Hey mates, been a while! Daddy danny has allowed us to meet up in person for the first live backyard pod!!

Jay and Bray catchup on the recent US Presidential election, giving their Aussie perspectives on what's happening and the role of modern media. This pod did include another hour of chatting about Playstation 5 and our experiences with the new console, however we unfortunately lost that section, so this one ends quite abruptly!!

But do not fret mates, we'll be giving more thoughts on the PS5 and much more in the future!

What up M8s, WE ARE BACK!! 

This episode covers a range of topics, from Santa Claus to Satan! We also talk about the recent drama surrounding Netflix's new original film "Cuties" (eww btw).

In the main segment we unpack the phrase "Ignorance is Bliss", giving our thoughts on why some people find this more compelling than others. Can we harness the "magic" of reality while not being deluded by dogmas? Can we derive an OUGHT from an IS?

Ayy M8s, whattup!!

This time round the bend we reflect on where we are in the CORONA madness, as Aussies find themselves back in lockdown. We do express some confusion about the global situation, as world leaders seem content to neglect the people and do product placements! Crazy times yo!!

We also discuss some Stoic Philosophy, finding whatever wisdom we can in these times in the writings of Roman Philosopher Seneca.

Hope you are all doing well and staying safe!!

We are BACK my M8S! This episode we talk a lot about the chaos in our world, as protests erupt across the globe! With open hearts and good intentions, we try our best to make some sense of it (as well as two larrikins can manage, anyway!). We hope you enjoy the spirit of our sincere attempt to comprehend what a strange and uncertain time it is to be alive, as only two idiots on a podcast can!

In the second segment, we get a bit BEEFY! The Internet has become quite a beefy place and we spend some time unpacking Ribbonfarm's article entitled "The Internet of Beefs" by Venkatesh Rao.
