    Tasty Procrastinashy

    Do you believe there can be such a thing as productive procrastination (or as I call it 'tasty procrastinashy').  Here's the idea. Most people are going to procrastinate. It's a behavior that is rampant now more than ever. So what I'm suggesting here is that if you're going to procrastinate anyway, why not make it useful for you?  Thomas and Alex rip the idea to shreds, but I guess only you can decide if it holds up in the end. We also hit on the idea of productive downtime-- maximizing the time you're stuck with nothing to do (like being in line at the grocery store). Instead of mindlessly scrolling social media, is it possible to use that scattered time in small chunks to get things finished? I'm interested to see what you all think, and if you've given either of these principles a try.

    Hey There, Sugar!

    Alright, so for a full 30 days, a few people in our family (me, my wife, and my mom) decided to cut any sugar that doesn't occur naturally, dairy, grains (and other things) on a program called the Whole30. It's basically a way to "reboot" your body, and then slowly reintroduce foods to see what has adverse affects on you. (One note is that it's not paleo or keto, you can have sugars in fruit. Mmm. Fruit. Oh, also potatoes. So yeah, it's not no/low carb.) It was astounding how much cutting out sugar made me feel. Like, yikes. And buddy, the grogginess and headaches you have that first week are ROUGH (and prove how much my body was relying on sugar.  I learned a lot, but I think what surprised me the most was how many foods contain sugar. I'm talking about foods that many would consider "healthy". Things like:  Pasta sauce Canned soup Granola bars Yogurt Fruit juice The list goes on and on.  Anyway, it definitely changed the way I eat, and now that I've added back in some dairy and other things, it's very sustainable. If you're interested in learning more, this episode of UltraMultifarious is all about sugar, and some of the facts might surprise you.

    Let's Be Real, Your Realism Isn't Real Enough

    Greetings friends and Multifarians! Have you ever been reading a book, watching a movie, or enjoying a television show when the writers blatantly break their own rules? If so what was an instance of this that has stuck with you? We also talk about the realism of media, and the new expected benchmarks, and how the television show CSI had a strange and unexpected effect on the actual American criminal justice system.  We hope you enjoy, and keep on Multifarian'.

    "I am Galac-Tim... Eater of... STUFF!"

    Here's a question for all of my friends. Have you become pickier about what sorts of media you'll devote your time to? With the vast number of television shows, movies, books, music, and games to experience, have you found that your tastes are a little more stringent? Or is it the opposite? Will you muscle through less enjoyable things? In this episode, we discuss how I (Tim) have become a bit of a picky, planet-eating monster when it comes to finding the next piece of media to consume. Whether it's an album a television show, movie, book or any other media, is being extra selective a curse of entitlement, and am I missing out? Or am I creating a more refined, curated experience?  Join me and Alex as we talk this through, and try to come to terms with what it means and whether it's good or bad.

    Is Your Brain a Liar, You Werewolf?

    Have you ever seen something that you're certain was real, but that no one would ever believe? If so (and you're willing to share), we'd love to hear about it. In this episode, we talk about a person who told Alex they had seen-- and possibly killed- a werewolf. This person was perfectly rational and seemingly sane in every other way, but believed this to be true.  So, was it true? And is the brain a reliable machine when it comes to showing us what our reality truly is? Let's find out using some *Armchair Science.*
