The week is all about the stress response, confirmation bias, and the theatrics of consciousness


The Chronically Stressed Boys of Comedy™ discuss why hippos don’t get mortgages, how nuanced hormonal interactions can say the darndest things, and why evolution hasn’t equipped life to relax at the drop of a hat.


You’ve been called for jury duty in the courtroom of the mind.  The CSBC™ contemplate how the lawyers in our minds will keep searching for evidence even after the case has closed.

Slumbering on a Knife's Edge

Two comedians explore their favorite big ideas with absurdity and openness to unravel the meanings of life.

Shane Mauss is an adventurer and award-winning stand-up who interviews scientists about the workings of life for The Here We Are Podcast.
Ramin Nazer is a multi-talented artist and viral illustrator who interviews creatives about the transcendental for The Rainbow Brainskull Hour.

After a decade of friendship and philosophical discussions, these two autodidacts have turned their conversations into a show that is equal parts thought-provoking, therapeutic, and hilarious.

Today we have 2 of the co-founders of Meow Wolf on the show!


Meow Wolf is a unique art collective that started as a small group of artists in Santa Fe, New Mexico, dumpster diving for materials and creating immersive art installations in temporary spaces. Over the years, the group grew and evolved into a permanent business, creating an immersive art empire that has captivated audiences around the world.


We explore the origins of Meow Wolf and how they grew from a small group of artists to a massive art collective that spans multiple locations and has hundreds of employees.


We also learn about the unique culture of Santa Fe and how it attracts artists and creatives from around the world. We delve into the psyche of the city and explore why it has become a hub for fringe thinkers, psychonauts, and transients.
