The answer: TRADITION!

How do we celebrate Easter in our personal lives? What is Easter really all about? Was there really three days between Jesus' death and resurrection? In this episode we talk about Easter, but not nearly enough about bunnies who lay chocolate eggs!
What can we really know about what we know? When is it philosophy and not science or religion? What the hell is epistemology anyway?!? In this episode we talk about philosophy, aka dead men who had great beards.
What are those strange lights in the sky? What can we know about UFOs? How do we determine whether a sighting really is of little green men from far away places? In this episode we talk about UFO sightings and events such as Roswell, Rendlesham Forrest, and that dude from Fire in the Sky.
Are vaccines helpful or harmful? Just a casual conversation on our thoughts about vaccines, whether one should get vaccinated, and even a bit on those pesky microchips in the COVID vaccine.
Do ghosts really exist? Just a casual conversation on our thoughts about ghosts, our experiences with the paranormal, and plenty on ghost hunting!
Who is God? What do we think about the guy? Just a casual conversation on our thoughts about, knowledge of, and relationship with the G-man.
