A short episode dedicated to my mom.

Taylor sits down with Karen, a high school friend and talks about camping, hiking, COVID-19, marketing, and social etiquette. 

Everybody is growing up and having to make those adult decisions which ultimately separate close friends. The Boys reminisce about some of the good times they have had together and even share an audio clip they thought would never reach the auditory canals of anyone besides themselves. 

Dix and Taylor shoot the breeze during an overnight backpacking trip from a bat-infested cave.

Everybody is growing up and having to make those adult decisions which ultimately separate close friends. The Boys reminisce about some of the good times they have had together and even share an audio clip they thought would never reach the auditory canals of anyone besides themselves. 

Lately, in the US, many people and especially politicians, push for more legislation in response to mass shootings. We discuss why that is nearly futile. We touch on topics such as an "assault weapons" ban, "universal background checks", "red flag laws" and the 2nd Amendment. We do not pretend to know everything about this subject and so if we stated something that may be false or misconstrued, please let us know.

We talk about the divisive political culture with a long-time mentor and friend.

In this long awaited episode the Boys get back at it and are shooting the breeze, referencing some other podcasts and how our minds our constantly being fought over by multiple industries. These include but are not limited to social media, consumerism, and even drugs and pornography. They talk about what can be done to combat this "hacking" of the mind and why it is increasingly more important that we take back control of our minds.
