Shores Of Ignorance

Recorded September 9th.

School, COVID, Quotas at Oscars and artistic freedom, and defunding critical race theory instead of the police.

Recorded September 2nd. Hey, wanna get together and take our masks off?

Recorded August 26th. How have you changed since COVID?

Recorded August 19th. Instead of a yard sign that say "I'm so gonna vote" I want a sign that says "I'm so glad you get to vote"

Recorded August 12th. How do you stay informed without going crazy? Tiger King has come to Matt’s house. Max Weber suggested that the state should have a monopoly on violence.

We've been behind uploading our episodes, this one was recorded on August 5th. 2020 has been a year of so much input, we've felt a little bit like over watered plants.

We’ve struggled recently with what to say, which topics to engage, and how to approach them. The result of that struggle has been a lack of engagement. I can hear it in our voices, and I don’t like it.

This week we invited Alison back to join the conversation and she pushed us to break the lines we’ve been avoiding. When I listened back to this episode I felt encouraged again about what we’re doing here. I was reminded again why I like doing it.

I hope you enjoy.

Part of achieving understanding is making room for it. Much like spring cleaning, when you purge a lot of your stuff, you can then re-examine what remains. The resulting psychological state is one of renewed and refreshed clarity.

It is helpful in a period of waiting to ask, what might I remove. What could I give up as a way to prepare myself or open myself to the things I don’t know yet.

Are we seeing some kind of breaking point? We've noticed that comedy can make way for clarity out of confusion. Not that we're funny, that's not what we do here.

"We, as a populace, are overreacting in haste to highly interpretive narratives around circumstances that we do not fully understand & seem not to want to fully understand. It is crucial we take a stand for setting the records straight." -

We made a commitment, and did not keep it. Matt and Michael discuss the Declaration of Independence, Bret Weinstein's refreshing plan to save the republic, the sovereignty of the individual, and the proper orientation between government and personal potential.

Glad to be back.
