Point by Point

This week, we review donuts, talk about the power of dreams, and drop some serious ancient wisdom.

Our main topic this week? Dreams.

But before that — our heroes experience the consequences of getting more than they asked for.

We also have a revelation about something incredibly obvious, and lose our minds… just a little bit. Plus, we talk about the ethical dilemma of dating twelve or more people at the same time.

It’s pretty clear from the reviews of 4 Corners Coffee — we should have ordered the breakfast sandwich. 4 Corners Coffee Review on Yelp

Spoiler: Just like every week… we ruin Inception. JP almost ruins Game of Thrones, but somehow manages to back out at the very last minute.

This week, JP and Steve eat two enormous biscuits and we’re really sorry. Genuinely though, we’ve stopped eating in future podcasts…

We talk about going back to work after vacations, whether solid foods matter, billion dollar movie franchises, and books.

Also, we spoil Get Out a little bit (around 6:10).

This week, we explore one of life’s questions: how do we make life better for the people who make life better for us?

Also, please be aware that there are spoilers for Inception, Game of Thrones: Seasons 5 and 6, as well as the new Wonder Woman movie.

And… given JP’s intensely intimate knowledge of canine anatomy, this episode might not be safe for the little ones.

This week, Steve explains what it means to live a bathroom stall lifestyle.

The topics are coming easier, the sound is getting crisper, and the conversation is getting deeper (marginally). We talk the living nature of ideas, steve’s bathroom stall origin story, nudity monitors in iceland, JP’s world famous bolognese, and how writing code is kind of sort of like writing music.

Spoiler alert: we don’t ruin anything this week! Well, a book (Big Magic). But only a little.

This week, Andre the Giant joins us for a very special episode. Although it seems like they might be stumbling around in the dark — JP even asks to turn the lights off at one point — our heroes are getting closer to figuring out what this podcast is supposed to be about.

Along with debating what we should name this thing, we share our summer plans, reminisce about a certain "crossover" band, flip flop over which limbs are most important to us, and figure out who JP would steal from.

Spoiler alert: we ruin Seinfeld, parts of West World, and probably plenty of other things. Sorry.
