ep. 218 - Texas Vs. Florida: Where Is the Center of America? feat. Jake Rhodes of Pendejo Time

Sometimes I feel like I am at the center of the world. I’m not talking about that main character energy nonsense. I mean that living in Florida makes me feel l like I am close to beating heart of the evil empire. Our nefarious overlords practice on Florida first: Data centers, detention centers, etc. Sometimes it feels like Florida is the most American state in the country.  But maybe I’m biased.  There is one other state that rivals Florida’s centrality: Texas. So to find out which state is the center of the US empire, I am joined by Jake Rhodes [https://x.com/jakebrodes] of Pendejo Time [https://linktr.ee/pendejotime]. And as always, if you enjoy the show, show your love however you can. Subscribe, follow, share etc etc etc. Enjoy.

ep. 217 - Why I Love Che Guevara And So Should You

There aren’t many true believers left in the world today. Lots of people well perform their supposed principles. They will tell you they are good Christians or Communists or whatever, but a very quick glance will tell you it’s all just words. So on the eve of what appears to be an American military incursion on the tiny island nation of Cuba, I feel compelled to express my love for Ernesto Che Guevara.  I know that his image has been tainted over the years by hipster merchandise, but don’t let that diminish you appreciation for a recent historical figure who was a principled, true believer. And definitely don't buy a word of those Cuban American gusanos who try to equate him to Hitler. Che was good. On today's episode, I am joined by Ben and Jordano of Remember Shuffle [https://www.patreon.com/c/RememberShuffle/posts] to remind you just how incredible and inspire Che Guevara is and how to explain the prevalence of his image in the 2000s.

ep. 216 - Good Riddance to Stephen Colbert

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is no more and Brother Isaac says not a moment too soon. Stephen Colbert is a husk of his former self. He once parodied bloviating conservative media pundits with deadpan perfection. Then, during the Obama and Trump years, he became a parody of the vacant liberal dem. One was funny, the other was not.  People are blaming Trump for his cancellation, and maybe that's true, but its unfortunate because he should have been booted by his own lack of comedic merit. Now, he gets to be a liberal martyr in the fight against the bad orange man. He should be so grateful.  To discuss the rise and precipitous fall of Stephen Colbert, Brother Isaac is joined by Brothers Ben and Jordano of Remember Shuffle [https://linktr.ee/remembershuffle]. Be sure to follow them if you aren't already.

ep. 215 - How to Live Well While Living In Hell

Do you feel good? You know you can always feel better? Are you optimizing? Are you eating the right things? Are you listening to the right music? Give me your metrics. Give me your metrics. Give me your metrics.  You did not sleep enough. You slept too much. You could feel better than you feel right now.  Summer Emerald (@salesforcechild [https://www.instagram.com/salesforcechild/]) joins Brother Isaac to teach you how to live well while living in hell.  Be sure to check out Summer's exhibition, 5000 More Years and the Masur Museum of Art in Monroe, Louisiana. If you want to feel just right you must go and see it.

They Want You to Want to Believe: The Truth is Out There, Far Away and Never to Be Found (Part 2)

Brother Isaac gets his mind blown by Laura (freudwasframed [http://www.instagram.com/freudwasframed/]) again and again and again.  The X-Files intro ends with "THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE." That means the truth is not here. The pursuit of UFO believers will have resolution. They're not unlike those Christian Millenarians waiting for the rapture. But what are the stakes of believing in aliens? What moral life choices does believing provide? Or is UFO belief symptomatic a society devoid of authority, community and ritual?
