from Cowboys not Eggheads

Send us Fan MailThe Truman Show (Re-Release) — Fear, Truth, and the World We Think We’re Living InWhat if the world you’re living in… isn’t as real as you think?In this re-release of one of the most thought-provoking conversations we’ve had on Cowboys Not Eggheads, we use The Truman Show as a jumping-off point to wrestle with something much bigger: fear, truth, media, and the uncomfortable question of whether we’re actually seeking reality—or just comfort.This wasn’t a scripted episode. No outline. No guardrails. Just three guys—Sam, Jeremy Aspen, and Tom Becka—pushing on ideas, challenging each other, and following the conversation wherever it led. And that’s exactly what makes it worth revisiting.We get into: Why fear can both protect you and control you  Whether “your truth” is real—or just your perspective  How media and culture shape what we believe is reality  The difference between cowboys and eggheads—and why you might need both  And ultimately… who you trust when it actually matters This episode didn’t blow up the first time around—but not every conversation is built for the masses. Some are built for people willing to think a little deeper.So here it is again.At some point, like Truman, you have to decide:Are you staying where it’s comfortable… or stepping into the unknown?Hope isn't a strategy! Support the showThanks for listening!  SUBSCRIBE, Review, Rate, and Share.  Contact us: [email protected]     Let us know if you want a hat ($20), tee shirt ($30), coffee cup ($25), or window decal for your truck.
