Ignorant and Uninformed

Reality TV. Rascals. Happy pills. Newspeak. Our Hunger Games foreign policy. Withholding health care from the poor. How do we choose? THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE CAUTIONARY TAILS, NOT GUIDE BOOKS!!! This historical moment when fiction flipped from utopian to dystopian. *** Topic - Which creative dystopia came the closest to getting it right? From [...]

Thank God there’s some Star Wars to talk about. We’ve copied the Sith model of pyramid schemes down to the slaughter of Younglings. Geoff doesn’t like mouthy kids. Ben loves it all. Max, the pair of slippers he is, manages to tie it all together at the end. ps - Nepocide is the conscious willingness [...]

Your “Newsfeed,” contrary to popular belief and the implications of its name, is not the place to get your news. While we are it - what does “news” even mean?  Celebrity opinions as gospel truth, the way our primate brains prime us for this, and the social meteor that killed the dinosaurs.  We’re gonna step [...]

Tastes, times, and mediums change a lot in 30 years. The death of the old (appointment viewing and attention span). The rise of the new (streaming services and mediums).

The smaller the job, the more specialized the tool…typically.   *** Topic - Using a cordless drill as a hammer? How important is it to have the right [...]

Every few months a topic comes along that have Geoff and Max really, really, really glad that Ben is a part of this show.  A medium in the 1950s isn’t the same as a medium today.  And all Geoff wanted was to avoid talking politics… Gerunds make the best topics.  *** Topic - A size [...]

If you could see any performance in history - which would you choose? Are you like Ben, and into history? Do you vibe with Geoff, and want to see your favorite band in a packed club with a couple hundred people right before they blew up? Or would you rather feel the energy in the [...]

St. Jaysopher has us talking about our animal roots. Ben’s got a theory on nearsightedness and a fantastic story. Geoff points to tribalism. Max gets limbic. It’s hollow-boned dinosaurs, the evolution of science, and the reason we hate trees.  *** Topic - How do you express your primate heritage? From - St. Jaysopher of Madison [...]

Do whales have nipples?  They make milk, and supposedly it’s 75% fat (according to some dubious sources...) A sports break + some trashy social media. Shout out - @Iowadairyfarmer on TikTok. The 6th utter is for midnight snacks. ps - after the episode Geoff did some investigating and it turns out whales have slits.  Additionally [...]

St. Zook wants to know what she can do to get out of her sainthood. We want to know what we did wrong.  Max gets personal. Ben gets vulnerable. Geoff draws that line at being a Fox News pundit. Ignorant and Uninformed - on the bottom of our own pyramid scheme since 2012.  *** Topics [...]

“Not to be _______,” definitely means you’re about to hear something ________.  After the epidose, Max looked things up… - Green, white, and black pepper all come from the same plant. White is ripe, black is unripe, green is unripe and frozen or treated. - Pink pepper is a different plant from the cashew family. [...]

St. Coats wants to know if they’re here to stay. We want to know if we’ve ever known anything different.  The questions you ask dictates the answers you get.  Popular elections mean popular candidates. “That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of the lessons that history [...]

Ben the bounty hunter. Geoff wants to own a Star Destroyer dealership Max wants to join a cult and use his laser swords to roast coffee. Did Anakin kill all the janitors at the Jedi temple too? And remember kids - never turn your McGuffin into a character. *** Topic - What job from the [...]

It’s a holy week! We’re blessed by St. Zooks, MD’s presence.  She points to the courts (and shoots down Max’s) Ben eyes elections It’s the new politician archetype for Geoff. Like a rocket ship on a string, you can’t unclog a toilet by pooping in it.    *** Topic - What's the worst thing Trump [...]

This week we shamelessly judge the hell out people. Welcome to the Douche Scale! It’s one of those S-F scales (which none of us actually understand but seems popular!) Is being the type of person you want to punch after meeting worse than knowingly profiting on the destruction of millions of lives? What about eroding [...]
