  • TDA022 - Artistic Intent (Pt. 1)

    In this episode, the boys delve into the intent behind various forms of art and also discuss the amount of luck necessary/the factors at play when talking about achieving success as a creative. We also talk about the state of the weed market in SWVA, hear Ben get irritated at Alex for semantically arguing over the objective fundamentals of art, and arrive at the conclusion that the Christian version of the end times is finally upon us, and that Elon Musk is the Antichrist foretold.

  • TDA021 - What’s Next?

    The boys are finally back to commence the new year and the new season with massive celebration. They both get a little drunk on extremely expensive champagne and rant about the horrors of making websites, designing merch, and rolling out a nearly fully rebranded show within a month and a half while unveiling what we have in store for the podcast!

    Some important highlights:

    -Alex put his dog down.

    -Ben got an apartment in Charlotte.

    -Alex is once again a single man, as he should be.

    -Ben became obsessed with his iPad and became a digital artist.

    -Building websites is a bullshit process.

  • TDA020 - Creating Our Own Religion

    With this episode we will officially and indefinitely conclude our first season by capping off our primary topic of the year; Religion. This time, for once, we aren't criticizing the legitimacy of anybody else's religion, but rather creating our own cult...I mean, religion. Intrinsic Naturalism and the Covenant of  Six. Finally, the boys discuss a range of topics in this final episode of the season from the oldest civilizations in the world and their influence on language and culture henceforth to the genocides of religion throughout the ages before we prepare to take a one month hiatus from releasing episodes to rebrand the entire show, expand our reach into a larger number of outlets, and simultaneously release large troves of bonus content, both free and Patreon-subscriber-exclusive. Stay tuned for additional holiday and non-holiday bonus content before the REBRAND rolling out on January 1st!

  • TDA019 - The Importance Of New Environments (And Another Religious Rant)

    In this penultimate episode, the boys discuss the importance of new experiences and environments, how diversity leads to objectivity, and how Alex's unprecedented amount of travel throughout his life have led him to two primary conclusions: That people are both exactly the same and entirely different no matter where you go. We also talk how Ben received karma for trying to get out of recording the podcast in the form of hitting a deer with his car, how Alex's two biggest fears are heaven and hell, the importance of eustress, and how Alex is the hypocritical Christian that Ben wishes his family could be. Unfortunately, the conversation once again devolves into an argument about the fallacy of belief in an afterlife, why God is not worthy of worship, and a strangely Ken-Ham-Like rant from Alex.

  • TDA018 - Drugs Pt. 2

    Ben finally comes clean about his nicotine problem and why he lied on the last drug episode...

    We also discuss our experiences with psychedelics, stimulants and other experimental drugs from stupid eras long forlorn. On the philosophical front, we talk about losing connection to reality and what reality means in the first place as well as a lengthy tangent on Ben’s extreme addiction to GTA Online. Lastly, we discuss the dichotomy between Alex’s filtration of his true self around his parents vs. Ben’s attempts to become even more unapproachable.

  • TDA017 - The Importance of Being True To Oneself

    In a world where the vast majority of people aspire to act like a carbon copy of one another, the only way to develop your own truly unique voice is to embrace your personal or artistic self and remain true to that. Anything that is considered great art or achieves a high level of notoriety will always receive hate due to its boldness or unique controversy. The boys discuss why balancing humility and narcissism is a key element to both creativity and to one’s own self-awareness or objectivity as well as the pains of having to hide who you truly are amongst other people. We also talk about the reasons why it is so important to mitigate the influence of or entirely remove these people from your life. Who do you become when you sacrifice the inherent parts of yourself for the sake of being accepted by conformists?

  • TDA016 - Being Fulfilled

    The boys dive into productivity, motivation, and what it means to be truly fulfilled. Is it plausible for this generation to retire in the intended manner or is it a fools dream? What is the common denominator between all successful entrepreneur?

    We also discuss how both political parties are mirror images of one another and will bring about futures undesirable to objective people.

  • TDA015 - QANON

    Today the boys get red pilled and discover the harsh truth of America: That Donald Trump is the prophesied savior and the only rich person capable of stopping the evil leftist Hollywood pedophile cannibals.

    We also dive into the Alex’s severe (to say the least) nicotine problem and discuss the age old question: Is cake better than pie?

  • TDA014 - Christian Nationalism Pt. 2

    The boys are going to church, again. This time taking an even deeper dive into Christian Nationalism and the havoc it‘a wreaking in our political system.

    From the Christian Yahweh to Tim Henson’s absurdly delicious “Playing God”, we looks at Gods in all forms.

  • TDA013 - Christian Nationalism Pt. 1

    The boys are going to church? Christian Nationalism is currently one of the biggest threats to the U.S. Government and is already been undermining the constitutional rights for decades, climaxing thus far with the overturning of Roe V. Wade several months ago.

    In this episode, we dissect the legitimacy of Judeo-Christian principles and explore the idea of America's founding under Protestant principles. Were the founding fathers all really Christian? Just how much of a separation of church and state did they really intend? And what is the future of the entanglement between Christian Nationalism and right-wing politics?
