Travel allows us to see the world through different eyes. As Americans, we’ve been taught that this is the greatest place in the world and what we do here is the only way to do it. But there are so many ways to see the world and so many fascinating people to meet along the way. Join Kenny and Joshua as they share their perspectives and experiences from around the globe. Joshua and his very human bathing experiencing with that man in Tunisia and Kenny with his sweet connection with the red-headed Italian goddess.

In this 1st episode of season 2, Kenny and Joshua explore the myths, promises, and hopes of Romantic Love. Are they real or imagined? And is everything we’ve been taught about love and romance just a bunch of unhelpful, unfortunate, and unfriendly pop psychology with a large sprinkling of disnification? God, I hope not!!!!!

How do we co-exist in a country that has two fundamentally different ideas about being a country? How do we talk to each other when one side believes in crazy conspiracy theories? Do we need a third party? Is that even possible? Can we move on without accountability and justice? And what about those pesky bears???

Does God exist?  Do we need God to exist? Is he an old bearded man or woman sitting in a cloud somewhere all omniscient and omnipotent? Or is God an idea representing something greater than us? Is God a helpful or harmful idea? And what about the avocado and that damn large pit? Join us as we try and figure it all out. (Spoiler Alert: We don’t!)

What does it feel like to be Jewish in America today? What role does anti-semitism play in your daily lives?  As a Jewish kid, did you want to sit on Santa's lap at the mall? What are your feelings about Israel today vs. when you were kids? Do you have to believe in God to be Jewish?

Joshua and I answer these and many other questions.

Why does the thought of going to therapy make men “Crazy?”  It’s a question women have been asking for years. Joshua and Kenny explore the confines and constructs of masculinity and shame and how that has men thinking that the values of vulnerability, openness, and sharing are not only off-limits but dangerous to our identities. That’s a mouthful!

Why do 90% of all New Year’s resolutions fail within 2 weeks of having been made? And are resolutions a good idea anyway? In this episode, we explore why resolutions fail and what is needed for them to succeed. And there is a wild chat about Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi too. Happy New Year!

Relationships are the building blocks of our lives. They allow us to feel seen, valued, and heard. They provide us comfort, joy, safety, and connection. And they take many forms. Sometimes we form relationships with characters in books, movies, video games, and television shows and these relationships can be just as meaningful and helpful as any other. Also, who remembers TV Trays? And is texting really chatting or is it really texting???

From the 1970’s to our current time technology has impacted us in increasingly meaningful ways.

For Joshua and Myself, our memories of “Pong” and “Cable Boxes with Chords Attached to the TV” are profound, and yet, they never changed our lives the way today’s smartphones and video chats have radically altered the very nature of how we interact with each other. We look at what was lost and what has been gained. And we throw in a few nice memories of our old friend Brad Fuller’s dad.

What were the movies and tv shows from your childhood that shaped who you are or who you wanted to be? Who remembers the Six Million Dollar Man or the Fonz? What about the movies that defined your generation? Do you ever go in the ocean again after seeing Jaws? Was childhood ever the same after Star Wars? And of course there were a whole host of things that drove us F**king crazy this week!
