Mind Under Myq

Today we have 2 of the co-founders of Meow Wolf on the show! Meow Wolf is a unique art collective that started as a small group of artists in Santa Fe, New Mexico, dumpster diving for materials and creating immersive art installations in temporary spaces. Over the years, the group grew and evolved into a permanent business, creating an immersive art empire that has captivated audiences around the world. We explore the origins of Meow Wolf and how they grew from a small group of artists to a massive art collective that spans multiple locations and has hundreds of employees. We also learn about the unique culture of Santa Fe and how it attracts artists and creatives from around the world. We delve into the psyche of the city and explore why it has become a hub for fringe thinkers, psychonauts, and transients. https://meowwolf.com/about Thanks so much for listening, watching, and supporting the show!

The Offsprung Boys of Comedy reflect on some of the generational and regional anomalies between humans and most other life on the planet. We're one of the few species that care for our children's children, even after we are unable to reproduce. We discuss some of our own relationships with our grandmothers and share some fun memories. Watch The OBC™ on YT or Spotify or listen wherever you podcast to get the answers to life’s most important questions.

The Catnip Boys of Comedy™ explore the evolution of (lack of) domestic of our toxoplasmic friends. Most domesticated animals have been drastically shaped by humans.  Livestock has been bred to our tastes.  We selected the best horses and donkeys to lug us around.  Humans domesticated wolves into hundreds of unrecognizable dogs with looks, traits, and personalities to suit our specific preferences.  Yet, in the thousands of years that cats have lived with humans, they have stubbornly remained unchanged. Cats are independent creatures who seem to be able to take or leave us.  It seems we may need them more than they need us.  That is certainly the cast with the one cat that The CBC™ cannot live without.  MUM mascot Yoshi recently used up his first of 9 lives and there is a vet bill to prove it.  To raise funds, we are running a merch sale for Ramin’s cat.
