Testing Normal

Here we go again with a new week. 2nd amendment rights are in question, and the President is telling us that the constitution isn’t set in stone. We think this is concerning for different reasons, but the most important thing to do is to freely talk about it. We got asked during this episode if we are still friends again, and the answer is “yes”. Conversations and discussions are just so abnormal these days that I think some of us forget what it was like when arguments and discussions drew us closer to each other and we could learn from our differences and disagreements. Maybe you don’t agree with one of us… that is okay.

People rarely ever use their glove compartments for storing gloves.

Marrying a cousin is associated with really high and really low society.

You don't understand how many things a muscle does, until that muscle is sore.

Somebody is going to be the worlds first space pirate and probably just for the title alone.

Humans can be pretty savage. Eating something's muscles isn't enough, rather we sometimes prefer to grind up the muscles and shove them in the creature's intestines because it holds better on a bbq.

Computers are the only thing where too much heat can cause freezing.

It's a thin line between being the cool uncle and being the weird uncle.

A circle can be easily used to represent both a "whole" and a "hole"

The more intelligence someone has, the more willing they are to admit what they don't know.

It was only a matter of time before a company with some reputation put some confidence in cryptocurrency. This morning Tesla disclosed that they had purchased 1.5 billion in bitcoin (a reported 10% of their holdings) and we think this is a big deal. Some doctors discovered something odd about the new iPhone that could kill some people, Google is still removing accounts for little to no reason, celebrities are mounting rocks to their heads and so much more. Shower thoughts were shared and we learned some things as well. Just to set the record straight: No Curtis and Jordan aren’t fighting. We have some different opinions on some things, but share a lot of the same values in life. This is what conversations look like, and we want to make it more common to listen to those around us an their perspectives on things that we may not see eye to eye on. We think it actually can make the world a better place to live, and it gets boring if we only surround ourselves with people we agree with. If you could join us for the “after show” discussion you’d see that we most always leave laughing at ourselves.

TIL sand is the second-most consumed resource on the planet (after water) and we're running out of it. The problem lies in the type of sand we are using. Desert sand is largely useless to us. The overwhelming bulk of the sand we harvest goes to make concrete, and for that purpose, desert sand grains are the wrong shape. Eroded by wind rather than water, they are too smooth and rounded to lock together to form stable concrete. The sand we need is the more angular stuff found in the beds, banks, and floodplains of rivers, as well as in lakes and on the seashore. Why the world is running out of sand
