March 28, 2019 Episode 48 - Have Fewer Opinions
In this episode we drank craft beer as usual and concluded a really strong opinion: we all should have fewer opinions. Why do we feel entitled to an opinion on everything? Do we vocalize our opinions in order to change the world or are we simply trying to prestige signal to our social groups? We dive into these questions, and more, along with a mind-bending "would you rather?" towards the end of the episode.
I expanded on these ideas in a short blog post which you can check out over on our website at: www.thunktankpodcast.com

March 11, 2019 Episode 46 - Would You Rather: Desert Island or A Life Raft with a Methed up Alex Jones?
Oof sorry for the long title. But I think you get the idea. We’re bringing the would you rather game back hard to our podcast, and we figured we should start with a special addition episode devoted to this wild genie game. Oh yeah, our co-host Johnny is a genie. You probably know that already, if not you should listen and find out. If genies are real, it might help you get out of a future sticky situation.

Think the world’s gone crazy? So do we! Join us this week as we deep dive into the madness that is the U.S. President Donald Trump’s declaration of a National “Emergency”.
