Ep. 17: Is the Universe Just a Giant Board Game?

DISCLAIMER: While the creators of this podcast do not endorse Christianity, they will admit that this episode gets kind-of heretical. IF you believe in a Judeo-Christian Hell, listening to this episode may send you there. To everyone else, welcome! This episode is mostly about how the universe is really just a big ol' game, like agar.io, or chess.

This week's episode includes discussions on the inefficiency of crystals and how to improve their effects using material science and gastronomy. Just make candy crystals and eat them! DO NOT actually eat crystals, rock candy is fine though.

Ep 10: Time Travel Interview

Double trouble! This podcast is 1 in 6 trillion. What does that mean? Just listen, I don't want to ruin the fun. But it involves time travel. And Fidget. And Fidget. Also, if you haven't yet, follow the podcast on twitter: @newcrazepod

Ep. 9: Mongooses feat. ELLIOTFOX

ELLIOTFOX calls in; Fidget follows through and elucidates the fascinating history between mongooses and Time. There's something about ancient Egypt in there, too. It's philosophy as you have never heard it before. Follow the show on twitter: @newcrazepod

Ep. 8: Recursive Death Theory: We Will Never Die! feat. ELLIOTFOX

Ep. 8: Recursive Death Theory: We Will Never Die! feat. ELLIOTFOX

This week, ELLIOTFOX and I explore the not-so radical theory that our lives will one-day flash before our eyes, and then continue to do so forever. Confused? Good. We also talk about VR or something, we kinda lost the plot a little. Also, follow the podcast for links to Fox's stuff and whatnot: @newcrazepod

Episode 7: Sea Dwelling Spiritual Guides feat. Josie H.

Episode 7: Sea Dwelling Spiritual Guides feat. Josie H.

Josie is back for (her words, not mine) her redemption arc. Not that she needed any redeeming in our eyes- or ears, rather- but she did certainly come through this week by bringing forward an absolutely THOUGHT-PROVOKING discussion on the spirituality of fish and why we ought to trust them as our own spiritual guides.

Ep. 6: The Inevitable Westworld Episode feat. Gwen A.

Well, we had to talk about Westworld at some point; might as well get it out of the way early. In this one my roommate Gwen offers some genuine insight into the role that identity plays in film while I do the same bullsh*t I always do. Follow the podcast on twitter at @newcrazepod!

Ep. 5: The Multiple Donuts Theory of Time and Space feat. John P.

Ep. 5: The Multiple Donuts Theory of Time and Space feat. John P.

Did you ever hear that the universe is expanding outward? Well, that's wrong. In this week's episode, my friend John and I explore the idea of time and space existing as a series of ever-expanding donuts. This one gets wild. And hey, if you haven't followed the show on twitter yet, you can do so at @newcrazepod, and you can find me at @flannyjets.

My friend and fellow twitch streamer Michael joins me this week for a discussion about the spirituality of video-gaming, and how we manifest ourselves in the games we play.

Ep. 3: Oops, no Jokes! feat. Josie H.

Ep. 3: Oops, no Jokes! feat. Josie H.

I'm gonna be honest, at like 10 minutes in, my friend Josie got me talking about what I seriously think and by the time I realized that we already had 30 minutes of audio and I didn't want to cut any of it. So, this one isn't very funny, but I hope you have fun with it regardless.

Ep. 2: Lift a Can of Beer With Your Mind feat. Mikayla H.

Suppose you could meditate well enough that your mind could exert some sort of "force" on the world around you? This week, my friend Mikayla and I explore this and other ways of this previously unexplored force.
