The Unbearable Lightness of the Corrosion of Conformity. Life has this odd tension between wanting to fit in, go along and get along, be a good teammate or co-worker or whatever, and then at the same time, fully inhabiting your own identity (whatever that is) in order to stand out and remind yourself that you’re […]

The No Good, Very Bad Words. Every week we rewrite our content warning because we’re required somehow to warn people that we use profanity and sometimes talk about the immense size of horse penises. At the same time, folks are bumbling about their everyday lives using terrible words that we find more offensive than all […]

Sometimes 2+2=5. The basic premise of today’s show is the basic premise of the show, by which we mean that we’ve been hearing from people who find whatever it is we’re doing here helpful. They’re inspired or encouraged or they learn something about themselves as we talk about ourselves and our challenges. It’s weird. Neither […]

Resolving Not to Resolve, But Secretly Resolving. Oh, we’re all too cool for New Years’ resolutions. They’re so stupid. But actually, we spend all of our time trying to turn over new leaves, trying to pick the lock of everyday happiness, and we’re CONSTANTLY resolving to be different or better in some way. So it’s […]

The Over/Under on the Under/Over. Today we’re gonna play a fun little game of overrated/underrated with an array of people, bands, ideas and foods. This should help you adjust your attitudes to the reality we live in, or at the very least give you reasons to send us angry emails, which we enjoy thoroughly. Music […]

Sympathy for the Devil. Human people are terrible, and we’re no exception. It’s hard to understand how you’re supposed to love your fellow person when they are constantly doing dumb shit and spouting terrible ideas. Again, we are not an exception to this rule. But today we’re going to talk about how to be better […]

Human people are terrible, and we’re no exception. It’s hard to understand how you’re supposed to love your fellow person when they are constantly doing dumb shit and spouting terrible ideas.
