Panhandle Primate Podcast

In this episode I interview Darell Smith. My path first crossed Darell’s through kid sports and school functions, and I knew pretty early on that I wanted him to come on the podcast. Darell is a real-estate investor, works in the oil industry, and is an avid golfer. He is a jack of all trades and has a wealth of knowledge in many of the areas where I lack. While many of our ideological viewpoints overlap, we differ on the details and come at things from different approaches, which is a good place for conversations to start. You’ll be able to catch Darell on the podcast every now and again to bring in a new perspective. Enjoy this episode!

It seems that since the inception of civilization, people have been predicting how it will collapse. A common trope in mythology, religion, and science fiction has been that of apocalypse and the ensuing struggle for survival in the aftermath. In the episode, hosts Dexter and Shannon explore evidence for possible cataclysms of the past and potential calamities of the future. The conversation ends in a debate that you are not going to want to miss.

Have you ever thought about your death? “Memento Mori” has been chanted by monks and proclaimed by stoics for hundreds of years. They thought it was important to meditate on their deaths to enrich their lives. In this episode, we discuss Memento Mori as a philosophical practice and explore the modern applications as represented by “YOLO” culture and in cheesy country songs. More importantly, we discuss how this ancient concept may offer freedom in our modern world which is so focused on distraction. Remember, You will die!

In this episode of the Cearley Cultivation, we discuss Oliver Anthony Music’s viral song “Rich men north of Richmond” which exploded the internet and left a sea of knee-slapping dissidents and outraged socialites in its wake. We watched the climb from a no-named average guy to interviews with Joe Rogan and Jordan B Peterson! The climb was not free of controversy, however, with encoded messages that were ripe for interpretation - which is where we come in. We dissect his lyrics, examine his YouTube playlist (Dancing Isrealis, anyone?), and deliberate his political leanings. This was originally one of many topics we planned to discuss but ended up occupying the whole hour! Enjoy!

We hope you’re wearing pink because today is all about Barbie! The blockbuster movie and pop culture icon has caused quite a stir since its release. Many people (we’re lookin’ at you, Shapiro) have denounced the movie for its feminist brainwashing agenda, while others have praised the movie for its refreshing and nuanced perspective of growing up in a male-driven society. In this episode, we give our analysis of the movie and respond to various criticisms and praises it received. As always, we’re not just interested in what the people are saying but also how and why people have responded in the ways that they did. What does that tell us about our society? Funny enough, this is one of the rare moments where Shannon and I do not see eye-to-eye. We both hold differing, even clashing, opinions on the Barbie movie. Can you guess which of us liked it?

Marshall McLuhan coined the phrase “The medium is the message,” and it’s never been better exemplified than in the modern expression of Social Media. In this episode, we talk about our personal relationships with social media, the rise of internet culture, and how this new media will destabilize culture as we know it. Love it or hate it, social media is as revolutionary as the printing press, and we’re just at the beginning.

It’s time for another episode of “The Cearley Cultivation.” In this episode, we explore how the simple architectural element of the white picket fence became associated with the American Dream and the idealized image of suburban bliss. The white picket fence has an interesting and complex history in the American past and remains an iconic symbol in culture today. From Korn to Leave it to Beaver, it is used to invoke an America steeped in mythology and question whether it ever actually existed. Whether you see the white picket fence as a nostalgic emblem or a critique of societal conformity, this episode is sure to shed some light on its cultural significance.

Archeologists say they can determine quite a bit about a society based on the trash they left behind. What would our trash say about us? For most of history, “trash” would have been animal bones, hides, pottery, glass, wood, but within the last 100 years, our trash has evolved significantly. Despite this change, we often take out our trash and never think of it again. Yet, the trash doesn’t just go away. In this episode, we discuss the rise of the trash problem as well as its implications for society. We talk about consumption within society, the growing landfills, and the responsibility of the consumers and corporations. We also discuss composting and how we have ways to take our waste and create something new and beneficial for the planet.
