Hello all! So, this is it. The end of an era, but the beginning of something new a different! This show has been such an amazing experience.

We are just shifting gears to bring a little more light hearted and chaotic energy into the mix. Check out our new s...

Hello All! One thing that we love going over on this show is idioms. They are great little bite sized nuggets of philosophy and make it easy for people to digest those ideas. This week we are discussing optimism and pessimism through the lens of is the glass half empty or half full.

This topic came from a social situation where Christian was concerned with re connecting with family after being away for so long. He had so many ideas and made up stories in his mind of how the interaction may go and how they may feel about him. But that was all just made up. So, this got us thinking about how fiction can shape our reality. And we had no idea how deep this idea really goes. -----...

Hey there Mogpies! We are bringing back an oldy but a goody here. The idea of family is one that we feel we can easily picture in our minds.

Lets talk about family! -------------------- Please help us out...

Hey there Mogpies! We have reached a true milestone here!

Weight cutting and combat sports go hand in hand. To some it is just a badge of honor we wear to prove that we belong in those sports. But to others it is a horrible ordeal that people put themselves through for no good reason. And while there are a lot of terrible dangerous outcomes from cutting weight there are some memories that we have that can only be earned by going through that process. ---...

Hey Mogpies! We are back from our little break. Christian took a trip out to some National and State parks and had an amazing time exploring the sites. But it did raise a question during his travels. What is the real history behind the parks? So, we did a little digging and found some rather depressing facts about Americas most beautiful places. They. are filled with segregation and racism that. i...

From the past: Welcome back Mogpies! While experiments were needed to get us where we are today, the things they did during those experiments can be sometimes a little too much.  This week we take a look at three different "experiments" throughout history that when you hear them you would think, "well thats common sense that we should not do that", but they do it anyway.  So si...

Hello Mogpies! Bad science is a topic that we love here on Murder Of Gray and we want to dive into anthropology this week. More specifically cultural anthropology. It is riddled with bias and racism, despite their teachings stating that need to leave their personal bias at home and observe behaviors with an open mind only looking at the surroundings to base their studies on. Now most of the time t...

Hey there Mogpies! This week we are talking energy! Climate change is not going away so many are looking for alternative sources of energy to counteract the effects. Many are seen today from solar panels to wind turbines. But this is just the start. The key is making energy generation a part of our day to day lives.

Hello Mogpies! Many have heard the phrase "walk a mile in my shoes", but we have never been able to truly do this...until now. VR has given us the ability to experience almost first hand certain situations that would have been lost to us in the past.

Hey there Mogpies! In the last couple of years we have really began to see how information can be used as a life saving tool, but also as a dangerous weapon.

But with how connected the entire world is, why are we not...
