Excuse Me, Can I X-ray your Xylophone. We’ve both been back to places we might have come from to revisit our roots, and all the while you think you’re finding a deeper part of yourself, the connections are breaking down in time. Maybe you realize you’re just a random collection of genetically encoded dust, or […]

Caring Carers Who Care. We can all agree that it’s much better to not care than to care, but sometimes you have to, and more specifically, sometimes you have to take care of something or someone you didn’t expect to. This can be mentally and emotionally draining. Why is it so hard to care for […]

As Punk as Kettlebells and Scented Candles. When you’re just a pimply-faced teen trying to establish yourself as an iconoclast and quite possibly a voice of your generation, things are pretty simple. You pull on your bondage pants and your Chuck Taylors and show the world who’s boss. Then you get old as shit and […]

The Struggle is Surreal. We want everything to be easy, but if everything comes easy, it doesn’t have a lot of value. So we need some struggle but still hate struggling. Is this why human people are so stupid? Music pick of the week: Robot – Vanishing Life – Surveillance Stevil – Poison Idea – […]

From the moment we emerged from our mothers’ wombs we were meant to be the dirt bags and derelicts we have become. But there were warning signs, critical junctures at which we might have followed different, more stable and lucrative paths, […]

Our Current Tally of Major Awards. So far we have zero Webby, iHeartRadio or People’s Choice podcast awards, the same total as George Clooney. Also no Pulitzers or Nobels, but usually those get awarded years after your major accomplishments, so we’re not sweating it. This week’s topic is figuring out how to go on with […]

For Our Next Trick, We’ll Need a Volunteer. We always say we’re doing the only things we know how to do, but that’s a cop out. We could be carpet salesmen or tree surgeons. We could be the Sigfried and Roy of a casino in a minor media market. We could be satanic priests or […]

The Best Defense Is to Be Extremely Offensive. We’re living in the age of outrage, and to be fair, there’s plenty of outrageous stuff happening. At the same time, it’s worth asking what the value of being offended really is. Is it a way to drive change, or just a way to drive people more […]

Lightning in a Bottle, Thunder in a Can. We’re taking a break from the deep, philosophical explorations this show is known for to reengage with our monkey brains. It’s another lightning round of questions that don’t really deserve answers, though those are exactly the questions this podcast was designed for. Music pick of the week: […]

Stapling Bananas to the Wall. This one is partially inspired by a question from listener Oliver Beckers and partially by the deaths of Rick Froberg, Gary Flloyd and Steve Albini, and partially by the #MeToo movement and partially by the complicated business of consuming art in the information age. This week we’re talking about what […]
