| 11/19/23 | ![]() Ep 32 // How to criticize Israel without sounding like a moron (or an anti-semite) | A lot of the conversation around the Israel/Palestine conflict goes off the rails when people start confuse the people for the government or anti-semitism for anti-zionism. So with that in mind, Matt offers some tips to keep in mind if you want to mindfully criticize Israel without coming off as either uninformed or potentially bigoted.Produced by Stereoactive Media | 1h 00m 02s | ||||||
| 10/25/23 | ![]() Ep 31 // The Truth About What Your Jewish Friends May Be Thinking... | Matt's father was an Israeli who grew up in Palestine back before the state of Israel even existed. He was also reluctantly a tank commander in the Israeli army because he had to serve. Now, Matt brings the perspective of his father, along with his own as he tries to explain how many Jewish people may be feeling in the wake of events in Israel and Gaza this month, which have added yet another chapter to the long cycle of violence in which brutality is disproportionately countered with further brutality.Produced by Stereoactive Media | 25m 58s | ||||||
| 10/12/23 | ![]() Ep 30 // U2 at Sphere is the Nightmare Future of Music | Have you ever gone to a rock (or pop) show and wondered why people pull out their phones to record it instead of just experiencing it? Well, now there's a place seemingly built just for those people. U2, once a band that explicitly criticized big commercialized theatrics (admittedly while exploiting big commercialized theatrics), recently played at the latestLas Vegas mecca of opulence. And if you were online as it was happening, you could have easily seen footage from it from many of the people in attendance. So, what does this new way of "elevating" live music mean for the future of music, live shows, and the communal experience?Produced by Stereoactive Media | 24m 59s | ||||||
| 10/5/23 | ![]() Ep 29 // As the saying goes, “a family is a dictatorship ruled over by its sickest member.” | As the saying goes, “a family is a dictatorship ruled over by its sickest member.” Matt describes his first hand experience with this idea by way of his own mother, but also parallels the concept with other organizational structures, from the armed forces to society itself. What lessons can we all learn from the both simple and complicated circumstance of having a loved one that needs special attention.Produced by Stereoactive Media | 15m 02s | ||||||
| 9/8/23 | ![]() Ep 28 // A few of the best paragraphs of the year (so far): successful people, naughty hands, and fake news… | From time to time, Matt shares some of his favorite paragraphs of writing he’s come across. In this episode, he and producer J. McVay discuss a few of those paragraphs and the ideas behind them. Featuring passages from the following:“Vicious Traps” by Morgan Housel (Collab Fund)“Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Great ‘Indiana Jones’ Adventure” by David Marchese (The New York Times Magazine)“How Stewart Made Tucker” by Jon Askonas (The New Atlantis)Produced by Stereoactive Media | 22m 38s | ||||||
| 8/26/23 | ![]() Ep 27 // I see you're taking a Zoom meeting in this coffee shop… | Have you ever been in a coffee shop or other public area when someone gets on a Zoom meeting, plays their music out loud, or does something else that should politely be kept private? Well, Matt has an open letter for all those people about the agreed upon rules of a civil society because it sure seems like a lot of people need a refresher in our after spending so much time away from other people during the pandemic.Produced by Stereoactive Media | 18m 51s | ||||||
| 8/18/23 | ![]() Ep 26 // America's divorce settlement: Who gets what? | From time to time, someone proposes the ingenious idea of a so-called national divorce to finally separate blue and red states that, to some, seem irreconcilable in their differences. Sometimes the proposal comes from someone on the right, sometimes someone on the left – and sometimes it’s someone as completely ignorant as Marjorie Taylor Greene. Well, now it’s Matt’s turn to play out the scenario… So who gets what when the divorce is final? Or is it just too dumb to work, especially if the real divide is between urban and rural neighbors. Produced by Stereoactive Media | 20m 07s | ||||||
