Mike White's Ear Beatin’

College buddy, expecting dad-to-be, artist/painter, and self proclaimed NBA Jam master, Brett Thompson comes on break balls and discuss epic things from "back in the day". Also, previous to his tennis elbow surgery, this skinny string bean could somehow throw a football 60+ yards, thus proving that doing so is not about muscle but rather about being a human rubber band. Make sure to catch part 2 of our convo coming soon!

Water scientist and Flow Sculptor Adam Wexler comes on to discuss his company Protodromics, which draws on NASA patents to create "pumps" that use electromagnetic fields to move liquids optimizing thermal management. [I hope I described that somewhat correctly:]

In this episode Mike talks to Josh about his vision of the "decentralized future" and how cryptocurrencies could play an integral role in creating that. He also touches on what and how humans can learn and improve by understanding how machines learn, and how it may be valuable to know several coding languages.

Part 2 of Josh's recap of the GameStop fiasco, etc.

Part 1 of a 2 part convo with long sought-after and long-awaited guest: artist, musician, fashion designer, entrepreneur, and "student of magic", Shabbat.

Josh, who you know from previous pods [and who also predicted the Capitol [Shit]Storm in episode 3], scratches the surface of the #GameStop fiasco and the "how, what, and why" around it all. He also talks markets, future predictions of them, his "YOLO" week of trading, and he drops a few speculation tips!

Cowriter and coproducer of Broken Sidewalk, Nathan Brimmer, talks about his experience in the movie business, making Broken Sidewalk, the compromise between art and life, social media tinkering, kids, and whether or not he actually stood on the Casey's chimney.

Professional muralist and #walldog, D*Robbz, talks about painting huge murals while hanging off the sides of buildings in cities all over the country, his summer book list, Mike Tyson, New Era Caps, embroidery, stashed bikes, and rats in NYC.

Mike and Josh talk about the events of January 6th, 2021.

Recorded over the summer of 2020, Mike talks to Josh about current events, etc., at that time. Josh shares his idea for an "affective protest"; don't go to work, don't pay your bills, don't buy anything!
