Two Dads Talking

The CIA-Friendly Alternative to LSD

We went mental this week. Have you seen The Matrix? Of course you have. Now imagine we could build something similar and actually download years’ worth of rehabilitative experiences (AKA Prison Time) into a convicted criminal’s mind in minutes. Sound far-fetched? You might be surprised. We took a look at the technology being developed by Cognify right now, as well as the recent successes of Neuralink, and wondered just how badly we will inevitably abuse these amazing technological leaps. Get your mind blown this week on the newest episode of the Two Dads Talking Podcast.

The (Olympic) Tour de France of Podcast Episodes

Welp, we went straight from Hawk Tuah to a Turkish Sharpshooter. We're talking Olympics tonight, and more specifically, Tom is quizzing Doug to see if he knows...well, anything. You name it, we got it: from the opening ceremony to the Turkish John Wick, to awkward sports commentators, boxing controversies and disqualifying weenies. After you're done here, go watch yourself some Kayak Cross (you're welcome).

Legacy

What do you want your Legacy to be? No, not the Subaru, though it's a pretty sweet ride. Anyway, after we talk about silly things like how you want others to remember you, we get into the good stuff: SUPERPOWERS. Not just which ones are the best, but which ones actually count (Domino, looking at you).

What the Trump Happened in Pennsylvania?

A major political candidate and former President was nearly picked off...that's kind of a big deal. We dive right into everything we know (and don't) from the outset, and hopefully can leave you with a slightly different holistic view you won't get anywhere else. The one thing you absolutely must remember? A father made the ultimate sacrifice to protect his family - RIP Corey Comperatore.

A Blaise of Glory, with Robin Hood and Ninja Turtles!

Hello all you lovely Father Figures! Tonight we plan on going down in a Blaise of Glory - Blaise Pascal and Pascal's Wager, that is. Tonight you will learn how to analogize poker odds with religious beliefs, Robin Hood can tell you exactly how you view reality, and that atheism is so confusing to Doug. Also, please let us know who your favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle is because we are totally not petty and not keeping score behind the scenes. Hope to see you all at the Next Up Music Festival, in Westerly, RI the weekend of September 14th!

Terrence Howard Ma(e)th

Terrence Howard is an incredible actor, and I think we can all agree he would've been a good War Machine if they could have worked out that contract.
But did you know he remembers being six months old (in the womb) and recalls inner dialog from before he was born?
Did you know he solved a mystery by age six that Leonardo DaVinci allegedly spent his entire life trying to understand?
Did you know he uncovered a flaw in our current mathematics system, holds hundreds of patents on revolutionary technology, and disproved / reinvented gravity?
Well, neither did we. Take a trip down the Terrence Howard rabbit hole with us! This is the audio of our (first) unedited reaction video to his viral presentation on why he's smarter than everyone else in the history of the Earth.
If you want the full livestream experience, you can find the link here or below to it on our 2DT YouTube page. But don't worry, you can also play along with just the audio here and still get all the (confusing) fun!

Human Ravioli?

By law, a taco is now a sandwich...at least in Allen County, Indiana. More importantly, it sounds like the judge does not honor the Cube Rule. Join us for a raucous episode of sandwich fighting, music videos, Lurking 101, and the return of The Big Game. We also find time at the end to go through all the great movies Doug has NOT seen.

Man vs Bear: A Grizzly Question

Is this a great philosophical question critiquing the dangers of the world posed to women by men, or is it just a slap in the face for 50% of the world? Spoiler: we thought it was a bit of both. 
What the better question would be, the problem with Christopher Robbin, and a Dad who punched his daughter's 13YO boyfriend. Also, meet the most terrifying bird in the world (thanks Doug).

The Problem with Sleepovers

Bet you never thought kids' sleepovers could be explained using poker. Anyway, that's not even the interesting part of this episode. More interesting is hate mail from another episode, Edgar Allan Poe maybe falling victim to poll hustling, Michael Jordan schooling rookies, and our nostalgia over lost experiences. Don't ask what is in our trunks.
