Thinkery

Who has time to write out show notes? Not this guy. It was a good conversation about things, so listen to it. Right now!  Probably we talked about Donald Trump, and some other things that seemed incredibly important at the time.

Everything is making Paul angry today! So we talk about it, because THAT'S WHAT WE DO!Keith Peterson was looking for a 1-bedroom apartment somewhere, and Paul does not approve.If 9 in 10 Native Americans aren't offended by the Redskins name, does that make it not offensive?We spend a surprising amount of time looking for slurs for Canadians.Do pot farmers have helicopters and machine guns?

This week, Paul and Brian talk a bunch about the US election cycle,  because of course we do, because it's a big damn horror show that will never, ever end. But listen to find out how much Canada cares about the election, how much they know about the American system, and how much Americans know about the Canadian system!Spoiler: Not much.Paul and Brian poke fun at Carly Fiorina because it's fun, drawing a connection between Giphy (an animated GIF startups) and an attack ad with demonic sheep.This is the attack ad! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKWlOxhSIKkIn addition, the static duo spend a bunch of time talking about the loss of pets and family, and the things that tear at our hearts. As always, we're on Twitter at @dotboom, @paulfidalgo, and @thinkerypodcast.

We’re back, and we’re covering up for our gap in putting out episodes by saying we’re onto season 2!What do we talk about in the very first episode of the very second season? There’s a lot of political talk, but also we talk about Brian’s efforts with Gastrobug, and Brian makes increasing attempts to freak Paul out by showing him links.  Links like these!:http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2016/03/23/3762699/paul-ryan-trump-2016/ (Okay, this one was from our political discussion, but Paul Ryan still freaks Paul out!)http://www.gastrobug.com/trilobite-beetles/ - Trilobite Beetleshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ7b4spjXhw - Surinam Toadhttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2f/Roachies.JPG - Cockroaches!If you like the show, you should tell people about it, or review it on iTunes.

First is the political talk and the concern for Paul and his family freezing to death, then talk about podcast networking events/conferences, and THEN we go all rapid-fire on a bunch of topics, such as:Is Jesus a Rape Baby?Is a cancer cure being suppressed?Should people live in geographically unstable areas?"Happy Holidays" is just passive-aggressive nonsense.The impulse to avoid death is the best evidence against the existence of God.Would people be religious if they didn't believe in an afterlife?Can God change his mind about The Second Coming?Possibly there were other things after the rapid-fire discussion, WHO KNOWSTwitter: @paulfidalgo, @dotboom, @thinkerypodcastEmail: thinkerypodcast@gmail.comTell your friends about us: PLEASE  

In this heretical episode of Thinkery, we talk about:Those kooky little nuts in Oregon, with their delusions about not being criminals!Paul hired a Feng Shui expert, for some reason! (Possibly he's got too much money)And we spend a bunch of time talking about autism. Should it be cured? Should it be celebrated? All sorts of other things?OTHER THINGS!We're still on Twitter!

This week's episode is out late because Paul burned his hand while editing*, then Brian burned his his hand out of solidarity. We are Spartacus! What is this tardy episode about? Well, in a flagrant breach of the format of these incredibly well researched show notes, I'll lay it out in a rambly-ass paragraph: Brian's underemployed and fretting about money, and then we spend some time talking about whether coddling our kids sets them up to actually feel more pain as they age, which dovetails into a whole therapy session for Paul. I'm pretty sure we fixed him in this episode, so YAY FREE THERAPY!Follow us on Twitter at @dotboom, @paulfidalgo, and @thinkerypodcast. Send us any feedback there, or to our obviously amazingly busy email address thinkerypodcast@gmail.com.*Paul didn't burn his hand while actively editing; he burned it at some point after starting editing this episode, and before he finished. I mean, Macs get pretty hot, but not that hot.

Stuff like:Brian's book Trumped Up is done and up for sale (at trumpedupbook.com)!#WheresRey?The ad campaign for The Force Awakens was a massively thorough sleight of hand!JJ Abrams' singular innovation!Toys for girls are lame, and that's lame.Multiculturalism, amiright?More?If you like the show, please help us out by posting a review on iTunes, or share with your friends.
