  • The Medicinal Properties of Batman and Other Heroes ft. Shawn (@knightbatman)
    Nov 4 2024

    For countless fans, the “superhero” is not just a form of entertainment, but a shining example of how to live up to one’s full potential and this episode’s guest is a firm testimony to that fact. Shawn is a lifelong Batman devotee, an accolade that can be plainly seen by his extensive collection of Caped Crusader merchandise (as well as the many other properties he purveys). But the influence that Bruce Wayne has had on this super fan extends beyond what he chooses to buy and has ultimately shaped how he chooses to live his life, dedicating his time and efforts towards discipline, improvement and excellence. Join the conversation as we discuss how to be a good gift giver, acceptable trades for quality protein, the travesty that is Toy Story 4 and more!

Watch and listen as they discuss topics from a to z, and ultimately try and figure out whatever the hell “this” is.
