Content

In the most ambitious crossover since the Fraggles met the Muppets, this episode features not just two but four(!) middle aged male academics waffling for an extended period on niche topics and internet randomness. 

We are joined by famed moral psychologist and returning guest, Dave Pizarro, and ghost hunter/philosopher extraordinaire, Tamler Sommers.

Stealing the Very Bad Wizards format we have an intro segment in which we sort out all of the silly culture war nonsense then as a side benefit we decode whether ghosts are real and whose pants Chris wore when performing rituals in Japan.

Finally, we move on to the 'meat' of the discussion to examine Paul Thomas Anderson's 2012 movie 'The Master', which explores the relationship between a cult leader and an alcoholic wastrel. Is it a masterpiece or should we all just have watched Dune? Join us to find out!

This one was a lot of fun! Hope you enjoy. Audio coming (NOW!)

Slow down, fellas!!!! I can only find time for one or maybe two podcasts a week. So much content needs to be spread out.

Liam Bright interview was gold. He is right when he called your views naturalist. Matt is closer to Quine than the logical positivists.

You should interview Chris Chambers (psychologist). He wrote the seven deadly sins of psychology. It’s very relevant to your interest surrounding the replication crisis.

I’m mildly disturbed by how bad Tamler’s Rogan and COVID takes are

Why are you trying to ruin my health, I need sleep you know. The first Pizzaro interview was my introduction to DTG and I have listened to that maybe 5 times. This was a very good episode I'm now looking forward to missing out on sleep and watching this instead.

Here I am being an America-centric American, but have none of you podcasters heard about US Navy pilots and others encountering UAPs (the new UFO)? Major report about it in the NY Times in 2017 was the beginning, more recently was this on a weekly US mainstream news show: https://youtu.be/ZBtMbBPzqHY No longer equivalent to ghost sightings, imho.

Two of my favorite podcasts unite, I loved it, but next time review a movie that tackles the topic of ghosts directly, so I can watch Chris laugh at Tamler more, that was great. And to Tamler’s credit, his take on ghosts, that “something for sure is going on… and we should honor that”, really made me think.

I had to resub when I learned that you got both the VBW's on.

37 minutes in and this argument that Tamler is putting forth that it doesn't matter that Rogan has on disinformation spreaders/grifters why does it matter (to him or should it matter to anyone?) is so disingenuous and short-sighted. I can't believe I'm having to point this out. It matters because although he is assuming that everyone has decent critical faculties available and can decide for themselves, we have plenty of evidence to the contrary. That's like saying "well, I don't subscribe to all of Putin's political or personal philosophies, or way of doing things but I can shrug those off and just admire the things I choose to filter out of all the stuff he puts into the world (and has the platform to do so)". Ignoring consequences is a really stupid way to live your life and not very clever way to choose who you believe or how you spend your time. *And* it's a viewpoint of someone with the privilege to do so (there's my culture wars contribution - lol). That's my admittedly judgmental take on it, from the standpoint of being a mother, a therapist, an activist (of sorts) and a conscious and caring human being. End of sermon.
