          • S01E05: That Space Baby…? That's You!

            In the space episode of Retroactive Swearing, Max gives a science lecture, after Silvano elaborates on his life philosophy. So, no surprises in this one.

            • S01E04: People Think I'm Being Serious

              In this dark (which is what the cool people now say) episode, it’s Max’s turn to reveal his lifehack. We then talk about the Holocaust, and nations and nationalism and borders, only to return to Hitler many a time, leading the conversation to drugs and status symbols here and in Asia.

                Max is really tired. Silvano teaches you how to get things done and decides to try Soylent (I ordered—my body is thanking me!). And airplanes, doode—they’re crazy.

                  • S01E01: We're Always Recording

                    In this first iteration of Retroactive Swearing Max and Silvano talk about the play (or film?) Max wants to make, creation vs. thinking in general, religion (because we want to upset everyone right away), where intellectual curiosity comes from, curiosity for curiosity’s sake, philosophy and the impact it has had on our lives as well as sleep, the beauty of the night, and the end of science, politics, and all the great ideologies.
