    Science & Religion pt. 1 - Evolution

    This week, Brandon and Michael set out on another three-part series, this time, exploring two topics often pitted against each other: science and religion. But the guys argue that despite their differences, the two areas can actually get along! (Just like Michael and Brandon!) In this first episode, they tackle the topic of evolution and how Darwin himself was a devoutly religious man, who believed his scientific findings supported the existence of God.

    Exploring Tattoos

    Join Michael and Brandon as they explore the exotic landscape of the human body as canvas in the realm of tattoos!

The guys talk about the feat of engineering these little probes are, as well as the greater purpose they serve as a commentary on humanity itself. Trust us: these ARE the droids you're looking for!
