  • 69. What if Life Has No Meaning? What if That’s the Best Part?
    Nov 4 2024

    In this episode, I sit down with Joe C., a chemistry teacher by day and existentialism junkie by night, to dive deep into the mind-bending world of Sartre, Kierkegaard, and what it really means to live with freedom and anxiety hanging over our heads. We break down the whole existential package—freedom, choice, and that constant, nagging search for meaning—especially in a world that feels more chaotic with every passing day.

    But it’s not just all highbrow philosophy. We get personal, swapping stories about fatherhood, teaching, and how those big, abstract ideas show up in the most real parts of life. We explore how being a parent shapes your perspective on freedom, and how navigating the chaos of the classroom often feels like a mini-existential crisis in itself.

    Whether you’ve gone down the existential rabbit hole before or you’re just curious about what it all means, this episode will hit home. It’s about finding clarity in the mess of everyday life, and rethinking what it really means to live on your own terms.

  • 68. Presidential Power and Myths: Cypher, The Cynical Historian's Take on America's Biggest Misconceptions
    Oct 29 2024

    In this episode, Jay is joined by Cypher, the creator of The Cynical Historian YouTube channel, to debunk some of the biggest myths surrounding U.S. presidents. From George Washington to Abraham Lincoln, Cypher unpacks the truth behind legendary misconceptions that have shaped the American view of the presidency.

    They explore myths like Washington’s supposed uncontroversial presidency, Lincoln’s role as the “Great Emancipator,” and the common belief that debates like the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon face-off changed election outcomes. Cypher also sheds light on how myths about presidential power, control over the economy, and war decisions have been misunderstood over time.

    Tune in for a candid, eye-opening discussion about history’s messy truths and the stories we tell about those who’ve held the highest office in the land
