Peaching Sense

Rob Lawless started a project called Robs10kfriends, with the goal of meeting 10,000 new people (for an hour each!). Today, I was #724. We talked about both of our back stories and how we found ourselves along our respective current career trajectories. We went in depth on Rob's project, my gambling background, and the similarities between podcasting and meeting new people.

Part 2 with Mike Lefkowitz, who talks about a falling out with 2 of his friends. Sort of a sad episode! Characters mentioned: Dan Wynn, Mike Schwartz, Melissa Bagli, Jeff Granat, Jordan Rosenblum, Max Reich.

Inside the mind of a Trump voter (again!) who may or may not be too optimistic about his president’s intentions. We recap Trump’s first week in office, evaluate Trump’s insanity and his “possible” intelligence, and talk about where pro-choicers have gone too far. We also cover intricacies of women’s issues in the workforce, ethical responsibilities, lunacy of the Muslim ban, and unintended consequences.

The Preaching Sense Podcast flies in Jordan Rosenblum all the way from Denmark for a light-lunged (I mean light-hearted) conversation about education, Cristopher Nolan, the founding fathers, political correctness and free speech, Derek Jeter's eternal baseball career, absolute and relative meaning, Thomas Jones (and why Jamaal Charles should get more carries than him in 2005), and Bernie Sanders.

Daniel "Sterm" Stermer, Matt "Kapy" Kaplan, Max "Max" Reich, and I talk about New Year's Resolutions, nutrition, strange foods (like scary strange foods), geography & maps (not sure why this always comes up), having children and how to decide if you're ready, and the Ronda Rousey fight. Lots to learn here!

One of my oldest friends Brandon Klausner joins us as we dissect and dismantle two of the largest constructs in American culture: football and religion.

Friend of the show (and friend in real life) Lee joins us for a pretty risqué discussion: We talk about marriage, relationships, courtship, Twitter, and offending people. Lee has some pretty interesting life experiences, and a lot of experience in general (he's old). Follow him on Twitter @NakedHangover.

An episode that will make you question everything you've ever known! Sterm and I discuss Westworld (*Spoiler alert for those who haven't caught up to Westworld episode 8 'Aired 11/20/16'. Fast forward past the first 5:30 if you don't want to hear any spoilers!*), robots, artificial intelligence, social constructs, political correctness (yes, we do love this topic). This one gets pretty intense. Enjoy!

Max Reich joins the podcast (without Daniel Stermer...sorry Sterm) to talk about Thanksgiving eve (yay!), Donald Trump (obviously.), Canada (what?), Kanye(please come on the podcast? please kanye! Also FU Kanye.), Joe Rogan (hey Joe!). Plenty of other stuff too!

Noah Kirsch joins us to recap the election, Nate Silver's projections, Nate Silver's hair, protestors, and some other depressing shit. But we also talk about UFC 205! And other sports! Things that don't make us as sad!
