Episode 31: Sharing Believies
The Cordial Discourse Boys of Comedy™ continue the third part of the Political Compass survey.
What if instead of thinking about politics as two-sided, we considered where we might fall within four quadrants of a political compass? Sometimes we might be surprised where we fall on a given issue when we actually talk through each one. Even when people always vote one way, it is often the case that their views on a specific issue are less one-sided than we assume.
Episode 30: Morbid Curiosities
The Slightly Morbid and Extremely Curious Boys of Comedy™ new costumes for a second Halloween episode.
This week, we talk about the psychology of horror.
Most life on earth tends to avoid scary situations. So why are so many humans drawn toward horror movies, haunted houses, and other situations where we intentionally confront fear, violence, death and disgust for recreation?
Episode 29: Origins of Halloween
The Spooky Voids and Visionaries of Comedy™ release the first of two Halloween episodes. This week Shane and Ramin get dressed up in their finest morph suits to discuss the origins and evolution of Halloween. How did seasonal change influence the morbid themes of this centuries-old tradition? How did the ancient practices of witchcraft go from being the respected, gender-neutral medical care of the time to the demonization of women?
Episode 28: Wishing Everyone Well
The Guinea Pigs of Comedy ™ continue with part two of the political compass scale.
Each survey question makes for a great jumping-off point for fun philosophical discussions of worldviews and is almost like a mini-episode.
Episode 27: Meditation
The Mindful Boys of Comedy™ meditate on meditation.
Shane recently had a wonderful mushroom trip that he was trying to use as a reset before Sober October. In the process he started getting back into meditation, so we thought it was the perfect time to explore the topic.
