For this one we talked about Relationships. How to get them, how to have them, how to keep them. Basically if you are a lonely guy this is the episode for you. I think there's something in here for women too I hope. Idk really though because I don't remember what we talked about.

Here is the one where we finally do a bizarre blend of comedy and sincere self-reflection. That has never been done before on the podcast, so we are finally doing it.Look.

Here is the one where we talk about how to optimize your body. How to achieve truly superhuman strength...and we mean that mentally but also emotionally and spiritually.

This one Tom tries to drag Griffin down with him. Down into the depths of his disgusting disease - alcohol. That's probably what we talk about in this one I think probably.

So in this one we pretty much talk about pets and what it is like to both dominate and nurture a living being. We hold an awesome responsibility as humans to shape the lesser beings around us.

How to use strangers, how to become strangers, how to enjoy strangers.We're doing "scene painting" in this one. We did that for a little while but then Tom nixed that. I guess I did too. But I kinda liked it. Call me an improv nerd. If you like the scene painting about the stranger let us know in your 5 star review.

Ok for this one we actually went outside because we thought it would be fun. We hiked up with our audio gear and didn't care that lots of regular people saw us recording a podcast in the woods. We hope you go on a hike and listen to this loudly over a bluetooth speaker so everyone can hear it.By the way this is Tom writing the episode description. The picture is of me and Griffin near Mt Dana right outside Yosemite National Park. I'm in the orange hat and Griffin is in the blue hat. We did this hike after attending Mule Days in Bishop California, which is a 3-day Mule festival. It's very fun, but only for a day. So we did this beautiful hike instead. We don't talk about this in the episode, but this is the kind of bonus content you'll get from reading episode descriptions that I write.

Tom and Griffin explore the idea of education. You will listen to this and think "wow, they're still figuring it out a bit, but this is fun.

In which the guys talk about jobs. Jobs we have had mostly I think. Yes. That must be what we talked about. I hope it is good to listen to this. - Griff
