Episode 83 - The Meaning of Belief (and Meaningless All-Stars)

from GenX Guys · host JD & LEN

This week we go big-picture: what is religion, and do people truly believe—or is belief sometimes more about comfort, community, fear, hope, or how we were raised? From there we wrestle with a darker idea: if “only the good die young,” does that make it feel like evil is winning… or even running the world? Then we shift into a heavy GenX moment with the passing of Catherine O'Hara—another iconic thread tied to our childhood and the movies/TV that shaped us. We close with a sports reality check: the modern Pro Bowl Games—does it matter anymore when so many alternates get pulled in and the “honor” starts to feel watered down?
