Episode 344: Get Outta Here With That - Live in Lisbon!
Bryan and Ogun coming to you from a pub in Lisbon, Portugal! We discuss whether vegetarianism is biblical, which writers of the Bible were depressed, whether people should be able to live in whatever country they want to, and whether aliens are real. We were together for an episode for the first time in seven years, and had a blast trying some local craft beers. Stay tuned for the bonus music clip of local Fado music recorded on our way home from the bar.

Episode 343: Pressing Buttons
This week we explore a thought experiment in which everyone in the world has to press a red or blue button. If more than 50% choose blue, everyone survives. If less than 50% choose blue, only those who pressed red survive. What button do you press and why? Bryan and Ogun discuss this, plus long weekends, meeting Jesus, and a church drug scam. What button would you press? Tune in to hear our take!

Episode 336: Tap that Peace
On our St. Patrick's Day episode, we discuss analogies for the Trinity while Bryan attempts to pour himself a Black and Tan. Is the 3-leaf clover, which St. Patrick used to teach the Trinity, a good example? What are better analogies? We also discuss whether peace can happen through strength, or if there are other paths to peace aside from violence. We also discuss what it looks like to develop a consciousness of contentment.
