Intro: Take time to appreciate the little things and revel in God’s diverse artwork. Study the mundane to find the extraordinary.

Between the Couch Cushions: “Wayne’s World” and “My Side of the Mountain”

Main Topic: How do you eat an elephant one bite at a time, when you feel like there is a herd of elephants to eat and they’re all going bad at the same time? Which one do you eat first? HOW DO YOU NOT GO CRAZY AND STRESS QUIT??

This is a landmark episode because the boys address their first listener question as the main topic! How do you lead in a relationship if you feel inferior to the woman? Jason does a great job losing his voice by the end of the episode, so Ethan carries this one handily.

Intro: Ethan has conclusive evidence that women and low-T men shouldn’t be entrusted with voting.

Between the Couch Cushions: Two more great media recommendations from fellas with great taste. Jason talks about the children’s novel “Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH,” and Ethan recommends the classic TV show, “Cheers.”

Tell your friends and your dads about the show. Your mom already listens apparently.

Is the pursuit of wealth wrong? No. But the love of it is.

Pursue wealth for the right reasons: Glorifying God and promoting the Gospel news. God gave you talents, wealth, status, position, looks, stature, opportunity, EVERYTHING.

Give it all back, brothers and sisters.

If you’re entering the workforce, there’s no denying that you’ve been dealt a poor hand. The previous generations have borrowed from your future to pad their lifestyle and retirements…

… So what are you waiting for? You’ve got to work harder than the last generation or two because you’re starting further back on the racetrack than they did. You’ve got ground to make up, man.

Remember, in a historical context, there are billions of men before you who also had it really rough. But they had to make it work, and so do you. Be a man, play the hand you’re dealt as best you can. Keep your head down and don’t let the online spirit of depression, angst, bitterness, and despondency get you down. That’s a cop-out, and that’s not you. God doesn’t hand out excuses for difficult circumstances. Invest your talent and increase it, don’t bury it in the ground.

Note: This one is a little shorter, but it’s extra sweet to make up for it. We weren’t able to use the majority of the introductory rambling. Sorry about that, more business and less play in this episode.

In this episode, Ethan and Jason rehash the complexity vs simplicity debate.

Heads up, this episode was recorded under the pretense that we lost episode 61 which we, obviously, did not actually lose. So some of the conversation will be… redundant.

Ethan and Jason discuss the recent controversy over H-1B visas, sparked, in part, by Vivek Ramaswamy. Is he right? Maybe a little, but not a lot. Should you sit around and complain that American jobs are being taken by foreign workers? No, you should get out there anyway and find a work-around.

Heads up, there’s some very frank discussion about race and the definition of racism here, so put on your big boy pants.

Disclaimer: Due to Episode 61 having been temporarily lost for a couple weeks, Ethan and Jason repeated their recommendations for Between the Couch Cushions in this episode. So if they sound familiar… That’s because they are.

In this episode, Jason and Ethan discuss the power of markets and their increasing complexity.

Bro you don’t have to make everything so dark and homosexual.

In this episode, Jason and Ethan discuss some of the red/green flags you might find in an young lady.

The boys dig deep into the power of the mind. Do you really know what it is that you want, bro?
