In this episode's off-topic section, Troll Knife talks about flying Tiny Whoop FPV drones. They are tiny and they are awesome. Flip Sw1tch then squeezes into some leather pants and gets deep into simulation theory and artificial intelligence. He's not usually qualified to talk about any of those topics but he took his nootropics, shocked his brain with tDCS and he LOVES The Matrix.

In this episode's off-topic section, Brett talks about being back in the Airstream Travel Trailer that his been his full-time home for several years. Josh then dons his virtual reality gear and floats away in the video game Lone Echo. As an avid skydiver, wind tunnel flyer, FPV drone pilot and video game player, no one is more qualified to talk about a zero-gravity adventure game. Except maybe an astronaut.

In this episode's off-topic section, Josh talks about that time a skydiving airplane had a catastrophic engine failure and earned the nickname “Delta Tango.” Brett then goes on and on about Dr. Laurie Santos and her curly hair, extolling the virtues of her podcast The Happiness Lab, a podcast that not only dispels common myths about finding happiness but can help you find the way to CONTENTment. (See what I did there?)

In this episode's off-topic section, Brett talks about several of his new quarantine activities including putting together jigsaw puzzles! (Puzzling in general isn’t new to Brett but more puzzles are happening in quarantine.) Josh then discusses the gripping tale featuring two “dirtbag” climbers whose competitive pursuits in Yosemite National Park and differing philosophies pushed the sport of climbing. Valley Uprising is definitely some quality content for those curious about these awe-inspiring adventure athletes. Be sure to subscribe if you love content!

In this episode's off-topic section, Josh shares his experience of getting tested for COVID-19. We are fortunate to live near communities where testing is available; we realize not everyone is able to get tested quickly and easily. We then explore the beloved comic strip Calvin and Hobbes and the maybe-kind-of-an-asshole-but-also-a-legendary-genius who created it Bill Watterson. Be sure to subscribe if you love content!

In this episode's off-topic section, we discuss the infamous Nimitz UFO incident. The Department of Defense officially released and verified footage of multiple instances of “unidentified aerial phenomena.” It is truly the most significant story no one is talking about. We then discuss the South Korean action horror film and zombie masterpiece Train to Busan. This is one episode you don’t want to miss!

In this episode's off-topic section, we discuss wearing masks (and the CDC’s apparent decision to mislead the public to prevent hoarding) and the music that carries us through tough times (we love you Tay Tay). We then discuss mentalist and magician Derren Brown’s Netflix special and the question it's designed to answer: can social pressure influence the average person enough to make them commit… murder?

In this episode's off-topic section, we discuss tDCS aka Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation aka "9-volt nirvana” and how it relates to flow states before Josh dives into his favorite Metroidvania game Hollow Knight from Team Cherry. Once again, we are not neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists, brain researchers or experts on anything really (except Contentology, the self-conjured "study" of content) but we do advocate the responsible self-experimentation of applying electrical currents to your head.

In this episode's off-topic section we discuss the amazing and dangerous sport of wingsuit BASE jumping. Warning: this off-top contains heavy subject matter; wingsuit BASE jumping and proximity flying are dangerous activities that sometimes result in death. This discussion could trigger some. We then briefly cover our current content consumption on the content circuit before diving into a book where science meets storytelling: Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. Gladwell isn’t just an amazing author, he also has great hair.

In this episode's off-topic section we discuss some of the most challenging jobs we’ve had like teaching kids how to ski/snowboard and that time Josh was a jerk and quit his job at the gas station before he started. Afterwards, we travel to the moon Pandora for a deep dive into the movie Avatar. It’s a world so beautiful and idyllic, it caused “Post Avatar Depression” because alas, it exists only on screen. Spool up your avatars listeners!