| 8/1/23 | ![]() Ep 25 // "THAT did not age well" and the battle between generations... | “Aging well” is an oxymoron and the future will frown upon all of us. Matt explores the friction between generations that occurs when younger people expect elders to be able to keep up with changing expectations about language, behavior, etc, even as many elders are unreasonable in their refusal to even try. A wider willingness to forgive elders who are trying might be helpful, but it would probably also help if elders better recognized their own generational shortcomings as well as the advantages they had that will largely not be passed on.Produced by Stereoactive Media | 21m 55s | ||||||
| 7/21/23 | ![]() Ep 24 // Rubyisms Vol. 3: Infinite Photos, Yoga Wisdom, and Proud Failures | Matt collects aphorisms, mantras, and other brief thoughts that represent lessons he’s learned throughout his life. In this episode, he and producer J. McVay discuss a handful of these so-called “Rubyisms,” the stories behind them, and the deeper truths they’re connected to:We’ll have so many photos of so much nothing and no one will look at them. Meanwhile, your grandparents had a few photos in a shoebox and viewed them hundreds of times.Let your weight be absorbed by the ground. (Lesson from yoga.)An embarrassing success is worse than a proud failure.Produced by Stereoactive Media | 21m 07s | ||||||
| 7/13/23 | ![]() Ep 23 // Rubyisms Vol. 2: Romantic Cynics, Traditions, Beautiful Violence, and Illegal vs. Wrong | Matt collects aphorisms, mantras, and other brief thoughts that represent lessons he’s learned throughout his life. In this episode, he and producer J. McVay discuss a handful of these so-called “Rubyisms,” the stories behind them, and the deeper truths they’re connected to:Cynics are just disappointed romantics.Tradition makes you focus on the wrong things. Want people to remember your wedding? Skip the cake and spend that money on a choreographer for your first dance. No one cares about cake anyway.Make your violence beautiful. Make your violence, beautiful.Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it's wrong. Laws often have an ulterior motive.Produced by Stereoactive Media | 17m 00s | ||||||
| 7/6/23 | ![]() Ep 22 // Rubyisms Vol. 1: Desire, Inertia, Tension, Prayer, and Drugs vs. Medicine | Matt collects aphorisms, mantras, and other brief thoughts that represent lessons he’s learned throughout his life. In this episode, he and producer J. McVay discuss a handful of these so-called “Rubyisms,” the stories behind them, and the deeper truths they’re connected to:When we ran out of needs to fulfill, they started manufacturing desire.Never underestimate the power of inertia.We call our medicine “drugs” and our drugs “medicine.”Tension is a form of prayer.Produced by Stereoactive Media | 20m 59s | ||||||
| 6/29/23 | ![]() Ep 21 // Something's off with how we talk about psychedelics. | On the heels of the recent psychedelics conference in Denver organized by the MAPS organization – the largest such conference ever held – Matt shares how he thinks psychedelics should actually be treated as they gain wider acceptance as a therapeutic treatment. Maybe it doesn't have to be all microdosing, mental health, and big business. Maybe there should also be room for a little bit of “wild.”Produced by Stereoactive Media | 17m 44s | ||||||
| 6/26/23 | ![]() Ep 20 // We don't know how to look: On raw power, the jungle, Iggy Pop, and ancient wisdom | A recent story about how a Colombian girl managed to help keep her younger siblings alive while lost in the jungle for months because of “ancestral knowledge” begs the question of how most American kids – or adults, for that matter – might fare under similar circumstances. Matt ponders the ways in which our increasing isolation from each other, driven by technology that further encloses our personal bubbles, may be closing us off to truths we’d have available to us if we’d only remember how to look.Produced by Stereoactive Media | 17m 48s | ||||||
| 6/15/23 | ![]() Ep 19 // Duh, of course you should separate the art from the artist. | Viva compartmentalization! Matt makes the argument that you can blame the messenger while still enjoying the message. Or in other words, maybe you can watch ‘Annie Hall’ or dance to “Ignition (Remix)” without condoning anything that the people who made them may have done in their personal lives.Produced by Stereoactive Media | 30m 16s | ||||||
| 6/1/23 | ![]() Ep 18 // In the End, They Were All Fredo: 10 Thoughts on 'Succession' | With the series finale of 'Succession' recently aired, Matt is breaking format to share some of thoughts on the show, in conversation with producer J. McVay. Together they review the under-appreciated players of the show, the depiction of the rich and supposedly business-savvy, references to classic cinema, and plenty more.Produced by Stereoactive Media | 36m 12s | ||||||
