#005 - People Pleasing

In this episode, we take a reflective look at the daily habits and routines that we've accumulated over these past few months of quarantine. From our morning rituals to sleep regiments, we attempt to deconstruct what has and hasn't been serving us in these crazy times.

In this episode we're pullin' the trigger...on triggers. Why are so many of us so easily offended by so many things? Has social media become the perfect petri dish for the proliferation of anger and outrage? And can road rage be a meditational teacher, rather than ulcer-inducing recreation? It's time to lower the blood pressure once and for all.

In this episode we explore the paradigm shattering universe of psychedelics. Are these substances portals to alternate planes of reality and consciousness? Do they hold the secret code to existence? And what the f*ck are Machine Elves?

In this episode we try to untangle the mangled mores of modern masculinity. Are men improving? Can "manliness" make room for more vulnerability, a higher EQ, and deeper levels of empathic understanding? Or are misguided Marlboro men and testosterone soaked wife beaters here to stay?...Let's hope not. 

In this episode we dissect the dogmatic doozy that is religion. Did Jesus ever get a boner? Can megachurch pastors be squeezed through the eye of a needle?...and other such age old questions.

In this episode we've decided to tackle this little thing called the Coronavirus. It's a heavily under publicized and virtually unknown topic that we felt needed some light shed upon it. So grab a notepad and get ready to take notes, cuz you might not hear about this anywhere else. 

In this episode we're penetrating the seductive world of sex. From kinks and fetishes to porn addiction and depression. Do most draw a line at all things poop? Is is wrong to think that feet are gross? And is it possible to find peace and balance in a societal sea of sexual signals? Cue the K-Y, cuz we're goin' conversationally spread eagle on this one.

In this episode we try to cover the questions of the cosmos and consciousness. Is Mr. Musk onto something? Are we indeed in a simulation? Or is this simply the newest way humans are attempting to make sense of the perplexing nature of existence? (Initiate boot up sequence.)

In this episode we talk about what it was like to be raised in a small town and what implications that has had on our adulthood. Was it helpful? A hindrance? Did it F#*k us up irrevocably? We'll see if we can excavate some useful insights.

In this episode we dig into the disease to please. Are we actually trying to be good people? Or is people pleasing a symptom of something much deeper?
