    Cilantro and Timezones

    Cilantro and Timezones

    So many things keeping John up at night...so little time! You know how timezones all converge on the north and south poles? If all timezones converge, what time is it on the north pole? And in a completely unrelated vein, why does cilantro taste like s*** to some people? John's friend Dan suffers from this ailment (allegedly, maybe he was just using this as an excuse not to try John's guacamole). Two questions keeping John up at night, a mid-podcast strip show...Ryan's going to have his hands full this episode!

    Morality: Nature Vs. Nurture (With Special Guest Peter Donahue)

    Morality: Nature Vs. Nurture (With Special Guest Peter Donahue)

    Devoted Bedbug Brian Morales has posed a question to John...a question that is now keeping John up at night. Is human morality decided more by nature or by nurture? Are we born with an inherent sense of right and wrong? Or is it something we learn through experience? Move over science, things are getting a bit philosophical on the pod tonight! Ryan's intimidated (academically and sexually) so we brought on Peter Donahue, philosopher extraordinaire, to answer this week's topic!

    JFK and Jeffrey Epstein (With Special Guest Peter Kuchar)

    JFK and Jeffrey Epstein (With Special Guest Peter Kuchar)

    In his youth John was a kind, trusting individual who believed the US government had our best interests at heart. But now as a cold, hardened 29-year-old he has his doubts...what is the US government lying to us about?? It's been keeping John up for decades now! Ryan's truth serum still needs a little work in the lab. So we brought in our favorite conspiracist, Peter Kuchar, to illuminate two of the greatest coverups in U.S. history!

    The Monomyth (With Special Guest Conor Lloyd)

    The Monomyth (With Special Guest Conor Lloyd)

    John was watching a documentary one time and it mentioned the Monomyth? Something about every story low key being the same story? Doesn't seem to make sense but apparently it's a thing. Ryan knows his science but he's completely clueless when it comes to literature. And love. But literature is the more relevant thing for this episode. Luckily a member of Ryan's other podcast, My Favorite Anime, is a professional book editor with a wealth of literary knowledge. Conor Lloyd is the podcast guest John needs if he's ever going to get to sleep tonight.
