Solving Everything

We're back from hiatus and have a lot to say. We briefly catch up on Covid-related life changes and Andy's movie career, then dive into the question of "want to" vs "have to" and how that translates into sex workers, farm life, and finding meaningful work in our modern age. In this episode you will hear an acoustic version of an original song, A Song of Iowa, written by Andy's Uncle Wallace.

During our pod hiatus, we thought it'd be fun to send out some of our favorite moments. This one is from Episode 4: coach stories from our youth. "To the whistle, Nath!" Nothing can beat a great coach. Plus, a bonus original song from Kris.

A deep dive into Mel Gibson's masterpiece. We also cover Mel's troubled worldview and prejudices, and the question of whether to abandon deeply flawed artists' work.

As Dan would say....where to begin? This episode covers the Catholic God, the divinity of physics, seeking God (is Dan a Unitarian Universalist?), forgiveness, how maybe we're all like Jesus, crossing words off of Metallica albums, an ORIGINAL SONG by Andy and played by the 3 of us, the difference between censoring thoughts and encouraging discovery, the Satanic Temple, and...more. Best episode yet IMO.

If you could make a million dollars for you and your friends creating a piece of shit movie in Hawaii, would you do it?
