Opposite of Neutral

Season 2, Episode 15: Milestones


Listen Later

In this landmark 30th episode, Chris and Evan dive into the concept of milestones—both literal and metaphorical.


Exploring the origin of the term, they discuss milestones from the Roman Empire, connecting the historical markers with the metaphorical milestones in life. Reflecting on personal experiences, they uncover how milestones shift from tangible childhood achievements, like learning to ride a bike, to more nuanced adult realizations, such as recognizing a friendship or the bittersweet milestones of cleaning out a parent's home. Chris defines his lack of enthusiasm for explaining embarrassing accidents to ER doctors as a sign of reaching adulthood, and Evan shares the milestones reached after two years of doing the podcast.

Note: we had some internet issues during this episode, so the quality is a bit off in some places. Don't let that get in the way - we had a good time recording this.
