Rocket Surgery (Deep Thought for Dummies)

Scheduling issues meant we didn't see each other till this morning, so its another late drop....apologies.
This week we wade into water that could get both of us in trouble, however we think this is a conversation that many of us should be having across generations.
Its really saying just because one generation thinks a certain way about different topics does not make them wrong....so a little care and tolerance is valuable.
also, hang around till the very end.....might be a little surprise outtake as well.

A tough week for Chris, meant we didn't do a specific topic this week. We simply chose to have a chat and see where that landed. Today was about the worst day in the chemo cycle; thankfully he should start to feel better over the next week.

This week we are joined by our very first guest, the dick himself, Woody. (hehe)

We get into the importance of not being a pushover pussy, and have a bit of fun examining Chris' trials and tribulations with the fairer sex.

Enjoy.

After last week's F&%# up we return with a good sized chat about mainly TV shows we loved growing up, but also a bit of chat about movies as well.

This week we recorded about an hour of conversation about TV shows we loved as kids and the shows our kids watched (and we loved just as much as them).

Unfortunately, the technology gods decided that there was way too much perfect gold in what we were saying so they decided to "lose" half the episode to the ether.

End result is we have about 15 minutes of us talking about ourselves, and another 15 about some of the TV we loved.

We have decided this is a good topic that we could really do at least another hour on, so you will get part 2 next week.

(bonus: my kids have been calling for a shorter ep length, so we get to satisfy them a little this week!!)

This week we take the gloves off, and put a challenge to people to show a little more resilience, but more important ensure your children have it in spades.

We also respond to some unkind feedback from a couple of regular listeners, who have suggested that we may have gone a little too PC in the last few weeks, and we are showing boring and wanker signs.

I think it was the kick in the ass we needed....let us know what you think.

We decided that there isn't enough places where people can get information on how our system of government works. So this week we go through this. You will be surprised to hear that 90% of it is fairly non-partisan (a big feat for Chris) but he does manage to get the odd political view in there.

Technical difficulties meant we had to go back and re-record half the episode, so our apologies for the late drop of this one. Hopefully we can get back to our regular Friday evening publication this week.

Enjoy.

Didn't they just do this one? No, Stoic Philosophy is not Socratic Philosophy. One is the teachings of Socrates in particular, however Stoic philosophy is more targeted on you personally.

For the most part, Chris explains the concept in detail, while Gary just tries to keep up and make it look like he knows more than you think.

And apparently, Stoicism is back in vogue with the Millennials, so its taken 58 years but aparently Chris is part of something trendy in the world!

Thanks again for listening.
