    93: Tired and Retired

    In this aging-themed podcast, Bennett and Daniel muse on the adventure of getting older, beginning with a vaguely age-themed Adventures in Etymology. Next, they discuss retirement; what is the purpose of retirement? What are its benefits and drawbacks, and what would happen if we retired in the middle of our lives instead of at the end?

    92: No Cameras for Old Men

    Bennett gives an 18 year out-of-date review of No Country for Old men, criticizing its postmodern qualities, and then Bennett and Daniel discuss surveillance. With the ever-present increase in technological sophistication and affordability, cameras are ubiquitous: doorbells, bodycams, traffic cameras, and more. Is this a good thing? Why do we value privacy? Is security worth it? What about cameras in the workplace, like in the classroom or in a technical field? The pros and cons are weighed, and Daniel and Bennett give their views (audio only, of course).

    91: Cream of the Crust

    Daniel and Bennett discuss the Independence Day fireworks hangover, Costco evangelism, and penny pinching before diving headlong into a long-awaited Superpowers and Drawbacks. This time, they consider the benefits of salvaged food weighed carefully against hirsute bedspreads.

    90: Wisdom of the Ages

    Bennett introduces a new segment called Wisdom of the Ages, in which he takes three common aphorisms that everyone knows and has Daniel assess the wisdom contained in them. How should we treat so-called enemies? How is it that people with seemingly incompatible characteristics end up together? Should one gravitate toward or reject stereotypes? All of these are examined, and Daniel also talks a little about the new house he's buying.

    89: Turning the Freaking Frogs Straight

    Bennett discusses the difficulty of digging holes, and then perhaps digs a metaphorical hole with this episode's spicy (or zesty?) Mind Your Morals, which focuses on homosexuality. What if a substance were invented that could eliminate the same-sex attraction and restore opposite-sex attraction? Bennett quizzes Daniel on multiple scenarios of this hypothetical drug's use to see what the moral implications of such an invention might be.

    88: 18.9 Inches

    Avocados, pumpkins, and pee durations... oh my! In this episode, Bennett tests Daniel's world record intuition, seeing if he can guess which thing is biggest in a variety of categories. It's a wholesome game, until it isn't. After the game, Bennett and Daniel discuss the inclusion of arachnophobia modes in video games and discuss how it affects accessibility, artistic vision, and the cultural norms of creativity and consumption.

    87: Take Me Out

    Slightly above average bats, phantom pitches, and a nightmarish, neverending ball game. Such is the content of the extended sports metaphor that Bennett presents to Daniel in this episode. The tale is a metaphor for dating in the current age, centering on the cultural and technological factors that make it such a dystopian hellscape. Is it uplifting? No. But it is entertaining, philosophical, humorous, and hopefully provides guidance on what is wrong and what we could change to make it better.

    86: Pregnant New Year!

    After a couple months' gap, Bennett and Daniel return from eventful holidays in this pregnant 2025. It's not pregnant with a child, but with possibilities, of course. In semi-journalistic fashion, they recount Bennett's first meeting with Cosmo, Daniel's current thoughts on fatherhood, Bennett's move into a new house, his newfound Renaissance man capabilities, and lay the groundwork for a discussion on the effects of screens on kids and how to handle their exposure.
