The Banana Bread and Circus Republic Podcast

In this episode, we interviewed ChrisP's mom, Kumari Patricia about her work and practice. Nothing weird. Just a good old-fashioned conversation with an elder who knows some shit. Kumari Patricia is a painter, and the author of Manifestation of Self Within Place: A Love Story in Pictures. You can follow her on Instagram @kumaripatricia_coaching. And you can sign up for her free eBook at kumaripatr...

We would like to thank Benjamin Hoff for his brilliant book, The Tao of Pooh, which we took the liberty of sharing a sec...

This episode was recorded in mid-August of 2023. We talked about the different forms of electricity and its circulatory delivery system and scale...during a thunderstorm, no less. Being surrounded by a storm, we appreciated just how powerful this realm is, and how it can come down at any time. This is humbling to know, and humiliating to think we are somehow in charge. And that's what friends are...

This episode was recorded in early August of 2023 when we were still working out the audio kinks for quality sound. (Apologies for the poor sound quality.) Please enjoy this conversation about the extremism of the anti-racism movement and the virtue-signalist mentality that comes with it, our lack of true meritocracy, and how this consumes society. This episode also touches on some ideas from Chri...

In this episode, we started by paying tribute to the great Chris Farley, one of our favorite comedic actors of our generation. We miss you, Farley! R.I.P.... We discussed ways to maintain equilibrium and how important it is to acknowledge the monsters that live inside us, how to tame them, and take responsibility for neglecting to do so. "Fuck around and find out" is a phrase that comes up often i...

In this episode, we started the year off in a relatively heavy manner, topically speaking. We discussed strange magnetic phenomena on opposing southern and northern hemispheres and somehow ended up talking about how the field we are part of is listening to what we have to say. Sometimes it pays to listen to how those reverberations come back around. Avoid fundamentalistic dogma and extremism and k...

In this episode, we reflected on some takeaways from the last year of nonsense, including our questionable agricultural practices in the United States, our inability to self-reflect on our mistakes, and our egregious obsessions with war that have accumulated from years past. We went down the fungal rabbit hole, talking about how magical the mycelial world is and how fortunate we are to be here in...

This episode was recorded in early July 2023, which is when we reflected on some recent adversity that ChrisP experienced with a black bear. Nature can be brutal, and we should all remember not to hang our hat on any artificial plans we may have - cause unfortunately Nature doesn't care about our silly plans. Rather than being a hubris prick, too clever for our own good, and consumed with frustrat...

This episode was recorded on July 9th, 2023 when we sat down with our good friend, Tom to discuss some topics related to food systems, hunting, and self-reliance. Some of the big takeaways from this episode revolved around how good art, in whatever medium, is the remedy to get back in touch with the biological world we are entangled with. And stand against the corporate monster dedicated to disenf...

This episode was recorded in late June of 2023, and we talked about some of the parallel dynamics of economic forces and energetic ecosystems. Where equilibrium is sought across environments and kingdoms of life. Within this intersection of ideas, we speculate on how this applies to our true potential to confront our tendency to conform and learn how to navigate the path to success and personal fu...

This episode was recorded in mid-June of 2023. Benji joined us for another opportunity to reflect on practical skill-building, the economy of bartering, and what we can do for ourselves during our time of extremes - from a world-based monetary system to weather manipulation and climate change. Now is the time to join hands and work together to reclaim our freedoms and our sense of self-sovereignty...

In this episode, we chillaxed on the front porch enjoying an array of goodies, including pigs in a blanket with that dank 78 Spicy Ketchup, and Humbiont Mead of course. We touched on some cool topics, from our hidden histories to the ethical qualities of accounting and business, and met some friendly neighbors and their lovely pooches along the way. With cigars, and advice on how to properly smoke...

In this episode, Benji joined us to discuss life growing up, skill building, the downward trends that we're facing through certain technological challenges, or the possibility that this all might be a simulation...And how we don't need to eat bugs if we don't want to...(pardon the intermittent buzzy background noise).

In this episode, we cover a lot of ground on digital forces such as Hashraph, digital currency, the DLT, and other artificial intelligence prospects.
