How to Avoid Quantum Tunneling: Part 2

The Brothers interview their physicist friend, Dr. Tom Kelley, and take some calls from some of our listeners. 

How to Avoid Quantum Tunneling: Part 1

Two months have passed after our first COVID-19 episode. Did the world turn into the apocalypse we were predicting? Find out as the Brothers chat via Zoom. 

Dispatches from the Field: COVID-19 Update

Prepare for love. Prepare for fear. Prepare for off-color God-related swearing.  This is the God Episode. 

The God Episode

A between-seasons mini-episode on the current existential crises known as Covid-19. 

Dispatches from the Field: Covid-19

Did you see that quirky 2004 movie I Heart Huckabees? You didn’t? Well, Ian saw it 12 times, so now you’re going to hear about it.

How am I not myself?

Otto’s convinced we are computer programs like the Sims. Ian’s not so sure. Hilarity ensues. If you listen close, you can hear the pixels of the universe.

Are we a simulation?

On the anniversary of our father-in-law’s death, the family visits Costa Rica for reflection and healing. And howler monkeys.

Family Vacation: The Costa Rica Special

Musicals about Jesus. Nihilistic hellscapes. Space. Puberty (twice). The fourth dimension. None of this matters.   Everything that matters (or doesn't) in the life of Otto. 

A Brother's Journey Part II: Otto

Tornados in junkyards. Mental health. Quantum physics. Social justice. Enter the mind of the program known as Ian. 

A Brother's Journey Part I: Ian

Otto thinks he's the only one in the world, and has difficulty believing the existence of anything outside of his own brain. Meanwhile, Ian's brain is trying to fully integrate that he's living one of 7+ billion similarly rich existences.  Otto: Ian, I'm not sure you exist. Ian: Otto, you exist. I'm an extra in your life.

Just an extra in your life's story

You'll want to listen to this one first.  But. If time has no basis in physics... What does it mean to be first? This explains who we are and what we're doing.... in a less existential, more concrete way, for once. 

Brothers in Awe Teaser Episode: In the Beginning

Two brothers in law explore the meaning of life at family gatherings (because their partners don’t want to hear about it). The answers lie at the intersection of religion, quantum physics, and human relationships.
