Mostly Rational

Oh, heeeyyy there, hehe. To all those who submitted their Star Wars questions in 2023, fear not! We are answering them now! In...2024. Better late than never???

To quote this episode, "Cartoons are because they good!" Join us in this cartoon-themed episode as we answer your questions about all things animated! One thing we determined in this episode is that we would NOT like to live in the One Punch Man universe. Let us know if you have a cartoon universe you think is worse! Submit questions to mostlyrationalpod@gmail.com or via our website! Support us on Patreon!  

Welcome to our 5th annual Star Wars Day episode of Mostly Rational! Today, we have special guest, Shayan Diamond, on to help us answer the MYRIAD Star Wars questions our listeners sent in this year. We also have a very knowledgeable--yet silent--peanut gallery helping us out along the way. Please enjoy, and May the Fourth Be With You! P.S. This was a really tricky episode to edit, so there are a few sound issues. I tried, Aston! I tried! And don't you quote Yoda at me!! P.P.S. To say it's been a rough week or so for my family would be...an understatement. So please just appreciate that it's going up on the correct day (instead of in July like last year)! 

Hello! In this episode, we answer several non-question questions such as:  "Can't pick a hobby, wanna do everything. Don't have time to do everything" and "I have high hopes for my morning routine but sleep in every time." as well as actual question questions, such as: "How on earth do you improve your handwriting?" and  "I can't draw at all, and don't know where to start. What tips/tricks/tools do I need?" Thanks for listening in, and feel free to send all you questions (and statements) to mostlrationalpod@gmail.com. Support us on Patreon for perks, including blooper reels! P.S. Tune in again on May the 4th for our annual Star Wars Day episode!  

We're back (again) with a potpourri of problems to solve! In this episode, we explore issues with being a magnet for codependent friendships, feeling like everything we do to help is wrong, and fearing rejection. You know, light-hearted comedy fare! So, join us as we explore these issues (and make fun of each other for failing to not sound corny), and send in your own queries to mostlyrationalpod@gmail.com, or by visiting http://mostlyrationalpodcast.com   Support us on Patreon at http://Patreon.com/mostlyrational 

Ah, yes, our ever-timely, annual Star Wars episode, just in time for that most hallowed of Star Wars days, Jedi Knighteenth, which is definitely a real Star Wars holiday and not just something I made up because I'm uploading the episode 2-and-a-half months late. *Jedi hand wave*   In this episode, we discuss which Star Wars planet makes for the best vacation spot, which of us shall win the hand of the Galaxy's Most Eligible Bachelor, actual questions about Star Wars lore (snooze), and a few non-Star Wars questions, such as: "Who would win? Like a gazillion lions, or all the pokemon?" and "When will Asia return Tani's bears?" (spoiler: never), and "What would have happened if Hank Green bought Yahoo Answers?"   As always, support us on Patreon at patreon.com/mostlyrational, and send your questions to mostlyrationalpod@gmail.com.    Jedi Knighteenth be with you.

On the "Rode" again! (Not a sponsor) (Yet.) Ok, 2020 is over, so...let's try this again! Thanks to everyone who sent in questions so very long ago. Please don't stop! We finally have nice mics! We can DO this!! Listen to hear many (skippable) spoilers, thoughts on sneezing, songs that are like poetry, and poems that are even more so. Plus other stuff I forgot already! I'm sure it's great! Ok, bye, gotta get to work on the next episode before I forget we have a podcast again! --Asia

We're back, this time to answer some of your questions about dreaming. Dreaming is...really weird, right? In this episode, we attempt to answer questions such as: Can deaf people hear sounds in their dreams? What is it like to have a lucid dream? Do Tani and Asia possibly have sleep disorders??? (No, seriously, opinions welcome on this one) So follow us on down this rabbit hole, and remember to send your questions to mostlyrationalpod@gmail.com, or through http://mostlyrationalpodcast.com! 

A couple days ago, in this exact galaxy, we made another special Star Wars Day episode for some reason. Join us, along with special guest Brandon McKinney, as we answer questions such as:  - What is the name of Yoda's race? - Should Ray count as a Skywalker? - Why ya hidin' baby Yoda? And several others! Yay

Sorry, I fell asleep for a couple months. Did I miss anything?? Oh. Oh wow. Ok, yeah, so people had questions about coronavirus, and we did our best to answer them! Listen to find out the answers to questions such as: Is it airborne? How are people coping? What about the economic impact? Can I get discounts on Corona now? And more!

A thousand apologies, dear listeners. It has been hundreds of years since our last update. This episode was, in fact recorded many moons ago, but I, Asia, am an...how do you say...anxiety-ridden procrastinator. My thousand and first apology is in regards to the sound quality of this episode. It seems to get better in the second half, but I don't know what to do about the first half. I'm not a soundologist, ok?! Maybe someday we will be rich and able to afford a soundgineer, but today is not that day!  In this episode:  -what's the creepiest thing you ever done or had done to you? - who would you date from the star wars universe? - do we unintentionally speak in time signatures? - how tall is that lumberjack? -if you could bring one person and one tool to a desert island, who and what would you bring? Also: email hackers toe compliments california hellscape prank calls asia explains what math is We hope you chuckle once or twice and bear with us while we get our act together!

Hi! We're back, and we're makin' some changes 'round these here parts! A note about this episode: There were some audio issues on Tani's end that made it prohibitively difficult to splice our audio together, so what you're hearing is Tani's recording of my Asia's coming through her Tani's. It's not THAT bad, but you will hear Asia occasionally glitch out like some kind of Glados-Vanellope hybrid. And don't forget to send in your questions, creations, and opinions on our proposed changes!!

EPISODE XV Can it really have already been a year since our last Star Wars episode? Wow! Okay! Wow! Thank you to everyone who sent in questions for this very last minute episode. We literally recorded yesterday and are publishing today! I think this is some kind of record (for us, at least!) Join us in this episode to hear our bad opinions about Star Trek Wars! Find out our favorite ships (and I mean ships both in the sense of romance AND vessels)! We also get to hear opinions from people waaay more knowledgeable about Star Wars than us. Plus...Adventure Time? MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!

Um...hi. I have sooo many things for which to apologize, so let me make a list. I am sorry for:  1) How long it has been! Ugh! Life! I am taking measures to ensure this does not happen again. 2) The sound quality. We discuss this in the episode. While you should be able to hear us just fine, there is quite a bit of shuffling, especially in the beginning. Again, measures are being taken. 3) Actually, I guess those are the two main things. I guess I'm sorry for the times I sing in this episode.  Thank you for listening anyway, and send in questions ASAP so we can get this show back on the road! Love, Asia
