: UFOs and the Aesthetics of the Weird
This episode, Eric Schiller and I get weird. We talk UFOs, encounters with strangeness, Carlos Castaneda, Internet dating, peeping the naked cosmic mystery, being the Mary Sue of your fan fiction of reality, “the slipperiest possible thing,” reality TV and the nature of human drama. Is it time to start a funky freaky space cult? What’s really going on behind the curtain of reality? Spoiler alert: we don’t know. Do you know? Spoiler alert: no you don’t.

January 18, 2019 Announcement: Our First Live Video Chat!
Hey, this isn’t a podcast episode. I just wanted to let everyone know that we’re doing our first ever live video chat on Saturday, January 19, at 10:30am PST / 1:30pm EST over at our new YouTube channel. Talon from episode 1 will be back for some more chatty funtimes.
It’s live! Anything could happen! You might catch us accidentally saying our social security numbers or where we buried our gold or something. We’ll be responding to any comments, questions, or quips we get in the comments during the thang. If you’re interested, here’s a link to where this is all going down.
That’s all. Okay, cool. Okay, thanks. I love you. BYE!

January 14, 2019 S1 E7: Pascal’s Laugh-o-Meter
For real, though. In an age of overconsumption and the looming threat of eco-pocalypse, is it ethically justifiable to have children? More importantly: how come they don’t give Hawkeye some of those fancy robot wings? Do our dead relatives watch us poop? Are we living in a simulation that’s gone off the rails? The one and only Caleb Benningfield is in the house to settle these issues once and for all.

January 14, 2019 S1 E6: Procreation & Pancakes
Should we have babies? How many babies? Two babies? Six babies? Zero babies? Or should we run off into the woods and grow secret beans instead? Are the scary millennials coming to destroy your favorite crappy casual restaurant chains? Do we laugh because we’re scared? Matt Cornell of Boss Drop and [REDACTED] is here to help us figure this all out. The stakes have never been higher! Pancakes are promised (but have yet to be delivered). Threats are made. Space colonization dreams are dashed. A product line is pitched.
