23. Are we creatures of rhythmic evolution?

This episode was recorded In mid-August 2023, where we talked about some of the nuances of augmentative/alternative communication support for people with developmental challenges in that department, and what this can teach us about ourselves, and how varying autism spectrum disorder can be from one individual to the next. We get into some fun topics like the missing link in human evolution, lending to a more-likely-than-not chromosome intervention, and the role of our microbiome; to the point where it's sad to think how ignorance of such potential can lead to similar scenarios, like that of the one Mike Judge depicts in his film, Idiocracy.

22. Tending to the soul's health

This episode was recorded in late October of 2023. We talked about how living in the world means living with each other, and that every individual needs to find a way to summon their own unique capacity for work ethic, in a way that supports sustainable co-habitation. One of the ways we explore the possibilities for healing and resolution is through the research of The Institute of HeartMath. You can also check out Gregg Braden's work HERE.
Hopefully, we can find a sense of hope and appreciation for who we are, and what we have to work with, on an individual level through the new research on the energetic relationship between the heart and the brain. And recognize what the healthcare system is doing to our perspectives of our health.

21. Before and after a TOOL show

This episode was recorded as a two-parter. The first half was recorded on November 9th, 2023 before we attended a Tool concert in Manchester, NH. The second half of the episode was recorded on November 19th, a week after the show, when we debriefed how incredible it was, what the band's work has meant to us over the years, and what it means to have hope, inspiration, and appreciation in our lives. 
Big thanks to Danny, Adam, Justin, and Maynard for an epic experience that we'll never forget!

20. Are we okay with being alone?

This episode was recorded on the back deck during a breezy day in mid-August of 2023. We discussed a wide range of topics from chronic back pain, to being mired as a species in the constant loops of virtue-signaling, to exploring a means of how to play the game of life with confidence. "Offense wins games, defense wins championships" as the saying goes.
Cheers to you all for tuning in! We hope you enjoy this conversation. Big shout out to D3: The Mighty Ducks' coach O'Ryan for a beautiful speech that we captured as a sound bite to add a flare to the conversation. And a major shout out to Puscifer for their song, Trekka from their recent "V is for Versatile" remix album. Thank you for all the inspiration you provide for us!

19. Kumari coaching

In this episode, we interviewed ChrisP's mom, Kumari Patricia about her work and practice. Nothing weird. Just a good old-fashioned conversation with an elder who knows some shit.

18. Incentivized growth

In this episode, we discuss how muscle memory differs from cellular memory, such as leaving one’s valuables on top of their car. We also discuss heart intelligence, morphogenesis, heart transplants, memory transference, the marshmallow test, self-reliance, and simulation theory.
We would like to thank Benjamin Hoff for his brilliant book, The Tao of Pooh, which we took the liberty of sharing a section from its audiobook version that imparts a deeper wisdom we can all get on board with.

17. Is government futile?

In this episode, we discuss the follies of governments in general and attempt to find our sovereignty. It starts with redefining a sense of control itself. We hope you enjoy it.

16. Laughter, friendship, and high voltage

This episode was recorded in mid-August of 2023. We talked about the different forms of electricity and its circulatory delivery system and scale...during a thunderstorm, no less. Being surrounded by a storm, we appreciated just how powerful this realm is, and how it can come down at any time. This is humbling to know, and humiliating to think we are somehow in charge. And that's what friends are for, too.

15. Heads out of the sand and popping echo-chambers

This episode was recorded in early August of 2023 when we were still working out the audio kinks for quality sound. (Apologies for the poor sound quality.) Please enjoy this conversation about the extremism of the anti-racism movement and the virtue-signalist mentality that comes with it, our lack of true meritocracy, and how this consumes society. This episode also touches on some ideas from ChrisP's book, Cognitive Liberty that talks about cultural autism when relating it to the monetary system as a whole and the debt slavery we are subjected to. 
Huge shout out to Monty Python! Thank you guys for giving us some of the best comedy of our lifetime to remedy our confusion and fundamentalism. And thanks for the wonderful outro!

14. Maintain equilibrium and tame the beast within

In this episode, we started by paying tribute to the great Chris Farley, one of our favorite comedic actors of our generation. We miss you, Farley! R.I.P....
We discussed ways to maintain equilibrium and how important it is to acknowledge the monsters that live inside us, how to tame them, and take responsibility for neglecting to do so. "Fuck around and find out" is a phrase that comes up often in this conversation, as we cover the imperative need to hold each other accountable to stay in our respective lanes. As we rediscover our roots, and find what truly resonates with our "ikigai" (a term we observe in this discussion) this message simply becomes an indisputable truth the more we work to help each other find our way and mind our own business.
