    Lia Thomas and the Question of a Level Playing Field

    Kris starts by mentioning the amazing Radiolab Football episode -and is soon standing at the intersection of sewing footballs on sweaters, politics, equality in sports, and women's rights. It's a busy intersection. Dan wonders why trans-rights, though important, are a neon headline every day. Kris agrees with Martina Navratilova that Lia Thomas competing in the women's category is unfair to the other athletes. Is there a real physiological advantage as a trans-woman athlete? Do we have to choose between cis-women athletes rights and trans-women athletes rights? Should playing fields be broken down into weight and height? Popovich hired a female coach for his NBA team. Dan and Andy doubt there could be a woman or a trans-man in the NFL. Does the word woman mean different things to different generations? An Asian-American comedian doesn't want netflix to throw him a bone because it improves their optics. Questions to consider: What does a level playing field even look like? Want more?

    The Big One Part 3: Roe v. Wade is Overturned and Clarence Has All the Snacks

    The last part of our discussion regarding where abortion rights stand in America. Starting with....the Sports Illustrated 1992 Kathy Ireland Swimsuit Issue? Also, what can we agree on, mail order abortion, conspiracy Kris and conspiracy Dan have a case for big pharma, herbal abortions, and, btw, women can vote and own property now. Dan argues the current system ain't so bad, it's main purpose is to state how the government can't infringe on rights and freedoms. Kris says they need to be updated. Is our government like OK parenting? E pluribus unum means a couple different things. Jefferson has time to edit the bible while his lady friends raise his children, Uncle Sam is kind of like Jesus...Were the founding fathers working for the greater good? Did it work because Dems and Reps had a common enemy? Are we better people than politicians? Make some peace with your own limitations, set boundaries, try not to burn out on all the noise in the "free" world. Want more?

    The Big One: Part 2. Roe v. Wade is Overturned and We Could All Use a Civics Lesson.

    This episode continues our deep dive into the overturning of Roe v. Wade. We discuss Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey from Netflix, Dan assures us that we can stay calm; we're not at Handmaids Tale level in this country...and we're still pretty rational up in here. Eyes on the ball- the issue is bodily autonomy, not the question of when life begins. Where does religion and the belief that God is the ultimate authority intersect with those who believe they are their own authority? Two people make a baby. Kris has a cousin who is a cloistered nun. Dan has a family member who is happily a housewife, hard-core Catholic, and Pro-Choice. Dan encourages us to consider all ideas including the ideas we disagree with. Andy asks: Are we sure life is actually sacred? Do justices have agendas? What are laws really for? We all need a civics lesson. Want more?

    The Big One: Part 1. Roe v. Wade is Overturned. Plus, Disaster Media, Madonna, and Over-Cooked Noodle Arrows Aim for Justice

    In this multi-parter, we three non-experts talk our way through the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Kris shares an original essay that talks about justice, abortion, slippery slopes, people marrying pets, Madonna, and how fun sex is. We consider what is the right thing to do when there are so many options and opinions about what is right? How do you go to work and live a life while also allowing for the time management that reading news, managing plastic bags, grappling with climate change, and generally thinking about things requires? Media fatigue. Why is every news story presented at Volume 12 levels? UFO's exist, dinosaurs had a really bad day when glass rained down from the sky, maybe releasing unsupervised toddlers into the Supreme Court is a good idea. It's just the beginning folks. Want more?

    41. Playing the Long Game: Sacrificing Income to Raise Babies, Bonding vs Warehousing, and Grandma Dunks on Uncle Wally with a Ball in Both Hands

    Raising children is not just raising children. It's planting the seeds for all kinds of relationships further down the road: personal, societal, cultural, behavioral, and environmental. And, as Jeremy points out, it lays the foundation for complex decision making later in life. Who we are to our kids when they are seeking to bond and what we prioritize affects what and who they bond to later. This episode dives into stay-at-home dads, Andrew Yang, universal basic income, warehousing kids, the biological drive to be close to your offspring, and how the economy has not caught up with the realizations that having close and healthy early bonding of one parent or family member creates a rich future for all.

    The Parenting Evolution

    Discussions about the evolution of parenting are endless, but we whittled it down to a couple hours for you. In this episode, Dan and Kris reveal their cigarette journeys which leads to a conversation about teenagers and rebellion. Andy shares an original poem about the bittersweet experience of watching your little girl grow up. We discuss how much has changed over one generation: the definitions of discipline, generosity, and what it means to be a good parent. We discuss the importance placed on seeing your kids for who they are, not who you want them to be...and how that was often a foreign concept for our own parents and grandparents. Also, when to get involved as a parent and when to stay in your own lane, when to keep adult kids at home and when to add a little glass to the nest. Want more?
