Episode 61: How We Roll
What does your car say about you? The Inclusive Biological Fitness Flaunting Boys of Comedy™ make it rain conspicuous consumption knowledge and fancy science vernacular. This week we discuss how organisms use costly and sometimes deceptive displays to advertise their quality to potential predators, prey, family, peers, and mates. This top shelf episode builds on some of our favorite lessons from past episodes to describe one of the ways in which we are driven to spend in ways that may seem irrational from the view of a utilitarian. The peacock’s tail might have spurred some of these early insights into...
Episode 60: Light Triad
The Angelic Boys of Comedy™ explore the light side of MUM Town. Last month people really liked our Dark Triad episode exploring Narcissism, Psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. So, we decided to make a two-part episode on The Light Triad of Compassion, Empathy, and Altruism. We discuss why dark and negative things often bias our attention and how positive psychology is attempting to bring balance to the force. Listen to The ABC™ wherever you podcast or check out the video version on Spotify or YouTube. Salivating for more? Get your own bonus episode of Mind Under ART for only $5, virtual board...
Episode 59: Fun By Nature
The World Building Boys of Comedy™ are finalizing the plans for the physical manifestation of Mind Under Matter at their Campout Festival.

All previous concerns have been replaced with excitement and dreams. Shane has even decided to move to Raleigh to build a MUM world over the summer. We had to do one final update episode to finalize the plan and now everything is ready to launch. We reflect...
Episode 58: Campout Updates
This place is insanely awesome! Shane traveled to Raleigh to see where The Campout Festival Boys of Comedy™ will be hosting the Mind Under Matter Campout Festival Sep 8 – 11th. After checking out a different campout festival here… WOW! There is no describing the excitement but we take a whack at it anyway. Lakeside Retreats is amazing and we can’t believe we are going to get to build our own Mind Under Matter World. Any anxieties that we had before seeing the place went away and now it’s time to start spreading the word and telling your friends. The...
Episode 57: Questionzilla
The Mailbag Opening Boys of Comedy™ take another round of listener questions. How did Shane and Ramin meet? Why does life keep getting weirder? Does a higher self choose to experience trauma? We are all stars, but what should you do if you meet someone famous? Listen in to hear The MOBC™ answer a fun mix-bag of questions. Make sure to comment on social media, YouTube, or (best of all) Patreon and be included in the next Q&A show!
