S1E14 - Google's Killswitch, Bomb Hysteria, Rectilinear Icebergs, Forced Ideas V Direct Experience

Aaanndd we're back! With so much to do and only so many hours in a day, we took a brief hiatus from recording to allow for some other cool things to take shape, one of those being the forthcoming album from the Gawd MC Mak himself! In this episode we jump straight to the chase and meander from topic to topic as is our specialty. From Google seemingly providing a proof-of-work for their killswitch, bomb scares, Asian dominance of cellphone tech, to Trump and Ye's SNL worthy sitdown and rectilinear Allspark-esque icebergs being uncovered, its a good one.

S1E13 - What Is and How To Make Timeless Music, A Man and His Dog, The SEC G-Checks TESLA

Whats going on yall? Today's installment comes in at roughly an hour and a half, but its surprisingly well segmented! The first portion of the show focuses on the nature of music: how its made, its power to affect us emotionally, and different aspects that contribute to the fabled "timeless classic". Portion two is a tale of a man and his dog as told by Mak, with the final segment dealing with the battle between the Securities Exchange Commision and Elon Musk as well as a splash of censorship commmentary. And as the initiated are well aware, plenty of other poignant points. As always, thanks for listening!

S1E12 - Bill Cosby's Sentence, Refusing The System, An Extended Look At Sociopathy

Well yall, this marks the second livestreamed episode of TBEW as well as what may very well be one of our most focused entries yet! Mak and Sae'Von take quite the plunge into the implications of Bill Cosby's sentencing, why Russel Simmons ran off on the D.A., and even touched upon MLK's fascination with women for hire. There's also an extended look at sociopathy and how all the previous topics relate as well as plenty of other poignant points. As always, thanks for listening!

S1E10 - Elon Smokes A Blunt, A Play-By-Play Of How To Hug, Mac Millers Death, An Analysis Of Prayer

Today's episode is equal parts sour and sweet. Though Mak and Sae'Von kick things off with the usual casual banter that makes way into the first few topics - including Elon Musk's recent blunt blazing interview, voodoo and P Diddy's eccentricities. Toward the back end of the episode though things begin to turn more serious, including Mac Miller's death and discussion over drugs' current place within the culture and even an anaysis of prayer itself. This is now the second episode in a row where drug abuse has taken center stage. We are hopeful this pattern can cease before becoming a trend. Please. Choose Wisely. Oh yea. And hella other poignant points.
